Because Nintendo is cool with things like this, until you try to make money on it.
Regarding shinespark mechanics:
Just duck so you have your shinespark charge, then hold forward to do a jump onto the platform. You use your charge if you just press jump.

Need help on a mini-boss(?). It's right next to a save station in the water facility...
Last pickup I acquired was the Hi-Jump Boots. I was able to hurt him once but not sure how I pulled it off.

Activate it before landing.
Ohh, that's what I was doing wrong. Just managed to get it, thanks!
Just fought the first Gamma Metroid and cleared out the Hydro station. I'm really really enjoying this so far. Super polished and all the new additions to the game are great. My only real issue so far is that the Alpha Metroids are kinda annoying. They're easy to beat atleast.

Man, the demo was good, but from what I can tell the rough edges have been smoothed out a ton in the full release. It's ridiculously good for a solo project.
Edit: Also what do you do in (super early)
Also the remix that sounds like Brinstar had a baby with Torvus Bog is fucking amazing, I never thought the more moody Prime style of music would fit so damn well. But it does.

Chozo Ruins with the locked door and the strange statue thing? It looks like it has a morphball slot but it doesn't do anything.

Yeah, that's what I was trying but couldn't get it to land right I guess. Time to keep trying.
The boss bounces higher each time it gets hit by a bomb. So you just gotta hit it a few times and then try to time it right.
You won't be able to do anything with those statue things until much later in
Area 6 (the underwater area).
I also love how the gravity suit is obtained in this game.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Anything regarding it with the new windows update? Heard it got busted
3 hours in and about 50% complete. We accidentally 'sequence-broke' by
past an area instead of grabbing the
first. Kind of a cool moment when we realized it!
I've hit kind of a brick wall now though, and would love it if someone could drop me a slight hint! I have 2 metroids left in the area, the last part I've visited being the
. The only thing I see left is
shinesparking
Space Jump

dimly lit section
the Super Missile door in the top right, but once I get in there I'm blocked by Power Bomb blocks. There are also the two grey-door statues and some crystals near the ship landing. I'm guessing I need the power bombs next but no idea where to get them, was expecting to find them in the dimly lit area. :/
Reached an area with a Temple Grounds x Great Temple remix from Metroid Prime 2. I'm loving the choices he made for the music since while M2 had a couple of memorable tracks, 99% of the soundtrack was just a bunch of bleeps and bloops.
Also was it just me or did the last alpha metroid before the first omega have small legs? If so, pretty cool detail. I'm loving every second of this game.
Edit: This same area seems to have a mandatory shinespark section? Not really sure, maybe I just reached it before I was meant to, but if it really is mandatory then that's a weird design choice.

Loving the liberties taken to make the areas different and more logical. There are so many good surprises here for people used to Metroid 2.
Sorry, that's the only help I can give for right now. I have been recording all of my gameplay though, so maybe I can go back and see where you're stuck.
Edit: Did you
You don't need power bombs just yet.
Edit: Did you
fight the alpha metroid in the dark area? There's a gamma behind it too. Maybe those are the ones you're missing. When I went into the dark area as a whole to finish the overall area, I had 6 metroids left to kill.

The music is simply amazing

Didn't realize that this was out. I liked Metroid II on the GameBoy and I have finished it multiple times in speed runs out of boredom. It will be interesting to see how this stacks up.
It's a "secret" tech in most Metroid games. If you crouch while performing the speed boost, Samus will start shining, and the next time you do a regular jump she'll dash in whatever direction you tap at high speed.
I just took another look and found a small door I never entered in that area earlier on; so maybe that's what I'm missing. Thanks!

As a fan of the original Metroid 2, this is absolutely fantastic. Plays and feels like a dream.
Did a scan on Virus Total just to validate that everything was clean before running it.

Okay, I'm stuck. Where do you get Power Bombs?
Yeah the game just feels very natural in a sense.

Fun fact : you can use shinespark in morph ball.
It's in the original game isn't it? (I mean Zero Mission, not Metroid II).
There are more moments like that.
In the lower left section of The Tower that leads deeper in after you turn on the power. If you're not there yet, you don't need power bombs.
Thanks, didn't know what to do. So I skipped him.
Having a lot of fun with this so far. Really amazing remake

This game craps all over Federation Force, incredible. Sad that this is what I'm looking forward to for the 30th anniversary instead of an official product though...

I have no idea how I managed to miss that door. Thanks.
That was so freaking hard on the gameboy.

Is
scripted? I thought I was a goner there.

Just FYI, these online scanners lack the heuristics necessary to detect anything at all that might be newly created. In fact, simply changing a bit in infected files will bypass all these online scanners.
That said, I'm betting this game is OK. But... I'm gonna wait a day or so I think.
