I was recently playing through this game once again, and was at the part after you get the ice beam/speed booster, and thought maybe the you could get through this part faster. I haven't seen this listed in the speed tricks section, or smokey's 14% do it. However, I'm not even sure if it's possible to do. I don't have enough skill, but maybe someone else may... I'll do my best to explain it.

This possible speed trick takes place in the six horizontal rooms towards the elevator to go down to norfair. I started at the elevator room and went into the room to the left. This is the room right of the tube that you would powerbomb to get to Maridia. I opened the blue hatch on the left, moved all the way to right, and started to quick charge. I continued this past the tube room, and in the middle of the third room, ducked down to prepare the shinespark. I then moved the the room to the left. This room contained two of the green, stretching grapplers (one on each side of the room), the green plant that shoots five needles (right, top-right, top, top-left, left directions) and has reddish walls. This is the part I'm stuck at, but if I could utilize the technique found in this video...

http://www.metroid2002.com/3/speed_tricks_early_wrecked_ship_break-in.php

killing the green plant thing, then shooting a weapon across the room so it would hit the hatch, then shinespark through two rooms.

I wonder if this is possible, as I haven't seen it been done before.

I hope I was clear on the explanations.

Thanks in advance to anyone who read and/or tried this out to see if it works.

You wouldn't see it in Smokey's 14% because he doesn't get the speed booster in the 14%. :P  He does shinespark through that first room in his 100%; I don't know if there's a reason it's only the first room.  Could be that the missile would hit the plant, and in the time it would take to shoot it and another projectile to open the door the grabby thing would get you, I dunno.

I tried it, and I can almost get it, but not quite.

The missile goes over the cactus, so if it worked it would definately save a few seconds.

EDIT: Success! You have to fire one SM to kill the cactus, then quickly fire the second and do as in the wrecked ship one (excpet here, I think hitting left immediately is better). Overall, it's probably still a small timesaver.

I got it using just the beam.  >_>  Took about fifty tries, but hey.

OMG ZSNES movie!

The beam? I tried that and couldn't get it. I find it easier with SMs. Run and charge the spark in the green tunnel, then switch to Supers and go through the door. wait until you stop walking, shoot an SM to kill the plant, then go all the way right, fire/jump, and wait for about 1-2 frames before hitting left (I find that just trying to hit it right away works). Overall, it saves about 2 seconds I'd say. W00t.

Oh, and welcome to the forum CorruptedPhoenix. Or welcome back.

From the sound of it, I think I did that in part 2 of my :55 100% run.  Is what I do at around 19:25 in part 2 what you are talking about doing? If it is, I just use a normal shot (no Ice) to kill the plant, then use a super for the door.

It probably saves 2-4 secs or so, but it looks neat too.

Oh, well gj new guy.  Sorry to disappoint, LM. Laughing I can't remember if I did it in that room first then tried for Wrecked Ship or the other way around (think it was Wrecked Ship first then tried that).

Well then, I'll be sure to download your 100% then. Would like to see how I can improve myself.

Thanks for the video LifeMega, I'll try to do that part as well =P
