        This walkthrough was made to enable people with the patience and desire
        to obtain the ability to beat Metroid Fusion in under 2 hours and
        collect all 100 items.  This is a fairly difficult task.  To be able to
        do this you have to move fast.  You have to know where your going.
        It is HIGHLY suggested that you go ahead and beat the game before using
        this walkthrough.  For one, if you do that, now you will have a clock
        and a checklist for when you press pause.  Also it will help you
        familiarize with all the rooms, so that you can get through them as
        fast as possible.  

        This is the first Walkthrough i've ever done, and it is not meant to be
        detailed.  I just wrote down the nessacary information required to
        successfully complete the above task. I did write this walkthrough as I
        went through the game, but i also did each section 3 or 4 times before
        writting it down.  The purpose for this is to ensure that i keep my
        time down.  I suggest you do the same.  There are parts of this
        walkthrough you may not get, just go ahead and run through the section
        without using the walkthrough and after you've gotten past it.  Read
        the walkthrough and then re-do the section.  There are set time goals
        that are a nice reminder to see how well your doing.  If you start to
        fall too far behind, you might as well start over.  

        It won't be possible to catch up very easily.  Beating this game in
        under 2 hours with 100 percent is easier if your using an emulator.
        So if you can complete this task on your GBA, you definately deserve
        bragging rights.  I would like anyone that has used my walkthrough,
        and it helped beat the game and see Samus half-naked to e-mail me with
        their thoughts(Offspring131313@yahoo.com).  Thank you for reading, and
        enjoy the walkthrough.

v2.0  Added Headers, and spaced out walkthrough.  Basically made it more
      pretty.  Also corrected goal times.  The First number is my second time
      when I tried to perfect the run.  Whereas the 2nd number is for those not
      trying to get a PERFECT score.  It's just a goal for those running
      through the game.  And, moved around a couple of the items to improve
      times.  Added VIII. Legalities.(3/19/04).

        1. When looking at the map or talking to Adam, it doesn't add to your
        time, so you can take your time to plan things out.

        2. Run as fast as you can to each area(Although this should be a
        no-brainer, just in case).

        3. Try to ignore the enemies, or if you can just keep shooting while
        you run.
 
        4. Wall jumping is much faster than climbing ladders.

        5. When you speed boost remember you can store that energy in case you
        want to use that some where else.

        6. You have missiles, they will work much better than your beam until
        you at least have the plasma beam, so use them very liberally.  You
        shouldn't really need more than 50 for any boss.  It's not like you
        don't have ample opportunities to refill.

        7. Against most of the bosses, be reckless and run after them firing,
        you should have enough health.  Not a good idea against Yakuza and
        Nightmare however.

|                             |
-------------------------------


First things first, after you begin and you can finally move.  Go to the first
Navigation room, it will tell you to go to the Quarantine Bay. Go there and
kill the X in that room and return to the Navigation room.  He will tell you of
the impending threat, and of the boss on the top right of the Main Deck.  Now
Level 0 Locks are open.

Go over and up to the first door on the right, follow the path running past the
x as it appears, past the save room and go to the top to the next navigation
room.  The computer will now send you on your way to get your missles.  Leave
the navigation room and go up to the elevator.  After you leave the elevator
go directly to the 2nd floor and past the navigation room and recieve your
missles.  Uh oh power is out.  After you leave the navigation room cross along
the 2 platforms in front of you, shoot a missle at the red glowing door and
jump through it.

Follow this path untill you reach your first set of missles.  After you
retrieve these, go left into the empty room and across from you is 2 steps that
are 2 blocks high, shoot the top of the taller step to reveal another missle
pack.  Leave this room and continue right until you see that big eye thing,
kill it and go into the next room.  There will be an energy tank straight in
front of you, after you grab that go to the edge of the platform your standing
on and shoot 2 missles straight up.  Go into this corridor and get another
energy tank.

At this point you should have 299 Heatlh and 20 missles.  Go down to fight the
boss Arachnus.  This shouldn't be a problem at all with that much health.  Get
your morph ball upgrade and go along the path as quickly as possible.  Run past
the save room and head to the first navigation room you came across at the
begining.  The computer will proceed to tell you about how the x have infested
sector one, the enviromental habitat meant to replicate SR388.  Exit the
navigation room and go up, morph into a ball and go thru the passage to get
your 3rd missle upgrade. Now continue to the elevator leading to Hall of
elevators.  What's this?  A Samus look alike?  Oh no *rolls eyes*.

|  2. Sector 1(First Visit)  |
|                            |
------------------------------

Go down the elevator to sector 1 and go into the navigation room.  "Adam" will
tell you to destroy the 5 stabilizers.  Leave the navigation room, and run past
the save and recharge room.  Go thru the big room to the bottom right door and
run through this room shooting.  When you come to the end fire three missles
and go into the next room. 

