Can someone tell me how to use morph ball in super metroid on snes emulator?

[futiqueessence]

Hello, I recently downloaded and installed the snes emulator for mac because I wanted to play the game 'super metroid'. The game functions well with the exception of one thing. I cannot seem to morph ball in it. I press down arrow twice and it doesn't work. Someone mentioned that i had to activate morph ball somehow but I don't know how. Can anyone please tell me? I really want to play this game. Thanks.

Have you found the Morph Ball power up yet?

No, but someone told me it was only in the GBA metroid games that you had to acquire the morph ball and that in super metroid you already have it. If not, where do I find it?

I've never played Super Metroid, when I saw your post, I glanced at one of the 50 FAQs for the game on GameFAQs to see how you used the Morph Ball and saw mention of acquiring the power up first. I'd suggest looking there for any game play help you need.

The only Metroid game I've played is the original for NES but even in it you had to acquire the Morph Ball, it's just that it was within a few feet of where you start.
