>I have no idea where to go next

You might try going to gamefaqs.

>>4863941
Running back and forth doesn't advance the game. Try going to places you haven't been yet.

>>4863941
Have you gone to the wrecked ship yet? If so, investigate the Maridia pipe again (that small area that cuts Brinstar in two in the bottom right of your map)

>>4863976
Doubtful, given that he doesn't have grapple beam. He probably grabbed ice beam and left Norfair immediately instead of exploring.

>>4863986
fuck im retarded

>>4863986
Ah, missed the grapple not being on the HUD. I usually bypass it anyway, because I'm not a murderer.

Stop posting the same thread underage faggot

>>4863941
Run at light speed on the corridor you killed the boss and jump.

>>4864003
Crocomire did nothing wrong.

>>4864003
Exactly. You never need grapple anyway.

>>4864064
although the Crocomire is justified in fighting you because you violated his property rights, samus is not the one primarily violating the Non-Aggression Principle. by locking the door, and in effect kidnapping Samus, the space pirates are the ones violating the NAP, not Samus. when you are illegally kidnapped, you have the right to defend yourself against fellow inmates even though they are not your captor.

this gives you even more of an impetus to kill Ridley and Mother Brain. they are the initiators of violence by violating the natural rights of the scientists at the Space Colony.

do not feel bad about killing Crocomire. as long as your overall mission is to enforce natural rights and the NAP.

>>4864101
TIL the galaxy is not at piece the shitstain Samus, Pirates, Crocomire, Motherbrain ancaps running around.

Now I want a Metroid game where you play as a Metroid and finally wipe out such the real dangerous scum.

I never liked the Metroid franchise, virtually every stage looks the same to me.

Castlevania: SOTN did Metroid better because it was clear what part of the castle you're in.

>>4864115
Super Metroid's environments are far more visually distinct than SotN's boring corridors.

>>4864142

Eh still think the most generic SOTN room is more distinct than Metroids, I pretty much know where i'm at unlike the top pics.

>>4864173
Well, I know precisely where each of those Super Metroid rooms are. Half of SotN's rooms are basically featureless.

>>4864031
>stop talking about /vr/

>>4864227
He’s a stupid emubabby faggot who is too fucking retarded to look up a guide. >>>4859229
Kill yourself OP

>>4864309
yet it stimulated interesting discussions about SOTN and cocomire, that is most important

>>4864183
The difference is you know the Super Metroid rooms in an abstract way, not because you can describe them using real environmental aspects.

Try powerbombing the glass tube

>one of the easiest games on SNES
>has a fucking AUTO-MAP
>STILL can't figure out where to go

Is this bait?
Kids back then didn't need guides and neither did I.

I hate to drag this up again but where the FUCK IS THE GRAPPLING HOOK

>>4865754
there's this shit we call internet
in that magical place you can find the magical artifact called "guide" you fucking sperg

ok I found it, but here is the thing. at what point are you ever supposed to know the 'charge' can make you jump farther? the game never tells you that. I kept trying to zap upward or sidways. It never tutorials you how to do that. I only saw it in a video guide. you can do that? WHAT? there is no way to justify how flawed this is.

>>4865850
that's my problem with this game. you're just supposed to 'know' that super magic hack can be done. it mostly does a good job tutorial'ing you with the limits and in's and out's of a new trick. but this one was fucked up, lets admit

>>4865850
>>4865852
???
If you're talking about the room before you get the grapple beam, it literally gives you a long-ass ramp that you're obviously supposed to jump from. Use your brain for fuck's sake. A child could figure this shit out.

>>4865850
Dachora teaches you the technique, in a similar manner that the etecoons teach you wall jumping. You never need to shinespark or wall jump to beat this game though, so that's a moot point.

all of this is done without a single word. it's fucking brilliant.

>>4865859
The dude couldn't find the E-tank in the small flea room in brinstar that's hidden behind a cracked wall, when in order to even access that room they had to shoot a cracked wall 2 rooms away (which is another great example of the game teaching you by making you do something to progress)

>>4865891
it teaches you how to rocket upward/sideways, but not that if you charge you will be able to jump farther. They brought that outta thin air. WHAT?

in honest defense of OP
in the 90s when this game came out and the internet was in it's absolute infancy for the masses at least, I got stuck not once but TWICE after crocomire because i never figured out you were supposed to ramp jump

>>4865903
You learn you can jump farther when running as soon as you run with the run button held and jump, surely you could figure out that if you can run faster you can jump farther, goddamn
Doing a huge running jump off that ramp was the first thing I did as a kid just because it's so much fun

>>4865903
There are speed booster bricks right by the end of the ramp. The only way they could have possibly made it more obvious is if they put up an actual fucking sign there saying SPEED BOOSTER JUMP HERE DIPSHIT.

>>4865903
>>4865916
the game tried really hard, and you guys just missed the clues.

it had already taught you how to break through walls using the speed booster (you have to do this to get to crocomire), and when you get to the room in question, there are speed booster blocks all over a flat area that ends with a ramp. the blocks entice you to speed boost. Boosting right hits a wall, so boosting left is the only option. the sudden ramp and looooong pool of acid should have made you want to jump off it at full speed.

even if you had missed all of this, with enough exploration you could access dacora's and the etecoon's rooms and learned how to both shinespark and wall jump, which would allow you to bypass the tall wall leading up to the grapple.

this game does an outstanding job of showing things to you silently.

>>4865903
>what is momentum
>what is inertia

>>4865938
thing is i knew about wall jumping, however, I was so awful at it I actually had to completely restart once cause I was locked down in that pit and could not get out for the life of me. I just didn't have the coordination at that age to wall jump out

these days I do it easy, no problem.

>playing the game with your monitor tilted 90 degrees
No wonder you're stuck, OP. That must rather disorientating.

>>4865903
I'm confused. Are you surprised by the idea that a running start makes you jump farther?

>>4866414
the game never tells you that can happen, when I got to that point I was doing the jet pack thing, you know, the one the game teaches you to do. but failed. the game fails at its own rules.

>post a picture you took
>don't orient it properly
Why do white people do this

>>4867089
Im chinese fool

>>4867098

>>4867098
Stupid gook

>>4867098
Im chinese food

>>4867075
The game tried its absolute hardest to teach you, but sadly you're simply too retarded to play a game made for children.

>>4867075

>>4867075
This isn't just basic physics, this isn't just common sense, this isn't just something a little kid will realize on the playground, this isn't just shown in movies, this is literally how every game with a jump ability works. How can you be this fucking stupid?

>>4867437
>>4868143
you cant accept the game is flawed cause you used guides back then
here is another flaw. this dude will kill you how are you supposed to know charging up can dodge his electric? Only reason I found that out was looking on youtube

>>4868271
don't hit him with fully charged ice+spazer+wave beam, and he won't fuck your shit (disable ice, i think). instead he will start floating around (then you can enable the ice beam for extra damage)

save the animals

>>4868271
Or just jump around them like it shows in your picture. This isn't rocket science and doesn't require a guide, just paying the slightest bit of attention.

>>4868273
Charged shots are fine in any combination. Super Missiles are what enrages him.
