    I've already beat Mother Brain without taking damage twice, but the achievement is not being recognized. Somebody else has this issue?

    I reworked this achievement to stop using potentially dynamic RAM. It now starts at the climbing spot right before MB. Info: http://i.imgur.com/Jiepwko.png

    lol this is absolutely not easy, unless I'm missing an obvious safe spot or exploit haha

    you can stand on the platform mother brain is on once the glass breaks. Morph under the purple projectiles, freeze the orange ones

    can also break all the barriers and then go back and save again so resets are quicker.

    This one would be a lot more manageable if it started counting the moment you land on one of the platforms you fight from. Had too many resets from stray shots hitting me in the fall before I could land on them, it got annoying to reset before the fight even started. Also agreed, having the Screw Attack here is better for your mental health

    Starting when you hit the glass? More like starting when you enter the room, that's the only way I got it to trigger, by doing the entire room perfectly. It wasn't hard, like at all, but it was a bit annoying.

    Made change to achievement description to reflect logic. The achievement starts according to what the embedded photo shows, not when the player hits the glass of Mother Brain's tank.

    Worst fucking boss in the history of anything.

    Yeah - Samus keeps getting knocked off the platform and the area below has acid. I know screw attack can destroy anything but you can't use it while trying to aim missiles. Anyway, use Super Missiles first, then regular ones. If you run out of both you're pretty much screwed.
