Doesn't the title screen show you breaking the tube with a power bomb if you let it sit long enough?

Probably that they were really good at making vidya

No. People have Mandela effected this from the Super Metroid commercial which does show using the powerbomb in the tube. I let the game run through its attract mode for an hour straight and got nothing. I tried it again for around fifteen minutes each with different save files of various levels of completion since some people said that would influence it, save files had zero effect on the attract mode sequences.

lmao you got fooled on pre-internet highschool levels of gossip

People always talk about this but I played the entire game as a kid and don't even remember this part.
I probably just set there and tried everything since it clearly shows youre supposed to go up and down from this room.

i figured it out on my when i was 10, are you mentally retarded?

That you'd come from the Wrecked Ship back door, which leads you through a broken pipe (right before the Maridia map station) and you'd figure it out.

They're probably conflating it with the already broken tube in Marida. Which I get the impression they expected players to reach first by going to Maridia from Crateria since the players movement would be so limited there they'd eventually come across the broken tube room, which is only a few screens from the not broken tube.

But since nobody ever fucking goes to Maridia that way everybody ends up missing it.

I discovered it by pure luck

Having a single block that when hit would show the power bomb icon would have been overall better design I suppose

>Mandela effected
turn it off
TURN IT OFF

I played Super Metroid for the first time a couple months ago. This was very easy. You have a map saying you can go up or down with no other possible connections, and there's a screen with a broken tube that looks the same very close by.

Figure out what? That the pipe can be broken? What about HOW?

... Huh, you know, now that you point it out, that's a good question. I wonder what happens if I experiment with my ordnance.

They were thinking that you were capable of doing so as well
Clearly they were wrong

I wonder how many of them got filtered by the Brinstar bridge.

Hmm. Shooting does nothing. Bombs do nothing. X-ray shows empty...

You have like five tools to choose from.

And the first 3 should show the needed tool there.

Threadly reminder that y cant metroid crawl guy beat the game

Grapple beam didn't work either. Nor did missiles or supers. Might as well try the last option.

Why? According to the previous tests it's not breakable.

Is it just me or does anybody else want to fuck the tube? something about that entrance just make me want to fuck it.

Seriously. This game sucks and we should get a refund, clearly it's not beatable.

Don't they show it broken in the opening demo? Also completely optional to beating the game.

Did you not also try missiles on the green and yellow doors? And yet, you figured out how to open those, too.

Those were EXPLAINED IN THE MANUAL

It's a glass tube, not a block. It's pretty intuitive that a big blast would break it, especially when you see that there are areas on the map above and below it with seemingly no other way to access them.

I wonder who could be behind this post

No, according to the previous tests it wasn't breakable with the methods you tried. It's obviously breakable from the map, so you're going to try any new equipment you get.

This and the Sonic 3 barrel are some of the greatest retard filters in history.

The pit you need to wall jump to get out of is more bullshit.
>But the aliens show you how
Walljumping in SM is touchy as fuck and if you don't know how to do it you can easily be lead to believe that either it's not possible or you missed an upgrade that lets you do it.
