Thanks to Guitarzan for the following:
- In the area where you find your first Ice Beam, climbing back up to the
ledge where you can't make it with a normal jump can be done without using
the reappearing block to propel you up. If you use the bomb jump trick
(drop a bomb, stand up and then jump while in mid-air from the bomb blast),
you'll easily clear the ledge without having to use the reappearing block.
Thanks to Chuck Cochems for the following:
- If you're playing for a fast time it's a good idea to go for Ridley first
before Kraid and don't bother finding the Wave Beam, the 50 missiles you'll
get from Ridley will help against Kraid. Also another note, if you're
playing the Famicom Disk System version of the game, Ridley's fireballs
will alternate between short and long bouncing patterns, but in the US
version (most likely PAL too) they'll randomly change between short and
long bounces.
- Here's a few tips for taking on Ridley:
With the Varia and Wave Beam, if you jump down into the lava below
Ridley and jump up and down while firing the Wave Beam you'll eventually
take him down (just make sure you've got heaps of Energy Tanks).
When the fireballs bounce over a long distance, just fire a few missiles
each time Ridley lands, if you run out use your beam weapon.
Another trick is to Screw Attack into Ridley each time he jumps, but
quickly fly back to the right when you hit Ridley. This trick works if
you're low on missiles.
If you have the Ice Beam, when the fireballs bounce around in an almost
direct vertical pattern, freeze them all before laying into Ridley,
while the fireballs are frozen he won't spit out any more.
- The best and fastest way to beat Kraid is to freeze his three spike
missiles after they launch away from his body, then fill him with
missiles before they unfreeze. Keep this up while dodging the flying
bombs to take him down pretty quickly. Fake Kraid can also be beaten with
one Screw Attack.
- A good trick when fighting Mother Brain is to freeze the bubbles that fly
around (only three ever appear at one time), this will give you around 7
seconds to rip into Mother Brain.
- Strangely if you make it out of the final elevator too fast the game will
think you cheated and gives you the worst ending to the game. If you make
it to the top of the shaft too fast wait around 100 timer units before
hopping onto the elevator.
This one comes from Christian:
- For a faster completion time it's better to go after Ridley first and
then take care of Kraid second. If you manage to jump right over Ridley and
stay behind him you'll be able to tear away with the Wave Beam without the
threat of taking heavy damage from his fireballs.
