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).
