If you defeat Metroid Prime's second form with 74% or less items,
the intermission sequence will show you losing your Phazon suit
and the Artifact Temple about to explode. After Samus calls her
ship and jumps onto it, you will hear a voice saying that the
Chozo's were right to believe in Samus. After that, you will see
Samus just about to remove her helmet and it starts the credits.

Hints: Classic Metroid: Play as Samus with bonus weapons:
Press Z at the main menu, then enter 'JUSTIN
BAILEY ------ ------'
as a password. You will begin the game
with all the power-ups, and Samus will not be wearing her suit.
Press
Z
to equip the missiles and she will have blonde
hair; she will have brown hair without them equipped.
Hints: Phazon Mines: Regain health and missiles:
A good way to regain health and missiles is in the
ventilation shaft towards the beginning of the second floor. When
you enter, poison will start coming in from the ceiling as well
as Puffers. Go past the gas and stand in the hall just before
the exit. If you stand close enough to the door, the poison will
not harm you and you can easily kill the Puffers that keep appearing.
When you kill one, you can use the Charge Beam to bring the power-ups
to you.
Hints: Classic Metroid Harder game:
Press Z at the main menu, then enter '999999
999999 KKKKKK KKKKKK'
as a password.
Hints: Electrocute birds:
To electrocute birds, shoot them with the Wave Beam.
Hints: Dash jumps:
To get out of the way quicker than a normal dash, quickly
tap
Bx2. To do a Dash-Space Jump, tap
Bx3. These
jumps will get Samus out of the way much faster than a normal
dash. This trick is especially helpful when you are fighting most
of the Bosses that move very fast, such as Meta Ridley, Thardus,
and Flaaghra.
Hints: Classic Metroid: Samus without suit:
Successfully complete the classic Metroid game under two hours to view Samus without her suit during
the
ending sequence.
Hints: Defeating Elite Pirates:
When the Elite Pirates burst out of containment, switch
to your normal beam and build up a charge shot. When the Elite
is not trying to absorb energy, fire a Super Missile at them.
Two Super Missiles will take them down.
Use the following tactics to defeat the different kinds of Elite
Pirates at the Phazon Mines. This is a very difficult area due
to switching beams for certain pirates:
Power Troopers
Use Normal Beams or charge a Normal Beam at it three to four
times. Alternately, use charged Power Beam shots or Super Missiles.
Pursue from a distance if possible, as Power Troopers cannot exactly
be stunned.
Wave Troopers
Use Wave Beams or charge a Wave Beam at it [two to four times].
Alternately, use charged Wave Beam shots while locked on to the
target. Do not be tempted to use the Wavebuster combo, as you
would only be wasting missiles.
Ice Troopers
Use Ice Beams or charge an Ice Beam at it and finish it with
one missile. You can keep using charged Ice Beam shots on solitary
units if desired to preserve your missile supply.
Shadow Pirates
Use the Thermal Visor to see them. Use Wave Beams or charge
a Wave Beam at it at full force [two to four times]; or, fire
with ease with the Plasma Beam.
Plasma Troopers
Fire at them with your Plasma Beam three or four times. Hide
behind a wall and the Plasma Beam will end up finishing them with
its burning effect. Do this to other pirates as well, even though
they only need about three shots to be killed, only about one
will evaporate them if you just wait patiently. Note: As long
as they are engulfed in flames, they will keep taking damage.
Note: All Trooper types can be killed instantly if they get caught
in a Power Bomb blast. This tactic is particularly useful when
they appear during the Omega Pirate battle, especially under the
hard difficulty setting.
Use the following trick to kill Air and Water Pirates quickly.
If you have the Ice Beam and Charger Beam, you can kill them easily.
One shot with the Ice Beam will freeze them for a few seconds.
This may require a few shots because they sometimes try to dodge
your shots. You can then either shoot them with the Ice Beam until
they die [four or five shots], shoot a Charged Ice Blast [Charger
Beam required] which will kill them in one or hits, or shoot a
missile. This will save a lot of time and health.
When you enter the first room with the Space Pirates after the
timer sets off, wait thirty seconds and an explosion will kill
all the pirates on the lower part of the room.
When a Pirate shoots a weapon that is not a really fast beam,
hold
L
and move left for the first shot, then right for
the next. Moving the same way does not work well because you run
into things.
