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 special technique and a secondary ability of the [[Speed Booster]], which was first introduced in ''[[Super Metroid]]'' by the [[Dachora]]. It allows [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to fly in any direction. It is often used to save time, obtain items which can't be reached otherwise, break through [[Boost Block|certain block]]s, or reach previously impossible-to-explore areas.


==Obtaining the Shinespark==
==Usage==
Samus can use the Shinespark in ''Super Metroid'' as soon as she obtains the [[Speed Booster]]. It is not necessary to see the [[Dachora]] as players can figure out the technique without help. 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]]''. It is required to progress through ''Other M'', so it is explained by [[Adam]].
In order to use the Shinespark, Samus must first run until she speed boosts. Once this is achieved, Samus must crouch, enabling her to store the {{wp|potential energy}}, which in turn can be used to propel her in one of five directions: left, diagonal left, up, diagonal right, or right. (In ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', these directions are translated as vertical or any direction.) Samus will then Shinespark in the direction that has been selected. This can be performed in [[Morph Ball]] mode in ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' and ''[[Metroid Dread]]'' when Samus acquires the [[Hi Jump Boots|Hi-Jump]]. In ''Metroid: Zero Mission,'' ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', and ''Metroid Dread'', if Samus Shinesparks directly toward a sloped surface, she will continue speed boosting. This technique can be useful to reach seemingly impossible-to-reach areas.


== Using the Technique ==
In ''Super Metroid'' alone, performing a Shinespark causes Samus to rapidly lose [[energy]] as long as she performs the move.
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.


== Secret Message ==
===Secret Message===
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 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.