In the next room Destroy the first Atmospheric Stabilizer and continue into the
next room.  Kill the little frog-like things on the ground, roll into a ball
and go right to get your third energy tank.  Go right through the door, cross
the gap into the next door on the right, and into the room with the next
Atmospheric Stabilizer.  Destroy it and go back into the vertical hallway.

Go one level down and thru the door, run and try to ignore the rhino things,
run into the next room.  Go straight down ignoring the pirates.  Drop to the
bottom and go right twice, and into the room with the third stabilizer, destroy
it.  Go right 3 rooms where the 4th Stabilizer is, go up and grab onto the
ceiling.  Go over destroy the stabilizer and go back to the left and enter the
top left door and grab the missles and get out. 

Go down and take the door on the bottom right. Kill the space pirates and go up
the verticle shaft go through the door on the top left.  Grab the ceiling, kill
the crabs and climb all the way across.  Shoot 3 shots at the wall to the
left, drop down and jump up to grab the hole.  Drop down(optional Save to the
left).  Go up and kill the red eye.  Go in the next room and shoot the blue
ball in the hand of the statue and it will turn into the Charge Core-X.

After defeating the Charge Core-X and retrieving your charge shot ability, go
to the top right door and enter it.  Go to the center of the room and shoot the
ceiling that sticks out from the rest.  Go up and grab onto the ceiling go
across to the left.  Fire 1 missile and 2 shots and jump into the hole.

Go in and get the missles, it is very possible to get these missles without
even shooting a bullet and without being hit, you just have to be quick enough.
Return back through the door on the right of this room.  This room contains the
5th and final stabalizer.  Destroy it and go to the door on the bottom right.

Go past the barrier into the vertical shaft.  Go into the save room on the top
right, shoot the wall that's cracked on the right.  Enter it and start wall
jumping up to your next missle upgrade.  Now's a perfect time to save.

------------------------------

After Completing this, follow the familiar path all the way back to the Sector
1 Navigation Room.  Uh oh now it's been discovered that sector 2 has been
infected.  Now go back up to the Main Deck and go to the Sector 2 Elevator and
to the Navigation room.  Yikes there's an X mimicking Samus, dubbed SA-X.  Our
next objective?  Unlock the level 1 hatches and retrieve the morph ball mines
upgrade from the data room.

Go out past the recharge room.  In this large room go all the way down to the
bottom and go right and go all the way back up. Go through the very top right
door of this big room.  Run straight through this room and go right.  Go all
the way up and through the door on the top.

Drop down and unlock the Level 1 Hatches.  Now head back to the large room and
this time enter the bottom left door.  Go through the long room and as soon as
you enter the next room go up in the hole in the ceiling.  Go left and get your
morph ball mines.  

Leave this room and when you come to the hole that you came through, jump
across it to the ledge and plant a mine, go through the hole and get ur 8th
Missle upgrade.  After getting that upgrade, go down and you will notice that
the door you came in here from has been destroyed, so now go across to the left
and plant a mine in the bottom left corner, you will fall down to the next
floor.  Roll all the way to the right drop down and kill the enemies.  Run to
the left and through the hatch.

When you enter this room go to the to the upper part and lay a mine on top of
the lone block.  Use the pillar that comes out of it to jump to the left, shoot
the wall where you see the single block twice.  Roll into that hole.  In the
next room kill the flying guy and lay a mine 3 blocks to the left of the lone
block.  Use the platform to jump up to the missile upgrade.  After getting this
go through the maze.  After you go through the door at the bottom, follow the
path down to the next level.  

When you get into this next room, plant mines on the floor in the middle to go
down.  After falling through this hole go left and you will see another
platform like the one you just bombed.  Step on it and you will fall through.
Kill these enemies and plant a mine on the bottom right of this room.  If you
bombed the correct spot, a huge line of blocks will be destroyed.  Follow the
path to a missle upgrade and a wall crawler.  After you get this upgrade, to
get out just shoot up from where u picked up your missles.  Get out of this
room and go into the door on the bottom right.

