''Discovered by Paraxade''

As soon as the fight starts, start charging a hyper shot and walk underneath him (this is so the bat things don't get in the way) and shoot it all at him. This stuns him. Now shoot a fully charged shot at Helios, then take a hit to get more Phazon. Then shoot another fully charged shot, and start charging the next. This is where Helios starts calling the bat things back to him; when the charge shot becomes fully charged, shoot it again to instantly stun. Repeat until dead. This allows you to get a fight where he never uses any of his forms.

(this is on Hypermode, btw - normal/veteran might need to shoot less than two fully charged shots to return him to normal and less than one fully charged shot to stun)

''Discovered by Paraxade''

After entering the [[Skyway Access SW]], use aether jumps to reach the skywalk in Skyway Access. Drop down over the door to Transit Station 1104 and shoot it. Jump off the door then space jump back onto it. After TS1104 is secretized, shoot the door again. Jump off and space jump back on while moving toward TS1104 to enter it. Aether jump to the skywalk again in TS1104 and proceed to the door to TS0203. Secretize the room, then jump on top of it and morph (make sure the map says you are in TS1104). Boost a couple times into TS0203 and unmorph to fall through, then use a morph ball bomb to open the door to TS1104. Reenter TS1104, then go through the door again to get back in the room with the map in the right place.

You may encounter a glitch in TS0205 where the cutscene where the troopers run past Samus doesn't trigger. If this happens, dump the room by going two rooms away and reload it. When you get to the seed, if you don't have the Nova Beam, you can bypass the creatures on the way to Omega Ridley by doing a Screw Attack and landing right in front of them, then going through them during the SA unmorph animation. You cannot, however, kill Omega Ridley without the Nova Beam.

Hazard Shield

2007-09-15T22:53:23Z

Prime Hunter:

'''Discovered by ''Prime Hunter'''''

'''Contributions by ''BlueGlass'', ''kip'', ''Paraxade'''''

By following this process, you can acquire the Nova Beam without having to collect the Hazard Shield at all!

'''Command Courtyard (PH Command)'''

Looking directly at the shield, stand in the bottom right corner and you can barely avoid the rain. Turn to face the terminal and move a fraction of an inch forward directly along the shield, drainig the gate from a safe location.

Just make sure you're as close to the shield as possible when sliding towards the Grapple Voltage terminal, or else YOU WILL take damage from the acid rain.

Video of Trick: (Thanks to ''kip'')

[http://files.filefront.com/command+courtyard+trickavi/;8564473;/fileinfo.html Command Courtyard]

'''Skyway Access (PH Command)'''

There are three times when a cutscene plays out and puts you directly in the line of acid rain when you control Samus again. They can be a challenge if you're not fully prepared.

Upon entering the room for the 1st time, follow BlueGlass's video and stay on the left wall rather than SAing into the room. This appears to be the only way you can survive to the next segment, since SAing into the room seems to immediately kill you once you gain control again.

Always remember to backup as soon as you gain control each of the three times, or else you will get hit by the acid rain. You lose the most damage going from the 2nd battle to the 3rd battle (Both Clawtanks), so it's best to use the crates in the room to restore all of your energy before blasting the 4th Clawtank and proceeding to the 3rd cutscene.

Once all of the enemies are dead, proceed quickly to the morph ball tunnel and hop in.

''Note: By holding down Z when acquiring control of Samus again, it appears you can move out of the acid rain faster than without it, lowering the amount of damage you take after each cutscene. Compare the two vids to see the difference:''

''Hyper vid contains Z strategy, Normal vid does not.''

'''Mine Lift (PH Mines)'''

This one's pretty easy. All you need to do is head directly towards the Spiderball track and you'll do fine. The two spinners that lower the elevator so you can continue onward are covered, so no worrying about acid rain there.

'''Phazon Harvesting (PH Mines)'''

This one may seem nasty, but for the most part it's smooth sailing.

Turn left while on the end of first platform and space jump into a Screw Attack, if you do it right you can either land on the next level under cover, or else end up terminal falling and being put there otherwise. This skips the first two bridges without worrying about the rain.

The third bridge is more of a vertical distance than horizontal. Jump out onto the bridge about 1/2 way up, and then jump and SA to the other side of the room to get under cover. You're going to be taking some minor rain damage from here to the end, but by moving fast enough you can direct yourself across from the final door after jumping up a little bit without much of a loss.

