 While the skip has been proven to be possible without the use of TAS, the community has banned the use of 30hz arm pumping while leaving the room to perform this skip. This is to protect the accessibility of the game to current and new runners.

 == Introduction ==
-To this day, an oft-asked question by those unfamiliar with the inner workings of Super Metroid is whether it is humanly possible to avoid the Bomb Torizo encounter in a similar manner to a [[Tool Assisted Speedruns|tool assisted speedrun]]. Although such is possible on the PAL version of the game - due to the differences in the speed of the environment relative to Samus - it is physically impossible for a person to do so on the NTSC version of the game.

-To help convey how physically impossible this is, below is an explanation of how tool assisted speedruns ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlpcMQ6JKzU&t=6m39s specifically, those of Sniq]) skip the encounter on the NTSC version.

 *Walljump check on the right frame afterward - whether or not this would even be successful at this point is a 50% chance due to door timer oscillation
-Hopefully this has helped you understand why this sequence break will never be performed unassisted by a human on the NTSC version of the game. It is simply not physically possible.

 Bomb Torizo will flash white when he has taken damage, and has a slightly longer invulnerability period than most enemies. Pay attention to this, and make sure to keep your shots spaced out appropriately, so that you never end up miscounting shots during the fight.

 One example of an opening setup is shown here. Position Samus so that the "spike" in the background texture is just behind her. This position does not need to be pixel-perfect, there is some leeway.

		+	The fastest known strat is shown [https://clips.twitch.tv/DignifiedEsteemedJayOhMyDog in this video] -- if you're morphed in a pixel-perfect position at the start of the fight, BT will jump back without you having to move. Then you can fire four beam shots after BT lands (hitting BT while it's midair will cause it to freeze for a few frames), shoot the orbs, then fire a fifth beam shot as you jump up to grab the missile drops. Then as normal, fire four missiles, grab more drops, and fire three missiles.

 Right when the Boss Music starts playing, fire a shot and tap right in quick succession. Pressing those buttons on the same frame will shoot right instead of up-right, which could go under BT during the jump.
