A VisualBoy Advance 1.7 (BIOS) movie of me showing how to get an early missile tank. Normally, you'd need the ice beam and power grip to get this. Not anymore.

Using the Bomb Ladder technique, you can scale the wall and go right up into the missile expansion's room.


Also, a note on the bomb ladder, you it's possible to stop right in the middle of trick. It's sort of "hovering" while doing the trick. Simply, while in the air, place the bomb in the same spot a few times, and you just go up and down. I think I used that hover thing in that movie, to escape the brown floaty things.

-edit-
More early missile tanks and another way of getting the varia suit.

All of my early missile expansions use the bomb ladder.

For the varia suit, the only difference from the other method is that I used the Power Grip to get in there. This obviously skips the high jump boots.

An early Energy Tank as well.


Bomb Ladder is awesome!
Thread title: 
I kept wondering why your first movie was going out of sync, until I realised I had VBA 1.6a Now I'm wondering why the others don't :?

Anyway, I've found another early missile tank in Brinstar. Normally, you'd need the power grip, but it's our friend infinite bomb jump to the rescue. I'm embarassed that I nearly died on the red geemers, though.

This was recorded with VisualBoy Advance 1.6a, and a BIOS.

Edit: I just remembered that I had already blown the bomb block when I decided to record this, but didn't reset the block. This new video shows it with the block there at the start, plus shows off that I can spell missile if I try hard:
