The '''Shinespark''' is a secret technique introduced in ''[[Super Metroid]]'' by the [[Dachora]], allowing [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to use the dash of the [[Speed Booster]] in any direction and form. It is often used to save time, obtain items which can't be reached otherwise, break through certain blocks, or reach previously impossible to explore areas. | The '''Shinespark''' is a secret technique introduced in ''[[Super Metroid]]'' by the [[Dachora]], allowing [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to use the dash of the [[Speed Booster]] in any direction and form.

==Obtaining the Shinespark== | |||
Samus can use the Shinespark in ''Super Metroid'' once the Dachora teach Samus how to use it. In other games, Samus learns it once she obtains the Speed Booster. This means defeating [[Kraid]] in ''Zero Mission'', [[Serris]] in ''Metroid Fusion'', and reaching an ice wall breakable only using the Speed Booster in [[Sector 2 (Cryosphere)]] in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. | |||

In order to use the Shinespark, Samus must first run until she enters the Speed Booster dash. Once dashing, Samus must crouch, enabling her to enter the Shinespark. After crouching, Samus must jump and move in one of five directions: right, left, up, diagonally right, or diagonally left. Samus then speeds in the chosen direction with the same effect as Speed Boosting Samus. In [[Super Metroid]] Samus will take damage if she attempts to Shinespark. This does not occur in any other game. In [[Metroid: Zero Mission]] and [[Metroid Fusion]], if Samus boosts directly into a sloped ledge, instead of stopping Samus will continue running in a Speed Boost form. This technique can be useful to reach seemingly impossible to reach areas. In Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus may Shinespark in [[Morph Ball]] mode once the [[Spring Ball]] is acquired. | In order to use the Shinespark, Samus must first run until she enters the Speed Booster dash.

In ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', a secret message can be viewed if Samus utilizes the Shinespark to skip a necessary item. Once entering a Navigation Room, a secret conversation between [[Adam Malkovich]], Samus, and a Galactic Federation official will commence. The message mentions Samus's expert use of the Shinespark. Interestingly, there is an alternate method of achieving the secret message without utilizing the Shinespark, but the message will still treat Samus as if she has used the it. | In ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', a secret message can be viewed if Samus utilizes the Shinespark to skip a necessary item.

|} In ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime's]]'' data, there are two images depicting logbook images of Samus performing a Speed Boost and a Shinespark. Nothing in-game, however can be scanned to reveal these images. Therefore, it has been speculated that [[Retro Studios]] initially planned to have the Speed Booster and Shinespark in the game, but removed the feature, possibly due to complications, as it did not appear in either of the following [[Metroid Prime (series)|''Prime'']] games. | |||
