Of course, those creatures were Etecoons and their only mission in the game is to teach you of your inherent ability to wall jump. That's right...you can wall jump without any items, once you master the mechanic. Games just don't do this anymore...they're so focused on creating am accessible avatar and gameplay system that they neglect to give advanced gamers new mechanics that they can use to sequence break. For this reason, and many others, Super Metroid IS the best game of all time. |
Yeah, luckily I hadn´t saved because that bit drove me crazy! I have an idea on how to do it though, I will try it when I get home. Man, I am 36, and feel like a kid :P.

I didn't even fall for that. They pulled the same trick in the original Metroid, so I knew what they were trying to do. I jumped in the pit afterwards though.

I suppose a big part of my negative attitude came from me being a SEGA fan. So, naturally I assumed I wouldn´t like their SNES counterparts. I have, however, now started playing through Super Metroid (just got the lava suit) and it is utterly amazing! The setting, music and graphics really pull you in. You also grow into this super hero gradually and just feel more and more superior. It feels like a whole new world of gaming has opened up for me and I look forward to playing A Link to the Past, Castlevania and the likes soon enough. I just wanted to share this great experience! Hope you too have found gems on consoles you previously didn´t like/play on! :) What is you favorite Super Metroid memory? |
curious, what system are you playing it on?

I am ashamed to say that I am playing it on an emulator with my 360 controller. I have started looking around for used SNES:es now though, I am looking for a Mega Drive aswell now since I have misplaced my old one.
I think breaking the glass and entering Maridia is what is clearest in my mind.
I had never played Metroid back when everyone was hyped about Prime, me included, so leading up to the release I decided to play Super Metroid, to see what it was all about.
Going from Super Metroid directly to Prime I had a great experience with both games.

Crazy.....not liking ANY of the Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Star Tropics/Kid Icarus/Kirby/Etc. games on NES? That's missing out on quite a lot.
But congrats on finally trying Super Metroid. It is, in fact, one of the best games ever made.
Which is why I wish they'd quit fucking around and make an actual sequel to it (sprite based, HD) on Wii U.......

I know, I get that alot :).
I just found SEGAs arcade approach more satifying, and I found alot of Nintendos offerings a bit... boring dare I say. But remember, I saw those games through the glasses of a fanboy, so I aim to revisit some of them :).

I actually found that part pretty annoying, since walljumping is pretty technical, and no guidance is given on what buttons or timing to use. Esoteric special moves were the only part of the game the drove me to read a FAQ.

Yeah, I remember that quite clearly too. It was the only part of the game in which I had to use a walkthrough (sigh)... The way this game goes, it's quite an achievement to beat it without any sort of help, so for me that was a terrible moment. |
I only needed help in Norfair after Crocomire, where you have to use super speed and then jump, but not the special jump. I didn't know you could that and thought I was supposed to leave. I don't even think it should have been possible, but I left, twice.
