I’ll never understand why the speed boost/shine spark puzzles are so much harder than everything else in the game, every single game.

[nolanbrewer]

I love to find the speed boost blocks in special conditions and say to my self, "they can seriously expect me to do this" then I look up a video and it's exactly what horrible thing I thought it was.

[andrehebert]

Forget sneaking around the emmis, these are the true platforming bosses of this game.

[witchfinda]

Shinespark puzzles are simultaneously the bane of my existence and my favourite thing ever. The rush of getting it all right and knowing that it was your skill makes the failed attempts all worth it but man, these things get frustrating

[Radiant_Silverback]

These puzzles are so sick. 2D Metroid finally getting the love it deserves

[chriswahl]

I love these challenges, but the way Shinesparking works definitely could've been explained better/more thoroughly in the game.

[InfernosPhantoms]

I genuinely couldn’t fathom how to do some of these, and seeing how they’re done and seeing this, I’m now convinced I just won’t be able to do some of these they’re unreal. RIP my 100% completion

Edit: I did do it, and I got fairly decent at it after practicing. The only sequence break I still can’t do is a cryo room for early super missiles.

[mist]

Thanks for showing how some of these can be done! I couldn't figure out Darion 1 so I broke my "no guide for the first run" rule. I did not know sliding and wall jumping keeps momentum in this game.

[varkster]

I can't imagine doing any of these if Samus didn't control as flawlessly as she does in this game. Seriously, what Mercury Steam achieved here is a triumph.

[breadman]

Fun Fact: If you do the 3rd Burenia puzzle right after you get the Ice Missiles and Scan Pulse, you can get the Gravity Suit early, effectively skipping the Space Jump and Storm Missiles

[Balthazar]

You missed one in Artaria, in the very large room, green on the map. Requires a shinespark while in morph ball mode.

[DMDarren]

0:07 the Speed Booster continues it’s tradition of amazing me with mechanics I had no clue about until watching a YouTube video about it
I was doing it from the other room and shooting the blocks, cross bombing across the ledge then planting a bomb, the timing was stupid tight but it worked, this method looks so much easier lol

[Schrodinger_]

Speed booster is the _perfect_ metroidvania upgrade. I have never seen such a well designed upgrade in any other MV. Easy to use/learn, but incredibly hard to master. High skill ceiling. Opens up a whole new genre of platforming challenges, called "shinespark puzzles". It feels amazing to use. My favourite MV is not a Metroid game (it's Hollow Knight), but I have _never_ seen an upgrade in another MV that's as _perfect_ as the speed booster, and I'm still waiting.

And they came up with it in 1994.

[zammich]

0:45 you don't need to blow up the regular blocks. Just go the the far left and ballspark diagonal down-right and you'll blast through all the blocks at once. It's very satisfying.

[laylover]

I'm so happy the shinespark is finally back. One of my favorite Metroid features. Dread so far has been going above and beyond my extremely high expectations.

[simphiwe]

😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥Bloooody hell the fluidity of this game. I geek out every single time🔥🔥❤

[OxbowisaMstie]

I hate everything right now. Those two Dairon puzzles nearly broke me.

[Hoa_G_Pham]

Dairon 2/2- I started from the elevator to Ghavoran. There's just enough space to charge up the shinespark, ball through the opening, shinespark over the little incline to resume speed booster, charge up shinespark again, ball through the second slot, spin jump up and spark through. It's still very tight on timing, but just another way to do it.

[bradleyc.]

Thank you so much this video was an absolute lifesaver for me
