M2SW# 2

To enter this world, you'll need to be at the second to last ruin in the game (that has the Screw Attack). Go inside the ruin, to where the save point is.
Now, go to the vertical shaft (that is scattered with blocks) to the right.
Turn into a ball. Allow yourself to fall down the left side of the shaft and do the select trick. You will (guaranteed) have to do it more that once, but keep trying!
Once you do manage to open up a hole, press down to morph into a Spider Ball to break your fall on side of the wall before you fall too far and lose sight of the hole.
Roll upwards and into the hole, and pass through. Voila! You've found your way in! But you're not totally in yet.
You've entered a large (and quite repetitive) area that has bits of Chozo Statues all over in it. There's more than one entrance to this area, but this is the best way that I know of to get in.
From the room you have just entered, Space Jump left for two screens (when the screen has scrolled left twice).
Then, fall down for a few screens. Position yourself where you can fall through the holes in the top of each screen.
Fall for a few screens, then you'll end up in a shadow of the outside of the ruin in which you entered this world!
You're on your own from here! But first, let me tell you where you can save your progress. As you land in front of that ruin, go down as far right as you can without scrolling the screen right, and all the way at the bottom (the bottom right corner of the area).
Now let yourself fall down to the next screen as a ball, and hold down the RIGHT buttonon the directional pad. Now if you do this right, you'll end up in the passage above a shadow of the second ruin (that has the Varia).
Now go all of the way left, and let yourself fall. While falling, follow the left wall. When you hit ground, go right.
Go right some more, to where that big lake (?) would be. While being careful not to fall to far, land yourself on one of those save point blocks. You can save your progress here, and explore on your own from this point!

I hope that you can manage to find your way into and around this world easily! This Secret World has <i>shadows</i> of all the ruins in the game! But beware, because you can lose the secret world once you enter a ruin. Some areas of this world kinda give off a feel of Brinstar...

If you have any questions or comments about this secret world, feel free to Email Me at agahnim@xoommail.com. I'm interested to know what you think or find.

Andy Schmidgall, who owns and maintains The Metroid 2 Maniac's Page (http://homepage.dave-world.net/~rogers/metroid/metroid.html), has seen some areas of this world before I have. So, I wont take any credit for it.
