SNES Metroid – Super Nintendo

SNES Metroid - Platform: Super Nintendo

Refill all Power Tanks
----------------------
Refill all your energy using a Power Bomb (Crystal Flash) 
(seen in DEMO).
This trick will refill Samus' energy to full (with the 
exception of the Reserve Tanks): 

DIRECTIONS
---------- 
1. You must have AT LEAST 10 missiles, 10 Super missiles, 
and 11 Power Bombs (that is the "cost" 
of doing this trick). You also must have less than 50 on 
your energy meter (Reserve Tanks must be 
empty as well) 

2. Press down twice to roll into a ball 

3. Press SELECT 3 times to highlight the Power Bombs 

4. HOLD L, R, Down, and then press and hold the Shot button 
(Default setting for shot is X). 

5. Continue to hold the 4 buttons until the Power Bomb explodes. 
At that point, Samus will be 
engulfed in a white nimbus of light which will refill all her 
energy tanks.


WALL BOUNCE
-----------
This trick will let Samus bounce off of walls to go higher up 
on the screen. There is a place 
in Brinstar where there are three Etecoons, the monkey-like 
creatures. This trick is necessary 
in order to get out of this area. 

TO BOUNCE OFF THE WALLS
----------------------- 
You need to press right or left and then press the Jump button 
so that you do a spinning jump. 
As soon as Samus touches a wall (while still spinning), press 
the opposite direction on the 
control pad and then press jump again. 

If done correctly, this will bounce Samus higher up on the 
screen. IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT 
THING TO LEARN AND WILL TAKE A LOT OF PRACTICE!!!!!! 


SPEED BOOSTER BLAST
-------------------
This trick allows you to break through some types of blocks. 
To do it, you must have found the 
Speed Booster. You also need a long "runway" to build up enough speed. 

TO DO THE BOOSTER BLAST 
-----------------------
Hold down the Dash button (Default Dash button is B), then run 
until Samus is glowing yellow. 
While Samus is glowing, press down once. If you did it correctly, 
Samus should be flashing white. 

Now when you press the Jump button (Default = A button), Samus 
will do a powerful Dashing 
jump in whatever direction you pressed when you hit jump. HOLD 
the R Button (diagonal up 
button. before jumping if you wish to do a diagonal jump. 

NOTE
---- 
When you use this jump, it drains some of your energy!!


POWERED UP LASERS (seen in DEMO)
--------------------------------
After you have collected some Power Bombs, you can do a trick 
using the Charge Beam that allows you to shoot special beams 
using the different lasers. 

TO DO THIS TRICK 
----------------
On the Samus Info Screen, highlight the Charge Beam and ONE of 
the other lasers. Return to 
the game screen and press SELECT three times to highlight the 
Power Bomb Icon. Now hold 
down the Fire button to charge up the weapon and it will do 
something different than it 
normally does (i.e. a protective shield, scatter shot, etc.)

RESCUE WEIRD BIRD AND MONKEYS
-----------------------------
After defeating the Mother Brain at the end of the game, 
You have 3 minutes to escape the 
planet before it blows up. 

On your way back to your Ship, you can take a small detour 
and rescue the Weird Monkeys and the Weird Bird that were in 
the game. If you rescue them, the ending changes VERY 
slightly (i.e. a few pixels are different).
