Glitches you can do in Super Metroid 

During the production of this video, I learned that Spaghettios are a product of Cambell's Soup company, and not Chef Boyardee.

Thank you for using the music of the game instead of some generic tunes and also changing the tracks; this made watching the video more enjoyable apart from learning about this glitches.

I just learn after 20 years, that you can heal using ammo. That blow my mind.

As the original discoverer of the ISP beam glitch, I initially sent a teaser Polaroid of a 107% run to Nintendo Power in the mid-1990s. They actually liked the photography of a different Polaroid and used it as an example of how to take a quality pic in the May 1995 issue. I also recorded some of it on a VHS tape years before unveiling the glitch to my website later in the 1990s. My initial use of the exploit was done in the the first long vertical section you encounter early in the game, left of the ship, heading down toward the old Brinstar, but while still in Crateria, rather than the spot you initiate it from in the video. It actually works in nearly any long vertical section in the game, but it is most ideal to be near a door so you can hopefully avoid crashing the game.

I believe the "murder beam" holds onto Ridley's tail -- and inflicts continuous damage -- because the point on the end of the tail has a mechanic to "catch" Samus and pull her closer. That same mechanic will catch the "murder beam" block and (since it doesn't have a period of invincibility like Samus does) hold it until it kills him. Just my programmer's brain coming up with a possible explanation. :)

The reason why only the left-gate glitch can be exploited (but not the right ones) is related to Samus own pixels. Unlike the vast majority of games, she has different animations (and pixels) when facing left or right. That's because they made it so that her weapon, which is right-handed, will be so even when she's turned left. Since her right arm is "behind" her frame when facing left, the glitch is possible.

*Sees him aiming towards the green gate from the other side* Me: There's no way

The last boss in this game gave me nightmares for about a year as a child and convinced me monsters could come up through the floor in my bedroom. All because my mother had me skip school one day and I watched her play this game when I was 5.

Speedrunner here. The murder beam doesn't effect a single tile, but the entire column at it, above it, and below it. With mother mother brain fight, if you stand directly under her head when she's standing at the back, the beam will keep pushing her back and damaging her nonstop. It can also be used against Kraid, Draygon, Botwoon, Crocomire (with some luring), but is absolutely useless against spore spawn because damage has to pass through the sides, due to the design of it's programming. The murder beam in terms of "strength" is basically a charged powerbomb. The reason it attaches to ridley's tail is because his tail is made of blocks, not "enemy sprites". But because they aren't normally destructible, the murder beam tile/column gets stuck. Fun fact: the hyper beam has the exact strength as a full charged plasma beam. If you use a game genie to give it to yourself from the start, it won't kill a majority of the bosses in one hit, but both can put crocomire in a permanent damage/walkback animation after you hit him once with anything else (it's an in-game flag). Any time he tries to open his mouth, he immediately takes more damage, basically one-shotting him. The reason it does "so much" to mother brain is purely because of programming cinematics. EXTRA FUN FACT: If you take the blue suit all the way to mother brain, and even if you used the time/space beam (you called it the reset glitch) to gain literally 300 energy tanks, if you shinespark into mother brain's legs you get stuck and can watch all those tanks disappear in a second. It's guaranteed death because you can't stop even if you turn off speed booster. No use, it's just fun.

Mach ball can easily be performed going through door transitions giving you a chance to buffer the down input going through the door.

I've never seen anyone mentioning this fun little detail/glitch I found when I was a kid. Basically, if you fire a charged beam and swap your selected beams before it disappears, the beam's graphic/palette changes. For instance, your charged Plasma+Ice beam can turn into a pink array of regular beams. This also works on charged power bomb attacks

Really good explanations! The mockball (mocking or copying the run speed in the morphball, which I agree is a weird name) seems to be difficult mostly because it's hard to explain. Speedrunners use this trick so often it becomes second nature, so when they try to use words to describe it they miss important details. When I mockball, I release the run button completely and hold the JUMP button down. After you jump into the air, you'll stay in the running speed without holding the run button down. So I run and jump and release the run button, then press down, then exactly when I hit the ground press down and make the "hadouken" motion. The whole time you're rolling in the mockball at high speed, you can hold the jump button down but have the run button released. (Just disable springball if you have that collected) I'm not a speedrunner myself, but I play a lot of randomizers. After a little practice, I can do the mockball very reliably even though I'm not particularly skilled.

