Okay, I just had no idea skrees could get in the lava since I usually just run right past them or shoot them as they fall.
Time bomb set get out fast!
I've had it in my head for ages that Dragons (the inconveniently-named lava seahorse enemies) only use their fireballs when you start from a password.  I've now discovered this isn't true -- they just sometimes fire and sometimes don't.  Anybody know what really determines this?  And did anyone else have the same false impression I did?
I wonder why nobody has posted this trick. I learned this way back when I first bought the game, when I was 14! The door glitch can be used to give Samus access to areas she otherwise wouldn't be able to, including secret worlds. Open a blue door and stand inside it, but do not enter the next room. When the door closes, Samus will be stuck inside of it. By rapidly morphing and unmorphing, she can move herself vertically through the wall. Do this repeatedly until she is near the top of the screen. Then press jump repeatedly to scroll the screen upwards, before Samus dissapears off the top of the screen. I think, if I remember right, you can access a special room if you do this on the left door in the room where the energy tank is across the long invisible dropdown shaft. (if that makes any sense!)
lol. possibly one of the oldest tricks ever. i don't know how much it has been discussed/posted here, but it is certainly known by almost everyone.

Yeah it's at least been discovered, but it is odd that there's no page for it on the main site.

Come to think of it, that page needs to have the bomb jump method to reach Varfia.

If you have too many frozen and/or unfrozen Metroids on the screen and you kill just one the game will freeze as long they are all in your view. When I do a Narpassword run this some times happens to me in the room before Mother Brain. Of course it can happen in a normal run if you're not careful.

What I mean by a Narpassword run is using the code NARPAS SWORD0 000000 000000 that gives you all items, infinite health & missiles and then going to Tourian by luring a flying enmy into the Statue Room. You freeze it right when it touches the other side of the bridge and then jump on it and use a morph ball bomb to reach the door.

EDIT: The game will really slow down if enough Metroids enter the screen and stay with you.

I've never had that happen, I usually kill all those metroids as soon as I come to them. But yeah, it tends to lag if you have too many objects onscreen at once. I've noticed lag in Zero Mission on certain parts. It just has trouble keeping up every animation I guess.

You can also get there by beating both Ridley and Kraid first to make a bridge appear. Not sure if you've heard of that trick....

When I glitched through to get into Tourain early. The game freezes when trying to kill Metroids. But, same thing happened without glitching. Is it just me?

I've actually beaten the game normally a few times as well. There's a really odd glitch where if you're fighting Mother Brain and you freeze a Rinka right between you and Mother Brain after breaking the case. If it's close enough to you and Mother Brain it kills you almost instantly. Shocked
Merry Christmas
That was funny