If you SA across and hit directly to the right of where the 4th bridge connects with the final platform where the door is, after terminal falling it will respawn you right there and under cover. Make sure you get enough height to hit right under the edge, or else you will respawn back on the far side of the room where you started the SA from.

Unfortunately, the Harvester CAN still hit you here, so be alert and avoid taking fire while waiting for the door to open. If possible, you can try to quickly stun it if it looks like it's about to fire at you.

'''Main Cavern (PH Mines)'''

Nothing special here. Defeat the pirates in the mine and obtain the Nova Beam!

'''Transit Station Leviathan (PH Command)'''

This is the only other room that you haven't been in with acid rain after collecting the Nova Beam. The rain comes into play after destroying the door leading to the seed. By calling in your ship from a covered area, you will appear directly below it after it lands. Move into the elevator and fly off to Omega Ridley, leaving the Hazard Shield far behind!

(Direct quote from m2k2 forum)

- Start charging your beam
- Walk right up to Ridley
- He'll try to bite you, dodge it and shoot the beam
- Now take a lot of steps back while charging the beam again
- Ridley opens his mouth; shoot the charge beam at it followed by a bunch of normal shots to stun him
(this is on hypermode; dunno if the amount of hits required to stun is any different)

When Ridley does the tail/fire breath spinning attack, Screw Attack straight at him. He will stop the spinning attack, jump up and do the shockwave attack.

An '''Instant Unmorph''' is when there is no unrolling animation when leaving morph ball mode. This is usually caused by an object or wall blocking the screen when the player is unmorphing. This makes the game think the player is on solid ground and lets them act as so. (Jumping, etc.) Not so much a technique on it's own, it is a fundamental part of several techniques such as the [[BSJ|Bomb Space Jump]].

'''Ice Bryyo, Tower''' - First jump into the tunnel from the top of the room (not the one next to the door), then do a [[BSJ|2BSJ]], which is much easier than normal because the camera always gives [[Instant Unmorph]], with one exception. As soon as you unmorph jump back against the wall, then space jump forward and morph. It'll be an instant morph. If it was done right you'll get into where the tank is, but it's tough. You must morph before you hit your head. The reason it's tough is because you start dropping down almost right after hitting C.

Skyway Access SW

2007-09-08T14:45:39Z

Paraxade:

''Discovered by Paraxade''

'''Paraxade's Explanation'''

Definitely the most difficult SW in the game so far. Also, you must be doing this on a file where the Skyway gate has not been opened. First, clear the room of enemies, then on the walls there are a couple snake things or something like that (they're decorative parts of the background and have a slant and appear to have a head or something). Anyway, go to the one closer to you on the right and do a 1BSJ off it. After you jump, move back so you ghetto off the snake, then space jump toward the gate. There's a spot where it dips and to the left of it there's some slidey surface stuff. You need to make the bsj + screw attack near perfectly so that you initiate the screw attack right on the slidey surface, and you'll slide up. Now morph (but be VERY CAREFUL that you don't accidentally fall off after morphing) and boost up where there's a tiny wall. Lay a bomb here, then boost back up and bomb jump over the wall. Unmorph and land in the standard.

This section is designed to let the community know what the sequence breakers are trying to find/need to find next and potential leads on new discoveries. If you have a request or any leads on a potential sequence break, trick, or secret world feel free to post it here. The more people who are looking, the better the chances of us finding things a lot faster.

== Requests ==

===Elysia, Main Docking Bay SW===
Currently we are looking for a Secret World on the main docking bay in Elysia to allow us to get the Spiderball without the Hyperball. If you discover an entrance to a secret world in this area, please post it on the forums asap.

===Early Screw Attack, Bryyo Ice===
By using Secret World #6 (Temple of Bryyo, Bryyo Fire) it is possible to gain access to Bryyo Ice early. It has just been determined that, by using partially charged Hyper Beam shots, you can destory the floors of ice leading to the Screw Attack, allowing us to collect it and get back to the portal. However, as of this time there is no way to exit Bryyo Ice without having the Plasma Beam. If anyone is willing to search for a Secret World in Bryyo Ice and find a way out past the areas in Bryyo Fire requiring the Plasma Beam, it would allow us to collect the Screw Attack and gain access to the Valhalla BEFORE landing on Elysia if the triggers work correctly. If anyone manages to find a way out, please post your discovery on the forums.

