Hint: Fire missiles faster:
With the first gun equipped, rapidly press Y+ A. As soon as the missile fires, the gun will switchback to beam weapon mode, but when you press Y again, itfires another missile. This can take down enemies in a shortertime, preventing them from having more attacks on you.

Hint: Extra missiles:
After destroying ceiling robots and other enemies,they will leave behind missile ammunition that can be collected.Save missiles to defeat the Parasite Queen easier.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Chozo Ruins: Wave Buster:
The Wave Buster can be found at the Tower Of Lightin the Chozo Ruins. Climb up the as far as you can, then scanthe pillars to learn that they can be destroyed. It takes threemissiles to destroy one pillar. There are four pillars on eachlevel. After you lower the temple, keep jumping and destroyingthe pillars until you reach the top to find the Wave Buster.

Hint: Chozo Ruins: Artifacts:
When Chozo Ghosts appear, it may be for a fight oran artifact. Sometimes when you visit a certain area, Chozo Ghostsappear because there is an artifact in the room (for example,Flaaghraa's fight room). Defeat the Chozo Ghosts by using theX-Ray Visor. Fight them with either charged Power Beam shots ortwo Super Missiles. When they are destroyed, collect the artifact.

Hint: Magmoor: Ice Spreader:
The Ice Spreader is difficult to find. It is in a roomcalled the Shore Tunnel in Magmoor that has a glass case. Usethe Power Bombs in the glass tube. The tube will shatter, andthe Ice Spreader is directly below.

Hint: Magmoor Caverns: Avoid streams offire:
Shoot the little objects that shoot out the fire withthe Ice Spreader. This freezes them and prevents them from shootingthe fire.

Hint: Phazon Core: Stop Metroids:
Use the following trick if you do not want to takethe trouble to destroy the Metroids in the Phazon Core, or donot want to dodge them all the time. When they are charging, acharged beam blast of the appropriate type will stop them. Theymay not turn around and go back before they attack you again,but it will stop them.

Hint: Phazon Mines: Invisible to enemies:
Enter the Phazon Mines via Magmoor Caverns. Go throughthe bottom floor until you reach the elevator, marked on the mapwith a red arrow. Head through the mines until you reach the areamarked "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, noneof the Power Troopers will see you. Wait awhile, and eventuallyone of the Power Troopers will enter the alcove that you are in.He will look, then around and leave the alcove, never having noticedyou. He will continue to do this until you move or shoot one ofthem. For extended laughs, charge your Power Beam (they will stillignore 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 otherdirection.

Hint: Phazon Mines: Flamethrower combo:
In the room next to the save point in the Phazon Mines:Main Quarry, is a red door with a force field in front of it.Continue upwards in this room, passing the ice and Wave Troopersto find a Bendezium wall just before the purple door exit. Afterobtaining the Power Bomb upgrade, use one to destroy the walland access the control panel with your scan visor. The force fieldwill drop. allowing you to pick up the power-up for the PlasmaBeam.

Hint: Phazon Mines: Regain health and missiles:
A good way to regain health and missiles is in theventilation shaft towards the beginning of the second floor. Whenyou enter, poison will start coming in from the ceiling as wellas Puffers. Go past the gas and stand in the hall just beforethe exit. If you stand close enough to the door, the poison willnot 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-upsto you.

Hint: Phendrana Drifts: Sheegoth helper:
Go to the Quentien cave, where Thardus was located.After you defeat him, a mother Sheegoth is all that is in there.Lure the Sheegoth near one of the ledges and kill it quickly (thePlasma Beam is recommended). Quickly jump onto the Sheegoth'sspikes then jump to the ledge. Do this quickly before the Sheegothfades. This saves you the time of doing the entire spider ballthing.

Hint: Ruined Nursery: See Samus in mirror:
Scan the object on the wall near the door leading tothe North Atrium. The scan will indicate that it is a Ornate WallHanging. Place Samus in front of this object, and you can seeher helmet as if she was looking into a mirror. These Ornate WallHangings appear in other rooms besides this one.

Hint: Space Pirates' base: See easier:
If you are having trouble seeing in the Space Pirates'base after the power goes out, even with the Thermal Visor, gointo Morph Ball mode. The Morph Ball generates its own light,making it easy to see. Note: Do not do this when there are stillenemies in the area.

Hint: 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 atyou for a few seconds. As you are already behind them, just firetwo 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 bedone with any other. Lock on to the Baby Sheegoth and charge yourPlasma Beam. When it gets very close, double jump and releaseA.

Hint: Defeating Chozo Ghosts:
Shoot two Super Missiles to kill Chozo Ghosts. Also,if you have the X-ray Scope, you can maintain a lock on them.

