I remember Metroid 2 being pretty sweet. I would totally buy a zeroified version of it. I wonder if they'll ever make a Metroid Maker. It's about the only way I could imagine them going back to a sprite based Metroid.

Sort of unrelated, but I wonder if Nintendo's new ID system will have trophies/achievements in it. If they did like what sony is doing by adding trophies to classics, that would be gamer heaven

Low% Ridley is tricky but not nearly as difficult as I was expecting because of that cool trick in that AGDQ video. I'm dreading Kraid

It was your first time man, if you want to get better you can. I personally love playing this game over and over, it's so short and fun to play

Yes, once you get power bombs you can do the super Metroid thing and blow up a glass tube and escape the pirate ship

I was reading about 15%/low% runs and they say the power grip is a must-have item only because of a barrier in Norfair. This sounded fishy, but here it is. It just disappears when you get power grip

a Zero Mission style remake of Metroid 2 would make for a holy 2D trifecta on par with the Prime games. right now that trifecta is Zero Mission -> Super Metroid -> Metroid Fusion, but with the Metroid 2 gap it always feels incomplete somehow

It's not that bad, you only get the spring ball when you get high jump. Note that you can now shinespark in ball form as well.

I looked up how to get space jump right after ice beam, and I did, but then I went and fought the first form of the bug boss, and now I'm stuck in Ridley. Is there any way out other than fighting the incredibly hard second form and getting super missles?

There is an exit in the room just right of the elevator, look for some bomb blocks in the top left of that room.

Low% mother brain was a nightmare but I don't think any of the rest of the game should pose a problem, since Hard mode ship is basically identical to low% ship where you can't ever get hit

I should not have underestimated Mecha Ridley Low%...way harder than Hard 100%, woof. I did beat the game but I have to come clean, this is not a Single Segment run. I...I made a savestate after beating Mecha Ridley because it was extremely harrowing and I knew I was gonna die at least a few times on the Black Space Pirates during the escape.

i did that, and i got to have access to most of the Ridley dungeon (even picked up a super missile), but I still don't know how to get back to Norfair besides beating Ridley.