== Potential Leads ==

===General===

''Sigfriedxx'' noticed that getting hit by a Reptilicus' whip attack gives tremendous
momentum. Lets see how else we can exploit this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKcwcUTj6Uk Example]

===Bryyo, Hangar Bay SW===

I ([[User:Prime Hunter|Prime Hunter]]) have been playing around with the Hangar Bay in Bryyo trying to get up to the open hangar bay door in order to see if we can jump out of it and into a Secret World, after we acquire the Ship Missile upgrade. So far I've been able to get right next to it using these techniques:
*Ride the elevator up to the second floor
*While pointed across the room towards the wall that has the door in it, do a BSJ and jump up to the roof of the elevator. (You must either have the elevator on the second floor still or else be standing on the small strip of metal that acts as the frame of the elevator in order to perform this.)
*Jump across the platforms leading to the hangar door

As far as I can tell, a normal [[BSJ]] doesn't give enough height to hit the open doorway. A [[BSJ|2BSJ]] looks to be required, but I cannot duplicate this technique myself.

Sigfriedxx has found two locations where the grapple swing is unnecessary. While you will need it later in the game, these will allow you to do many other things first. Lets continue looking for alternative routes to needing the Grapple Swing.
''Fano7'' also noted the corrupted pool Grapple Swing can be skipped by a [[BSJ]].

===Elysia, Transit Hub SW===

''Paraxade'' has found a 2bsj in Transit Hub that leads to a secret world. [http://files.filefront.com/TransitHubTrickmp4/;8596163;/fileinfo.html Video.] Unfortunately, you cannot do anything in there, as you can't reach a skywalk and you cannot get out to a spot where you are outside the map and can aether jump. From on top of the bomb component, you can jump over the invisible wall in the back. You can also screw attack around inside the building.

''Discovered by Paratroopa''

The '''Ghetto Jump'''(named by Kip) uses a physics exploit to gain greater heights than regular space jumping alone. When jumping
press against a wall or barely touch a wall (depends on the situation for the jump) whilst holding Z to lock your view. Before you
are dragged back down pull away from the wall and do a space jump.

'''Notice:''' The '''Ghetto Jump''' in Prime 3 remains essentially the same as the last two games except for one fundamental difference. Objects in Prime 3 that are angled will not allow you to space jump if you are pressing directly against them after the first jump. To negate this simply pull away from the object before doing the second jump.

For Rundas himself, go into Hypermode as soon as possible after the cutscene. Use normal shots on Rundas to stun him (he takes about 7 hypermode shots on Normal). When he is stunned, grapple his shield off and start charging your gun. Dodge his ice shots while unloading your charge shot on him. Charge a 2nd one and follow him around, shooting him. Watch your Phazon level, you should be through the 25s and get into "Vent Phazon out" mode. Rundas will put his shield back on at this point, stun him with normal shots and repeat.

When it's stomach is vulnerable, you can hit it with 6 bombs, instead of 3. To do it, you lay 3 bombs as normal. After they explode, lay 3 more. You have just enough time to get the extra 3 in. But be careful, because the Korakk will start to move as you lay bombs 4-6.

''Discovered by petrie911''

When he gets up from being bombed/shot in the stomach, he usually opens his mouth very soon after, so with quick fingers, you can immediately stun him and start bombing him again.

Dark Samus

2007-09-03T22:23:50Z

Prime Hunter:

''Discovered by Prime Hunter''

By hitting Dark Samus with a Hyper Missile at the following times, she can be stunned for several seconds. Even if you mistime the shot, she will put up the barrier that protects her, which usually cancels whatever she's doing at the time:
* Right after she stops moving
* Right before she starts moving
* As she's about to lower her missile barrier
* During certain ground attacks

Later, when she starts cloning herself, you can turn on the X-Ray visor to see which DS is the real one. The real one is the one that doesn't blend into the background.

When she has a single clone and the two of them start spinning around with the lasers, you can easily avoid them by morphing. You can also attempt to Hyper Ball the two of them by staying inbetween them for some quick damage.

