Handy things to know - you can shoot directly downward while in the air. I thought that was the case in 2, but maybe not.

Menu items: I believe that Auto-Item Cancel means that when you press Select after using an item, it'll go straight back to the normal beam without having to scroll through all of the items. Moonwalk lets you hold the shoot button and walk slowly in either direction while facing the same way. I hate it, but it's there.

And now you see what happens when you use walljumps to get somewhere you're distinctly not supposed to go.

You can always just die and reload from the save point.

I'm really enjoying the irony.

"I should go through the locked doors before crossing the one-way barrier." (does not go through any locked doors) "Why are there no map stations or save points in this game?"

Getting past those guys is definitely not a sequence break, since that's the missile fill-up on the way to the boss that gives you the upgrade you generally need to get either of the upgrades listed as ways to get past them. I think it's meant to slow you down and add to your completion time.
