![]() This was a breath of fresh air as it was something I could actually do. ![]() It just sounds faster, and this trick is fast. The next trick I tried was the machball, or “mockball” as some people call it, but I like mach better. Even if I got it once, I’m not sure I’d be able to replicate it 50 minutes into a speedrun. It might be possible if I try 1000 more times, but I just wasn’t having fun at this point and looked for better ways to improve my time. I just couldn’t find a site or video that described the process clearly. ![]() Since I never got it to work, I’m obviously missing a step here. Then while taking damage you can use an invincibility frame to nudge through the wall, breaking it and also breaking every barrier in the room. The idea is to freeze this Rinka, take damage, space jump onto it, then when you “stand” on it, you’re actually standing a pixel to the left because it centers you on the enemy. I managed to get Samus’s head stuck in the roof but it happened too quickly for me to take a screenshot. I spent about 4-5 hours trying to glitch through this barrier, like so many speedrunners effortlessly do, but no dice. It turns out that no, I can’t do the Zebetite Skip. How do you shortcharge? What other items can I skip? Are there better ways to fight the bosses? Can I do the Zebetite Skip? My main motivation came when I realised there was still a lot about the game I didn’t know. My current best time was 1 hour 19 minutes, and on 3DS I managed to get 1 hour 27 minutes on a refresher course through the game. This is due to Samus’s movement being more complex, and a lot of open environments that don’t stop you from doing crazy things. A lot of tricks and skips in this game are very difficult and non-traditional. With Super Metroid I had done what “felt” like a speedrun, but it’s a different kind of speedrun to Zero Mission. I’ve already done this with Metroid: Zero Mission and had a great time finding the fastest route. I’ve been getting into Super Metroid more after the 3DS release and set myself a personal goal of beating the game in under an hour.
