    I gotta be honest: I did not enjoy playing this game. The wall-jumping is absolute bullshit. The screw attack / space jumping does not work in certain rooms (scripted). The save points are too scarce and the difficulty is too high. Would have not beaten the game alone. Thankfully there is a patch for the SNES version that fixes the wall-jumping and space-jumping issues amongst other things. The presentation is absolutely amazing though, easily one of the best-looking games on SNES and the soundtrack is amazing as well; it doesn't get on your nerves even in pro-longed gaming sessions and has a great atmosphere.

    I got all the way to Ridley, but I couldn't beat him. I just didn't have enough engergy tanks...

    I'm back at Maridia. And man, water levels suck. I mean, that's a given, but still. Water levels suck.

    Bow at my feet, you minions. I mastered the wall jump and found the power bomb expansion.

    To be fair, this isn't actually hard to pull off. Just jump toward the wall, then hold the opposite direction and press jump when Samus is about to drift away from the wall. It's a timing-based jump that could've used some better instructions. Y'know, besides those stupid aliens that I want to kill...

    In the lower right corner of Norfair there's this huge lava pit which you have to get through so you can progress to the next boss. I already got the Varia suit, so I don't get hurt by the lava anymore. Unfortunately Samus can't simply swim through it, you have to spin while you're jumping apparantly. How do you do that?!

      Editing … If there's something you don't know how to do, typically it means you haven't acquired that ability yet. (Walljump is an exception, but it is not needed to progress, and the game teaches you about it eventually.)

      Editing … but what ability are we talking about here? after googling for half an hour I found out that you get the screw attack after beating ridley in lower norfair. is this the item I need to make my way through this huge lava pit or is it sth else? I somehow have to spin my way up there while I'm swimming through the Lava. that trick is even shown during the opening cutscene before you start the game

      Editing … I wasn't sure what ability you are talking about, it sounds like space jump, but whatever it is, you haven't acquired it yet or else you would know what it is and when to use it. So I'm guessing you tried to do that room prematurely.

      Editing … yeah it would be screw attack, thats the ability that lets you spin jump an infinite amount of times

      Editing … thanks for helping me out here, guys. reading walkthroughs of this game online is super confusing, it's all like "go into this room, shoot at this enemy,turn left, do a spin, equip bombs, go through that tunnel, open that green door, DO A BARREL ROLL etc pp"

      Editing … well you can skip some stuff by doing it, so I think they made it that way on purpose to make it feel like more of an accomplishment when you pull it off and find a new route
