So I'm all set to say to myself "At least my return to this game is slightly better than a blind playthrough!" and then you made me remember I went right past the Spazer somehow and still have yet to find with assorted backtracking despite killing Kraid and getting several other upgrades deep already :downs:

Wandering around a Mertroid with no idea where you're going is a magical thing.

I kind of wish people would stop telling him about things that the game actually has natural ways to teach him about. For shinesparking, at least.
The secret bullshit most people needed Nintendo power to know, once he almost but not quite did it by pure accident? What a crime right.

The ability to turn power-ups on and off is a really weird feature in this game but one that makes the game feel more authentic to me in a way that's tough to describe. It makes it feel like you have more control over the suit in that you can turn features on and off, also mixing and matching the different beam upgrades you get and seeing the results was more fun for me than it should have been.

So many games would benefit from the ability to toggle power ups and passive abilities, yeah.
