Quote from Metroid Jelly:
The room where everything is purple,and there's about 6 Maridia Metroids,and one red bouncy-worm. And you will have to run with speed booster on the bottom of the room to get to Botwoon's room.


Then as I said, "Mochtroid Glitch".  That's not a secret.

Freeze a Mochtroid, jump on it, duck, then jump through the ceiling.

It's the same thing as what I did to get the Spring Ball without the Grappling Beam: http://www.metroid2002.com/3/speed_tricks_spring_ball_without_grapple_beam.php

Yeah, I knew that, I do that too, but the thing is I didn't know those were called Mochtroids.

Well, those blobs aren't, but the fake Metroids in Maridia are called Mochtroids, and the glitch used in that was first found using a Mochtroid in the room before Botwoon, hence it being called the 'Mochtroid Glitch'.

I kinda figured the Metroids were called Mochtroids, I'm not stupid.

Very well, I wont need to do it, since I'd rather pick up the speedbooster than the icebeam when playing low%, but usually I fetch both.

Well, you said you didn't know they were called Mochtroids..I wasn't calling you stupid.  Was just clarifying why that's called the "Mochtroid Glitch" and not 'orange blob thingies glitch'.  :o

What I meant was that I could figure out that it was the metroids that were called mochtroids and not the 'orange blob thingies', well, since it really doesn't matter, and you only wanted to do good and help out, I guess I'm the bad guy.

Well, I'm sorry, apologies(?).

What is the highest % you can get using the S/T Beam without the SNES exploding?

Edit: It looks more than a little odd when you try to use the Space-Time Beam from the escape shaft side of the PB door. You somehow float through the ceiling then left through a door which isn't there and appear in the first energy tank room (or rather, not appear). It's also really slow. There are probably many, many other odd things that happen if you use the S/T beam in the wrong places.

Likely 255, and it likely wouldn't explode, but rather either cap at 255 or wrap back to 0.

It could be 127 as well, wrapping to negative, if it was a signed number. Usually signed is the default, but depending on the language and programmer, they might be inclined to declare it as unsigned anyway (on modern, high-level language terms).

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder
Something around 40,000%. Quick rundown:
Standard equipment:
5 beams (hyper doesn't add)
2 suits
4 misc.
3 boots
2 (Grapple and X-ray)
Total of 16. I probably missed a few, but it won't make much difference.

326 energy tanks (any more and you die)
655 reserve tanks (656 might be possible, I don't remember if the game will round up)
13107 missiles
13107 super missiles
13107 power bombs (but you must be careful not to have too many at once, or else they won't work any more)
Total of 40318%. Doubt anyone would spend the time to get all that, though.

Do you have any idea why too many items crash the game? Is it just insufficient memory to hold them all, or is it something different.

I know that's 32767 health (rounded down to nearest safe), 65535 reserve (rounded down), and 65535 everything else, but are the limits just because there are 15 bits allocated for health and 16 for everything else and if it overflows it resets to 0 or is there some hidden principle behind this?

Then there's no known way to get to Draygon without either the Speed Booster or Ice Beam, and also no Space/Time Beam without the Ice Beam.

I call your bluff.  Talking about doing something and saying "it's my secret" when it goes against what is known starts looking suspicious.

Since you've apparently found something new, why not actually be helpful to the community instead of going on your "I'm a badass" tangent?

Actually, I found a way about a year ago to skip Botwoon entirely.
It requires the Murder Beam. >_< Stupid catch-22.

Your health is treated as a signed integer. Meaning if you go above 32767, it suddenly becomes negative. Goto Samus.Die();
I don't really know what's going on with the power bombs. The game decides whether or not to deduct your power bombs by one somehow, but I don't have a clue what it does. It works fine up to 32767, but from then on it will work for most numbers, but not all. (e.g., it won't work for 32795, but it works for 32796-32800). Then I guess some other part of the game is reading it as signed, which determines whether or not a power bomb is laid (and this is checked *after* deducting your power bomb total by one).
On a side note, there aren't really signs on the SNES. The game can read a number as signed or not signed, one byte or two, regardless of how it was created; it's up to the routine that looks at it to determine what it is.

But you still need the Ice Beam for the Murder Beam to go, so that still doesn't help with what Metroid Jelly is boasting about.

I actually thought that when the integers are declared for the health and reserve, they cut off at what the memory will allow.  If you'll notice in things like Tony Hawks Pro Skater on Gameboy Advance, all scoring will end at 65325 reguardless.  That's the highest any integer will allow, and I'm sure it holds true for that game, except it should never happen without some sort of glitch.