Continue along this long blue hallway into the verticle corridor.  Go up and
enter the third door on the right.  Go right past the save room.  Go until you
get the energy tank at the end of the hall.  In this room, shoot the floor and
go down to the eye door, defeat it and enter the boss room.  Now it is time to 
fight the Cyclops Leech, and get your Hi-Jump and Jumpball.

Return to the save room and save if you wnat.  After you leave the save room
go left and you will come to a broken door, place a mine next to the door and
go to the room below.  Wait up here until the SA-X leaves the room.  Now go to
the right and shoot the ground, and go all the way back to the door.

When you enter this vertical shaft, go all the way to the top using the cacoons
as stepping stones.  Go into the door on the top right.  Go through the second
door and when you enter, fire 2 missles while still running and duck in the
middle of the room to avoid being shot at by the hopper.  Now jump up and get
to the ledge on the right.  Roll into it and place a mine.  Go into the hole
and grab the missle pack in here.  Go back to the left and roll through the
hole in the top left wall.  Now you will be back into the main hallway of
Sector 2.

Go up to the blue door you past by a while ago.  Go in and place a mine about
halfway up the wall.  Go in and get another missle upgrade.  Now it is time to
go to the Navigation room.  Dont forget to save.

------------------------------

Adam will tell you that now Sector 4 has been infected as a result of opening
the level 1 hatches.  Go to Sector 4 and straight to the navigation room.  Now
it is time to go get our Speed boost   YIPEEE!!! Trust me this will be your
favorite and most hated ability, unless you've had lots of practice with
shinespark and shoulder charge.  Either way, lets head to the left and start
picking up items.

After you leave the recharge room, continue left and go throught the bottom
left hatch.  Go left into the big room, and go up where you will bomb the wall
to the left.  Start moving across the platforms, until you can go up, and do
so.  As you go right you will see a hatch and another path going up, wall jump
up until you see the odd wall on the left, place a mine on it and roll through.
Go all the way left and place a mine, stay in ball form.  After the mine blows
up and the wall disappears roll left as far as you can and place another mine.

Grab the missle upgrade.  Grab onto the wall and fire 2 missles to the left to
go through the wall.  Drop down and jump past the gap.  Jump up and shoot
through the wall and get another missle upgrade.  Go back and drop down into
the big room.

Now continue to the Upper Left door.  After you go through this hatch, there
will be a fork in the road, up or down? Go up and go left, up, right, and keep
following this path to get an energy tank.  Go back to where that fork was,
and take the lower path.  Shoot up and roll into the recession and place a
mine.  Jump on out kill the crab and after the mine blows up, grab on the
ceiling and go across.  Jump into the hole in the ceiling.  Do not worry about
anything that is in this area, just grab the wall on the left and press up
until you roll into the wall.  Grab the missles and leave this area.

After you drop through the ceiling again, place a mine next to the left wall.
After going through the left door, immediatly shoot up and follow that path to
the next door in the upper right side of the room.  Go into the save room, fire
shots at the wall and roll through to the next door.  Run right on past this
room and continue the path until you see the red eye, kill it and go to fight
your boss.  Serris is tricky, but he's pretty easy, get the Speed Boost and go
right. 

In the next room go across the top all the way to the right, go down and place
a mine on the left.  Kill all the spikey guys, and go all the way left.  Run
all the way to the right, and you will fall down after speed boosting through
the floor.  Go back to the room with the fork and go down again.  Go left to
the room where you went up and instead go left.  Make sure you dont stop
running, and speed boost through the wall.  Connect to the machine and lower
the water level, go down and get the missle upgrade.  Get back up to the blue
door, go through it and in the next room get down on the bottom.  Kill the
crabs as quickly as possible, go left and speed boost through the wall on the
right.

Keep running through this room, and press down right at the hole above you to
do a shinespark.  Spin jump and grab on to the edge roll through and quickly
get out of ball mode, and shoulder charge left to the missles. After you drop
down go left into the room you just came out of and then run right to get a
speed boost going.  Run straight into the next room and break a few blocks.

