There's even more great tracks in the prime games. Are ya planning on giving them a shot?
Maybe, well it depends. Can I buy the games on the Wii U?

If not, I'd have to go to this local game store that sells older consoles and games to see if they have a Gamecube and Metroid: Prime.

Yeah you can get almost the whole Metroid series including The prime trillogy which comes together.
The ones you will be missing though are Metroid 2 and it's remake and pinball.
Are they good ports? Do they have any technical problems or anything missing from their original versions on the Gamecube?

I've never played Melee but this is now my favorite rendition of the Planet Zebes theme. This theme alone is probably my new favorite all-time track by Nintendo.

Swinging around with the grapple beam is so damn cool. I love the sound effect it makes.

I wonder if the Swingshot from Ratchet and Clank was inspired by this.

If you get hit by the Needler in real life, would you die before getting super combined or after?

TIL you can break the glass tube that's underwater to get to Maridia with the power bomb.

Also I have no idea on how to get past that huge lava pool in Norfair.

That big fat orange alien with the 4 eyes. I'm guessing he's a miniboss since he was fairly easy to kill.

I didn't expect his carcass to jump out at you like the way it did. When that happened I thought you were going to have to fight him again.

fun fact: she lost the internship over that
funner fact: the guy she told to suck it is trying to get her an even better offer from nasa because he knows it was just banter
This guy will hopefully send all furries to space. He's doing God's work.

Fell down a giant shaft in Brinstar when I found a hidden passage. Down this walkway was a green bird-alien looking thing that runs past you so I ignored him since you can't interact with him. I realized there was no other way out other than to try wall jumping up this huge shaft which will take me forever. I tried jumping up it for about 45 minutes but failed every time.

I tried to sprint down the corridor since I got the super speed to get a higher jump to start up the shaft. That didn't work either. However one time I started sprinting, I must have pressed something on accident and noticed that Samus was glowing. I jumped and then just like that I was out of that shaft.

Me after realizing that bird was blatantly telling me how to escape the whole time.

After nearly an hour and a half, I finally figured out wall jumping and made it to the top of that shaft. Never felt that proud of myself in a game for awhile, holy shit. I'm afraid at what I'm gonna walk into next.

Alright so I backtracked even more and made my way back to the surface and got back to Samus's ship. I went through Crateria again and found any missing missile upgrades.

I'm going through my original entry point in Brinstar and found a bunch of hidden pathways. I'm in a shaft where there's little aliens singing the item room jingle and showing me how to wall jump.

can you wall jump

took me the longest time trying to figure out how it works, but it's so much fun
You can wall jump?!
yee, it's kinda tricky though

technically, there's a couple of monkey-like creatures in green brinstar that demonstrate how to do it, but even then, it won't be 100% clear what you're supposed to do button-wise

being able to figure out stuff like this for myself is one of my favorite things about the game, so i'll just put it in a spoiler

Spoiler
if you do a spin jump towards a wall, then hit the opposite direction as soon as you touch it, you'll notice that samus's sprite will change

if you hit A at this point with proper timing, she'll jump off the wall, which can be done repeatedly to climb up just about any vertical shaft that doesn't have a ceiling or something blocking you
I'll have to give this a try.

That's also one thing I'm enjoying about the game is the lack of information it gives you on how to control Samus. I didn't even know you could sprint until I got stuck on that disappearing bridge part in green Brinstar. I started pressing buttons out of frustration and noticed her running faster and used that to get across.
