Board 8 > The last metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do other people think the jumping feels weird in this game or is it just me?

---

It always felt slightly floaty to me in the beginning but I quickly got used to it

Yeah, I dunno, it just feels hard to control.

Kraid beated, varia suit get

---

how can metroid crawl
---

It feels a little stiff compared to later titles, but you eventually get used to it.
---

I actually didn't end up thinking much of Super Metroid because I didn't play it until after Zero Mission (yeah, I know.) The game feels so much stiffer than the GBA titles that the overall feel was super underwhelming, even if the map was good.
---

Do you guys ever feel like it adjusts as you play? No matter what game with jumping/ platforming aspects I play it takes a few days before it 'feels' smooth and fluid?

Celeste is a recent example I hated hoe it felt for the first few hours. By the end it felt beautiful and tight in controls

I always thought this game had some of the tightest control and gameplay ever, can't say I agree with the sentiment.
---

Controls in SM are very tight and responsive.

I feel the same way. Although I think part of it is because I've never played it with an actual SNES controller.

I definitely think the jumping feels slow/floaty.

Switching weapons is the main thing that annoyed me after having played the GBA games.

---

How long is this game? Feels like I get a new item every five minutes.

Got the speed booster, ice beam, and power bomb

---

I mean people can beat it with 100% item collection in less than two hours
---

Took a bit over 10 hours the first time maybe?
---

Ok, that was a pretty neat way of teaching me how to super jump

---

Also I have no idea how this reserve tank functions. And at some point while using the charge beam I got blue stars around me and lost the ability to shoot and I have no idea what that was about

---

If you have charge and one other beam and power bombs selected and charge it does a special attack.

There is one for each type of beam.

---

I always thought the jumping was intentionally slow/floaty because of like gravity or something

but also I think that it controls perfectly

Reserve tank is just an extra block of HP that kicks in if you would otherwise die. I think you refill it by picking up health while already at full health
---

Reserve tank is functionally exactly the same as a normal tank, right?

Yes and no. As stated it gives you extra health when you run out but you can only fill a reserve tank when you have full health and the reserve tank is empty. You can also trigger reserve tanks manually as well but they kick in automatically if you reach no health.

---

It's definitely floaty and kinda slow but super tight controls. I don't like it nearly as much as zero mission's speed.
