From: "CapCom" Subject: Re: M2SW Letter #2 Yo! I found a bunch of new secret stuff using the Select trick, and also found a new trick, Select trick's sister, START TRICK!!! I was messing around with my MetII cart at home on the Super GB when I suddenly found a glitch (read about it at the MDB, I was a bit excited...) Anyway, then I started trying to do the Select trick (never was much in the way of button mashing, and I hadn't tried it before) when I thought 'why don't I put Start on auto and see what happens (I've got a turbo controller). So, I did that, and MAN! Glitches galore! I was exploring the area in Ruins no.3, the place where you fall down into the pit, there's a Save Point, and a room with a Gamma and a Missile tank. I messed around with that, saw the Gamma morph (yup, it's origionally an Alpha) found a glitch to an area with a messed up Autrack (finally figured out what it was), and then messed around in a few more areas. There's a load of glitches in any place you go with the Start trick. I know of at least two secret areas in the room with the Gamma and Missile tank, one leads you to the Autrack (it's towards the middle of the room on the left side) and another one that leads you to an area with a bunch of small pixel-sized platforms (you fall down and get stuck!) I'll call this room no. 88, cuz that's what it is on the map I'm working on...I'll hopefully have it finished by Saturday:) Anyway, if you go one room down and head right, there's a vertical shaft with spikes on it. There's at least one hidden area in there, but I couldn't get to it cuz of the spikes. In the room to the left of 88, there's a bunch of Autracks If you use the select trick, you can head right at the bottom of the shaft and back into 88 where you can kill a really messed up Gamma (I think that might have been the one mentioned in the last newsletter) and also pick up the missile tank again (i seem to remember hearing about this...) I'm gonna go for unlimited Metroids and Missiles! Wish me luck! You can also fall down the bottom of the room to the left of 88 and you get into an area with Chozo Statue pieces. I fell down there, and got stuck (I think that might be one whole room...) Well, I doubt I'll be able to do much more tonight, so I'll give it my best tomorrow! (MAN, this SW stuff is fun!)