Hint: Defeating Elite Pirates:
When the Elite Pirates burst out of containment, switchto your normal beam and build up a charge shot. When the Eliteis 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 ElitePirates at the Phazon Mines. This is a very difficult area dueto switching beams for certain pirates:

Power Troopers
Use Normal Beams or charge a Normal Beam at it three to fourtimes. Alternately, use charged Power Beam shots or Super Missiles.Pursue from a distance if possible, as Power Troopers cannot exactlybe 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 thetarget. Do not be tempted to use the Wavebuster combo, as youwould only be wasting missiles.

Ice Troopers
Use Ice Beams or charge an Ice Beam at it and finish it withone missile. You can keep using charged Ice Beam shots on solitaryunits if desired to preserve your missile supply.

Shadow Pirates
Use the Thermal Visor to see them. Use Wave Beams or chargea Wave Beam at it at full force (two to four times); or, firewith ease with the Plasma Beam.

Plasma Troopers
Fire at them with your Plasma Beam three or four times. Hidebehind a wall and the Plasma Beam will end up finishing them withits burning effect. Do this to other pirates as well, even thoughthey only need about three shots to be killed, only about onewill evaporate them if you just wait patiently. Note: As longas they are engulfed in flames, they will keep taking damage.

Note: All Trooper types can be killed instantly if they get caughtin a Power Bomb blast. This tactic is particularly useful whenthey appear during the Omega Pirate battle, especially under thehard 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 dodgeyour shots. You can then either shoot them with the Ice Beam untilthey die (four or five shots), shoot a Charged Ice Blast (ChargerBeam required) which will kill them in one or hits, or shoot amissile. This will save a lot of time and health.

When you enter the first room with the Space Pirates after thetimer sets off, wait thirty seconds and an explosion will killall 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 forthe next. Moving the same way does not work well because you runinto things.

This trick can be used anywhere that you see a Pirate that canbe killed with any beam weapon, except for the special Troopers(Wave, Ice, Power, and Plasma Troopers). When Samus encountersa Space Pirate, charge your Wave Beam and lock on to them. Firethe charged Wave Beam at the Pirate then quickly change to thePlasma Beam. Fire an uncharged Plasma Beam while the Pirate isstill being electrocuted. It will catch on fire, and will remainon fire and still be electrocuted so that they cannot fire theirweapons. This works best when there are many Pirates in the area,so that you can get to the others quicker. The Pirate will notbe able to move and will burn to death. If you are close to thePirate when it falls, it will explode and you will take damage.

Use the following trick to kill flying Pirates without takinga lot of damage. After they shoot missiles, lock on and shootthem with a super missiles. Note: If you do not use Super Missiles,they will crash down and you will take a lot of damage. Afteryou destroy one, hide. Note: If you shoot one with another onebehind 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 andhave your Ice Beam ready. Next, make sure that you have a clearshot of your target. When you are ready, fire the Ice Beam andkeep locked your target locked so that you can fire your missile.This should shatter the pirate as soon as it hits. This maneuverworks on the following opponents: Space Pirates, Flying Pirates,Aqua Pirates, Ice Troopers, Metroids, and Hunter Metriods.

Hint: Defeating Flaahgra:
The trick is to knock down the light-reflecting mirrorsand bomb the plant away. At first, there is only one mirror thatreflects the light and helps grow the plant. Fire at Flaahgrawith normal fire rapidly until it is stunned; there is no needfor heavy firearms. It will not be able to attack you at all ifyou stun it on time. After Flaahgra is stunned, run to the onereflecting mirror and shoot the red target behind the mirror witheither a charge beam or only one missile. Flaahgra will shrinkand its spiky roots will vanish. Roll into a ball, go into wherethe 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 killingFlaahgra, 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 theside and hit the next one, whether it is directly in front oroff to the side, without going to the next one in line. You canalso hit a dish from any direction as long as you are hittingthe bottom where the red light would be. This is done easier whileFlaahgra 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 youmove to the next one. keep a lock on him and pester him with moregunfire. When the shots begin to make him turn yellow again, stopand keep up the fire until he falls once more. Continue to thedish and repeat as many times as necessary.

To defeat Flaahgra, you may need more than ten missiles. Shoota missile at the first mirror. Then, roll in as a morph ball andbomb him. He will die, but will return. Stand in between the twomirrors 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 youare done move around and missile the last mirror. Bomb, then getthe Varia Suit.

Hint: Defeating Incinerator Drone:
Shoot at it until its eye goes up. Before the eye comes,you can dodge the fire by running from it. Be careful, as thefire will sometimes change direction. Then, lock on to the eyewith L and shoot repeatedly. The fire shooter will go crooked.You can usually avoid the fire by jumping over the low part andgoing under the high part. After a short time, it will torch theWar Wasp hive above it, and War Wasps will appear. Kill enoughWar Wasps so that no more are attacking you for awhile, then shootthe drone. It will keep torching the hive intermittently. Keepdoing this until it is defeated.

