I played up to getting the gravity suit last night. It looks so drat good.

Planned playthroughs:

-100% normal (current)
-100% hard
-15% normal or hard

Then I'm going to try and learn to any% speedrun it.

Note: super is still the best.

I'm still butthurt rage qqing because they made a GBA emulator for the WiiU instead of the 3DS

Deal with it. It runs perfectly on Wii U thanks to the emulation geniuses at M2. Maybe some day nintendo will think about GBA on 3DS but I'll take perfect gameplay on the Wii U until then.

That was a hard as balls shinespark from the chozo ruins to the pirate ship.

It was more like 5 shinesparks, 100% speedruns of this must be crazy.

Some of the items are really crazy to get in this one. I definitely want to learn how to do fast 100% runs.

Oh badass, you can see how many powerups of each type are in every area on the map after you beat the game.

There's a different picture for hard mode @ sub 15%.

just realized you can jump in ball form, right after beating ridley

i've been doing bomb jumps this whole time

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.

Now do it for real.

If I can finish up all my MM fishing tomorrow I'm going to finish hard 100% then move on to let's say...a 13% run perhaps.

Prime 2 has 17 bosses and zero ridleys. That's why it's my fave prime.
