Metroid- Zero Mission thoughts - Page 2

Well my friend bought me this game and the Gameboy Player for Gamecube, and man, this is the greatest thing ever.

I am at the part where you have to roam around the Space Pirate Mothership as Armorless samus.

*MrPliggins* · 03-01-2004, 12:16 PM

Wow, you got that far already? Good job. It took me about a little over a week to beat, but I was only playing on bus rides and stuff..most of my free time goes to...uhm.... wait...i don't have free time.

Now that I have unlocked Metroid 1986, I am playing thru it and noticed one thing that really annoys me about that game.. Whenever you start your game over, you only have 30 energy! It's so annoying to have to fill your life up. Also, original Metroid seems more challenging..maybe because of the lack of save areas and lack of maps.

That is THE coolest part of the game... well... no. second though

. the best parts after you get your suit back and getta go all Rambo on the space pirates XD. You'd be supprised how easy the level gets... lol.

**GK Punk** · 03-01-2004, 04:25 PM

I ended up beating the game (3 and a half hours was my time...) And am on my second run! I"m trying to find some cool sequence breaks, so far I've just skipped the Long Beam. (I am at Kraid with out it >_&lt

*MrPliggins* · 03-01-2004, 07:48 PM

cool, kittie... I need to start another game, I need to improve on my 4 and a half hour time. Maybe I'll play it on my gameboy player this time...

The final enemy of the game was a wuss. He's easy to beat with super missles.

MTN889 · 03-01-2004, 09:01 PM

The best last bosses are the ones that are SUPER hard

Back to the original Metroid for a minute, did anyone ever get into the "glitch rooms"? Just curious. It happened to me once, and it was kinda weird.

Oh yeah, I know Metroid 1 inside and out. There's a few that you could be talking about, one in norfair, one in Ridley's hideout and there could be one or two in brinstar.

*MrPliggins* · 03-02-2004, 05:00 AM

Hmm, I've never heard of "glitch rooms"..what exactly are they?
I've never made it to "minus world" in SMB either....

MW8979 · 03-02-2004, 07:55 AM

The one in Norfair. I think if you got through a wall at one point, you get into this sequence of rooms that are weirdly coloured and have strange looking enemies. It's like a trip, without the drugs. Makes me wonder though, since this "glitch" exists consistently in all games, it's probably not a glitch. I think it could be an abandoned area that they started to code for, but never finished.

The one in Norfair is actually a color glitch. You see, since you go in to the Green area of norfair to reach it, you accidently can end back up in the purple area of norfair by doing the Door Jump, but since you use that method, the Pallet doesn't switch back over to the purple pallet and remains Green. Now, when ou head back to Brinstar with the glitch in effect, the Gold area of Brinstar is Blue, and the Blue Area is gold.

I should take screen shots later for Mr Pliggins.

*MrPliggins* · 03-02-2004, 01:52 PM

Yes, that would be cool if you would take screen shots. I'm surprised, being the avid NES gamer I was, I've never heard of this glitch!

LAXtitan99 · 03-02-2004, 02:10 PM

I still have yet to pick up either GBA installments in the series though eventually I want both.

I have Prime and was about 83% through or so and right before the omi pirate (3rd to last boss) and stop playing when the next big release came out. Havent touched it since.

You don't need that to take him out though...

Metroid Tip #1: ALWAYS use your missles on bosses.

**GK Punk** · 03-02-2004, 08:42 PM

Hehe, no I meant I was at Kraid's hideout. I'm now at the end, just need to go Kill Meta Ridley. My time so far is 2 hours 5 minutes. GRR I WASN"T QUICK ENOUGH THIS TIME.

*MrPliggins* · 03-02-2004, 09:24 PM

Hey, nice screens! I've never seen that before. Does it save into your game when you die? 2 hrs five minutes huh? What is the time you're supposed to get for best ending?

No, I think when you die it resets the Color Pallet. (atleast it did in the original NES Version.)

Under 2 hours is the best ending, I Came that close! Well, 3rd time's a charm, right?

**GK Punk** · 03-04-2004, 07:00 AM

Alright, now I've got an end time of 1 hour and 38 minutes.

Not bad

MW8979 · 03-04-2004, 02:36 PM

This is for Metroid Zero Mission? Do you get anything special for it?