This trick can be used anywhere that you see a Pirate that can
be killed with any beam weapon, except for the special Troopers
[Wave, Ice, Power, and Plasma Troopers]. When Samus encounters
a Space Pirate, charge your Wave Beam and lock on to them. Fire
the charged Wave Beam at the Pirate then quickly change to the
Plasma Beam. Fire an uncharged Plasma Beam while the Pirate is
still being electrocuted. It will catch on fire, and will remain
on fire and still be electrocuted so that they cannot fire their
weapons. This works best when there are many Pirates in the area,
so that you can get to the others quicker. The Pirate will not
be able to move and will burn to death. If you are close to the
Pirate when it falls, it will explode and you will take damage.
Use the following trick to kill flying Pirates without taking
a lot of damage. After they shoot missiles, lock on and shoot
them with a super missiles. Note: If you do not use Super Missiles,
they will crash down and you will take a lot of damage. After
you destroy one, hide. Note: If you shoot one with another one
behind it or close to it, you will blow them both up.
Note: This trick requires the Ice Beam and an abundance of missiles.
When you encounter a pirate, lock on to him with
L
and
have your Ice Beam ready. Next, make sure that you have a clear
shot of your target. When you are ready, fire the Ice Beam and
keep locked your target locked so that you can fire your missile.
This should shatter the pirate as soon as it hits. This maneuver
works on the following opponents: Space Pirates, Flying Pirates,
Aqua Pirates, Ice Troopers, Metroids, and Hunter Metriods.
Hints: Chozo Ruins: Artifacts:
When Chozo Ghosts appear, it may be for a fight or
an artifact. Sometimes when you visit a certain area, Chozo Ghosts
appear because there is an artifact in the room [for example,
Flaaghraa's fight room]. Defeat the Chozo Ghosts by using the
X-Ray Visor. Fight them with either charged Power Beam shots or
two Super Missiles. When they are destroyed, collect the artifact.
Hints: Samus' gets bored:
Allow the game to idle for a few seconds. Samus will
fiddle with her arm cannon, and eventually do something that resembles
taking a nap. Try this with the thermal and x-ray visor for a
better effect.
Hints: Defeating Omega Pirate:
First, blow away his Phazon armor. He will turn invisible
and probably unleash some troopers. Ignore them and use X-Ray
vision to find Omega Pirate. He is quite vulnerable when he is
invisible. A charged blast will take away a good amount of his
energy. When he is dead, he will melt and the Phazon suit will
be yours.
The Omega Pirate is the third to last Boss. First, find the four
Phazon plates on the Omega Pirate's knees and shoulders. Shoot
them with Super Missiles or Charged Plasma shots. Once you break
all four plates, the Omega Pirate will become invisible and send
out troopers. If you are lucky, you will get Ice or Plasma Troopers.
Destroy them quickly, switch to your X-ray Visor, then look around.
Most likely, the Omega Pirate will still be invisible, except
for a few Phazon-filled veins and heart. Avoid the attacks from
him, and in time he will uncloak. You will have to repeat the
process.
When he charges up at a pool of Phazon, switch to Ice Beam and
charge. When it has completely charged, fire out using the Ice
Spreader [if available]. This will cause more damage, saving you
health and time.
When fighting the Omega Pirate, do not use Beam combos while he
is in vulnerable form. In fact, when he is visible, his favorite
weapon is the Energy Siphon. This allows him to deflect missiles
and use your power against you from Beam weapons. However, if
you shoot a charged Plasma Beam Shot from Omega Pirate's right
side [your left], it will run into one of his legs. Now, the best
place to shoot him is from behind [this requires precision], as
his armor is weaker there. When he calls down the Power Troopers,
look at what they are located. If they are Plasma or Ice, take
them down. Otherwise, kill yourself; as you will never kill them
in time. When you switch to X-ray vision, find Omega Pirate and
shoot two charged Plasmas at him while locked on, followed by
two single shots. He will disappear again. When he reappears,
shoot only one charged Plasma at him. If he disappears twice while
vulnerable, he will call down four Power Trioopers. Note: Before
you fight him, scan him while he is in the stasis tank, then run
back to the save point. After saving, go back. By doing this,
when you die you will not have to fight the Plasma Trooper again.
