Mock balling is the most legitimate seeming glitch I think I've ever come across in a game. It's almost a shame it's a glitch. It should have been in the manual as a sort of advanced technique 
. It also makes physical sense as well. Like a stunt man would run fast and jump and land a roll and it would be faster than if he was running slower. I remember first trying it and couldn't get it down consistently for days. Literally practicing for hours on end. I was always doing something wrong with the imputs. Not holding jump when you land, pressing down too early making her bounce etc. Once I mastered mock balling from holding jump all the way I discovered the more advanced version myself : controlling your height/flat mock balling by letting go of jump mid jump and re pressing it. That's when things got really exiting for me.
Another cool but nearly useless trick I've recently mastered is the bomb spread from the air but not from a wall jump. You have to jump and do a fairly complicated set of directions on the d pad and samus morphs for some reason while charging her beam. Which of course she's not supposed to do.