Go through the hatch into the room right before the recharge room.  Go into the
bottom right door instead.  Now this might take a few tries, run into the
bottom left room, keep running and jump over the gap, try to avoid hitting the
electrified wires.  You will see a Purple Snot like thing start to appear, well
good news, if your fast enough you can go right through him.  If you do so, go
all the way left and shoot the wall under the electrified wires to reveal
another missle upgrade.

Grab that, and go back past the big blue snot, go into the hole you jumped
over, roll into a ball and go to the right path.  Grab the missles and head
back to the Navigation room.

------------------------------

Adam will tell you to get a Missle upgrade from a data room in Sector 3 so go
there.  It's a good idea to try to Speed boost every where you go, because we
are trying to get the lowest time possible, so now that we have this ability
we're in good shape.  Now talk to Adam in Sector 3 and yada yada yada, find
the level 2 hatch lock and get your Super missles.  After disconnecting
with the navigation room, run to the right shooting the doors.

Dont stop we're trying to speed boost.  Keep running and do not jump.  You
will fall through the wall in front of you and keep pressing right, you will
hit another wall and you should fall down to the bottom level of this Main
room.  When you hit the ground.  Do not go right.  This is imperitive because
the timing on this move has to be just right if you wanna keep your time down.

Start running left.  While shooting the blocks when you get into the next room,
jump as soon as you start speed boosting.  If you timed it correctly you will
go through this wall, but you will also go through the floor in the next room.
Go down in there and shoot the ceiling to reveal another Missle upgrade.  Go
back out of here the way you came, go to the right of the room.  Wait until the
floor forms over again.  Start running to the left when you hit the 2nd hump on
the ground, jump.  You will go through the wall on the top.  Go up there and
get into the hole, lay a mine, go in and unlock the level 2 hatches.

Go to the far left of this room turn around, shoot the door, and start running.
Jump when you hit the 2nd hump to go through the wall and into the next room.
Remember try to ignore any enemies you come across.  Go across the floor
shooting the walls in front of you so they disappear.  When you get into the
next room go  up to where the first wall guy is.  Roll underneath him and you
will fall down, open the gate and run over to the door.

Speed boost to the right and as soon as the floor breaks out beneath you turn
around and run to the left until the floor breaks up underneath you.  Go into
the door to your right and head up to another door on the top left of the
verticle shaft.  When you get into this room, bomb the 2nd block up roll
through and get your next missle upgrade.  Bomb the block above you and head up
to the door on the top right.

When you come in here, drop down from the step, shoot a few missile, then start
running to the right.  Keep shooting missiles, and when you get to the end of
the room, shinespark.  Open the door and shoulder charge through it.  You will
run into a green door, open it and download your Super Missile upgrade.

When leaving this room keep running left, right before you get to the door in
the next room press down to shinespark.  Shoot the door and shoulder charge
through.  You will go all the way left and hit the door that is now destroyed.
This will cause the Security Robot to start making some noise upstairs.  Now
run to the right to the hole you flew over.  Go in and go right past the save
and recharge rooms.  When you get into the next room immediately press L and R
and fire a missle let go of l and fire 4 more missles, grab your missle
upgrade.

Go left and recharge if you need to.  Go back towards the Data room.  Now it's
time to fight the security robot.  HURRAY!!!  After defeating the security
robot.  Go up and on to the next floor.  Start running left and shinespark
right before the door.  Shoot the door and shoulder charge through.  Start
bombing the bottom left of this room to get to the energy tank.  Drop down and
follow the path left and go straight to the Save/Recharge/Navigation rooms.
And talk to Adam.  It's time to head to Sector 6.

|  6. Sector 6(First Visit)  |
|                            |
------------------------------

After ariving in Sector 6 talk to Adam.  After talking to Adam and finding out
about the Cold-X.  Go to the left of the Navigation room and start running to
the right shooting the doors to get a speed boost.  Get a shinespark right
before leaving the Recharge room.  Shoulder charge through the door, and you
will hit another door.  Shoot it and go through.

In this next room, go down to the bottom of room, dont kill the big blue snot.
Instead lay a mine about 3 blocks up on the bottom left.  Go through and get
the missile upgrade.  Now destroy the big blue snot.  After destroying him get
up on the step and place a mine 3 blocks up on the right wall.  Go in here,
while still up on the ledge jump up to the right and lay a mine 2 blocks from
the top.  It will blow up a line of blocks, go in and grab your Energy Tank.
Leave here and go up to the door.

