A zipped file would still be too large.

I'll make a vid, I think I know where the trouble area is, not sure though.

Norfair to Brinstar elevator. The problem for Dark SA-X is getting past the zoomers to the elevtors without ice.

Yup, that's what I thought.

And I just noticed that there's a good chance that the upper zoomer is    "just as fast" (hits the wall at the same time) or "faster" (upper zoomer hits wall first) than the lower zoomer, and then it is, as far as I could tell, impossible to get past. The above zoomer must be "slower" for it to work.

ARGH!! This damn computer won't show video properly!!! AARRRGH!! (kicks computer screen in and runs it over with truck)

Sigh. Anyway, the part I'm stuck on is the bit at the very end, where the 2 rippers move back and forth, and overlap each other. I just can't get up that wall without getting killed.

Have you tried to sequence break for the Screw Attack then did it the easy way? Ayways those are Rippers not Zoomers. Zoomers are the things in Brinstar which crawl around the platforms.

One shall stand, one shall ball.
I've made it out of ther with a 2 wall jump, I actually have never been able to single wall jump out....

Never thought of that. I'll try it.

Meh. I've gotten wave without ice before and I started a topic about it here a long while ago.

What colour is the Wave Beam on its own? Is it purple, like on SM?

I thought it was bright blue, but I only picked it up once before ice beam by accident, and I had long beam, so I don't know.

If you find some super missiles, which is possible with the ridley-before-kraid-trick, you can kill the rippers with them.

Yeah, but that's after the skipping Ice Beam trick, so that doesn't really help. Handy info, though. Lets hunt some Rippers, Super Missile style...

It would be a little odd to do Ridley before Kraid without the ice beam, though, since the shortcut shaft is just after it.  Seems like it'd be more practical to try for the super missiles near the Power Grip.
