Sparked Rios

2005-07-26 11:47:47 am

In the room under the Rio Room, where that missle tank is, its possible to charge a spark, and launch yourself past the rios. You land on the block by the exit, shoot out the glowing block, then RUN before the rios catch up.
After many trys, i finally got out with only 2 hits, but it might be possible to do without injury.

I find this trick best in 100%, because you charge the spark while leaving a missle tank.

EDIT: I figured this trick out before i saw a run that used it...

everybody knows it's true

This is a Nintendo-expected whee. Like the speed blocks in the beginning of Norfair.

comig from the speed booster room, you can also save a shark, then use it to get to the top of the tall room that leads to the rio room Wink

lol no way

And you can also charge up the speedbooster in the Kraid-Norfair connecting tunnel to the right of the save point and rio room, then charge it, open the door, and spark into the slope on the left, and spacejump into and through the rio room, killing all the rios as you pass by. When they're dead, they can't hurt you.
And yes, it is possible to shinespark in the room, then shoot the glowy block and still make it into the tunnel with no hits... you need to jump as soon as you enter the room and spark in the air, near the cieling, so you hit the wall right above the block itself. It's also possible to shoot a missile into the tunnel right as you enter it so that it breaks the next block, all without getting hit once.
But it's really more just random whether or not you get hit. Random enemy placement, you know... there are the little things you can do to make success more likely, but not much.