While running through this room angle ur shot up and shoot the Cold-X and head
into the the verticle shaft to the right.  When entering this room do the same
thing and shoot the next Cold-X, and go straight down to the very bottom and go
into that door.  

In the next room angle up and shoot one of the 2 top blocks.  Do not shoot the
bottom block because it contains an Cold-X.  Jump over that block and grab the
wall.  Move down and fire missles at the wall to the left and jump through.
Move left and jump over the gap while shooting the Cold-X.  Go down and through
the lower left hatch.

As soon as you enter this room angle up run and shoot.  You will speed charge
through the wall.  Try not to grab onto the wall in front of you and just drop
straight down.  Head left and shoot the Cold-X and through the to the room with
an Energy Tank in it.  After grabbing the Energy Tank place a mine where the
Tank was.

Go into this recession and go into the door in the room below.  When you get
into the next room go to the right and lay a mine at the right and fall into
the tunnel below. Roll all the way to the left to see the SA-X come through
the door.  "She" will lay a power bomb.  Don't worry if you get hit it's only
20 dmg, but you shouldn't if you stay all the way to the left.  After that go
to the right, wait until you here her do a screw attack down to the room below,
keep walking to the right untill you drop through the floor.  When you hit the
ground run left away from the SA-X.

Now shoot the wall on the bottom left of this room and follow the path to the
left.  Now the SA-X should be gone, and hopefully you weren't shot at all.  In 
the next room shoot the block in the middle of the floor and go down.  Shoot
the 2nd block from the left and you will fall all the way to the floor.  To
avoid being hit by any of the Cold-X kneel down and shoot to the left and roll
into the hole you just made.  

When you enter this room, get up and angle up and shoot the 3 colorful
grub-like things on the ceiling.  jump up and roll into the hole.  Lay mines
until you get the missle upgrade.  Now go back into the other room.  Shoot the
3rd and 4th blocks up and go through there to the door.  If you did this all
correctly you shouldn't have seen a single Cold-X and thus, no dmg either.  In
the next room kill the red eye, and head into the data room.  There's a Core-X
taking away your upgrade.  After it leaves the room go to the right and into
the boss room.

You will receive the Varia Suit after beating the Barrier Core-X.  Now you can
withstand Cold and Hot Temperatures.  And you can absorb the Cold-X.  Now head
to the right through 2 doors and head up.  Go through the door on the left.
You will see a missle pack on the ground, run towards it but the floor will
break under your feet, so to be safe, jump to it, as your falling press left
and you will grab onto the wall at some point.  In this room the ceiling is
sort of jagged except on spot thats smooth.  Shoot that spot and grab the
hidden missle upgrade.  Get out of this room and go to the right and head back
up the wall again.  This time taking the door on the right.  

In this room to save some time, shoot the floating ball and the slug with
missles and jump to the wall and jump from there to the left.  In this room
follow the narrow path into the big room.  When you drop down, get out of morph
ball mode.  Jump to the right and wall jump off the wall just above the hole
you came out of.  Wall jump up until you can grab onto the right wall.  Keep
going up and go left.  Head left into the door at the top left of this room. If
you recall this is the vertical shaft that we just ran right on through.  Head
up and enter the first door on the right that you see.

Continue right and get into the next room where there is a fake missle upgrade.
Kill it and place a couple mines at the bottom right of this room.  Grab the
missle upgrade and go back to the Navigation room.

------------------------------

Now it's time to head to Sector 5.  When you get there, obviously talk to Adam
and find out whats going on.  After heading right past the recharge room, fall
off the edge and quickly press left to latch onto the wall on the left as far
up as possible.  Shoot 2 missles to the right, jump to the right, kill the
crab, and crawl through the hole.

Go through to the next room.  In this sector it's quite all right to be very
liberal with your missles, i know i was.  Anyway in the next room go down right
up right down and finally get to the door on the bottom right of this room.
In this next room go right and fall through the floor and onto the 2nd tier of
this room, go back to the left.  Shoot the floor below you and go through.  See
the door to the left?  Go in it.

Go about 3 or 4 steps into it, turn around and shoot the door.  Start running
to the right while shooting, just in case that flying crab like thing wants to
hit you.  You will speed boost just in time to break the floor and go down to
the next floor.  Go left and to the bottom of this room.  Head right and
finally go through the hatch on that side.

