Learn how to Speed Booster, Shinespark, and Space Jump in Metroid: Other M. Discover the Screw Attack's energy waves.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speed Booster: Press and hold the D-pad and move in a single direction for a certain period of time to start to run fast. You can also cause damage to enemies that you run into.
  2. 2
    Shinespark: While speed boosting, press and release the 2 button to perform a powerful jump. If you aren't pressing the D-pad in any direction when you release the 2 button, you'll jump straight up. Press the D-pad in a direction when you release the 2 button to jump in that direction.
  3. 3
    Space Jump: Press the 2 button during a spin jump to perform another spin jump. If you continue to press the 2 button, you will continue to space-jump. Unlike some Metroid games, you cannot Space Jump all the way up a room. This trend started with Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
  4. 4
    Screw Attack: Causes Samus's body to emit energy waves while doing a spin.
Tips
  • Use the Speed Booster to damage enemies you run into.
  • Experiment with different directions during a Shinespark to reach new areas.
  • The Space Jump allows for multiple consecutive jumps, but has vertical limitations compared to some previous Metroid titles.
