Hardware failures killed my 2 previous runs. Made it past the damn grappling hook section in Maridia. God, I fucking hate Maridia.

Reject Grapple Beam.

Embrace Wall Jump.

Also make sure you google how to rescue the animals after you beat the last boss in Tourian.

There's some neat stuff in it, but ultimately I did not like it.

Post your Metroid rankings if your manage to beat it

I'm currently playing it too through an emulator. I forgot just how janky the controls are for when you're using space jump. Like, half the time it doesn't work and I fall back to the floor and have to start the annoyance all over again.

And yes, Maridia is the worst.

If you look at a map with expansion locations, you will see how much the devs wanted you to buy Nintendo Power/the strategy guide

This is the only time for a final clean-up round. The final area has a point of no return in it (that the game doesn't tell you about, basically don't save at the second save station if you want to be able to go back).

Topped off at Samus's ship. Feel like I've done a pretty good job of collecting everything so far.

1 reserve, 3 E tanks, 2 super tanks, 1 power bomb tank, and a shit load of missiles

Like I said though theres many locations that are impossible to find without a guide. For example, theres one in the turtle E tank room in Maridia you would never find on your own

Okay, I have 2 missile expansions left and Super's map is extremely unhelpful, so I have no idea where they are. Probably just gonna finish the game like this.

Fusion >> Super > Prime 1 >> Samus Returns

Haven't beaten Prime 2 but what I have played would easily be at the bottom of the list

Of course. Samus would die in Fusion otherwise!

My friends and I found all of this stuff on our own back in the day. Between the X-Ray scope and Power Bombs it was frankly easy to find stuff compared to earlier Metroid.

I wonder if someone did a ROM hack of Super Metroid that literally only just changes the item indicators on the map to be like the ones in Fusion/ZM/SR. That's basically the only thing that I think needs to be updated with the game, a full-blown remake I'm iffy on.

Congrats on finally beating it though!
