The Shinespark is the charged jump maneuver that Samus can do after running at full speed, then by pressing down on the D-pad to hold the charge, then by preforming the dash move against a slope, and finally by jumping shortly after. This is first seen in Super Metroid. It really only needs to be used to view a secret message by Nintendo in Metroid Fusion. Samus can Shinespark horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
