Early Ice Beam

The Early Ice Beam glitch in Metroid Prime is a glitch that can be done by sequence breaking. It allows the player to get the Ice Beam before the Spider Ball. This glitch can also allow the player to get the Gravity Suit early as well.

How to perform
To perform this glitch, go through the game as you would normally, but stop and go to the Furnace after you get the Wave Beam. Go to the left side of the Spider Ball Track, staying in the front of the track. Look down, and hold forward on the track. If done correctly, you should "clip" onto the track. When you reach the top, jump onto the topmost piece of the track and go into Morph Ball mode. Keep holding forward until you go in the hole. If you don't, use the Boost Ball to get in. Continue to progress until you get to the Hall of the Elders and have beat the Chozo Ghosts. To get to the Morph Ball Slot (normally accesible with the Spider Ball), jump onto the "Solar Panels" and when you get to the platform with the slot, go into Morph Ball mode and lay a bomb. Then progress through normally and get the Ice Beam.