Dude. I have been playing Super Metroid since it came out, and have played it through it countless times. I always did so on my own terms, no FAQS, etc. Consequently, I had no idea that you could use the grapple shot to shock yourself and the boss at the same time. Mind = blown to learn a new, legitmate tactic in a 25 year old game. The glitches were cool too, but that was my major take away, lol.

The best metroid of all

I have one complaint, thats all, there would be no point in skipping spore spawn with crystal flash because you need power bombs, which you get way after defeating him, meaning that if you want to pull this off you would need to go back here once you get powerbombs, you would already have super missiles if you did the mochball trick, so the only purpose would be to get a super missile expansion which is not really needed unless you are going for 100% Great video though, thanks for the great info man! I actually learnt the mochball from this video. you really helped me get a start to speedrunning this game.

With the Reset Glitch, you can go further by returning to your ship and saving. If you reload the game and start from that file, you’ll begin the intro and Ceres Station with all items you’ve collected and the glitched sprites will disappear!

Still the greatest game of all time. That music still gives me goosebumps.

The mock ball is also useful for obtaining the ice beam early, as it also uses a shutter gate for checking if you have speed booster or not. And an addendum to the green gate glitch, there is a room in Pink Brinstar that usually requires the wave beam to pass a blue gate and find an energy tank, but there is a specific position on the far left side of the room where firing a super missile diagonally upward will clip through the blue gate, and open it. It's useful to reduce the backtracking in a 100% run, and also very useful for randomizer runs.

Yeah, I've been messing around with the reset glitch quite alot, very easy to do though it does seem to work a bit differently in the various versions of the game, with different rooms being preferred, doing it in the wrong room will always crash the game. But I've done it on both NTSC roms and PAL consoles and once it's set up there seems to be no negative side effects, you even get special misaligned graphics for every E-tank you grab once above the limit that properly display in game or from the save file selection screen. One important thing to note about that glitch is that when you save the game after activating it the game progress will reset you back to Ceres station once the save is then loaded, one really cool thing you can do there is powerbomb the doors because for some weird reason the can be destroyed, weirder still is that there's a special sprite used for the broken doors.

the x ray climb almost feels like a successor to the morph-unmorph wallclimbing from the first game, though much slower

I’m disappointed that “standup glitch” didn’t make the cut since it is popular in the randomizer and done in the 100% speedruns. It allows a player to shoot charge shots at mother brain during the period that the metroid is healing Samus.

Out of all the glitches you showed, what I found the most interesting was the non-glitch - the Crystal Flash. I had no idea that you could do such a thing and it's a legit ability too. Just when I thought I knew everything there was to know, you get me with this. Oh and all the glitches were pretty damn impressive - I had no clue about any of those either. Especially that last one...crazy. How do people figure these out?

This is gonna be one of those "actually..." posts, but bear with it. Just wanted to add some detail to the explanations and some accuracy, as well as other interesting things. Hopefully it's interesting and even helpful for some people, maybe to the maker of this video himself as well. But first I want to thank for an interesting and well presented video. The list of glitches is cool and pretty important to speedruns too. I would've maybe included spring ball jump in liquids as one of the interesting tricks/glitches, because it can open up a lot of areas without gravity suit and is very easy to perform. However it's not very practical in vanilla game. And on the other hand touching spacetime beam with murder beam, which for the longest time was the main way of completing any% glitched and is super interesting, while also easy to perform (just hard to get lucky not to crash if you're playing on original snes. Emulator versions don't crash, for example virtual console). Then there's moonfall that revolutionized some categories and is also very easy to perform. The only thing I'd ask was to make it 4:3 instead of stretched 16:9. So here starts the boring list: Zeb skip actually works so that the game tries to line up the hitboxes against each other, not because it tries to put samus on top of the rinka. This is why you have to freeze it before it moves even a pixel, because it pulls you inside the wall. On green gate glitch the super missile's travelling speed is high enough combined with your position (as well as your momentum since for this you need to be standing apart from the gate and move towards it) to clip to the other side of the gate. About crystal flash and spore spawn skip it's probably worth noting that it's not likely that you will have necessary ammo for crystal flash when spore spawn is relevant, making the camera trick the normal way in practical uses. However there are some useful applications of crystal flash clipping, like in Maridia with item restrictions, getting to botwoon or spring ball. The mock ball is actually very lenient, there's plenty of frames before ground touch that keep the speed. There's also way better setups for the early supers mock ball. It becomes trivial, practically free, if you run before the door in the previous room and jump into the room, or if you run just slightly on the platform and perform the mock ball before crumble blocks. Draygon in itself has a lot of interesting glitches and blue suit too. The cool part about blue suit at Draygon's lair is that you can turn it into spike suit or flash suit, depending on which term you prefer, by unmoprhing and standing up when you take damage from one of the side turret frames (just be aware that it is a double frame perfect input, so it will take time. There exists a great tutorial about the frames by galamoz on youtube). Flash suit allows Samus to run and activate the spark by pressing up or R mid air. Or pressing jump and sideways on ground. All the usual ways to activate it, that is. Draygon, blue suit/flash suit and crystal flash also can be all tied together with interrupting a crystal flash by Draygon grab, giving Samus flash suit, that you can turn into blue suit. A common way to escape Draygon's lair suitless is by grapple jump, spring ball jump, then either x-ray climb or sparking up. Tying many of the topics of the video once again to this single area. Pressing the dash button is not necessary in any part of the X-ray climb though. The setup for Draygon's lair doorstuck should be easy after a couple of tries, I highly recommend checking foosda's RBO tutorial for grapple climb and then this for the doorstuck setup ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-peqVYX9s534.html if you want to try it for yourself. If people are interested in the glitches, there's a whole public wikia for speedrunning/all the possible data you could want from Super Metroid right here: wiki.supermetroid.run/Main_Page . Just be warned, there's also a huge pile of academic writings about research in Super Metroid that are in no way organized and that include a lot of unused glitches/mechanics in the game. There's also links to communities where you can ask your questions and plenty of tutorials on youtube, for all of the tricks on this video for example, and the wikia also has a trick video tutorial database. If you ever find writings or content made by Eternised Dragon about this game, you can be sure it's as accurate as it gets, as well as rather unique. Matrick and foosda on youtube have created quite a few videos about this game, mainly learning material and strategies, as well as many others. Hopefully this brings some additional value and maybe helps someone :)

