5bj

Discovered by: Several people

The 5bj is one of the few surviving advanced bomb techniques from the original Metroid Prime that is present in Echoes. It was born initially out of the search for a way to complete the Geothermal room in Metroid Prime without Space Jump. The bomb jump works by using the physics of the Metroid Prime games to "build momentum" with additional bomb explosions.

The best way to describe a 5bj is its a double bomb jump with an extra bomb and different timing to place the second bomb. Here is how its done:

Place the first bomb on the ground.

The instant the first bomb goes off place the second bomb.

Near the height of your jump place the third, then fouth bombs.

Near the height of your jump place the fifth bomb.

You will then fall down as the second bomb goes off, sending you up into the third then fourth bombs as they go off. Basically it makes it into a dbj only you have 2 bombs in the air instead of one. So you get a little bit of an extra push.

Also, like most bomb jumps, the 4bj can be done as a Morphed Bomb Jump and/or a Laddered Bomb Jump.

A variation of the 5bj is the TRHbj which involves different timing for placing the bombs.

It is possible to bomb jump out of the entrance to the spider guardian's room by means of glitchy spiderball tracks. This trick does not have any sequence breaking value as the game crashes once you shoot the entrance door again.

[http://www.metroid2002.com/grenola/spider_escape_divx.avi DivX video (DJ Grenola)]

Once the fight starts, hold the control stick in a position somewhere between left and top-left (the exact position of the control stick seems to be a crucial factor, so experiment). Perform a double bomb jump. Once in a while, you will get stuck at the top of your jump on a glitchy section of track. Keep holding the control stick to maintain your position.

One of two cases will apply now:

i) you are close enough to the top that a single bomb jump will get you there. Just jump out, but it is worth laying some extra bombs as you reach the lip of the entrance tunnel just in case you don't quite have the height and find yourself scrabbling on the edge;

ii) you need more than a single bomb jump to get out. In this case, you will have to resort to the first two or three bombs of the [[TRHbj]] (it has to be a bomb jump that does not require you to land on the ground, as you will fall through the glitched section - the HBJ and its variants are the only jumps that work).

Similarly glitched bomb jumps can be performed up other tracks in this room. It is useless but possible to obtain the missile expansion during the spider guardian fight by draining half his energy, then using a 3BJ to the glitch and three or all four [[TRHbj]] bombs up to the top of the relevant spidertrack. You may then exit the spider guardian fight through the morph ball tunnel by the missile expansion if you wish, and leave the fight arena via the dark beam door without the game crashing. Coming back round and attempting to hit the blue entrance door again, though, will result in a crash.

[http://www.metroid2002.com/grenola/spider_MX_divx.avi DivX video (DJ Grenola)]

It may be possible to return to the fight area via a [[TRHbj]] back into the morph ball tunnel, but this is definitely not easy.

This is about as far as anyone has ever gotten attempting to get to Torvus without fighting Amorbis for the Dark Suit (without using a cheating device such as Action Replay).

TRHbj

2005-05-04T20:37:52Z

Copperandterence:

Discovered by: TRH 

The basics of TRHbj (named by LLCoolDave) resembles [[3bj]] a whole lot. It's a bit faster and you gain more height on the unmorph.

The basics of TRHbj (named by Several people) resembles [[4bj]] a whole lot. It's a extremely fastest and you gain even more height on the unmorph.

To perform the TRHbj you have to start off as the hbj in Prime 1:
Lay a bomb. Then lay a bomb before the first one goes off, so that when you return from the first one the second one goes off before you hit the ground. The fourth bomb comes at the peak from the first bomb, and the third bomb comes a bit before the fourth. After the second bomb you should reach the peak, descend to the third bomb which then goes off along with the fourth bomb. The best time to unmorph is a bit after the last bomb, for the best referance, look at the second video. 
The bomb pattern creates a rythm best explained as "press, press. press-press"

Seeker Missiles before Amorbis/Boost Guardian

''Discovered by: Bartendorsparky, Metronome'd, SuikunRules''

- First, do a [[ghetto jump]] or [[TRHbj]] off of the right side of the half-pipe in Meeting Grounds to get onto the War Wasp hive. From the hive, jump to the tunnel and proceed as usual. You must have enough speed to get over the crumbling blocks. One consistant way i found to do this: roll forward until the camera changes into a side view, then back to the closing door, and finally, hold down to roll quickly, then transistion to right when the camera returns to the side view.

- Once in Hall of the Honored Dead, you must manipulate the spinners to turn. To do this, enter the spinner and lay a bomb. Hold up so you stay inside. Immediately before you lock in place again, press down-left (at different angles). It may also help to press 'r', and maybe 'l'. After countless tries, and with severe luck, the block should turn enough to get locked into the next position. Continue this until all spinners are in place.