Once she starts spinning around with the two clones and attempts to collide with you, you can avoid this attack by Screw Attacking across the battlefield. As as added bonus, they usually end up spinning right through your Screw Attack and damage themselves in the process several times per crossing. (This can sometimes kill one or both of the clones depending on the timing.)

''Alternate Method: Discovered by Prime Hunter''

During the battle on Normal difficulty, it may be faster to continuously fire the uncharged Hyper Beam at Dark Samus in order to do damage. If you are fast enough, you can drain Dark Samus down to about 1/2 health and skip the cutscene where she first splits in two. By continuing this method of attack, Dark Samus can end up in a constant loop: She splits into three, rushes into the sky to recharge, and as soon as she drops down again, she will head to the center to collect the three and begin the process again. There is a few seconds between her landing and collecting the three versions of herself where you can get in plenty of fire and do significant amounts of damage to her, making it so the that loop has to only occur a few times before the fight is over.

This method of attack appears to work well on Veteran difficulty as well, but at a slower pace and without skipping the cutscene where she splits into two. However, there is also a greater chance that Dark Samus will be able to move into a different attack due to this slower pace, so use the strategies above to deal with them if that happens.

BSJ

2007-09-03T06:20:44Z

Paraxade:

''Discovered by XtraX''

A '''BSJ'''(Bomb Space Jump) is a technique that effectively allows an extra jump worth of height. To perform a BSJ:

1) Move far enough away that the wall you wish to jump off of is out of view in the morph ball camera.

2) Roll backwards towards the wall, and perform a spring jump. '''''(In previous games this was used with bombs hence the name.)'''''

3) Unmorph, and if performed correctly, there will be no unrolling animation. ([[Instant Unmorph]])

4) Proceed as if you were on the ground. All jump techniques that can be performed on the ground can be performed after an [[Instant Unmorph]].

On Normal difficulty, in her normal form, it took off about 1/5 of her lifebar. She then morphed into the swarm of little things, a single SA took her almost to half health. Then when she changed to Ghor, two Screw Attacks to the head sent her into the next phase, and a few more well-timed SAs finished her off.

'''Skip the Energy Tank on Norion'''

''Discovered by Paraxade''

It is possible to skip past the Energy Tank that appears to be in your path. All you have to do is Spring Jump up into the tunnel from a raised portion of the floor to the left of the tunnel entrance, which gives you enough height to land part way into the tunnel and avoid the Energy Tank.

Secret Worlds

2007-09-02T00:44:05Z

Zelsexx:

A '''Secret World''' is Metroid terminology for an out of bounds area in the game that allows the player to access areas before they are meant to be or simply explore. Due to Metroid Prime 3's dedication to limiting sequence breaking it's beginning to look like Secret Worlds will be our main route to sequence break in the first place. Please report any entrances you may find whether deliberate or accidental here or on the forums.

''Discovered by Prime Hunter''

If you're fast enough and close enough to him, when he opens his mouth try to shoot an Ice Missile at him. If it hits before he closes his mouth, he'll be stunned for about 5 seconds with all of his orbs exposed, allowing you the perfect oportunity to blast him.

Fight in 4:00 (Hyper Mode difficulty) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrr9DH7mE2M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrr9DH7mE2M]

"''First and foremost, Hyper mode your way through each orb. It's best if you wait a little for Corruption to set in, or you'll probably find yourself running out of phazon. Otherwise, go nuts, and let mogenar's attacks refill your meter. For the part where you attack his feet, go in and out of Hyper Mode to avoid damage from his feet and shockwaves.''"

'''Skip the Two Energy Cells in Valahalla Aurora Chamber'''

''Discovered by Paraxade''

The two slots in the Aurora Chamber can be skipped by screw attacking the glass blocking the door. The terminal fall will respawn you infront of the door.

Aurora Unit 313

2007-08-31T23:57:37Z

Jerry9:

=== First Form ===

''Discovered by Prime Hunter''

In order to easily avoid the missiles AU shoots at you once it lands, simply continue boosting around the outside of the arena for a few seconds.

If you have good timing, shooting a Hyper Missile in front of a DS Clone in morph ball mode will most likely kill it in one shot.

Appendage by Samus Rox:
You don't need to shoot a hyper missile, just one shot will do it.

=== Second Form ===

''Discovered by PessimistByNature''

If you screw attack the head, it will stun AU 313 in one hit. You must hit its weak point for this to work. It is possible to SA through the head and not hit its weak point.

