== Any% ==

One strategy in this room when entering from the left is to [[Bounceball|bounce]] on the first pillar, and jump over the second pillar while [[Charge Beam|charging]]. Then do a [[Pseudo Screw Attack]] over the third pillar, killing the Geruta, and land in front of the right door.

{{#ev:youtube|iMQUsHVS3os}}

If you have Spazer, you can alternatively farm the Geruta and the last Nova fairly efficiently, and this strat is less complex to execute.

== 100% ==

Sir HopTart developed a known method of jumping fully, instead of a Mockball or bounceball across the pilar when first entering, followed by doing a Kago off the Frog to get down faster. When exiting from the missles, samus does a d-boost off the enemy to get out faster, this is humanly possible, but currently not achieved by anyone at the moment.

{{#ev:youtube|QlNVn7fEY90}}

An easier method of getting out without the d-boost is just jumping out of the lava then jumping out as one normally would when collecting the missles then heading towards Bubble Mountain.

Here Sir HopTart collects Cathedral Missles in 4 seconds a 8 frames! (as far as he knows thats the lowest documented time for collecting them.

Sir HopTart (aka Hop) started learning how to Speedrun Super Metroid on February 22nd, 2020. The first category he learned is 100% Item Collection!

Horizontal Speed

2020-09-11T18:47:11Z

Sir Hoptat: /* Dash */

== Introduction ==

The dash value is added towards the momentum value to create the speed value. The speed value indicates how many pixels per frame Samus will move.

Here's an example referencing information below: Assuming a dash value of 0, the horizontal speed of a normal jump on NTSC is 1.25 pixels per frame.

An [[Arm Pumping|armpump]] will shift Samus forward one pixel.

In summation, Samus's total speed in pixels per frame = dash value + momentum value + armpump value (if it applies - 1 if it does, 0 if it does not).

== Dash ==

'''NTSC'''

The maximum dash value without [[Speed Booster]] equipped is 2.

The maximum dash value with Speed Booster equipped is 7.

4096 subpixels (0.0625 pixels) are added to the dash value for every frame dash is held.

Without Speed Booster, it takes 32 frames to gain full dash amount. This is a little over 7 Tiles (No Slopes).

With Speed Booster, it takes 112 frames to gain full dash amount. This is a little over 37 Tiles (No Slopes).

'''PAL'''

The maximum dash value without Speed Booster equipped is 2.26112.

The maximum dash value with Speed Booster equipped is 8.

5120 subpixels (0.078125 pixels) are added to the dash value for every frame dash is held.

Without Speed Booster, it takes 31 frames to gain full dash amount.

With Speed Booster, it takes 103 frames to gain full dash amount.

'''Both'''

It is possible to maintain the dash value for all types of momentum except for turnaround and moonwalk ([[Tool Assisted Speedruns|tool-assisted]] only).

The dash value is immediately reset if Samus becomes submerged in sand, or submerged in lava with Speed Booster equipped. The dash value cannot be increased in quicksand nor with Speed Booster equipped in lava. The dash value can be increased in lava if Samus has [[Gravity Suit]] equipped without Speed Booster equipped.

== Momentum ==

The momentum values can be read as both the amount of pixels Samus moves per frame (assuming a dash value of 0), and as "pixels.subpixels."

The maximum amount of subpixels is 65536. You simply divide the decimal (subpixel) amount by 65536 to find the fraction of pixels involved.

Excluding moonwalk, all of these values are different (including [[Shinespark|shinespark]]) if Samus is underwater without Gravity Suit equipped.

All animations are twice as long when they take place underwater without Gravity Suit equipped.

Momentum is forced to decrease to 0 if Samus performs a turnaround, or if Samus runs forward and then forward is released. The latter is the reason "[[Short Charge#Stutter Step|stuttering]]" works, and is the reason why, with tools, the dash amount can be increased in a shorter distance than what is humanly possible.

Morphing and unmorphing animations ignore the momentum value and only utilize the dash value.

"Ramp" means the amount of frames the source of momentum takes to reach the amount listed in the column, which is its standard amount. Technically, all sources could have a 'minimum' amount of 0, and a variable 'maximum' amount if they have oscillating values.

All ramp amounts assume that Samus's starting momentum is 0.

Pink Brinstar Hopper Room

2020-07-14T13:26:55Z

Sir Hoptat: /* Options to open the gate */

{{Adjacent rooms
|west=[[Big Pink]]
|east=[[Hoptank Room]]
}}

[[File:PinkBrinstarHopperRoom.png|x400px]]

=Options to open the gate=

The intended strategy to traverse this room from left to right to obtain the [[Energy Tank]] in the [[Hoptank Room]] is to get up to the pillar (Walljumping is sufficient even though the intention is to use [[Grappling Beam]] to get up there hence the grapple block) and shoot open the gate by using [[Wave Beam]].