When you go in, he will jump out, When he does this, have your
Plasma Cannon ready and aim for a shoulder or a knee. Charge up
and when his hand is not glowing and shoot him. Two charged up
shots will destroy each shield. Make sure you have all your missiles.
When the other pirates show up, do a combo shot to kill them quickly.
For the white ones, charge up, freeze them, and fire a missile.
Then, switch to the X-ray visor, go to Plasma Cannon, and keep
shooting. He will then go to another place. With the X-ray visor
on, shoot him again. Note: This will call more pirates back. Stay
close enough to him so that he does not fire his bombs at you,
but not so close that he stomps on you. When you back up against
a wall, go into morph ball mode then charge and shoot to the other
side and repeat.
This trick may cost some health, but if you have all of your upgrades
[minus the Phazon Suit and your fourteenth Energy Capsule], this
should work quite fast. The Omega Pirate's main flaw is in his
armor plating. The two best weapons to use are the Super Missile
[recommended] and the charged Plasma Beam. When the battle begins,
immediately lock on to one of the four blue armor plates on the
Omega Pirate's shoulders or legs. Charge your Power Beam and prepare
to fire a Super Missile, all the while keeping your distance.
Do not fire until he is ready to attack, as he has the nasty ability
to suck up energy with his hand [Energy Siphon]. When he pounds
the ground to send out an energy wave, jump to avoid the attack
and respond with a Super Missile or charged Plasma Beam shot.
Whether or not this is successful depends on if you jumped or
not. Do not get to close to him or he will slap you across the
room. Also watch out for the Phazon puddles. After you have blown
away all four Phazon plates, The Omega Pirate will summon Beam
Troopers, then turn invisible. Activate your X-Ray Visor, and
if possible, ignore the whatever pirates appear while looking
for the Omega Pirate. When he appears, he will laugh and start
regenerating his Phazon armor. While he is doing this, continue
avoiding the little Pirates and start shooting the Omega Pirate
with Super Missiles. This should either kill him or bring his
health down enough to the point where a charge shot can kill him,
after you again take away his armor. Once he dies, he will melt
and you will collect the spoils of your victory. Proceed to find
the rest of the artifacts.
Have the Plasma Beam, charge it repeatedly, and attack him. Also,
walk in a circle. When he makes his attack, use the Space Jump
Boots and jump over them. Keep charging while you jump. Never
get too far or directly up at his feet. Stay close enough where
he does the Earth Wave attack. When all the Phazon plates are
gone and he calls his Trooper friends, shoot them for a while
until the Omega Pirate is at Phazon regenerating his plates. You
should hear a noise similar to when he reappears. Charge up the
Plasma Beam and shoot him once, then shoot him many times until
he switches to another Phazon field. While shooting him you need
to be running around. Shoot him again. When he appears again,
make him kill his Troopers by using the Earth Wave attack. Repeat
this strategy. Note: Always jump when he uses the Earth Wave attack.
When attacking the Omega Pirate's heart and veins, have the X-Ray
Visor on, move to the left and right, jump, and shoot, all at
the same time. Make the Omega Pirate kill his own allies and never
stop moving.
Hints: Defeating invisible Sentry Drone:
In the Phazon Mines, when you are in the room with
the second save point and are fighting the invisible sentry drone,
use the Wavebuster combo. Stand on one of the glowing blue platforms
[works well with the second from the top of the stage], fire it
off the platform and hold it. The drone will become electrocuted
to the point of self-destruction because it locks onto it, while
none of your other weapons can. Afterwards, you can get the Super
Bomb for the Morph Ball.
Hints: Glitch: Power Trooper stuck in platform:
Go to the Phazon Mines via Magmoor Caverns and look
down to see a Power Trooper. Charge a Super Missile and shoot
it at him. Most of the time it will knock him down, and he will
get stuck under the platform and will not stop jumping. You can
also jump down to him and shoot him until he dies.
Note: This trick happens in hard-mode and requires Chargeshot,
Supermissiles, Five Missiles, Spiderball, Morph Ball, and Space
Jump Boots. At Phazon Mines in the large room with a radioactive
floor and the many different colored space pirates [Phazon processing
center], enter from the bottom or middle [recommended] entrance.
Knock off or defeat the two troopers that are standing by the
crates and use the Spider Ball to travel up the left railing.
