Bomb Jump: If you can’t seem to jump over a ledge even with Jumping Boots try this technique. Lay a bomb and quickly stand up. When the bomb detonates jump. If you timed it just right you will go higher than you normally could.
Mid-air Jump: If you happen to accidentally walk or roll off a ledge then try this trick to get back up. If you are in a ball get out of it and jump. This and the previous trick take advantage of the fact that if you are in a standing position you can jump.
Wall-door Jump: Probably the best(and hardest) secret technique in the Metroid game. Stand in a door so that only your gun and part of your arm is in the door. Now press up and down very rapidly on the D-pad. Samus should go up while she is encased in solid stone. If you do this in the right place you can discover unique secret worlds. If you do it wrong you will turn into a ball, unable to get up and unable to move. If this happens try the trick below.
End the game: To end the game anytime pause the game and press up and a on controller 2. You will be given a password and you will continue in the same zone you “died” in.
Normal Secrets
Get to Tourian without beating Kraid or Ridley: First of all, get all the missiles and items(except the Wave Beam) that you can without beating either mini-boss. Now you should have 105 missiles and 6 energy tanks. Make sure you have full energy because you'll need it. Go to the room in Brinstar that is right before the room with the mini-boss statues. Find a Rio, a winged monster that jumps down, attacks and flies back up. It's hard, but try to get him to follow you into the next room(with the mini-boss statues) with you. Once you have done that go down into the lava and the Rio should follow you. Now try to freeze him at just the right point where you can use bombs on him and propel yourself to the other side. This is where the energy comes in handy because you'll probably stay in the lava for a while. |
