He can always be hurt in his "in pain" state in the Japanese, European and Australian versions, in contrast to the buggy North American version, in which he is often invulnerable after certain kinds of stuns.

He can not always be hit in his in pain state in the european version. This bug happened twice during one of my fights and happens pretty often. I have a video if anyone cares. It never happened in an any % run and it only seems to happen when I'm fighting him for low %.

I found a glitch thats completely useless I did the get the morphball faster glitch then landed on the floor the music started for the battle and I space jumped out of the room the music did not stop till I went into a save point. It's stupid but it's there.

I find much better not to start the battle, I hate that music on that room, hate the angle in whinch you are respawned, & I think is faster.

I also agree, I hate the music in that room so I usually mute the tv until I go to a save station.

The power trooper at the top of Elite Research seems to act rather weird.

as far as I know power troopers can't be killed with morphball bombs so what got him killed?

my guess is that he died because he got stuck between two objects (it's important that enemies die in that situation, because if they have to be defeated to unlock doors, you could get stuck in the room if you can't kill them). you can see this also with the metroid that tries to get you when you come out of fighting omega pirate (it often dies as it tries to come for you from above).

as for the dash, imo that would be more anti-game borkage code in action, trying to help enemies out of places where they'll get stuck. the game moves the enemy away to a 'safe' place where it won't get into a secret world or something.

great submissions for the site though, thanks.

Nah no problem, keeps me busy.

I had another super jump and another death. The pirate seems to die only on the platform. I was thinking that it might have something to do with that platform that normaly would have been lowerd. As for the metroid, that happens when the metroid goes from one room to the other, it happens a lot when the metroid is sucked on samus her helmet and you roll into another room.

Just observed a glitch in Lava Lake in Magmoor Caverns. I was using a ghetto jump to get over to the hardened lava on the other side when the game decided to make me "stuck" in between the pillar and the wall IN THE LAVA. I got free seconds later.

always move fast

that happens quite frequently in a lot of places. the engine of the game, when you get stuck, pushes you outward, as to avoid getting stuck perminately.

But the game pushed me down into the lava in mid-air.

everybody knows it's true

If you unmorph before the item collect jingle after collecting the boost ball, the you will disappear during the cutscene. One of those weird things.

I run this here hotel of an evening

you can do so with the morph ball (you see samus unmorphing) and the bombs (i think it's the same as with boost, but i'm not sure. it's been awhile) as well. you can probably do this with power bombs too, but i haven't been able to yet

What's with you and pirates??

I found that to be annoying, as I experienced it a couple times

i think the pirates which glitch are the low-paid pie rates, whereas the ones that don't glitch get paid more. paid by the mother brain, or the clone of the mother brain, or possibly....the father brain? dun dun dun........

OMG WTF I found a glitch where I saw Samus's face wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf!

If this is late, sorry.

Just charge up your beam, get close to a wall, and fire it. You should see Samus's eyes. Also, the helmet one is true, also.

If you didn't know he was joking, lol.

It wasn't really even sarcasm anyway. More like, dry humour.

Don't know if this was posted before:

If you get the Gravity Suit without Spider, and go into Morph Ball, you'll get the orange Varia Suit morph ball look instead of the blue Gravity one.

by the way, njahnke, I detest that Hilary Duff avatar. :o