You will be fired at, but they will be easy to evade. At the end
of the rail, return to normal and go to the pillar. With your
Power Beam out, turn left, up, and fire a Super Missile at the
Power Trooper. If done correctly, he will fly back and land partially
under a platform. He will attempt to jump up, but will be stopped
by the platform. This glitch does not stop it from firing if you
are in front of it. However, if you go behind it, it is defenseless.
Hints: Exploding computer:
In the space vessel above Tallon IV, go to the first
Map Download station [with the parasites crawling in it]. Download
the map, then turn slightly left to see the first set of computers.
Charge your beam and fire. The computer should explode. Note:
This only can be done with one computer and none of the others.
Hints: Ruined Nursery: See Samus in mirror:
Scan the object on the wall near the door leading to
the North Atrium. The scan will indicate that it is a Ornate Wall
Hanging. Place Samus in front of this object, and you can see
her helmet as if she was looking into a mirror. These Ornate Wall
Hangings appear in other rooms besides this one.
Hints: Glitch: Unnoticed in window:
In Phendrana Drifts at Research Lab Aether, you will
see your first Metroid. An intermission sequence will start. Afterwards
instead of breaking the tank to continue, go to the window-like
opening. The Pirates on the other side will not see you. Note:
It is very difficult to get there in hard mode.
Hints: Get unreachable power-ups:
If energy or ammunition is out of your reach, aim and
charge your beam. The energy or ammunition will come to you.
Charging any arm cannon weapon will attract energy and missile
ammunition to you. However, different weapons have different reaches.
The default Power Beam seems to have the furthest reach, while
the Wave Beam seems to have the weakest. Keep this in mind when
some power-ups do not seem to come to you while using this technique.
Hints: Power Bomb expansion locations:
Chozo Ruins: Magma Pool
Magmoor Caverns: Warrior Shrine
Phendrana Drifts: Security Cave, Ice Ruins West
Hints: Defeating Flaahgra:
The trick is to knock down the light-reflecting mirrors
and bomb the plant away. At first, there is only one mirror that
reflects the light and helps grow the plant. Fire at Flaahgra
with normal fire rapidly until it is stunned; there is no need
for heavy firearms. It will not be able to attack you at all if
you stun it on time. After Flaahgra is stunned, run to the one
reflecting mirror and shoot the red target behind the mirror with
either a charge beam or only one missile. Flaahgra will shrink
and its spiky roots will vanish. Roll into a ball, go into where
the roots were protecting, and drop a bomb. The plant is killed,
but returns with two mirrors. Do the same thing with two mirrors,
then three mirrors, then finally four mirrors. After finally killing
Flaahgra, the Varia Suit is yours.
When you are facing Flaahgra, stun it, then fire at the dishes.
It is easier to fire at the one you are at, then strafe to the
side and hit the next one, whether it is directly in front or
off to the side, without going to the next one in line. You can
also hit a dish from any direction as long as you are hitting
the bottom where the red light would be. This is done easier while
Flaahgra is still stunned.
To easily keep Flaahgra from resetting the satellite radar dishes,
stun him by shooting lots of blasts, then trip the dish. As you
move to the next one. keep a lock on him and pester him with more
gunfire. When the shots begin to make him turn yellow again, stop
and keep up the fire until he falls once more. Continue to the
dish and repeat as many times as necessary.
To defeat Flaahgra, you may need more than ten missiles. Shoot
a missile at the first mirror. Then, roll in as a morph ball and
bomb him. He will die, but will return. Stand in between the two
mirrors and fire. You must aim by holding
R
+
Analog-stick.
Proceed to bomb after you get the mirrors. On the third time,
stand behind the second mirror and fire at all three. Then, bomb.
The fourth time, do what you did in the third, except once you
are done move around and missile the last mirror. Bomb, then get
the Varia Suit.
Hints: Chozo Artifact locations:
Chozo Ruins: Sunchamber; Tower Chamber; Elder Chamber
Magmoor Caverns: Warrior Shrine; Lava Lake
Phazon Mines: Elite Research; Phazon Mining Tunnel
Phendrana Drifts: Control Tower; Storage Cave; Chozo Ice Temple
Tallon Overworld: Artifact Temple; Life Grove
Hints: Phazon Mines: Invisible to enemies:
Enter the Phazon Mines via Magmoor Caverns. Go through
the bottom floor until you reach the elevator, marked on the map
with a red arrow. Head through the mines until you reach the area
marked 'Omega Research'. Enter through the Dynamo Access,
but just jump straight up through the door, not forward or back.
