TRIPLE BOMB JUMPING

(Thanks: akiraZ, Banks17)

Required: Morph Ball Bombs
Patience...

1 video available for this trick!

The idea of triple bomb jump (tbj) started early after release of MP, in the gamefaqs board for it. akiraZ had found a way to go higher than you can with double bomb jumping, but when he told everyone about it and linked to a video capture of him doing a basic tbj, not many people seemed to care or realize what it could do. But some, like me, wondered that if the technique was refined, would it be possible to get items out of order, skip items entirely, and do all sorts of insane things like what's possible in Super Metroid.

More people slowly began talking about it over time. CUBEfreaK was one person who kept tbj discussion alive and came up with his own way of triple bomb jumping. I also had one, but we aren't sure if these methods were good enough to get anything done. The discovery frenzy didn't start until Banks17 came up with another tbj method and managed to get up the spider ball track in the Furnace that I repeatedly mentioned before... except he didn't have the Spider Ball.

Banks' triple bomb jump is accomplished like so:

1st bomb - with a full stock, put down a bomb and let it blast you into the air.

2nd bomb - as soon as you land, put down your second bomb.

3rd bomb - right before the second bomb explodes, put down your third bomb as if you were doing a double bomb jump. The bomb has to be placed before your stock refills or you won't have enough bombs to complete the triple bomb jump.

4th bomb - after the second bomb explodes, put this one at the peak of your jump.

5th bomb - after the third bomb explodes, put this one just below the fourth bomb. Make sure you put it down while you're still ascending, not at the peak of the jump or on the way down.

6th bomb - after the fourth bomb explodes and knocks you back up, place the last bomb near the peak of your jump while you're still ascending; do it about 80% of the way up.

If the timing of everything was correct, you will fall down into bomb 5 after placing bomb 6, which explodes and propels you to bomb 6, which explodes and gives you almost double the height of a double bomb jump.

The timing of bomb 5 and 6 is tricky, so it's not unusual to have problems getting bomb 5 to hit you, and problems with bomb 6 hitting you after bomb 5 does.
