I was today years old when I found out this was truly possible

Ok, admit it, how many of us tried to bomb jump over this thing as a kid/back when MP1 came out? I know I did and thought for sure it was video game cliche 101: the invisible wall. Plus I was playing through the version that had most of the sequence breaks still in.  Everyone's heard of the early space jump, the Plasma beam early, spiderball skip, but this is the first time I've ever heard of let alone seen someone PROVE you can in fact BOMB JUMP TO PHAZON MINES!!
Does that theoretically mean you could beat Prime 1 without ever getting Gravity Suit? I wonder if she'd still have it in the end cutscene...someone pls attempt it for research purposes. SCIENCE TEAM DEMANDS IT! Lmfaoo

But seriously confirming this sequence break means I can include this sequence break in my 2D Prime style remake, I'm thinking of doing an optional route for veteran players to storm Phazon Mines early in the game for low% speedruns since there's so many items in the game and some im sure I'll end up being optional if you're good at wall jumps and IBJs. :P

This skip has been public for a while, lol. Metroid2002, the site that initially used to host the Metroid romhacks stuff, had this skip shown.
