To help out the mods with all the different topics about different speed tricks, I've made a topic where you can post your speed tricks.  In fact, I have one myself.  This is for %100 speed runs:

1.  As shown here:
http://www.metroid2002.com/0/early_super_crateria_1.php

you are able to obtain a super missile tank early, but this time, you'll need to be at full power.  Go to this area, and run as far left possible from the very tall pillar.  Run towards and begin your speed boost, then when you are near the pillar, duck down and recharge.

2. Now space jump quickly to the top of the pillar, but instead of shinesparking to the left, space jump  twice into the air, and then shinespark right.  If you've done this correctly, you'll get to the platform with the super missile much quicker, but there is even more you can do.

3.  Right as you get the Super Missile, duck down to recharge.  Now run down the slope and shine spark right to start running up the hill but when you hit the ramp quickly duck down and recharge.

4.  Now as fast as you can jump off the platform and hold right.  You'll land on the platform right below the door leading to Chozodia. 

5.  You now have barely any shinespark juice left, so quickly morph into a ball and ball spark left.  You'll get the second missile tank in Crateria as well.

This will save much more time then running through Chozodia to get a boost.  Plus, you'll kill two birds with one stone.  Pretty cool huh?
Thread title: 
Actually on that pillar, you only have to jump once.
One shall stand, one shall ball.
In a 100 % run you usually do Kraid without Power Grip and so get that Super Missile tank afer killing Kraid waiting until after you get Space Jump would be slower I think.
Yeah, thats what I do except i use this method. Its easier for me. Speaking of Kraid w/o PG, after you leave Kraid and head to Norfair, when your in the left "main" shaft in Brinstar, you can save time by jumping, morphing in the air and then going in to the room with the two rippers and the missle tank. That way you dont have to go up to the door and then back down.
I understand that you might not want to be fully powered when getting this Super Missile, but still I figured out how to get the Super Missile and one of the missiles tanks in one speed boost.  It's much quicker than running through Chozodia, don't you think?
Heck, you don't have to be fully powered to do this anyway since you have the Walljump.
Yeah but good luck doin it w/o the high jump.
w/o High jump, you need to walljump up the pillar, jump,morph, lay a bomb, spin-jump,morph, get higher w/ the bomb laid before, unmorph, shinespark right. Fastest and hardest early SM method.

Edit: New 100% Speed trick btw: After you get the one missile tank in the room with the no-Powergrip-plant in Norfair, Spinjump left when falling down and run through the right door. Quickly save your Shinespark there and get up to the door leading to Ice Beam *fast*. Save your Shinespark before that door and jump in the lava in the next room and shinespark through it.
Time saved: omg 5 secods? 8 seconds?? Nothing due to not getting it to work on first try? w00t

I have no idea what part this is...No save point near norfair, and no memory of a plant near the ice missles...can you post a picture of this plant? My video players broken, so dont bother with one just for me.

There's a plant near the beginning of Norfair that doesn't allow you to progress any further if you don't have the Power Grip. Should be easy to find starting from a new game.

the plant is a purple plant that blocks access to the varia suit. It is that exact type of plant. there are no bugs nearby, so it is impossible to pass.
