Stumbling through Super Metroid - Part 9

[davidn]

Here's another fifteen-minute episode, in which this time a whole lot more happens! The exploration continues, I end up a bit stuck, then remember something I ignored earlier and get right back on to the route again, including epic battles with two bosses, one manageably small and one intimidatingly large. And grabby.

I always have the help of editing :) Though yes, that was easily the hardest boss yet, being able to take a lot of damage and knowing that if you messed up you lost about three energy tanks and had to wait for ages until you were free. (I imagine it taking so long is very deliberate so that you can notice the alternative route...)

I dread to ask, but what else was surprising to you about my route in this video!

I mentioned it in the video comments...the bit Raven mentions in the comment below. Honestly, the thought of using the Spring Ball to take that tunnel in reverse to get the E-Tank has never occurred to me until you did it.

Not quite as much of a "How/Why did he do THAT!?" as how you got to the Grappling Beam room, but still not something I expected.
