The game was also notable for featuring a female main character in a time when the vast majority of games relegated female characters to variations on the "damsel in distress" role. Fighting "Mother" Brain, who may or may not have been the leader of the pirates. Kazawa admits the glitch worlds were not glitches at all.
One other major sound change was to the "countdown alarm" when Mother Brain dies: in the FDS version, it's a loud screeching siren, and in the NES version, it's a slightly soft "whoop whoop" sound.
Not to be confused with the Bomb Jump technique which propels Samus up while she's in ball form through the timed placement of bombs, this is a move that's useful when you need to make a jump that's a bit higher than you can jump on your own... 1) Roll into a ball and set a bomb 2) Stand up before the bomb detonates. DO NOT MOVE after you stand! 3) Let the explosion propel you up. 4) As long as Samus is in the standing position, she can jump.
