Tips & Tricks
Enemies Stuck In The Wrong Room
Normally, enemies are confined to the rooms where you encounter them. But if you manage to lure an enemy through an open door into an adjacent chamber, watch as they completely lose interest in Samus.
Ground-based enemies (mostly Geemers) will likely try to backtrack through the door, but if the door is sealed they’ll burrow down into the ground – even if the floor is made of solid steel.
Sector 3 Door Glitch
There is a door in a specific room in Sector 3 that can accidentally lock tight and prevent you from progressing, despite the fact it is normally meant to be unlocked. This forces players to start the game over again.
To prevent it from happening: After defeating the Dessgeegas, do not backtrack – exit the room via the door near the cliff and proceed as normal to avoid the glitch. This way the glitched door should be green when you reach it later on.
Secret Morph Ball Overload Attack
If you charge your Beam and go into Morph Ball form before releasing, you can drop 5 Normal Bombs at once. Also, if you charge while in Morph Ball you can shoot a Charged Beam immediately when you turn back into your Suit.
