Best game ever = Super Metroid

Hello once again metroid family! Sorry about the third thread in just a couple of days, but I figured something out awhile back that I figured you guys may be interested in knowing!

I did search for a thread that maybe had it posted already but I didn't find out so I shall inform ya'll if you didn't know. Power bombs can open grey doors, once they are able to be opened though of course! PB can't open a blue door but a grey door.. awesome!

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Can't say I've ever noticed to be honest. Probably just habit, as shooting is always faster while running around.

This is a Kejardon question, but I'll take a stab in guessing that it's related to the doorcap PLM's properties. Pink for Missiles, Green for Supers, and Yellow for Power Bombs - I'd guess that maybe flashing grey doors share all of their properties, and can therefore be opened by anything.

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder

Nope. Just a random discrepancy in the code for no good reason. There's a number of random things like that. Like certain doors opening or closing faster than other doors. The unused morphball items giving the wrong equipment. The default PLM draw command is actually horrendously glitchy but nothing actually uses it. Just off the top of my head.

The faster door thing reminds me of when you get a very high pitched door sound every now and agin. It sounds like a laser or something... Shocked

yea that's a cool sound when it happens. I'm certain blinking doors open much faster than blue doors. I'm not sure but I think power bombs are marginally slower to open than the rest.

Has anybody ever been standing right next to a door (maybe having run at it to begin with) and shot to open it but the door doesn't open?

Possibly, but not that I recall. It could be a case of your forward momentum causing the shot to bypass the doorcap, similar to the Gate Glitch?

Yeah. That happens to me annoyingly often.

Even Orange door facing right opens faster than any other Orange
doors, which is strange