8:53 I've been playing an item rando lately and learned that there is an easier way to perform mockball. I use the door as an input buffer so the execution is less tight. Just need to make sure you don't hit your head on the door on the way in.

My favorite video game of all time! I spent countless hours playing this game in '94 and loved every minute of it. Most of these are new to me, as well. Thanks so much for the great video!!

The mockball isn't that bad if you have more space than that. In my opinion, the easier way to do that specific hallway is to run and jump as you enter the door to the room. That way you have more space and time to pull it off. Also, the hallway before the elevator to Tourian is a phenomenal place to practice it. Credit to ProtonJon for pointing that out in his Let's Play.

Incredible video and showed just the content instead of filler after filler. Also, thanks for not screaming or talking overly energetic (this becomes exhausting after a while when youtubers do that). You're a true Metroid geek (like most of your viewers) which made this enjoyable to watch.

Ah, finally a video where I knew all of the glitches, and have even performed many of them myself. I have only pulled off the Mock Ball a couple of times, but I'll never forget the first time I used the Reset Glitch AKA the Space/Time Beam for that New Game Plus experience. I remember hearing at the time of discovery that it could also be performed somewhere else, I want to say in the big room leading to the wrecked ship, to make the game think you're in the final escape sequence and from there return to your ship for what is essentially a credits warp, but I never personally tried that.

I really don't even understand how people discover things like that final glitch, but that is awesome.

What an awesome video. Never had glitches and exploits explained so well!

Digging this compilation! Always love learning more about the favorite SNES game. Cheers!

I randomly stumbled across your channel today and I’m glad I did. I watched your videos on my three favorite games of all time, this one, symphony of the night, and aLttP. I can honestly say that I love these games and seeing how you handle them it seems that you do as well.

I find the mock ball for super missiles to be a bit easier if you run and jump from outside the room. You basically want to start the jump right as you enter the door and you can hold the run and jump buttons throughout the mock ball (assuming you don't have spring ball or high jump boots on). (I suck at short jump mock ball). As an added note, the way I learned it, the mach ball is where you do the glitch with speed boost to keep blue status as a ball, and mock ball is when you just keep regular running speed as a ball.

the blue suit is absolutely used in speed runs to save time going back through the large room with the metroids. that shine spark is a valuable time saver right there

I am glad to see you cover actual glitches in this instead of just speedrun tech. (Machball is debateable as there is actual code for it in the ROM, but I won't argue the inclusion.) I do wish you had done a little more research into the Zebetite skip though. There are four different methods of it, and the one you cover is the only one that requires Screw Attack be turned off. This isn't a how-to video so it isn't a huge deal, but since you do explain how to perform the glitches I think that's a gap worth mentioning. Otherwise this was one of the more enjoyable videos on the subject I've seen

Dude... your videos are absolutely amazing. I just subbed. Now its time to binge watch your channel like its Netflix.

