lol hopefully it'll have mp3esque controls, after RE4 and supposedly RE:UC it looks like third parties are getting the controls down better.

There's Mario strikers on the bumper stickers?

I bought them, but I don't see a SMS one.

I've been able to get through this without any help so far but I think I'm stuck now.

I'm at 99% and was just told that if I go forward I won't be able to go back. So I'm definatley at the end now. I have all the tanks and 250 missles so I think I have "everything". But I looked through the maps and don't see a white dot for the last item.

The only area I haven't been too or at least don't think I've is a square on Bryyo above the thorn jungle airdock. How do I get there?

Uhhh. You should have 255 missiles. Do you have the map for the pirate homeworld? Go back to the chozo observatory on Elysia and use the x-ray visor with the nova beam to shoot past that little phazite plate that's on the bomb sized opening of the reactor in the middle of the room. Also you won't get a map for Valhalla so make sure you got all the missles from there. I think you get 2 missile upgrades from the Valhalla.

Sorry, don't know how to do that black background for spoilers.

Yes I have the pirate map so the upgrade I'm missing must be from Valhalla.Which is the only place I don't have a map for. :/

I dont know how to do the anti spoiler thing either. However if you have 250 missiles and if you can't find the last white dot, then the missile is in either two places. First it might be in the valhalla although if you have beaten it completely then you probably have that one. The second place is in BRYO IN THE ICE WORLD. You can't bring up the map unless you actually go there I believe. The ice world has like 3 or 4 rooms but it has two missile expansions and one energy tank. Check the map for Ice BRYO carefully

dude, that's good advice, i never would've thought of that. Though once you're there you do get the white dots, so if you go there it shouldn't be too hard to find anything.

I knew it wasn't on the ice world because I had already been there. It was on Valhalla like I suspected. I just put on the
X-ray visor and ran around. I was missing the one in the elevator shaft.

For spoilers just type
Zero Suit Samus is in Brawl [/spoiler*] without the asterisk. Or you can use go advanced highlight the text and click the spoiler tag button. It's the laast one to the right.

Now that I beat the game I can see what the heck you guys have been talking about.

Oh yeah, my final time was 16:35 which suprised me becase I felt like I spent a lot of time just wandering around.

@Buzz, you died!? I never died once, I thought the boss battles were pretty easy. The closest I came to dying was when I beat the first boss with 7 health left.

The only time I died was with the 1st seed boss, the one with the red spheres, I tought u had to take him down using hypermode, meaning only phazon attacks can take down the spheres, after I died for over use of HM I found out I can take them down with normal beam...

and thats it I think...

I beat the game in 11:15

Most of the bosses were really easy. I only struggled on the final boss. Sometimes people catch onto the quick victory tactics, and I don't. Other times, it is reversed. I've beaten certain games bosses that I thought were a breeze, but everyone else thought the boss was insanely difficult. I guess personality comes into play here. >_<

Just died for the first time vs the red balls dude. What a lamer. I got 2 generators but he was just wearing me down, and I really didn't pick up enough health in the beginning. Fun game anyway.

I died twice, once on the first boss for overusing hypermode and then for being dumb and thinking the acid rain wouldn't hurt that much... >.<

Two words: ****** Batteries. I spent a bunch on the expansions in the ruins of the ship, and it cost me sooo much time. Great game though.

yeah you were talking about how hard the final was?

I found on the last form the easiest way to deal lots of damage was to fire as many shots as you could at it while it was doing the spin attack. after like two hits it would be stunned just as if you had shot the thing that came down under the head when it was in the air, but the stun lasted like ten times longer. It reminded me of the first boss in LoZ: OoT. You were supposed to shoot its eyer when it turned red adn hit it while stunned. Then it would go to the ceiling and lay eggs which you had to kill. However i discoverd that when it started laying eggs it's eye turned red, so you could shoot it down and it would be stunned for an insanely long time, enoguh to kill it on the first time.

Volrec, I sent you a Friend Voucher a long time ago because none of my names were black at the time and I thought it was just messed up. Did you get it?

I got killed by the acid rain once too, every other time it didn't seem like it did that much damage...
Almost at the end. I'm right before the final seed, just trying to get all of the scans and expansions.

Is G.F.S. Valhalla actually mandatory in beating the game? I just finished that area and am wondering what I got at the end of it is necessary or not.

Yes. Part of it is mandatory, you get something called the pirate code, which lets you take control of the leviathan and go to the planet phazze where dark samus is

I've always felt that Metroid Primes' higher difficulty setting is the way the game is meant to be played. The fights need to be scary and hard to win. The easy modes just Samus seem like a freakin' goddess (even though she is). ^_^

I completley agree. I love playing Hypermode and dying every 15 or so min., It really makes me feel like I have to be good to win.

Sounds like a blast, I think it's time to stop mucking around in veteran mode and see what Metroid's really about.

On a similar note, if anyone here's played the original Metroid, did you guys just memorize a choreography for all the variants of each kind of room and just explore, like I did, or was it reaction time and skill?

I WILL.

10chars.

*agrees with most of the things you said in your(deviantart) paragraph*
I've no idea what 10chars means, but for every voucher you send, I will send an equal amount. I only have about 15 though.
Also, would you mind if I deleted your name from my Wii Friend List after we're done? I'd prefer to only have my real life friends on that list.

OK, I understand.

(you need 10 characters or letters in your posts or the system won't let you well, post it. That's why I said 10chars.)

I have teh 20 friend vouchers ;)

I've added your name to my Wii Friend list. Let me know when you've done the same.
