Vincent Core:

''Discovered by: Vincent Core''

As we all know, when you hold R, Samus puts her left hand on the cannon to aim. Also, if you switch beams while her hand is on the cannon, she will remove her hand until the cannon finishes switching beams. However, if you let go of R during the animation, Samus won't put her hand back and every time after that you switch beams, Samus' hand will move close to her cannon, but then move back away, making it look as if she is performing a karate chop of some sort!

To fix the glitch, simply hold R so that Samus' hand touches the cannon.

Fear teh Kung Fu Samus!
----
If you hold R longer in-between the animation, ((not sure exactly how long, but up to the point the animation stops, or slightly before)) ''then'' release R, Samus will put her hand on the arm cannon and leave it there.

Note that this is a very picky one - if you L-lock anything or even tap R to the point it's registered as a button-press, it'll undo. But it's interesting to see Samus holding her cannon steady as you move forward, backward, and all over the place. [[User:Kenjoki Ikari|Kenjoki]] 15:20, 15 Feb 2005 (CST)

Phlogus Glitch

2005-02-05T23:28:22Z

Vincent Core:

Found in Torvus Bog, the Spore Spawn clone known as Phlogus and its Dark World counterpart, Dark Phlogus have a funny, yet useless glitch. As per its normal actions, Phlogus will open its mouth, wait a second to give you a chance to shoot it before closing its mouth and expelling some sort of gas in all directions. If shot while its mouth is open, Phlogus will flip over and become a platform, no longer harmful to Samus (Dark Phlogus will also make a safe sone). However, if you shoot it in the fraction of a second during which Phlogus is closing its mouth (I believe it does some sort of spinning motion right before), but hasn't quite finished yet. The result will be that Phlogus will flip over (and Dark Phlogus will make a safe zone) but will still hurt if you jump onto the platform area. Also, unlike normally, you won't get that knockback effect from being hurt, you will stand on Phlogus while constantly sustaining damage. Useless, I know, but it's still fun to laugh at Retro's inability to keep small errors from appearing.

Watch Station Weirdness

2005-02-01T19:42:47Z

Vincent Core:

Discovered by LeCoureur103

USBCD36: [http://www.metroid2002.com/usbcd36/Vids/Diagonal%20Visor%20Glitch.mp4 MPEG-4 Vid]

Here is some weirdness I found while messing around in Watch Station.

First hop into the morph ball cannon and fire over to the spider tracks. Drop down, spider to the right, and bomb jump up; you're now attached to where you might do a backwards mid-air morph into the bomb slot.

Now, do a double bomb jump while holding up on the control stick, releasing R while doing so. You should blast up and over the spider track, coming to land by the portal. While falling, try unmorphing like crazy. One of three things may happen:

1. Nothing >_>

2. Once you've landed, you will be unable to unmorph, completely stuck in morph ball form. All upgrades that you've collected still work, but pressing the unmorph button simply yields the buzz sound that occurs when you can't unmorph (or fire a missile or several other things). If you roll into the void, you'll respawn unmorphed and everything will be back to normal. I believe the cause of this glitch is that you move from a "no unmorphing" zone (the spider ball tracks) to a "morphing" zone, but somehow bypass the trigger that says you've left the "no unmorphing" zone.

3. You will unmorph, but the camera will be stuck sideways after unmorphing. As in, the sky will be to your left and the ground will be to your right. A terminal fall will fix this problem. This sideways camera glitch is likely producable in other areas/circumstances, but it happened for me twice here so maybe you'll have some luck too :p

From Snytbaggen: It also works by falling down the "tube" in the room, that's how I made it.

----

From Mikaa:(better explanation)

Where - Watch Station (Sanctuary Fortress) Starting Point - Ammo Expansion Chamber at the Watch Station

Leave via the tube that would deposit you in front of the Portal leading to the dark world.
Just before you leave, continually hit the button to de-morph.
If you did it right, you should have the screen shift immediately from morph ball to normal.
Morph back IMMEDIATELY.
If you see yourself in ball mode in part of the tunnel, hit the morph ball button one time. If not, restart.
If done right, the screen should be at an odd angle.
Can be undone by going back to morph ball mode.
Uses for Glitch - Nada that I know of, given that it can be reset.