Speed Tricks

2007-08-18T16:56:38Z

Arkarian: /* Elysia */

== Miscellaneous Tricks ==

== GFS Olympus ==
''Discovered by SkippyJr''

'''Docking Bay 4/Security Station''' You can abort Gohr's security scan. Immediately as the door to Security Station opens, head back towards the previous room so that it gets dumped (the exact spot is about the second bend in the wall, near the door - listen to the Wii DVD drive). Head back and reload the room.

Video by craztad - trick is at around 1:40:
<youtube>__cit9FHucY</youtube>

''Appendage by Samus Rox''

Actually the spot is the first metal bar that sticks out, just past the corner

== Norion ==

== Bryyo ==
''Discovered by zell99''

'''Gateway Hall''' - Coming from your ship the first time through, since Gateway takes awhile to load (5+ secs) shoot the door, and while the room is loading turn around and grapple-pull the statue. You'll need it to climb up on your way back later, but here you wont lose time since you're waiting for the room to load.

'''Bryyo Hangar Bay''' - Small timesaver, in Bryyo Hangar Bay (where you upgrade your ship) To climb up to the console, you can skip grapple-pulling that one ledge out of the wall. After you jumped up the green ledge, you can space-jump directly to the morph-ball platform on the right. The jump is kind of tight but doable. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4-9966K954 Video]

'''Imperial Hall''' - After your first trip, you can morphball through the whole room (it's right by Fiery Airdock) by spring jumping over the pools of fuel gel. Hug the right wall to make your life easier, you can roll along most of the gel and jumps are easy. Spring ball up the ramp after.

''Discovered by Andrew Mills''

'''Gel Refinery Site''' - To go into the next room (Main Lift) you can simply ghetto jump up to the ledge rather than shooting two charge shots into the gel thingy. There is a small railing on the ground toward the left and you can use that to ghetto up to the platform. ''Additional note: you can also simply jump on the ledge between the 2 gel thingies then jump to the door.''

''Discovered by Fano7''

'''Grand Court''' - On your way back from getting the Grapple Swing, you can use two bsj to get back up to the door. The first bsj avoids going up and around to use the grapple swing. The 2nd one avoids grapple pulling 2 panels out and using the morph ball tunnel.

[http://files.filefront.com/Grand+Court+Speed+Trickmp4/;8572599;/fileinfo.html Video of 2nd bsj to skip morphball tunnel]

''Discovered by Paraxade''

'''Gateway''' - You can skip half the puzzle in this room. Get on the platform with the yellow morphball tunnel, do a bsj to get up to the platform above.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT8T21Sw0X0 Video]

'''Generator Hall North''' - Use a ghetto jump to get to the 2nd turret backwards. It can also be done using a bsj. Note: after doing this generator, you cannot cross directly to the 1st generator; triggering the battle will lock you in the room. You can, however, go back if you trigger the fight before destroying the cannon.

[http://files.filefront.com/Generator+Hall+North+Ghetpmp4/;8572596;/fileinfo.html Ghetto jump video]

[http://files.filefront.com/North+Jungle+Court+Backwasmp4/;8572626;/fileinfo.html Locked into the room video]

'''Hangar Bay''' - You can use a 2BSJ to skip the elevator. [http://files.filefront.com/HangarBaySpeedTrickmp4/;8577154;/fileinfo.html Video]

'''Grand Court''' - During the Reptilicus Hunter fight, use the bsjs to get to the door out of the room. Proceed to dump the room, then reload it. You will be able to go on and get Grapple Swing without killing the Reptilicus Hunters.

''Discovered by Sigfriedxx''

'''Ruined Shrine''' - You can skip all of the grapple swings by using a series of [[BSJ]]s:<youtube>S6QQU5ozAF4</youtube>

''Discovered by Arkarian''

'''Gateway''' (after Screw Attack) : When traveling from Gateway Hall, into Gateway, then into Crash Site, once you Screw Attack from the entrance platform onto the left platform near the Crash Site entrance, you can then SJ, SA once, and land on the ledge. This saves just a wee bit of time; I think it's faster than walking to the shorter portion of the ledge and doing a normal SJ. Probably only useful for 100%.

