Unofficial useless glitches/tricks topic (*spoilers*)

I don't know if this is a glitch or not. When you have on x-ray visor when going up the elevator after getting Nova, the visor cancels out about midway up the elevator for no apparent reason. This might happen with other visors too.

hm, now I've gotten the security station glitch a few more times. It has nothing to do with the instant morph; I think all you need to do to do it is to get the door to the containment area open as soon as possible before the guy gets a chance to finish saying "You'll need to pull that lever to enter the containment area".

Interesting. I got the Flag Bridge Cutscene glitch to occur yesterday. I still have no idea how it happened. I didn't lay a bomb down beforehand either. Strange.

EDIT: Another Spot for SA glitch. This is after Helios fight exit.

You can skip blowing up the Phazon Crystals in Creche Transit by using a 2BSJ over them. I think that's already known though.

Also, during the Metroid Hatcher fight in Metroid Creche, you can use a 2BSJ (since you get an instant unmorph when you're not facing it) and Screw Attack to get onto the upper ledge where the door is. The door's locked though.

Clip through Hangar Bay energy shield from opposite side. Useless glitch that might be known.

great... now do that with the Hyper Grapple thing so we can get to Phaaze without Hyper Grapple. :P

Hmm, Screw Attacking at the right time into Omega Ridley's chest (in his last form while he's standing) will cause the game to get really slow and once it forced me into morphball. Really weird.

I've also found a possible spot for Infinate Speed, the game gets you stuck in the air for some odd reason. I can't IS from it, but it might be possible. I'll make a vid of it after I get back from work. =p

Edit: Oh wait, even if IS was gotten from it it'd be useless since there isn't anything in that room.

Something odd happened when I tried to do the Elysia Berserker Lord skip. After getting onto the top section of the bottom half, I jumped up and went partially through the ceiling, but I didn't see the top half of the room. I tried again, and another time, then decided to try to cross through to the other side and try from there. As I jumped through the Theronian transport module, I got stuck and slid back out, so I tried again, and got stuck again. This time, however, I fell down and hit the terminal fall, and I appeared at the top half. I opened the locks, took the module, and tried to leave the room, but as I was doing so, the Berserker Lord came out. It is now stuck halfway inside the energy field, which sucks a lot, because his attacks go through it, and mine do not, including the reflected ball attacks.

Now, I have died to it. When I continued, the module was available, the boost slots still had the icon over them, but when scanned, are no longer active, and walking forward still brought in the Berserker Lord. You can even carry the module out with the BL still in there.

know. I've done them all a bunch of times. After you die, you can call your ship to lift up the piece and it will teleport you past the trigger. There are a bunch of glitches you can do with that, and I'd make a vid if I could, but I can't. :(

Yeah. I missed the part about jumping into the hole, so I thought I was stuck. But now I have something that is currently useless but may be very important eventually.

I was attempting to get on top of the third bomb component in the hopes of finding a secret world. I was doing a bsj off of the top of the morph ball tunnel, and I got one that started with the screw attack being very low, but I barely touched a corner and got a massive ghetto effect that put me much higher without breaking the screw attack. While my attempt failed, I think it may be possible to get a similar ghetto effect in other places (though the angle probably needs to be perfect).

interesting. but Paraxade (made sure I spelled it right this time) already proved that with current knowlage, you can't get into a secret world up there. but nice find about the ghetto effect.

2007-12-02 02:06:21 pm

uNsane: I tried that a bit back, have a few videos of it. AFAIK there's no way to scan the command icon while on top of the bomb component. Although you can see the icon while on top of the bomb component, you can't scan it because you're directly over it, and also the lock on breaks if the component comes between you and the command icon. (apparently m2k2 won't let me link to the videos without embedding them, so the video IDs are zHcdtQdo2jc, dkLuMnQs8tk, and N6kiADHISxQ)

interesting about the ghetto effect, though. You touched the corner of what?

Today I was playing MP3 on Hyper Mode, and fighting against Mogenar. Strange glitch took place. I was shooting to Mogenar, and suddeny, after first destroyed ball, he stopped walking, and attacking. Mogenar was just staying, and staying for a few minutes. I had to reset the game as I couldn't beat him.

Aruki

2007-12-06 05:26:13 am

neat glitch with early ship missiles - after Mogenar, you get a white bar instead of the normal yellow infinite bar. You don't after Helios for some reason, but you do after Omega Ridley. If you deplete the bar, try to use + to exit Hypermode, or let the auto vent kick in (:P), it immediately refills back up to a yellow bar.

however, if you don't deplete it, then you'll be able to see/aim Samus's arm cannon while the game is telling you to press A to unleash the phazon or whatever. You can't actually do anything with it other than aim it, though, so it's useless.

also, for those who were wondering, no, nothing weird happens on Phaaze.

..That was odd.

So, there's this pirate in Transit Tunnel P69. Well, there are two.

One jumps down off the high ledge and attacks with his scythe, the other remains up there to shoot.

For some reason, he does not want to come down.

I tried like hell to get him to drop down so that I could get him to scythe me and take a screenshot for sprite referencing purposes.

He just refused to jump down.

So I jumped up behind him and hit him with a fully charged Nova blast.

He flew off the ledge, but stopped before hitting the ground.

His body stiffened up--arms and legs perfectly straight along with his body, in a military attention stance.

He then slowly hovered back onto the platform like this.

I can't seem to replicate it, but it was really freaking bizarre.

strange glitch on Berserker I ran into while doing a practice run of the Olympus yesterday; he grew his shoulder armor back after the Phazite armor was destroyed.

Cool. If we can find a sw in that room, that means that we'll be able to get it right away and possibly skip the bob etank! That could really screw things up later on.
