Hey guys, just got a question, wanna see what you all think.
The Spring Ball's location in SM has always bugged me. It's not exactly the most powerful ability, and I'd put it somewhere between Power Bombs and Wave Beam in the "intended" item order.
Yet, it's tucked away right at the end. It's the second-last item you get, just before the Screw Attack. The game almost throws you at the Plasma Beam's area post-Draygon, in comparison.
I've watched a few blind let's plays, and a lot of them just miss it completely. Most people are burned out from Maridia's labyrinthine layout, but to get Spring Ball, you have to go back through the quicksand, break the Grapple block, Space Jump up past the bugs, get past the Shaktool digging part...
Why though? I could understand if it were the X-ray Scope, which IMO it could easily have been switched with.
One other thing: I recently discovered a "hidden technique." Lay a bomb, then Spring jump on the ascent. The Morph Ball will jump in midair. I've never seen it before, and it seems like something that nobody would know about. Already known?
