This feature is not present in Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Zero Mission, or Metroid Dread. In Super Metroid, when Samus uses the Shinespark, her speed increases. Once she has stopped spinning, attempting to jump again will activate the Shinespark again, the Shinespark can fly in any of the five previously mentioned directions. After spin jumping into the air, she must look up, down, or fire a beam to stop the spin. In order to do this, she must store a Speed Booster charge as usual. Samus can also Shinespark in mid-spin jump. A charge expires after five seconds if not used. While Samus cannot fire any beams while doing a Shinespark, a charged beam can be maintained during a Shinespark in Metroid: Zero Mission. This may be avoided by performing a Spin Jump, which does not activate the technique.

Once she has stored a charge by crouching, Samus may stand up and move around as usual with the exception of jumping normally, which will activate the Shinespark. The process must not be interrupted if the Shinespark is to be performed successfully.

When jumping, Samus can choose to aim the Shinespark in one of five directions these directions are left, diagonal up-left, up, diagonal up-right, and right. 3.4 Metroid: Other M On-Screen TutorialĪ Shinespark is performed by activating the Speed Booster, crouching, and then jumping.