I was trying Mach Ball near the crashed phantom ship when I was younger once, and somehow, accidentally enabled the reset glitch, which also sent me all the way back to the Ceres station. It was in one of the lumpy connector tunnels that you enter from the left, and I remember doing it more than once. I'll have to see if I can replicate it again.

9:01 I hate to be that person who goes and contradicts you, but I wanted to let you know that the difficulty you seemed to be having with mockball was because you were trying to do it on *top* of the crumble bridge itself, which does make the trick a lot more difficult. If the mockball is done on the stable ground *before* the crumble blocks, the trick is a LOT more lenient on timing. The way it is used typically, the player jumps before the door transition from the room on the left, and that will give them plenty of speed and height to land on the ground before the bridge, and by doing a sort of "hadouken" quarter-circle forward motion on the dpad as you land, you can slide right under the gates. Coming from someone who plays a lot of Super Metroid randomizer and multiworld, I can understand taking my words with some salt as it's easy for me to say something's easy if it's easy for me, but while some tricks in super metroid are fairly difficult, as long as you know the right way, mockball can be easier than you might expect.

If been playing that game since the day it came out I never knew that you could do all of this the music brings back some good memories from when I was a kid thank you very much for the great video

Another cool thing about the reset glitch, you can save it. After peforming the glitch, go straight back to your ship and save the game. Reset the console / emulator and load the file. The intro sequence will play again only with Samus using the items you already collected. For some reason, your missile count gets reset to 0, but all of the other items including super missiles and power bombs remain.

I see metroid I click it's just that simple 😄

The introduction is great, your explanation on ROM based console games is simple and to-the-point. It's a reminder that quality games are complete before they ship out, unlike dam near every game nowadays that are released unfinished and depend on patches from the internet.

I first played this game in about 1997 and it took me till about 2001 to fully explore and finally complete. Laugh if you like but bare in mind this was the pre internet era. The amount of secrets this game holds for a game made in 1994 is absolutely mind-boggling. I'll never be able to reach the speed running peak some seasoned Metroid gamers can reach, but it just shows how far you can push this extraordinary game to it's limits. The game is an absolutely incredible work of art that's perfect to play to this day.

I ended up trying the Reset Beam/Spacetime Beam in other rooms, and found a couple where, instead of reversing time, you step into a room that has the timebomb triggered, enabling you to quickly end the game. I think one I ended up finding was the hallway before the bomb upgrade. Since there wasn't a lot of room, the surrounding area ended up being difficult to navigate, falling through the floor/ceiling, but I passed through the left door eventually.

You did miss one key detail about the reset glitch. If you perform the glitch, save and reset, you'll start the game again, back on Ceres station. You'll have everything except for standard missile tanks.

the mach ball is actually slightly faster than running. iirc, it has to do with the physics engine. something about the momentum values of regular samus vs ball samus and also the speed values, or something like that. speedrunners will use the mach ball basically whenever possible(until the speed booster) because it saves time overall. also, i very quickly learned it, whereas i have yet to master the zeb skip and kqk. something that helped me, and may help others here, at that last frame, where you have to press down and right at almost the same time, do a quarter circle like you would for a hadouken.

the new game + glitch was really interesting, and its one of those glitches that accidentally adds additional gameplay features that are literally just more fun for the player. great video!

6:00 “It can also be used to skip Sporespawn, the first mini boss in the game” *grey torizo has left the chat*

I remember using Brickroad's guide years ago. It's a lot of fun to do things out of order with these glitches. I once used the reset glitch multiple times in one playthrough and glitched out my Super Missile and Power Bomb counters by obtaining over 100 of each.

Thank you for calling those spaghettio’s! I’ve been calling those round things that since ‘94!

