Tips for this

• With Samus, you can get to any height by bomb jumping. To bomb jump, lay a bomb, then lay another right before the first one explodes.
  • You can bomb jump diagonally, if you move slightly to the left or right while bombing.
  • You can "spider ball" on ceilings by bomb jumping horizontally; mastering this can be tricky.
  • If you hit an invisible block while bomb jumping, it will not be triggered until your bomb hits it.
  • You can unmorph in the middle of a bomb jump and shoot stuff; mastering this can be tricky.
  • Set a bomb immediately when descending from peak of jump, then jump again for extra height.
  • You can bomb jump from left to right to left to right (or vice versa) and so forth.
• Don't try to use the Screw Attack on grounded enemies, it will cancel before you hit them.
• On amphibious Cheep Cheep levels, continuously move and shoot up. This will prevent most Cheep Cheeps from hitting you on their way down.
• Choose wisely which beam you want to use: Wave Beam or Freeze Beam?
  • The Wave Beam allows Samus to do maximum damage and its wave motion is effective against swarms of enemies.
  • The Freeze Beam is not as powerful as the Wave Beam, but is used to strategically get way through levels by changing enemies into platforms.

Original Game

• Samus Aran is from Metroid for the NES.