However there is a workaround that only requires a [[Super Missile]]. The idea is similiar to a normal traditional [[Gate Glitch]]. Accelerating a [[Super Missile]] fast enough relative to its position to the gate to push it through the actual gate and into the sensor to open the gate from the other side. This is obviously not intended and even for the classic [[Gate Glitch]] a special case since that is usually only possible if the sensor is on the left.

Following are videos showing the setup for the trick and its execution. Note that there are different setups for both with and without [[Hi-Jump Boots]] and that generally speaking, performing that trick with it is easier:

===Gate Glitch with Hi-Jump===

{{#ev:youtube|cykJDBBSBrc}}

This method is arguably the easiest. As with all methods you have to allign Samus´ back with the wall which can be done by [[Moonwalk|Moonwalking]], [[Damage boosting|Damage-knockback]], [[Morphing Ball|Morphball-Turnaround]] etc. , then jump up and shoot at the right time as shown in the video. Two good visual cues people use are Samus´ center being at the upper doorframe and/or Samus´ head touching the little pink mushroom above the doorframe. Thoose same visual cues can be used for the Hi-Jumpless methods aswell even though the setup is different as shown below.

===Gate Glitch without Hi-Jump===

Intuitive indoor setup demonstrated by lildingus.

{{#ev:youtube|2Cn27pBnql4}}

Normalized indoor setup demonstrated by [[User:Matrick2298|matrick2298]].

The idea behind both of theese setups is similiar to the [[Hi-Jump Boots|Hi-Jump]] setup. You still have to perfectly allign with the wall and shoot with just enough acceleration at the right spot. However due to the lack of jump height a ground setup is not possible. That is the reason why you have to jump out of the door to make up for the lack of [[Hi-Jump Boots]]. However since you still need to be pixelperfectly alligned with the wall you need to do that allignment out of a jump which is considerably more difficult, yet with enough practice can be very consistent. The first video shows how that jump is done intuitively by only slightly tapping right after the jump out of the doorframe. The second video describes in all detail how to normalize that setup with turanround jumps. Both setups have their difficultys, however method 2 is probably generaly speaking more consistent due to the normalisation.

As the second video shows, if you have moonwalk enabled, this is the easiest way to align Samus' back against the wall.

The timing for the shot is not different from the [[Hi-Jump Boots]] method.

=Options to open the gate=

The intended strategy to traverse this room from left to right to obtain the [[Energy Tank]] in the [[Hopper Energy Tank Room]] is to get up to the pillar (Walljumping is sufficient even though the intention is to use [[Grappling Beam]] to get up there hence the grapple block) and shoot open the gate by using [[Wave Beam]].

However there is a workaround that only requires a [[Super Missile]]. The idea is similiar to a normal traditional [[Gate Glitch]]. Accelerating a [[Super Missile]] fast enough relative to its position to the gate to push it through the actual gate and into the sensor to open the gate from the other side. This is obviously not intended and even for the classic [[Gate Glitch]] a special case since that is usually only possible if the sensor is on the left.

Following are videos showing the setup for the trick and its execution. Note that there are different setups for both with and without [[Hi-Jump Boots]] and that generally speaking, performing that trick with it is easier:

This method is arguably the easiest. As with all methods you have to allign Samus´ back with the wall which can be done by [[Moonwalk|Moonwalking]], [[Damage boosting|Damage-knockback]], [[Morphing Ball|Morphball-Turnaround]] etc. , then jump up and shoot at the right time as shown in the video. Two good visual cues people use are Samus´ center being at the upper doorframe and/or Samus´ head touching the little pink mushroom above the doorframe. Thoose same visual cues can be used for the Hi-Jumpless methods aswell even though the setup is different as shown below.

Normalized indoor setup demonstrated by [[User:Matrick2298|matrick2298]].

The idea behind both of theese setups is similiar to the [[Hi-Jump Boots|Hi-Jump]] setup. You still have to perfectly allign with the wall and shoot with just enough acceleration at the right spot. However due to the lack of jump height a ground setup is not possible. That is the reason why you have to jump out of the door to make up for the lack of [[Hi-Jump Boots]]. However since you still need to be pixelperfectly alligned with the wall you need to do that allignment out of a jump which is considerably more difficult, yet with enough practice can be very consistent. The first video shows how that jump is done intuitively by only slightly tapping right after the jump out of the doorframe. The second video describes in all detail how to normalize that setup with turanround jumps. Both setups have their difficultys, however method 2 is probably generaly speaking more consistent due to the normalisation.

As the second video shows, if you have moonwalk enabled, this is the easiest way to align Samus' back against the wall.

The timing for the shot is not different from the [[Hi-Jump Boots]] method.