Great vid, hahaha man many glitches for amazing speedruns. I was wondering - Had a glitch occur waaaaay back when during the mother brain fight where upon being Cutscene owned by her hyper beam, i remember rapidly tapping buttons to see if i could escape the state on my 3rd run of the game and i dont know what sequence i pressed(7year old pressing all the buttons at high speed) but i was able to break free and move around while the baby metroid came to suck MB's powers, the game did crash upon the sequence continuing as i guess the script intended samus to remain in a single position while the baby gave her the hyper beam. Only managed to repro once at the time as i wasnt into game testing yet so Steps to repros werent in my vocabulary at the time. The funky stuff we find in those games nowadays xD

Thank you for such an informative video I've been meaning to play this game I have it on my hyperspin PC computer I have a lot of games on emulation but now you really motivated me to try to play this game cuz it's awesome

How to kill Ridley: Step 1: Break the laws of physics Step 2: Light him on fire

“Spore spawn, the first mini boss in the game” Torizo: Am I a joke to you? edit: ok yeah it’s not living statue I just didn’t know the name

You say mockball is really hard to pull off, but oddly enough, it's the only glitch I can perform up to now xD Can't seem to get the timing right on the quick Kraid kill (need practice I guess) and these green gates really don't cooperate with me whenever I wanna open them from the wrong side. Still, nice video! :)

Great video kid this game was responsible for some of my most memorable moments and highlights In my gaming history. When I hook up the ole SNES and play on a crt tv 📺 it’s like I’m transported back in time. Great job

FINALLY, man. God, I've been waiting for a new video from you since your Bloodborne video

Failboat was playing Super Metroid (on the Switch with nintendo online) and was messing with corruptions. After he escaped the research lab and Samus's gunship landed on the planet, Samus came out of the ship, but then went right back in. It then showed the mission success screen and then the credits.

Great video! Makes me feel like playing SM again

Very interesting video! I'm a fan of the game, and was aware of some of the glitches but didn't knew the details. Very cool to see each one on detail!

Super Metriod is my favorite game on the SNES of all time. I still have a cartridge copy till this day. I will be buried with this game fo sho. But I am blown away with these glitches, I've never seen them until this video. Absolutely amazing video

Have you noticed that, while aiming up on the air, if you turn around, the front facing Samus looks like Metroid: Return of Samus artwork? I think i saw that art before, in the 16-bit era.

I’ve been pulling off some higher level skills and glitches for years, and for some reason I’ve not been able to time the kraid quick kill in any kind of consistent way. Awesome vid, thanks!

Re; the mockball: funfact, the distance you can be above the ground before morphing is equal to the difference in Samus height when crouching versus standing (ie; If Samus is about 2 blocks tall when crouching and 2.75 blocks tall when standing, so you have to be less than 0.75 blocks above the ground when you morphball). Also, the jump button needs to be held down for most of the jump. That aside, good stuff... never knew those details about the 25-some screen space-time beam.

Cool, I'm glad youtube recommended me this video, I love Super Metroid stuff

Something I've done with the Reset Glitch is made it so I spawn right back at Ceres Station but with all my upgrades. So really if pulled off right, the Reset Glitch is like an unintended New Game +.

Really interesting video. You got a new subscriber. I remember glitching through the green barrier years ago by accident. I was like woah holy shit lol. Oh btw how do you skip spore spawn I thought you don't even get super missile until beating him?

My favourite has to be the Murder Beam glitch and man, thank you for the reset glitch! And i think i have discovered a new glitch. If it isn’t already discovered, i would like to call it: the earthquake glitch. So you need to preform the VAR Glitch the same way you do the reset glitch, unequip the plasma beam, back out fo the menu, and do the VAR Glitch again without adding the beam. Don’t charge up and fire as the game will actually crash if you do. Instead, fire a normal shot and if the screen shakes and samus falls through the ground, you got it working.

That Mach Ball was Impressive!

that healing thing is so cool when my dad bought this for me back in 1995 the guy at the game store wrote down the code buttons to push for it to work. I never knew u had to have less than 50 health. Plus not to mention my dad didn't take me with him since it was a surprise so i never learned it until years later. super Metroid Secret of evermore and Illusion of Gaia were all classics.

I remember one specific room where you can use the var beam to start early end game countdown without going to tourian, go straight back to the ship and you're done. I forgot which room is it though.

I need to say something with the Reset Glitch which is that if you save the game with the Glitch already done and exit the game you will return to the Space Colony (Was it?) Well the first place where you appear and where you fight with Ridley and he almost kills you and take the metroid larva well then you will appear and with all the improvements although I think they take away the normal missiles I'm not sure and a couple more failures with this being in the space colony before time, such as using the X-Ray and other things but that's all

Awesome. I'm not the only person who calls those things Spaghetti-O's. Seriously, that's what I've called them since I was a punk playing Metroid 1.

oh my god he's back

The shock death to the big green monster, I actually learned from the Players Guide that Nintendo POWER sent out. My cuzzo had a subscription and he happened to get 2 sent to him. He was living in KY at the time so he mailed one to my bro and I. Read that gawddamn thing soooooo much!!! So when my mom was actually ahead on bills, we were lucky enough to get it one fridge when she'd gotten home from work!! Lordy LAWDY!!! Sunk sooo many hours into this game on that cartridge! Dont have the S Metroid anymore but I DO still have the OG SNES from '91 my broski got for xmas!