Once you land, neither move nor shoot. If done correctly, none
of the Power Troopers will see you. Wait awhile, and eventually
one of the Power Troopers will enter the alcove that you are in.
He will look, then around and leave the alcove, never having noticed
you. He will continue to do this until you move or shoot one of
them. For extended laughs, charge your Power Beam [they will still
ignore you], wait for him to start looking around in the alcove,
then fire a Super Missile to blast him across the room. Note:
This will not work if you enter Omega Research from the other
direction.
Hints: Glitch: Keep health in contaminated water:
In the arboretum, go up the ramp until you get to the
block that is in your way. Note: This is not a sandstone block,
but the one before that. Attack and kill the War Wasps. If you
started in the room with 20 or less health, gather the power-ups
you earned with your Charge Beam and jump off the side. You should
have 80% to 99% when you hit the bottom. However, if you go through
the contaminated water, you will have the same amount off health
that you came in with, but only a little more.
Hints: Classic Metroid: Refill energy easily:
Go to a pipe that has enemies constantly appearing
at ground level with no other enemies around. Just keep shooting
and the enemies will fly into your bullets, leaving energy and
other items.
Hints: Defeating Baby Sheegoths:
To defeat a Baby Sheegoth, after it charges at you,
shoot its back shell until it bursts up then shoot its back.
Double jump to the side of a Baby Sheegoth. They will stare at
you for a few seconds. As you are already behind them, just fire
two missiles and kill them after that.
A Charged Plasma Beam will disintegrate a Baby Sheegoth.
It is better to do this with the Plasma Beam but it also can be
done with any other. Lock on to the Baby Sheegoth and charge your
Plasma Beam. When it gets very close, double jump and release
A.
Hints: Defeating Metroid Prime:
When you fight the second form of Metroid Prime and
step in his blue Phazon puddles, enter Hyper Mode and attack with
the Phazon Beam. No other weapons will defeat him. However, he
releases progressively harder Metroids when he lays down Phazon,
starting with Larva, moving to Hunter, then Fission Metroids.
Dispatch these much as you would a Beam Pirate, with charged shots
of the appropriate color. Do not let them latch onto you.
The final Boss is difficult because of the Metroids it releases.
You can easily destroy them by entering the Phazon Puddle and
blasting them with the Hyper/Phazon Beam.
Use the following trick to kill Metroid Prime's second form under
either the easy or hard difficulty setting. As you first enter
the battle, scan it immediately so you do not have to deal with
it later. The easiest way under the hard difficulty setting us
to always have the Ice Beam equipped no mater what the circumstance.
After Metroid Prime keeps doing the shockwaves and changes its
appearance, it will eventually send out a Phazon Pool. Jump into
it and blast Metroid Prime with all you have got. After awhile,
it will start making Phazon Pools and releasing no more than two
Metroids. Shoot the two Metroids with a charged shot, then shoot
them with a pair of missiles. Sometime after you do some damage
to Metroid Prime, it will then release two Hunter Metroids. Deal
with them the same way you did the normal Metroids. When Metroid
Prime sends out the Fusion Metroids, get into the Morph Ball and
release a Power Bomb to take them out.
Metroid Prime is an extremely difficult Boss. Before battling,
have at least have the Wavebuster, Ice Spreader, 150 or more missiles,
and all of the energy tanks. Having plenty of Power Bombs is also
recommended. Metroid Prime has two different phases. You will
be battling Metroid Prime through four subchambers in the first
phase. He will attack with a mouth-type-beam weapon, a grapple-beam-type
weapon that pulls you in [so he can hurt you by swiping his forelegs],
homing missiles, chemical missiles, an ice attack similar to that
used by Thardus, and energy orbs that deal massive damage [but
can quickly be disposed of by any beam attack]. He will change
into random colors that make him vulnerable to the appropriate
beam weapon. When he is yellow, use your Power Beam and hit him
with two Super Missiles. After you hurt him enough, he will turn
black and charge across the room. Note: He will charge and change
color at any time in the fourth and final subchamber. When that
happens, use your Morph Ball and drop into one of the cracks in
the ground. He will not charge as far in the first subchamber;
you will not have to worry about using the Morph Ball. After he
charges, he will change into a different color. When he is purple,
take the Wave Beam, get fairly close to him, and use the Wavebuster
until you hurt him enough. When he is white, get your Ice Beam
and shoot with one Ice Spreader combo, then shoot at him with
normal Ice Beam shots. When he is red, take out the Plasma Beam
and just keep shooting normal shots while dodging his attacks.
