Early Power Bomb Expansion

2004-12-22T16:58:37Z

Zell99:

''Discovered by: Zell(concept), Sparky(triggers needed/path), Kip(accomplishing with early screw)''

Requirements: [[Early Screw Attack]] and Spiderball.

1) Get both the Spiderball and [[Early Screw Attack]].

2) Now go to Sanctuary entrance(where Dark Samus destroys the bridge).

3) Jump on the crate to your right when facing away from sanctuary.

4) Now jump on the pole to your left when facing away from sanctuary.

5) Screw attack to the platform below the turret.

6) Jump up into the Spiderball glass ring below the turret.

7) Screw attack back towards sanctuary and into the glass room with the scan pole(this is the room you would normally access by breaking the glass with a powerbomb).

8) Scan the pole, jump onto it, then jump out of the glass room.

9) Use the morph ball cannon to shoot back up and reach the turret to the right of the bridge.

10) Now proceed as you normally would: destroy the rock wall above sanctuary and above the door on the other side, and the debris to the right of sanctuary's entrance. Then Drop down, spider up to the top of Sanctuary, and screw attack or morph ball cannon across to get the expansion.

''Another way to get early PB without Spider Ball discovered by Frozen Mr. Toastbrot''

Requirements: [[Early Screw Attack]]

1) Activate the turret as described above (Step 1-8).

2) Get to the Spiderball glass ring again.

3) Turn around to see the metal tower of the bridge and jump onto one of the "arms" of the tower.

4) Look at the floating platform with the turret again and Screw Attack over to it.

5) Once on the upper part of the platform use the turret to destroy the stone in front of the PB Expansion.

6) Screw Attack to the slightly slanted part behind the blue cylinder above the Spider Ball track.

7) Space Jump around the cylinder and start a Screw Attack to the red edge above the door to Power Junction. Delay each jump of the Screw Attack as long as possible, to get the distance needed to reach the red edge.

8) Screw Attack over to the PB Expansion as usual.

- Video Needed

----

Important notes (for both methods):

- Getting the PB expansion only gives you 1 power bomb

- You still must defeat the PB guardian and obtain the main PB expansion later on for the sky temple key in Dark Agon: Dark Oasis to appear. This trick is still handy for getting PB's early and avoid backtracking until sky temple key collection.

''I thought this would work, but it currently doesnt, Maybe you can use it for ideas...'' :::Who is the author of this?:::

''Note by zell99: That was my original idea of which you can get a video [http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/mp2/zell_mp2_earlypb.WMV here] but Red Scarlet confirmed that the pole needed to be scanned and nobody found a way over the glass except with early screw.''

Requirements: '''Spider Ball'''

I thought I found a way to get the PB expansion w/o the screw attack and only the spider ball. Only one thing hindered this process. i still need to scan the module inside of the place that you blow up /w the power bomb. In the other ways you use the screw attack to do that. But what I did was after Dark Samus destroys the bridge, you have to

1) This is the part I havnt figured out... of course its the most important part too. you have to find a way inside of the glass cage and scan the pole. If you want to take up this task, (I highly doubt it) than you can try to do it w/o the screw attack. Im not too good with [[ghetto jump]]s and scan dashes, so you may want to try those.

2) After scanning the cage, proceed the way you normally would to get to the transport chamber. (spiderballing up the track)

3) After you boost to the other side dont bomb jump up. roll back slightly until you are over the lip in the track. Keep holding R while pressing X to get up from the Spider Ball.

4) If you are moving back in small enough increments, eventually if you are going slow enough, you will stand up, and not fall back.

5) Space jump over to the lower platform, and then spider ball up to the cannon.

6) While writing this I just realized that in order to activate the cannon, you have to scan the pole. While doing this it conveniantly activates the orb cannon, bringing you right to the big cannon. I completely overlooked this. But I am going to leave it up because it might help you in some of your other sequence breaking things. If it serves no purpose, just delete it.

Maybe you can get across using a kip dash similar to [[Early Screw Attack]] to get over in the cage (by Going into the
Abyss beside it.)

Spider Guardian

kip for his video (that's where I got the screenshots)

Ryu for the application (allowed me to get screenshots of a video)

PART I:

The first part is pretty easy. Simply bomb the Spider Guardian twice so he turns green, then get to the right side and do a DBJ where the red dots are. That way, you'll reach the bomb slot (yellowish dots) faster than going all the way around to the left.

[[Image:http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/mp2/zell_sg_1.jpg]]

PART II:

The easiest way I found to defeat this part is to get on the ledge on the right side and drop down (red dots) laying bombs when the SG is coming towards you. Do that twice and, when he turns green, just boost to the left side, get on the platform and bomb the slot (yellow dots).

[[Image:http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/mp2/zell_sg_2.jpg]]

PART III:

This part is really easy if you know what to do. Simply boost on the top part from the left. Drop down the opening and land on the block where the red dots are. When you hug the right wall, SG's shield won't hurt you. You just have to get near the left ledge and lay bombs when he comes by to hurt him. Before he goes away, bomb him a second time to get him green. Then simply fall left on the platform that appeared and bomb the slot (yellow dots).

[[Image:http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/mp2/zell_sg_3.jpg]]

PART IV:

No special strategy here. I bomb the slots from bottom to top but it doesn't really matter. If you need more time just get back down and bomb the spider guardian again.