Hint: Defeating invisible Sentry Drone:
In the Phazon Mines, when you are in the room withthe 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 itoff the platform and hold it. The drone will become electrocutedto the point of self-destruction because it locks onto it, whilenone of your other weapons can. Afterwards, you can get the SuperBomb for the Morph Ball.

Hint: Defeating Meta-Ridley:
To make the fight against Ridley easier, you must haveas many missiles as you can possibly find, the Super Missile Beamcombo, and the Wavebuster Beam combo. The battle can reduce aninventory of all 250 missiles down to about 25. During the firstpart when Ridley is flying, use the Super Missile Beam combo whenyou can get a clear shot as his chest. Then, when his wings burnup and you are forced to fight him melee style, switch to yourWave Beam and activate your Wavebuster combo to constantly shockhim. Do not release A until he is dead or you are out ofmissiles. Do not worry about depleting your missiles -- thereis a recharge station in the Impact Crater.

Hint: Defeating Metroid Prime:
When you fight the second form of Metroid Prime andstep in his blue Phazon puddles, enter Hyper Mode and attack withthe Phazon Beam. No other weapons will defeat him. However, hereleases 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 shotsof 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 andblasting them with the Hyper/Phazon Beam.

Use the following trick to kill Metroid Prime's second form undereither the easy or hard difficulty setting. As you first enterthe battle, scan it immediately so you do not have to deal withit later. The easiest way under the hard difficulty setting usto always have the Ice Beam equipped no mater what the circumstance.After Metroid Prime keeps doing the shockwaves and changes itsappearance, it will eventually send out a Phazon Pool. Jump intoit and blast Metroid Prime with all you have got. After awhile,it will start making Phazon Pools and releasing no more than twoMetroids. Shoot the two Metroids with a charged shot, then shootthem with a pair of missiles. Sometime after you do some damageto Metroid Prime, it will then release two Hunter Metroids. Dealwith them the same way you did the normal Metroids. When MetroidPrime sends out the Fusion Metroids, get into the Morph Ball andrelease 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 alsorecommended. Metroid Prime has two different phases. You willbe battling Metroid Prime through four subchambers in the firstphase. He will attack with a mouth-type-beam weapon, a grapple-beam-typeweapon that pulls you in (so he can hurt you by swiping his forelegs),homing missiles, chemical missiles, an ice attack similar to thatused by Thardus, and energy orbs that deal massive damage (butcan quickly be disposed of by any beam attack). He will changeinto random colors that make him vulnerable to the correspondingbeam weapon. When he is yellow, use your Power Beam and hit himwith two Super Missiles. After you hurt him enough, he will turnblack and charge across the room. Note: He will charge and changecolor at any time in the fourth and final subchamber. When thathappens, use your Morph Ball and drop into one of the cracks inthe ground. He will not charge as far in the first subchamber;you will not have to worry about using the Morph Ball. After hecharges, he will change into a different color. When he is purple,take the Wave Beam, get fairly close to him, and use the Wavebusteruntil you hurt him enough. When he is white, get your Ice Beamand shoot with one Ice Spreader combo, then shoot at him withnormal Ice Beam shots. When he is red, take out the Plasma Beamand just keep shooting normal shots while dodging his attacks.You can try to get close enough to use the flamethrower if youhave it, but he will strike you with his forelegs. Metroid Prime'ssecond phase is much less complex than the first. Lock on to himimmediately. The only attack he uses is to create a wave-likeblast that just shoots out in a ring shape. The first time heuses that attack, all the pillars in the room will fall apart.Use the Charge Beam to bring in any power-ups that came out ofthem. Then, just release the charge. He is not vulnerable to anyconventional beam weapon. After a while, it will appear as ifhe is releasing blue matter out of his tentacles. A pool of Phazonforms directly under him, then Metroid Prime seems to have disappeared.Remember where the pool of Phazon just appeared. Switch to theX-Ray visor and lock on to him again. Try to step into the smallPhazon pool that he made. When you are in it, your gun will automaticallychange to the Phazon Beam. The message "Hyper Mode"will appear. Hold A and the beam will fire a continuousstream of Phazon at Metroid Prime. The Phazon pool will eventuallydisappear, and you will have to repeat the process. Whenever hedisappears, he always is visible through each visor in the samepattern: Combat, X-Ray, Thermal, Combat, etc. Sometimes he maydisappear 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 MorphBall mode. Roll between them and drop a Power Bomb. If done correctly,it should kill both Metroids. If you run out of Power Bombs beforeyou 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, itsometimes releases different types of Metroids when it makes theblue Phazon pools. This makes it extremely difficult for Samusto shoot Metroid Prime with her Phazon Beam as the Metroids willnot let you shoot it if they latch onto you. This trick worksbest on the Hunter and Fission Metroids that Metroid Prime releases.When it makes the pool of Phazon, get into the pool as quicklyas you can. Then, shoot a tiny amount at the Metroids that itreleased. They will blow up, and you can get to Metroid Primemuch easier because the Phazon Beam kills them in one hit. Alternately,use a Power Bomb and they will also blow up. Make sure that youuse the Power Bombs wisely. If Metroid Prime does not make a poolof Phazon, no Metroids will appear. This will save you a lot ofhealth, especially in Hard Mode, as the Metroids sap much moreenergy.

