		+	==Mother Brain Manipulation==
		+
		+	While the Baby Metroid has latched onto Mother Brain's head, you can use Samus' vertical position to manipulate the head's movement as Mother Brain sits down. Having Samus above or below Mother Brain's head at certain points will influence that movement, leading to the cutscene being longer or shorter. The length can be measured in the number of cries made by the Baby after Mother Brain's final scream. With no manipulation (as in Any%) this will be 7 cries.
		+
		+	The easiest manipulation is to Space Jump at the top of the screen until Mother Brain turns blue, then drop down to the floor when Mother Brain turns blue. This will usually result in 4 cries.
		+
		+	The fastest setups can result in 2 cries, but will have specific frame windows in which you must be above and below Mother Brain's head. Any sort of normalized movement will often help these setups be more lenient.
		+
		+	{{#ev:youtube\|GyYPyDPFznk}}
		+
		+	This information all only applies if you get "[[Mother Brain#Rainbow Cutscene\|bad cutscene]]", with Mother Brain's claw embedded in the wall. With "good cutscene", there is no known consistent setup for 2 cries, so runners are best off jumping only to avoid getting locked in a crouch pose, which will consistently lead to 4 cries.

-Mother Brain's leg is an ideal damage source, since it does not grant invulnerability. Note that you do not need to have Varia Suit disabled to perform this glitch, it simply makes it less risky. This is because after the first rainbow beam with Varia Suit enabled, if the player does not damage themselves quickly enough, Mother Brain will decide to fire another rainbow beam due to Samus having too much health, which can be disastrous.

		+	The game can also slowlock if you are in an unusual pose (such as morphed, facing to the right, or frameperfectly starting a jump) at either the moment the Super Metroid starts exploding, or the moment you gain Hyper Beam. If this occurs, hold a button that triggers any pose transition (such as turning around, aiming, or jumping) and the game will return to normal speed within a few seconds.

	The game will attempt to reapply the kneeling pose upon Samus at the moment the Super Metroid appears on screen to attack Mother Brain, as well as the moment the Super Metroid detaches from Mother Brain's 'corpse.' You will want to be airborne during these moments to avoid this reapplication. Alternatively, you can morph into a ball and lay a bomb to break yourself free after the kneeling pose is forced. Don't use this method in randomizers or romhacks that speed up the first phase cutscene as the acid will not drain far enough to avoid accidental contact.

 Mother Brain's third phase has 36000 health, which is equivalent to 40 charged [[Ice Beam|Ice]]/[[Wave Beam|Wave]]/[[Plasma Beam|Plasma]] shots. It can be difficult to output that many charge shots into Mother Brain before [[Hyper Beam]] is gained, but you can consistently come very close, to where you would only need a couple of Hyper Beam shots afterward to finish her off.
