You're certainly missing a bunch of missile tanks. Good luck getting PB66 (the one item I gave up on). Also have you seen Red Scarlet's 72% NBMB?

Just a friendly reminder: instead of doubule posting, use the edit button. And welcome to M2K2!

I have but I'm trying to do it on my own. But I will admit that It did give me a good route to use on Norfair (Which by the way I cant seem to jump High enough to wall jump up to the missle tank in front of the green gate in norfair)

To get the height to make that wall jump, you have to run a few steps on the small platform first, then jump.

I believe the highest possible percent in NB/MB is 81%. This includes getting 40 missile tanks, 6 super missile tanks, 10 power bomb tanks, 10 energy tanks, 3 reserve tanks, morph ball, bombs, high jump boots, speed booster, screw attack, X-ray scope, charge beam, ice beam, spazer beam, wave beam, plasma beam, and grappling beam.

The highest possible % without going outside of rooms is 73. The highest with is (I think) 86, (+missile tanks outside Wrecked Ship, Kraid's etank, Plasma Beam, etank and missiles past Botwoon, items past Crocomire, maridia main street missiles, and missile super missile duo in the part of purple Maridia before Botwoon) but most of those are only possible in theory and have never been done on console.

No, more like having to not mess up while spending minutes moving in places where you have no idea what Samus is doing unless you're Kejardon and where a single mistake will probably force you to reset your game. Oh, I figure this would be as good a place to mention it as any, but when I was trying an NBMB and I attempted to get the two missiles to the left of the WS on console, I would follow Kejardon's very detailed instructions and videos exactly, but the game always froze at the same point every time. Has anyone ever gotten any of the out-of-room items on console?

There's also one or two other topics somewhere, but I can't find them ATM.

No plasma beam without gravity suit and killing Draygon:
1. You can´t kill Draygon without gravity( You wouldn´t be able to escape of the room after him).
2. The door doesn´t open until you defeat Draygon.

Hate to tell you this, but you're a bit behind the times, MR.X -- the second link in my post is to a thread about getting Plasma without killing Draygon, and it's certainly possible to defeat him and leave the area without gravity suit, using an interesting glitch involving crystal flash to get a one-time super jump to use in the next room. I'll edit in a link to a thread discussing this. I advise you read the other threads I linked above about NBMB items before commenting on what is and isn't possible.

And I couldn't have made your post useless, BlueGlass, since I posted before you did. ;)

Edit: Here's the topic which discusses using CF to get a super jump, though it doesn't start out talking about that: http://www.metroid2002.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3101

Remember, though, that Kejardon was only able to get the Plasma Beam with both the Gravity suit and the extensive use of savestates.

You actually posted while I was searching for the topics, so I guess it was really a simu-post, and your post contained the topic I gave in my post plus two others, in effect making my post useless.

There's actually several other topics that discuss this as well, but I think you've found the earliest. It seems like every time someone asks about it, someone else ends up typing a lengthy explanation. I think it's something that should go on the main site (Prime has lots of stuff about skipping the various items, why can't Super?), or at least in a sticky topic.

You mean the grapple beam room? First you should go into the secert tunnel for that super missile tank, then go and get the turtle items, then you have the hard part of climbing the wall. It's extremely helpful to use two crabs here. Where exactly are you hvaing trouble?

Try to stay with one crab below you and the other above. When a crab unfreezes, let it walk a few steps before freezing it again. When you're reaching the point where there's barely enough room to jump off of the lower crab, let the upper crab continue on to jut before it gets off the wall and back onto flat ground then quickly shoot a super missile, return to your beam, and freeze it. Then jump over onto it just as the crab you're standing on unfreezes. You should easily be able to make the jump from the midair crab to the flat part of ground above. And the little bit before the door is far easier that the first section, so you should have no problems there.
