Metroid: Zero Mission Full Walkthrough (100% Completion w/ Items Timestamped)

[@jonruth3447]

I love this. Metroid is all about exploring. The time stamps you made let me play the game, and find what I need when I have to. This is the best way to get help with metroid, without following a guide step by step. (Which isn't fun).

Its an ability that is introduced in previous metroid games as a special ability (that you have to earn through a boss fight or something) and they decided to include it in zero mission as well. Most people don't know about it and it is pretty stupid that it isn't mentioned in the game itself...

[@juanpablopappaterra8911]

1:51:20 you maintain the shine spark alive while you move through different platforms and also morph ball to keep it alive until the next room to obtain an energy tank. Once you shine spark and perform the thrust (press A + any direction while shine spark) how do you stop it in order to keep jumping to the next platform and take the shine spark into the next room to get the energy tank. I've tried pressing A to stop it but it does nothing. It only stops until it hits a wall. Please thank you.

[@python3219]

You need to press down/crouch to store the speed energy. If you noticed, there were slopes. This will make samus start running again in which you can now press down/crouch store the speed energy. You can only store the speed energery when samus is running, not flying.

I don't know if you got through it since it was multiple days ago you posted this, but if you hold down while charging then you'll keep it.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Once you break the first wall and hit the slope, it starts acting like the ball is sprinting, if you press down to charge shine spark again you can then move back to the dip, and fire the shine spark again to continue to the super missile. My potato brain can't handle the inputs at full speed so I had to use a Emulator with slow motion mode just to figure it out, insanely impressive that people could figure that out at full speed

[@DarknessXxMaster]

I think while I was watching that part I was able to analyze it really good. So, After gaining enough speed from the speed Booster, quickly press down to hold the speed you gained and keep your momentum. Samus should be in glowing state while in her ducking animation as well as her morph ball mode. Quickly jump in morph ball mode and press in the direction you want to go. For the 2nd shine spark, Quickly jump again and press in the direction you want to go. I believe according to what I saw, This can be done repeatedly if timed right. 1st: Speed Boost, Then Morph Ball Mode. 2nd: Jump, Press a Direction. (Just going by what I saw. TL;DR: Manual Boost Ball)
