Screw Attack X-Ray--?--Plasma Beam
?- The X-Ray Glitch has been used to get the Plasma Beam, but I
do not know if this glitch can be fully exploited to get other
items yet. The only use for it right now is to get the Plasma
Beam without killing Draygon, but that still requires the
Gravity Suit in Maridia. Special thanks to Kejardon for doing
this glitch.
4. Descriptions/Details of the Item Tree
0. First Branches
a. Morph Ball - Missile
This one is easy, you can get the missiles right after the
morph ball just a normal game. Note that not all missiles can
be gotten with just the morph ball, others require more missiles
to use, power bombs, super missiles, the speed booster, or the
gravity suit. For more info on how to get these missiles, refer to
the other FAQs please.
b. Missile - Bombs
Bombs are easy to get, just defeat the Torizo as you would normally.
1. Bombs Branches
a. Bombs - Super Missiles
There are several ways to go about this, you can use the
mockball trick to get into the area with Super Missiles in
Brinstar, or you can fight spore spawn as you would normally.
Note that only 2 packs of Super Missiles can be gotten this way
since we don't have power bombs or other additions yet. For a
complete listing of where all the super missiles are, refer to
the other FAQs, or for how to use the mockball trick.
b. Bombs - Charge Beam
This is easy, you just bomb through the blocks as you would
normally to get down the Charge Beam, no other items needed.
c. Bombs/Missiles - Energy Tank
There are a few energy tanks you can get right off the bat
once you get the bombs, mainly the first one is the easiest as
you are going down the diagonal shaft to Brinstar in Crateria.
You can also get the first energy tank in Old Brinstar by Wall
Jumping up and shooting the block where it is hidden in the ceiling,
so no need for bombs for this one. The other 1 of them requires bomb
jumping, while one is in the old Brinstar area, the other you must
go through the Gauntlet in Crateria. For all other energy tanks
you need at least super missiles if not power bombs, and maybe a
few other additions.
d. Bombs - Reserve Tank
For this one, you can use the mockball trick in the same way
to get a reserve tank in the same room with the super missiles.
II. Super Missile Branches
a. Super Missiles - Ice Beam
Technically, you only need super missiles to get the ice beam,
since you already have everything else, but I would recommend
that you have collected all the 4 energy tanks possible before
attempting this. You also have to use the mockball trick like in
Brinstar to get under the closing gates. Getting out of there
is the hardest part, especially if you don't have the Varia Suit
because the rooms are heated, but it is possible with some tricks
and stuff.
b. Super Missiles - Wave Beam/Speed Booster
Technically, you only need the super missiles to get into the wave
beam room, however, it is highly recommended that you have the
high jump boots and Varia suit before attempting this, if not; then
lots of energy tanks so you won't lose life. You can also fight
Kraid if you want to collect just his energy tank and not the Varia
Suit. You'll have to go through the heated rooms in Norfair, into
the bubble room, and then bomb-jump up to the doors on the upper
right hand quarter of the bubble room. Both paths are very dangerous
to take, but if you got here to the bubble room, you've done the
