A shortcut and a trick.

2005-04-24 10:00:17 am

Ok, first, the shortcut.

make like you're going for the brinstar super missile, but when you go through the door, jump onto the next highest piece of ground, hug the wall, and spark upwards.

Now, the trick.

i was running from the "first pirate room" through the save and map rooms in the muthaship, and when i left the map room, i was speed boosting, and i flew through the door, held down down (noty a typo) , and shine charged! Is this the "collorax trick" from fusion? used in ice missile backwards, and shinesparked SA-X.

funny, i didn't think it was possible in ZM...

lol no way

Uhm, the first one is rather well-known, but it's not really useful since you don't have speedbooster there in any%, and you have to go through to get the super missile in 100%. The second one... okay, first, Corollax is a person, he discovered it, so that's the name, and second, I don't really get what you're saying anyway... sounds to me like a normal shinespark-into-slope continuation thing.

I think he means that he fell off a ledge and charged there.

Oh, like as if he were to jump, and then charge right when he landed on the ground... yeah, I think you can do that in mzm too.

No it's not possible if you jump, atleast not in fusion. Fall, you can't be spinning.

I think Ekard did some wierd thing, IIRC Gamecube04 found it, where he jumped while speed boosting but didn't spin jump, a vertical jump without losing horizontal velocity, or something.

A kinda messy explanation, I'll see if I can find the topic.

I saw in bisqwit's forum that you can stop pressing forward one frame and then jump, still keeping the speedbooster but not spinning, and you can recharge when you land, it was in a fusion topic, but it seems it may happen in ZM too.

Quote from Megafrost@Nesvideos discussion board:

While speed boosting, you can jump into the air without going into a flip. This allows you to kneel upon landing on the ground and keep the charge. While running, let go of every key for one frame. Press A on the next frame. Hold down A and forward afterwards to continue boosting through the air.

Keep in mind that I found out about that trick from here. There's a topic somewhere in the Fusion board.

ok, you all know the chozodia map room?

it has a lower bit of floor in front of the right hand door, where you shoot and jump through during the beginning of infiltration. then through the right door, there's the corridor with the super in the roof, and the 2 pirates walzing back and forth.

i came from the first pirate room, the through the save room, then kept going, shot open the right map room door, and speed boosted through, but flew off the higher ledge, through the door. i landed on the ground and shine charged when i landed, in the corridor

now, count how many thies i used the word 'through' in this post Rolling Eyes

You can do that anywhere. Anyway, since you asked, 5.

Good job, though. It's pretty neat when you don't even expect it to happen.
