Topic: Super Metroid Help

Ok, so I hate to admit it... but I'm stuck. And it's a bit too specific for a walkthrough to help me, so here goes: I think I wandered too far ahead... I've had people tell me that's not possible... but if it's not, then what do I do? I'm in Norfair... without the suit that helps me withstand the heat... and without the speed run thing... or the super bomb. I got there by falling down a very long, narrow hole... but I can't get back up it. those red back and forth floaty shelled creatures are in there, and you can't jump on them like platforms (I keep trying because it's the best thing I can think of). I can't just jump straight up it... there's a ledge, but my jump is just short of it, even though I have the high-jump... I can't move forward because of the heat and because of the closing doors I'm not fast enough to run past, and because of orange doors I can't open.

Anybody know if or how I can remedy this?

Use your bombs on every bit of floor, wall and ceiling and good luck.

Haha, somehow that's not terribly comforting. Thanks, though.

You can turn off the space jump in the menu. You need to, to jump on that ledge. I remember being stuck here too.

@Outrunner: really? but how do i get that high without it?

Havn't try Super Metroid yet, ( need more points)
But its as Hard as it sounds, then I mush get it.

Why don't you try youtube, it best way to find out

I have no idea the specific place you're talking about, to me it sounds more like you're stuck on the way to Maridia. Can you take a picture of where you're stuck?

Also, it's Varia Suit, Speed Booster and Power Bombs...

I'm talking about the jump a little further back where the water is. I think you need the ice beam to get up that shaft. I could be talking complete nonsense though. Only played it once, ages ago... :s

@Metroid_Fan: yes, i just checked the map and the long hole with the floaty red things is Maridia. I only knew Norfair's name, and i can get there, too... just can't do much at either place... and i wish i could take a picture, but the only camera i had was on my phone and that's been broken a couple weeks now...

I knew it, well then you can move forward, since there's no super-heated rooms in Maridia. As for getting back up that shaft, you'll need the Ice Beam in order to accomplish it. You can use wall jumping to get to the small ledge, but from there you have to freeze one of the Rippers (the floaty red creatures) and use it as a platform in order to get back up.

Also, I take it you've yet to find the Spazer Beam, too, right? You should be able to find it in the room that's to your right, just aim up as soon as you enter and shoot the destructible block and wall jump up the shaft then shoot out the two blocks blocking the morph ball path (don't use bombs or you'll reveal a hole in the floor that'll dump you over that creature in the water) and roll over to grab the beam...

thanks, i'll give it a whirl. i'll post again if i need more help.
THANKS, GUYS!

got the spazer, varia suit, and speed booster. thanks, Metroid_Fan. and to think i thought i was stuck. just needed some experimenting.

As you were told, it's pretty much impossible to end up stuck in Super Metroid. Especially since there's a few techniques you can use to get you out of jams (like wall/bomb jumps, etc.)...

Glad to hear you're advancing, keep it up, b2d...

I'd love to give my copy of Super Metroid another play-through, but my best friend still has my SNES's AC adapter...
