When you fight the flying beetle boss in Zero Mission to get the Super Missiles, if you shot him and defeated him really quickly he won't die. He Will either Dive bomb the hell out of you (Invincible) and does no damage. Or sometimes he will just Fly back and forth as you were fighting him still, but only sap Damage (deals non, invincible) and finally sometime she'll fly to one end of the screen in preparedness to Clear the path to reveal the Super Missiles, but then he never comes back.

Ridley too can become invincible if you Kill him too fast. Omega Metroid in Fusion too....Hm.....

maybe they wanted to make speed runners super angry?
I never noticed on ridley.
I did on IMAGO though.

Name for the Bug Boss?

yep. (how'd you guess?) also, you know how you have to fight that mini-boss right before you get into ridley? that's the "Imago Cocoon".
those things you have to beat after you get the wave beam? "Imago Worms"
PS I know, I know, I'm a geek...

I've had the Imago glitch happen to me a bunch. There was once when it swooped down to destroy the barrier to the Super Missiles, but it got stuck on the wall and just hovered there with little explosions popping up on it all over the place. Never did die, never did blow up the wall, never did unlock the door...never did make me too happy when trying to do a single-segment speedrun.

OH MAN that happened to me too!!! That EXACT situation!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I hate that bug...

"IMAGO AND NOT GIVE YOU YOUR MISSILES LOL"

Very strong urge to draw a comic with that image.

then do it!
I loved the Imago fight- all I had to do was duck into Morph Ball, and viola! Dodged!

I hated him for that reason. He was easy. You had to chase him around to kill him. He always just ran off. Get to close and you take damage, lose him. Get to far, and you can't hit him. Annoying. Thats what he is.

all I did was get behind him, shoot the **** out of his tail, and Viola! PWND!

Same here.

I never noticed that... he was pretty easy. When he swooped down i hit him with some Super Missiles and went into ball mode before he could hit me.
Do you know that if you don't beat the Imago Worm in the first arena then he appears in another, the place with the missile that hidden in the wall and with the flying bugs. It's in Brinstar.

Yeah that glitch happens to me all the time. really pisses me off.

Yeah happened to me too i was like aw man i don't get my Charge beam now..D: then he reapers again and i'm like now die :D and if you don't get him that time either than he's gone for good.

Wrong bug. We're talking the bug that gives you the Super Missiles...

wait huh.:huh:...oh..yeah i was replying to sniperstorm's post