You can try to get close enough to use the flamethrower if you
have it, but he will strike you with his forelegs. Metroid Prime's
second phase is much less complex than the first. Lock on to him
immediately. The only attack he uses is to create a wave-like
blast that just shoots out in a ring shape. The first time he
uses that attack, all the pillars in the room will fall apart.
Use the Charge Beam to bring in any power-ups that came out of
them. Then, just release the charge. He is not vulnerable to any
conventional beam weapon. After a while, it will appear as if
he is releasing blue matter out of his tentacles. A pool of Phazon
forms directly under him, then Metroid Prime seems to have disappeared.
Remember where the pool of Phazon just appeared. Switch to the
X-Ray visor and lock on to him again. Try to step into the small
Phazon pool that he made. When you are in it, your gun will automatically
change to the Phazon Beam. The message 'Hyper Mode'
will appear. Hold
A
and the beam will fire a continuous
stream of Phazon at Metroid Prime. The Phazon pool will eventually
disappear, and you will have to repeat the process. Whenever he
disappears, he always is visible through each visor in the same
pattern: Combat, X-Ray, Thermal, Combat, etc. Sometimes he may
disappear without leaving a Phazon pool. Later when he disappears,
Metroid Prime will also summon a pair of Metroids of any kind.
It could be a pair of normal Metroids, a pair of Hunter Metroids,
or a pair of Fission Metroids. When they appear, go into Morph
Ball mode. Roll between them and drop a Power Bomb. If done correctly,
it should kill both Metroids. If you run out of Power Bombs before
you defeat Metroid Prime, use an Ice Beam followed by a missile.
This however, will not help if they are Fission Metroids.
Use the following trick to kill Metroid Prime's Metroids faster.
At the battle between you and Metroid Prime's second form, it
sometimes releases different types of Metroids when it makes the
blue Phazon pools. This makes it extremely difficult for Samus
to shoot Metroid Prime with her Phazon Beam as the Metroids will
not let you shoot it if they latch onto you. This trick works
best on the Hunter and Fission Metroids that Metroid Prime releases.
When it makes the pool of Phazon, get into the pool as quickly
as you can. Then, shoot a tiny amount at the Metroids that it
released. They will blow up, and you can get to Metroid Prime
much easier because the Phazon Beam kills them in one hit. Alternately,
use a Power Bomb and they will also blow up. Make sure that you
use the Power Bombs wisely. If Metroid Prime does not make a pool
of Phazon, no Metroids will appear. This will save you a lot of
health, especially in Hard Mode, as the Metroids sap much more
energy.
When you are fighting the second form of Metroid Prime, it releases
different types of Metroids. The first types start at infant Metroids,
then Hunter Metroids, and finally Fission Metroids. When Metroid
Prime releases its second little pool of Phazon, the Metroids
will appear. When this happens, get into the pool of Phazon quickly.
The Metroids will try to latch onto you. Before this happens,
shoot the Phazon Beam at them and they will blow up instantaneously,
so that you can shoot Metroid Prime faster. If the Metroids do
latch onto you, go into Morph Ball mode and lay a Power Bomb [not
a regular Bomb], because this will allow the other Metroid to
hit you and take your energy. This will save you a lot of health
and time.
Hints: Plasma Beam:
Enter the Triclops Pit from the Lava Lake side. Walk
forward, then look to the right with the X-Ray Visor. You will
see a floating platform. Leap to it, then jump to two more platforms
and look around until you see a Missile Expansion. Use a Super
Missile to destroy the rock encasing the expansion, then hop over
and pick it up. Once you have the Grapple Beam, you can careen
through Magmoor Caverns with little concern about your own safety.
Use the new tool [and strategically placed grapple points] to
swing over lava pits easily. Jump to the other side of the Geothermal
Core, then look for platforms on the right-hand side of the wall
[assuming you are facing away from the twin fires area]. Jump
to the top, then use the Grapple Beam to swing to the pillar in
the middle of the room. Roll into the Spinner Device and twirl
with the Boost Ball until you raise the platform. Jump to the
other two platforms and repeat the process. Look for a Spider
Ball track on the third pillar. Roll up the track, then drop down.
