Couple of things I found

I found these on my own, so I dont know if these have already been found (sorry I used my user account to upload the file, I had problems with attaching).

metroid sparked: This is what I'm most interested in. I thought I could shinespark a metroid using an emulator so I tried it. But instead of killing it or going through it, it sucked onto me and I went into a never-ending shinespark (this doesnt happen all the time). Perhaps someone can explain.

morph ball trick: Just a speed trick I found for people who cant do it this way. Dont know if its really useful, though.

I knew about that weird infinite metroid shinespark before,but that was done using Codes and I don't think I've ever done it without it. Explanation? Don't have one,sorry.

The second trick is certainly new,though it would only be useful an a Kraid first any% run,if getting Hi-Jump before Ridley doesn't waste any time. (You need the E-Tank in the room in an 100% run).

Good work anyway.

That shinespark seemed to be foreseen by the game's creators, but it is indeed a nice find. I do a shinespark like that to get through that room, but it's on the lower duct so I get the E-Tank while traveling.

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

what would happen if you froze the metroid

I did some experiments with the infinite shinespark code. It seems that when you hit the door while shinesparking, you will go into a never-ending shinespark. If you freeze the metroid, you will get stopped by it and nothing happens. If you let it latch onto you and you go diagonally into a wall, you will slide up the wall and stop at the ceiling. I will try to make a vid if I can.

Here it is.