When you are fighting the second form of Metroid Prime, it releasesdifferent types of Metroids. The first types start at infant Metroids,then Hunter Metroids, and finally Fission Metroids. When MetroidPrime releases its second little pool of Phazon, the Metroidswill 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 dolatch onto you, go into Morph Ball mode and lay a Power Bomb (nota regular Bomb), because this will allow the other Metroid tohit you and take your energy. This will save you a lot of healthand time.

Hint: Defeating Metroids:
Normal Metroids (not Prime) can be dispatched rapidlyby using Freeze Beam followed by a missile.

Fission Metroids or any other Metroid can be defeated by usinga Power Bomb. This is particularly useful during the last partof the game when you are trying to avoid getting damaged.

Use the following trick to destroy Metroids, no matter where theyare. Whenever a Metroid is in relatively close proximity to you,or has latched on to you, instead of laying a Bomb, detonate aPower Bomb. In the Phazon Core and when fighting Metroid Prime'ssecond form, this can be very helpful; if two Metroids are fairlyclose to you, they both will be destroyed. Use this trick whenMetroid Prime releases Metroids. Soon after being released, bothMetroids will approach you. Note: This trick is best used whenyou have a good amount of Power Bombs (eight recommended).

Hint: Defeating Omega Pirate:
First, blow away his Phazon armor. He will turn invisibleand probably unleash some troopers. Ignore them and use X-Rayvision to find Omega Pirate. He is quite vulnerable when he isinvisible. A charged blast will take away a good amount of hisenergy. When he is dead, he will melt and the Phazon suit willbe yours.

The Omega Pirate is the third to last Boss. First, find the fourPhazon plates on the Omega Pirate's knees and shoulders. Shootthem with Super Missiles or Charged Plasma shots. Once you breakall four plates, the Omega Pirate will become invisible and sendout 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, exceptfor a few Phazon-filled veins and heart. Avoid the attacks fromhim, and in time he will uncloak. You will have to repeat theprocess.

When he charges up at a pool of Phazon, switch to Ice Beam andcharge. When it has completely charged, fire out using the IceSpreader (if available). This will cause more damage, saving youhealth and time.

When fighting the Omega Pirate, do not use Beam combos while heis in vulnerable form. In fact, when he is visible, his favoriteweapon is the Energy Siphon. This allows him to deflect missilesand use your power against you from Beam weapons. However, ifyou shoot a charged Plasma Beam Shot from Omega Pirate's rightside (your left), it will run into one of his legs. Now, the bestplace to shoot him is from behind (this requires precision), ashis armor is weaker there. When he calls down the Power Troopers,look at what they are located. If they are Plasma or Ice, takethem down. Otherwise, kill yourself; as you will never kill themin time. When you switch to X-ray vision, find Omega Pirate andshoot two charged Plasmas at him while locked on, followed bytwo single shots. He will disappear again. When he reappears,shoot only one charged Plasma at him. If he disappears twice whilevulnerable, he will call down four Power Trioopers. Note: Beforeyou fight him, scan him while he is in the stasis tank, then runback 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 yourPlasma Cannon ready and aim for a shoulder or a knee. Charge upand when his hand is not glowing and shoot him. Two charged upshots 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 keepshooting. He will then go to another place. With the X-ray visoron, shoot him again. Note: This will call more pirates back. Stayclose 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 againsta wall, go into morph ball mode then charge and shoot to the otherside and repeat.

Hint: Defeating Parasite Queen:
When you get to the Parasite Queen, shoot in the openspots of the wall. To defeat her, Fast Scan her for a weak spot.

When fighting the Parasite Queen, back up into the doorway areayou used to enter the room. When positioned correctly, she willnot be able to hit you.

Take out your missiles. When the clear spot comes, release themissile. It will spit out goop-like material. Dash to avoid it.
