spider ball passage finder.

spider ball!!!!

I have to say the Screw Attack.

The Screw attack!! But Spider ball's also nice.

It was perfected in Prime.

Indeed, the controls of the spider ball in metroid2's little messed up.

My is the Screw Attack.

spider ball is better! c'mon climing walls!!!

Okay spider ball is cool

Screw attack looks, and sounds, wierd. But it's cool anyway.

danadanadanadanadanadanadanadana spider ball! spider ball!

You could deflect Metroids with Screw Attack, part of what made it neat.

For weapons, I always went with Spazer so I would stand a better chance at hitting something than the Plasma Beam. While Plasma Beam is pretty powerful, it's firing arc was rather limited.

BUMP...

True that, Kuro-Chan, but, in the end, the Ice Beam is the real necessity. Only the first three games have such a dependability on that beam. After them, you need them all in order to get to the end of the game. What's up with that?

Why can't Nintendo (and Sega) go back to their roots?!?!?!?

Game design. It makes you go through all the essentials.

I think for Super Metroid, you do not actually need Plasma Beam, Charge Beam or Spazer... If you really want to push your luck, you might not even need Ice Beam if you are VERY good with wall climbing and know the alternate method of beating Metroids.

The Ice Beam is absolutely necessary for beating the final Metroids... odd that there was an Ice Beam available so close to the Queen's Lair... coincedence?

Um, because they knew that players would get too frustrated trying to beat the Tallon Metroids, realize that they needed the Ice Beam, and then die trying to go back to find the nearest one (by the Armory Ruins). So they added the statue nearby to remedy that.

Man. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't've been able to find the upgrades without that map I found online...

Well, I was thinking more of a logic perspective than a player's perspective. Would you want you one critical weakness sitting outside your base of operations?

You needed a map?! ... Dang, what the internet can do for you these days...

Are you saying you DIDN'T use a map, Kuro-Chan?

I was 12 when I was playing it... 16 years ago. Maps were not exactly common source back then, so it was up to some genuine exploration to figure out where everything was.

Insider info...

And I voted for the Screw Attack... just 'cuz.

It was always more fun to have to hunt the items and where you were supposed to go. it made the game more challenging

A lot of people these days don't want challenge. They want to beat it so they have something to brag about.

Yeah, this is almost 2 months old, but this place needs some posts.

I voted the Screw Attack. It has always looked rather cool, no matter what game it appears in.

I think M2's Screw Attack was pretty lame. Still, it's the best in the game.

Lol. It was just a normal spin jump Samus with flashing lights wasn't it?

In M1, the Screw Attack was Samus jumping through the air in alternating colors

In M2, they could not do that, so they finally added some real graphics to Samus to actually show she was Screw Attack-ing through the air. There is a difference in sprites between Space Jump and Screw Attack. If you manage to get Screw Attack before Space Jump. (I did one... NOT easy and very costly in health) you still get the Screw Attack sprites, just not be able to perform multiple jumps.

Freaky. Screw Attack without the Space Jump is like....Metroid without metroids...wait...they did that...

Well, as it stands, games without Screw Attack include:

- Metroid Prime
- Metroid Prime Hunter


Metroid Prime had metroids in them :)

Actually, pinball had the Screw Attack. When you do the wall jump thing, you use the Screw Attack to kill the Puffers.

You're right. The above post has been edited. I stand corrected.

Yea! I was right about something!

Err... Yes you were. Screw Attack you. :lol:

Heh... Metroid 2 was such a drastic evolution for the Metroid series even though it is so often overlooked... Oh well.

Ice beam person.
I love to freeze things then jump up and down on them going "hahahahahaha"


hmm whenever I say person it says person
curious, most forums just censor the word person.
I can have such fun with this.

Sorry metroid 2 is the only one i haven't played :(

And what is so funny about the word person? :huh:

because person is teh censor word for b*tch and I find the choice of word to censor the bad word humerous.

Ah, i could have fun with that too :D

Spider Ball is best for me.

Spazer Beam, it really needs to be in more metroid games.

spazer beam also, it's awesome. although, spiderball is cool too; described as gooey, not some magnetic ball.
EDIT: I didn't notice... don't post in almost year old topics, kay shadow metroid?

Unless it's still a valid topic...