''Discovered by El Padrino''

'''Jungle Generator'''
It is possible to bomb the generator on Thorn Jungle without having to destroy the first turret, just go to the second one via BSJ in Generator Hall North, then destroy the second turret (without triggering the cutscene there or else you'll be stuck and have to restart) and coming back to Jungle Generator, sometimes the "Bomb" icon won't appear when enter, just go through any door (you don't have to dump the room) and come back, the icon should be there now.

== Elysia ==
''Discovered by Samus Rox''

'''Turbine Chamber:'''
When you first go through, [[BSJ]] or [[Ghetto Jump]] from the doorway onto the platform shown, then [[Ghetto Jump]] on the "hut" and fall off, you will respawn on the top of Turbine Chamber, Make the gunship grapple it and away you do.
Video, with BSJ:
<youtube>136S0j0aDT4</youtube>

''Discovered by Fano7''

'''Maintenance Shaft CC''' : Instead of going into the morph ball tunnel, you can screw attack through. It doesn't look like you can, but you are able to. You need to space jump as far as you can and delay the screw attack until you are under (height wise) the piece of equipment. Then, angle yourself to the other platform. Kind of hard to explain. In other words, there is no need for the green ledge and the morph ball tunnel.

''Discovered by Paraxade''

'''Hoverplat Docking Site''' : Space your screw attacks to skip a few platforms.[http://files.filefront.com/Hoverplat+Docking+Site+kmp4/;8572605;/fileinfo.html Video]

'''Powerworks''' : Small trick to skip part of the spider track.[http://files.filefront.com/Powerworks+Speed+Trickmp4/;8572633;/fileinfo.html Video]

''Discovered by Andrew Mills''

'''Construction Bay''' : You can skip dropping the first gate. Drop the last two, then Space Jump over to the middle grapple point and continue normally from there.

[http://www.supermetroid.co.uk/mp3_findings/mp3_skytown_speed_tip.avi Video]

''Discovered by DJGrenola''

'''Powerworks''' : Let go off the spiderball to speed up the 2nd half of the long spidertrack / bridge.

[http://www.ali1548.ukshells.co.uk/vids/prime3/lolgravity_enc.avi Video]

''Discovered by Arkarian''

'''Maintenance Shaft AU''' : After getting the Screw Attack, you can skip the Grab Ledge and its animation altogether by SAing to the ledge. Can also be done off the crate on the right: this way you can SA multiple times over both ledges and right to the door.

== GFS Valhalla ==
''Discovered by Zelse''

'''Repair Bay''' : Immediately after entering the room from the main door look to the right and there should be a supply crate. You can use this to make it to the second floor without having to go to the left, through the electricity and up the ramp.

''Discovered by Paraxade''

'''Repair Bay''' : After doing Zelse's trick, do a 1BSJ followed by a screw attack initialization to get on the top floor. [http://files.filefront.com/Repair+Bay+Speed+Trickmp4/;8581592;/fileinfo.html Video

''Discovered by Arkarian''

'''Aurora Chamber''' : A faster way to traverse the room during either the Energy Cell skips or a 100% run. Upon entering the chamber, immediately turn right and Screw Attack toward the elevator platform. You will be able to land on the platform, but once you crash and fall into the abyss you will respawn on the large platform before it. Then you can turn and perform Paraxade's Energy Cell skip ([http://www.metroid2002.com/prime3/index.php/Energy_Cells Video]) SA from this platform instead.

== Pirate Homeworld ==
''Discovered by SkippyJr''

'''Metroid Processing''' - Skip the panel repair (and slow ride) by using a [[BSJ]]+SA to the upper level. You can also use a ghetto + SA off of the tank.

''Discovered by Paraxade''

'''Scrapvault''' - Use a [[BSJ]] on the left wall when you enter the room to get up to the platform faster.[http://files.filefront.com/Scrapvault+Speed+Trickmp4/;8572667;/fileinfo.html Video]

'''Command Courtyard''' - You can get the energy cell without going through the morphball tunnel. Use a [[BSJ|2BSJ]] followed by a screw attack. Check video for placement.[http://files.filefront.com/Command+Courtyard+Speedkmp4/;8570955;/fileinfo.html Video]

== Phaaze ==

''Discovered by Rekameohs''

'''Phaaze''' - You can avoid the monster that sucks your morph ball form in after the fall by holding up on the analog stick.
