You can do this too. They actually put this message in the game

I am at peace knowing there are some things in life I will never experience. And this is one of them.

I like to do crazy ass shit like this in video games sometimes lol

Entering a room and seeing small diagonal ramps instead of sharp ledges so you know for a fact the next 20 minutes are going to SUCK

Imagine doing this on an original Gameboy advance with no backlight

There's no fucking way this is real. I refuse. I swear to God this is fake, but I can't prove it! Dammit, I have to do it for myself, don't I?

Yep. It's real and it wasnt discovered until years after the games release

I feel like it's a massive hoax that everyone just says it's correct. I bet it's real, but it has that feeling of it being a playground rumour and I love it. I just finished a 2 hour and 11 minute 100% run, so I might try it for myself.

@InVaines It's real and there's 2 ways in the US version to do it

@InVaines So I have learned via Phobia.

lol i read it as Bruh at first instead of Bah.

they should have locked a missile expansion behind it

Ayyye shoutout to retro achievements. Nicely done

Just how cracked were Nintendo’s playtesters/QA such that they felt motivated to put this in?

That's how you know a game is good when they think about those implications

Hey. I don't have much to plug, but I used to be a Tekken competitor and Metroid just so happens to be my all time favorite franchise. I could talk about it for hours, but if you'd like to hang, feel free to come to my stream sometime. Thanks guys.

I did this when I was a child playing the game 20 years ago and thought I was some kind of genius for finding it LMFAO

What the fuck do you mean you can save your shinespark by hitting the slopes?!

Yep, you can store your shinesparks this way as well

You underestimate how bad I am at shrine spark puzzles.

Retroachievements jumpscare

my fingers already hurt playing the metroid games casually idk how you psychopaths can be consistent with shinesparks

Apparently it's this moment that gave the shinespark its name, I didn't know that

How many points was the RetroAchivement worth?

This was worth 50pts

The fun thing is that they could have just removed some of those slopes and redesigned that huge climb, had they truly wanted to. But nah, they just set it up said "Okay let's keep this shit and see who finds it"

Hey, I did that several years back!

The only sequence break that is legit in game

i got stuck in there by accident and it was hell do not recommend

The fact they anticipated someone would do this and made a scene to reflect that is insane.

AI tells you to get to your mission, then acts shocked when you get the diffusion missiles.

I could NEVER understand how to retain a shinespark for more than a few seconds…. And can’t figure out how to jump without losing it…. 😭

You can cheese it!

i always had trouble doing this, then i did it on 3DS !!

I remember finding this years ago, I did not enjoy the process of getting there lol

Wow. Beat the Game left and right and never saw this.

And you did way more than you had to I did it without the powerbombs and skiping one ramp

Hardest thing I ever had to do in a Metroid game.

Odd… I don’t recall it being that difficult. It’s been a while though.

This is very interesting because there are two ways of getting the secret message. Either you do this complex shinespark method, or if you're about to enter the Diffusion room, you space jump under a platform before the red door and ice missile one of the balloons-

my brain wasn't capable enough to pull off this