Jump to the highest pillar in sight and plant a bomb in the Morph
Ball slot. Get on the Spider Ball track, then go through without
falling. The best way is to hold
R
and roll on the Spider
Ball track. If you need to go up, place a bomb. If you need to
go down, release
R, then immediately when it touches the
next track, hold
R
again. If you find enemies, lay a bomb
and stand back. It is better to destroy them than to avoid them.
Go through the door to the Plasma Processing room and get the
upgrade. Note: No bosses need to be defeated to get the Plasma
Beam, as it is left unguarded. It is a fire-based beam, and is
very effective on ice-based creatures.
work:
Go to the first part of the lab area with all the Shadow
Space Pirates, on the way to get the Gravity Suit. You will find
a large number of Shadow Pirates and a single Metroid in a tank.
Ignore the Pirates and shoot a single missile down at the tank.
If you can hit it, the Metroid will spring forth and start to
devour the Pirates quickly, saving you the trouble of wasting
time, ammunition, and health. Note: Do not get too close to the
Metroid or it will attack you instead.
Hints: Magmoor: Ice Spreader:
The Ice Spreader is difficult to find. It is in a room
called the Shore Tunnel in Magmoor that has a glass case. Use
the Power Bombs in the glass tube. The tube will shatter, and
the Ice Spreader is directly below.
Hints: Magmoor Caverns: Avoid streams of
Hints: Scanning objects:
You only need to scan creatures, Pirate data, Chozo
Lore, and computer terminals that activate things. If you are
not aiming for the fastest finish, you can scan everything.
Hints: Power Charge:
To use the Power Charge, hold
A
then release
it.
Hints: Defeating Sheegoth:
To defeat Sheegoth, immediately after it breathes gas,
aim with
L
and shoot two missiles. Repeat until it is dead.
When Sheegoth attacks, it may get worn out. If so, go to the side
of it and look by the mouth. There will be smoke. Aim there with
R
and fire a missile. If you run out of missiles, turn
into the Morph Ball and go to the side of it. Plant all three
bombs to the side. Repeat this until Sheegoth is defeated.
Rather than waste missiles shooting at the adult Sheegoth, simply
roll into the ball and drop bombs in front of its head. Keep rolling
back and fourth in front of it, continuously dropping bombs and
it will eventually die.
Get under Sheegoth and Powerbomb it.
Hints: Heat wave:
Shoot any beam weapon repeatedly for about thirty seconds.
When you stop, a heat wave can be seen in front of the arm cannon.

will be scattered all over Tallon IV. They can be found at the

he fires will be heard.

Hints: Chozo Ruins: Kill birds:
When you enter the Chozo Ruins, aim your gun skywards.
You will see birds flying. Shoot the birds and they will explode,
with feathers all over the place.
Hints: Phazon Core: Stop Metroids:
Use the following trick if you do not want to take
the trouble to destroy the Metroids in the Phazon Core, or do
not want to dodge them all the time. When they are charging, a
charged beam blast of the appropriate type will stop them. They
may not turn around and go back before they attack you again,
but it will stop them.
Hints: Samus's right hand:
The symbols for each of the different arm cannon functions
are actually the positions Samus has her right hand when you switch
to those appropriate functions. If you want to see her hand,
go where you can see an open area [for example, on top of Samus'
gunship looking at the door that goes to the Chozo Temple] and
switch to the x-ray visor. If you look at her arm cannon, you
will see her hand inside it. If you switch to the function that
is red and has all her fingers out, you can see her moving them
up and down. This is how she 'tells' her arm cannon
what function to go in.
Hints: Varia Suit:
After you defeat the Flaahgra, you will see an intermission
sequence. You will then be able to get the Varia Suit.
Hints: Fire missiles faster:
With the first gun equipped, rapidly hit
Y
+
A. As soon as the missile fires, the gun will switch
back to beam weapon mode, but when you hit
Y
again, it
fires another missile. This can take down enemies in a shorter
time, preventing them from having more attacks on you.
Hints: Shoot asteroids:
In the beginning of the game, immediately after getting
off your ship, there will be asteroids floating around above you.
You can shoot them for target practice.
