![]() So… let’s take a look!Īlways loved the look of this game, that use of background and foreground is so effective… I ended up going with Super Metroid because even though I won’t be able to add a “Thoughts Then” part of the review, it’s such a good game that I just wanted to play it again after giving a proper go for the first time a few years ago. This works well in situations where you want to fire but adjust your position slightly.This was a tricky decision for me, as I actually played the original Metroid when I was younger, but I didn’t like it (it was too hard, as many games were for me at the time, though to be fair in the case of the original Metroid it’s still extremely difficult for me now!) where as I really wanted to play Super Metroid but never did thanks to that old chestnut (on this blog) of the fact that I owned a Mega Drive while my brother had a SNES, so I was at the mercy of his game choices. If enabled, if you begin firing from a standing position while not moving and then you press in the opposite direction you are facing, Samus will begin to Moonwalk backwards slowly in that direction. Moon Walking: Before beginning your game, if you go to the special options menu you can enable the Moon Walk ability.With this method, it is possible to carry a charged shot through tunnels, for instance. Charge Holding: Using the technique discussed under Bomb Spread, it is also possible to charge a beam, morph, and then continue holding DOWN while moving.If DOWN is held, it can delay the release and they will be sent flying much farther than they normally would using the technique. Bomb Spread: After charging a beam, morphing into a ball will release five bombs.When she reaches 1 unit of energy, Shinesparking will be impossible. Any use of the Shinespark uses Samus’s own energy to function. Holding the Diagonal Aim Up button will launch Samus diagonally up. Tapping Jump, then tapping it again will launch Samus in the direction she is facing. Tapping the Jump button will launch Samus into the air at incredible velocity. If done correctly, Samus will beging to flash white. Shinespark: Once the Speed Booster is acquired, Samus has the ability to store and release huge amounts of energy.If two walls are adjacent to each other Samus can jump between them to gain height, or Samus can also jump straight up one wall with some practice. Pressing jump again will allow Samus to jump off the wall. For a brief moment Samus’s sprite will change. When Samus touches the wall, press in the opposite direction. Wall Jumping: Somersault towards a wall.Most controls are the same as standard, however the Morph Ball cannot run, jumping can only be done after acquiring the Spring Ball upgrade, and firing will place a bomb(a Power Bomb if selected). Morphing: After acquiring the Morph Ball, pressing will cause Samus to morph.By latching onto blocks which have an “X” in their center, Samus can grapple across spikes, lava, water, ravines and other hazards. Grappling: By firing after the grapple beam is selected, a bolt of energy will be emitted from Samus’s cannon.Selecting either Missiles or Super Missiles will fire those weapons. After acquiring the Charge Beam and when using the beam weapons, holding the fire button will enable Samus to fire a more powerful charged shot. Firing: Pressing the Fire button will discharge the weapon currently selected.With the Space Jump powerup, she can continuously somersault for an indefinite length of time. ![]() Somersault: By moving Samus forward and then jumping, she will begin to somersault through the air.The Hi Jump Boots will increase her altitude significantly. Jumping: Pressing the Jump button will cause Samus to leap into the air.Aim diagonally while standing: By default will aim Samus’s arm cannon down and up, diagonally, even while at a complete standstill, ducking, or during a jump.While ducking Samus is lower to the ground and may avoid some projectiles or be in better position to attack enemies. ![]() Holding DOWN while walking or running will aim diagonally down while still moving. After acquiring the Speed Booster, continuing to hold the Run button will eventually activate the Booster and Samus will turn a blue color followed by speed echoes, and will be invincible to most attacks.
