Well, I figured since this is my first post, I might as well see if I could contribute something.
Now, I was looking at the site and it states that one obtains early powerbombs in norfair with a well placed wall jump. Well yes, that does work, but what about getting them earlier? I did a search on here, and checked early powerbombs, but no real luck came upon me. I decided to try getting them where you are supposed to, in brinstar with just super missles. No other items.
As soon as one enters the red area of brinstar, instead of going down, go up to the area with the four rippers. Blast each one down with a super missle(as it makes this much easier.)Then, shoot the blocks at the top with a blast. Fall back down and then wall jump up to the top and up into the top most area of the room before the blocks reappear. Then, go get the power bombs as usual.
This allows you to get the powerbombs before even heading to norfair. Of course, where you go from there is up to you. But I thought it was a bit incomplete for only one method to be posted.
What is interesting about this method is that it gives you almost immediate access to several more power bomb expansions, such as the one behind morph ball, as well as the one near the top exit to crateria from the powerbomb area of brinstar. Additionally, this gives you access to more missle expansions earlier. Hooray.
