i was playing through metroid 3 again on my snes emulator when I stumbled on this site. I hadn't previously known any of these things were possible, and I think it's really cool. Anyway, i decided to see how far I could get in maridia before i had the second suit upgrade. my method is to use the ice beam to freeze the creatures crawling on the walls and use them to reach higher areas. in some cases i need to hit the wall with a super missile to make a creature above me fall down, so i can freeze it in the air. so far i've gotten past the room with the balloon creatures and grappling blocks (i don't have the grappling beam.) that room was extremely difficult and i would not have succeeded without save states. you need to freeze creatures on the wall, jump off as they unfreeze and refreeze them as you fall down to get higher. the last one of these jumps is extraordinarily difficult and i had to try maybe 200 times. i am currently in the room past that and i'm attempting to make my way further.
update:
i made it through that room and proceeded to head up to collect the missile and super missile in the rooms above. after that i went down, where i got 1 more missile, and then got physically stuck in a quicksand area. i'm giving up for now, but i'll try again another time.