Dude this is beautiful. Thank you for showing some things in my favorite game that I had no clue about.

1:56 looks more difficult than it really is lol... I used to play the hell out of Metroid zero mission. never speed run or anything. Just bored as a kid. I remember beating it on hard mode. I would be able to fire a super missiles in to Mecharidley's core orb thing on the way up and the way down while doing short jumps. Beating him in seconds, and yet some how I would ALWAYS DIE to the elite space pirates guarding the (sperm looking) ships in the bay. They're obviously the real final bosses of Zero Mission. Anyways I played again years later. I laughed as I entered into Mecharidley's room. Haha, this will be easy. I then proceeded to do everything wrong. Jumped way too high, firing both my missles on the way up and missing both times above and below. I tried again and wasted two or three super missiles. I slow down and just start firing one at a time on the way down during the slowest part of the fall with shorter jumps. I get a few in then run out and had to finish him off with regular missiles., on normal mode lol... that was humbling to say the least.

As most people here, I’ve been playing this game for 20 years and I never knew you could do any of the things that are on this video 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Glad I stuck around for “top 24 screens” visual/explanation!! I’m a former game journalist, and Super Metroid is one of my favorites of all time. I picked up a mint copy in Japan for ~$8 back in 2008 or so. It has a few changes, and is mostly in English.

If you can pull the reset glitch off in the haunted ship, up near the statue that normally carries you down the hidden steps, and re enter the room, the room will act weirdly, you can leave just fine but the statue will not grab you or move as intended

Loved that game. Even my dad would be playing it when I got home from school in the 90s and he never played video games haha

Not sure how well known this is, but there is also a glitch that causes Samus' sprite to get messed up if you get hit by a bomb while hanging off a grapple block.

Excellent video. I'm a little surprised you didn't feature "the standup glitch" but I can forgive it because the rest was great :)

I love all glitch channels thank you for your time

Super Metroid is one of the greatest games of all time.

The X-ray climb reminds me of that old Metroid trick of using the morph ball to climb in basically the same way.

We found some Game Genie glitches back in the day, like having the hyper beam early in the game. Its appearance depended on what beams you had acquired up to that point. With just the basic beam it was the small beam sprite repeated over and over in rows and columns to make up the width and height of a hyper beam shot.

I’ve found it’s easier to do the mock ball for the early super missiles by starting the jump in the other room. Run and jump through the door. As Samus transitions the room, release every button except jump. When she enters the room hold down, then tap down and roll your thumb to the right direction button to the right as you touch the ground. I’ve found this makes the mock ball easier to pull off.

The thing I like about Metroid is how you have to explore and find stuff.

the reset glitch is the most broken I've seen a game since the exploration glitch in zelda link to the past

Great video. I know its not a complete list but i feel stutter run or short run is important. Also moon fall or moon dance.

in the european version of the game, you can pull off the reset glitch without corupting the screen. you only need to activate all the beams, then charge a beam and go out the described door at the same time you shoot while either standing right at the door or while using the moon run movement option. after resetting, save in samus ship and load the file to start at ceres station. try.

"If you have access to a copy of Super Metroid, you can likely perform these yourself," Everyone with Nintendo Switch Online:

This is great, but please don't stretch to 16:9! The morph ball is not the morph oval. Still, what a great video.

I just managed to do the mockball for the first time ever and got early super missiles to try the Spore Spawn skip and fast kill on Kraid, although the spot where you stood in the video didn't work for me as the camera didn't have any of the wall in frame but i was in the right spot but it wasn't working, I had to do a running jump shot to break the super missile block and it worked first try.

Loved the video!!! Do the rest of the glitches and tricks!! I like the details you gave aswell very good stuff... i can only do the mach ball for early suoer missiles

When you finish the game with all items collected twice, does it give you a 200% rate?

I wish I knew some of these glitches 25 years ago, I'm not sure how I got here, but I enjoyed the nostalgia.

This is a high quality documentary. Very well done, wow!

I’ve played this game a thousand times and never even knew you could regain health from your ammo supply and it being a genuine mechanic 😂😂😂 that actually got me more than the glitches you mentioned, so thank you!!!