Could we get a better help thingy? That link is just an overload of information... -Yoshi

could type up a 'crash course in wiki editing' i suppose. unfortunately, i'm uploading sparky's run in class today, and that probably means the ibook won't even be able to accept typing fast enough to avoid driving me insane ... so yeah. if you want to add some stuff to the main page, be my guest. :)

Would touching up on the pages be necessary? I have no idea how long this will last, so should we bother trying to clean up pages?

== Main Page Style ==

Sorry, but I think MY centering and <dev>ing style is alot better that this actual one. Laney

Okay, whatever. I thought the original was best. -MMcLean54

i think the page should be like black and red like the other ones-SAL

It doesn't look like you can have any background color other than white with Wiki. Or maybe it's just that not anyone is allowed to change it. -Vincent Core

Talk:The useless portal to dark world

2005-01-27T20:41:35Z

Vincent Core:

.SamusAranLuverNOTE: the portal probly dosen't active because it wont let you go th the sky temple entrance early but its there for when you escape there is some sence but still the should make a shiled around it or something so it dosent make retro look cheap.

^^^Try to post this type of thing in the discussion section ;) 
<vanishes>

Vincent Core: If you scan the portal, it will tell you that it will not allow you to enter it because it is unstable. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense because you use it without any trouble at the end, but it's a plot boulder, it isn't supposed to make sense.

Hey Who Needs Spacejump when you got bombs!

Just Triple Bomb jump and jump like normal hey i know what your thinking not fast enough eh? ah well....

.WARNING: THIS IS THE MOST USLESS TRICK YOU CAN USE ON A SPEED RUN !!!!! USE ONLY IF TIME DOSE NOT COUNT!
----
Assuming it's possible to use Bomb Jumps instead of Space jumping throughout the entire game, there would still be no way to use the Screw Attack. I suggest you should actually ''try'' these things before you simply add them, SAL. --Vincent Core

SAL:Well Thats kind of obvious 
Vincent Core: Then, it should be obvious that Space Jump cannot be skipped. It is completely pointless to have this page called "possible skipped item" when it is completely impossible to skip Space Jump.

Shoot Tallon IV

2005-01-22T20:58:12Z

Vincent Core:

''Discovered by:SamusAranLuver''

You can Shoot at tallon five but not distroy it ....pity
Note u can see your attacks hit the planet like if it was a solid surface best eg. using missiles or super missiles

''Added by: Vincent Core''

If you have the second player in the game look at the other player shooting from another angle, you can plainly see that you ''aren't'' hitting Tallon IV but an invisible wall that sits between you and the planet. Also, is the fact that if you shoot anything outside of the area where there is nothing but empty space, you still hit that same wall. Furthermore, is the fact that the planet must be extremely far away and Samus' arm cannon was not designed for and therefore cannot reach a planet from a Space Station which orbits it.

Discovered by

Countless People

In levels with grapple hooks (Shooting Gallery and Sidehopper Station), you can reach the grapple hook (and therefore the upper level) by standing under them a little to the front/back, looking up, double jumping. This puts you just within grapple's reach, and is good for nabbing the super missiles that are under some of the grapple hooks or quickly sneaking to the upper level.

Ummeiko (I can't really take credit since it's in the Players guide)

If you lay a morph ball bomb under an opponent, it will detonate immediately, instead of the normal delay that you have when laying a bomb.

Addition by

Vincent Core

No matter where you drop a Morph Ball Bomb, it will immediately explode if someone touches it. Thus, dropping Morph Ball Bombs behind oneself while fleeing will not require timing to have the bombs explode at the right time, they will explode when someone touches them.
