Ever wondered if you could explore Zebes and kill bosses/mini-bosses with the Hyper Beam in Super Metroid, without using cheat codes or game hacks? Turns out you can, using a few glitches. In this video, I explain how to pull this off, step-by-step. All footage in this video is of gameplay on a Super Nintendo console, using an authentic Super Metroid game cartridge (NTSC, not PAL) purchased in the '90s. I apologize for the video/audio quality, as I don't have any game capture devices, so... The video was shot using an iPhone on a tripod.
Please note that I did not discover any of the individual glitches used in the video; I just thought to utilize them in this particular fashion to be able to play through the game with the Hyper Beam. Here are the 4 major glitches used, with credit given where able:
(1) Stand-Up Glitch: Not sure who originally discovered this, but it has been known for many years. Here's one of the earliest videos I could find demonstrating it: • Super Metroid Speed Tr... .
(2) Escaping Mother Brain Fight with Hyper Beam: Again, not positive who first discovered this, but I'm going to give credit to Adam Iverson, whose video taught me this technique: • Super Metroid Getting ... . This technique works very reliably on console, but if you have issues off-console, Adam Iverson has another method that may be more consistent: • Super Metroid: Getting... .
(3) Mother Brain Fight Skip: I'm almost certain that Kejardon first discovered this glitch back in 2007. A link to the forum in which he revealed this glitch, under the name "MetroidElitest": m2k2.taigaforu...
(4) Escaping the Escape Sequence: Once more, I don't know who originally discovered this, but I first learned about it from watching this insane RAMBO (or RBMBO) speedrun by Zoast: • Super Metroid RAMBO sp...
Enjoy, and thanks for watching! If you have any questions, please leave a comment below, and I'll answer to the best of my ability. Also, let me know if you have success performing these glitches on the PAL version, on emulators, etc.
