Zebetite Glitch

In Super Metroid, a glitch in the collision detection makes it possible to pass through Zebetites, the red barriers in Mother Brain's room in Tourian, without using any missiles. One way to perform this trick is as follows:


 * 1) Freeze the Rinka underneath the Zebetite immediately when it spawns
 * 2) Spin jump into the Zebetite so that Samus takes damage and begins to flash
 * 3) Spin jump again on the same spot
 * 4) Now do a regular jump forward, and Samus will pass through the Zebetite

When the first Zebetite has been cleared, the next three will not spawn, and it is hence possible to continue directly to Mother Brain.

It is necessary that Samus has the ice beam to freeze the Rinka with, and that Screw Attack is disabled. The steps must also be carried out in quick succession.
