Revision as of 22:55, 11 January 2021
Power Bombs Before Bombs (PBBB) is a sequence break in Metroid Prime in which the Power Bomb expansion in Magma Pool is retrieved before getting the regular Morph Ball Bombs in Burn Dome. In the any% route, this saves well over a minute due to, among other resulting routing differences, not having to perform the Infinite Speed glitch in Magma Pool. It requires a wallcrawl that starts at Main Plaza's Secret World.
Route
PBBB
The route starts to deviate from the double-IS route after obtaining Morph Ball in Ruined Shrine. Once in Main Plaza, the loading trigger for Piston Tunnel must be touched, after which the wallcrawl starts from Main Plaza's secret world. Once at Training Chamber Access, it is important not to transition immediately to that room, as Magma Pool will automatically load and make the trick impossible. An R-Jump must be performed at the same time the room is transitioned. This is to quickly get to the other side of the room. Once there, Samus needs to be at a specific height range for the trick to work. If at the desired height, then the player needs to start using Pause Delay in order to delay the load of Magma Pool. Visual cues from the map need to be used in order to verify that Samus is in the correct position. If done correctly, Samus will collect the Power Bomb expansion and drop down to the bottom of Magma Pool's box. After this, Samus needs to get back in-bounds, which can be done by performing a ceiling warp. Once inside Magma Pool, transition into the room and quickly Scan Dash to the other side. After this, the route remains the same up until Samus gets regular bombs.

IBBF and Life Grove Without Boost
After acquiring the Morph Ball Bombs in Burn Dome, the route does the Ice Beam Before Flaahgra wallcrawl. Once Ice Beam is acquired, the X-Ray Visor needs to be obtained, which entails going through Life Grove Tunnel and Life Grove without the Boost Ball. This has the added risk of falling down Life Grove Tunnel without Boost, a potential run-killer if the runner isn't able to get back up quickly.