When you enter immediately place a mine, while waiting for the mine to blow get
your missiles ready, as soon as the mine blows, fire a few missiles as you
head towards the door.  After you go through the door, you will see two pillars
in the background.  Line yourself up with the left one as your falling and
shoot down.  You should fall right on through and down next to a large odd
looking block.  Go into the hatch on the left side of this room.

Now just keep running left until you reach the security room.  Unlock the
Level 3 hatches and head left.  This room is a bit of a pain.  Kill the crab
things that are in the way with missles.  Grab the X-Parasites before they can
reform to create another crab.  Keep heading up and open the yellow door into
the save room.  Go right into that large room, instead of going right after
this room, go up one floor and go right towards the data room.  Get your ice
missiles and head right.  

In this next room go to the center and shoot straight down.  Drop through the
hole for a while then press right to grab onto the right wall.  You will see
the floating cockroaches, shoot the one on top while he's floating past the
center.  Jump on top of him and and jump to the room just above.  Kill the x
mimmicking an energy tank, then place mines to the left of where it was
standing to reveal a real energy tank.  Try to grab the energy tank and get
out before the mine block reforms.

Leave this room and drop to the bottom of the verticle shaft.  At the bottom
roll into a ball and go to the right, jump up and hold right and you will enter
a little tunnel in the wall.  When you enter this room go to the right and
shoot the ceiling.  Jump through it, kill the crab.  DO NOT GRAB THE X.  Let
the x form into a blue starfish thing, get close to it, let it jump.  While
it's in the air, freeze it with your missile.  Now use that as a platform to
jump up to the left platform.  Kill the crab, and same as the last one DO NOT
GRAB THE X.  Wait for it to form into a Floating cockroach.  Freeze it while
it's towards the middle.  If you look to the top of the room, there will be a
small 3 block recession in the ceiling shoot the one in the middle to reveal
the missles, and jump up to grab them.

Now you can leave this room and go back through the yellow hatch to the left
of the long verticle shaft.  Now that weird block you saw earlier will get
bigger, wait for that and shoot it with a missle.  Jump on top of it and shoot
up to create the hole in the ceiling from earlier.  Go into the hatch on the
left.  Kill the crab, DO NOT GRAB THE X.  It will form into another crab, kill
it and let the weird block thing get bigger from the parasite infecting it.

Freeze the pillar and go all the way to the right of the platform.  Run to the
left through the hatch, picking up enough speed to get a speed boost.  When you
reach the end press down to create the shinespark.  and Shoulder charge up.  Go
through the level 3 hatch to your right.  Now your once again back into the big
room.  Go up one leverl of this room and go all the way to the right and shoot
the wall to reveal a semi-secret room.  Jump up onto the ledge and shoot left,
go into the hole and roll to the left.

Now head all the way back into the giant room.  Head up, left, down, and left
through the yellow hatch.  Kill the giant crab with a pair of missiles.  Now
roll into a ball, and Ball jump up to the top right corner, and lay a mine, if
you were close enough you should have also revealed the missle upgrade.  Grab
the missle upgrade and get out before the mine block comes back.  Now go left
and everything is flashing go recharge and get talk to Adam.

-------------------------------

Now you only have 6 minutes to do this(rolls eyes).  Considering it only takes
about 2 minutes to do this project, no problem.   It should take you exactly 15
seconds for you to get to sector 3.  When you get there run straight through
the nav/save/recharge rooms while picking up your speed boost.  Run right off
the edge and fall down through the blocks like before, but go right this time.

Go around the barrier as before, just as before go the long verticle shaft.
Run right off the edge and hold right.  You should just barely miss the 2nd
wall worm.  Fall down to the bottom avoiding all the Enemies and avoid stopping
as well.  When you get in the next room go ahead and jump as far as you can
right into the lava and jump right on out again.  Shoot 2 missles to kill the
flying enemy.  Grab hold of the ceiling and hold up and left at the same time,
just in case you get hit by a fire pillar you'll grab onto the ceiling again.

When you get to the end of the 2nd ceiling grab.  Fire two missiles, you won't
be able to see it, but you will hit the flying bird and kill it, now go all the
way to the left and through the hatch.  

In the next room, coax the first wall worm out and freeze it, now jump off of
it to the right and get on top of the ledge, go through the door.  Ignore this
room and go past it.  In the next room, coax the bottom worm out, freeze it,
and freeze the 2nd one.  Use these as stepping stones to get to the door above.

This room is a pain. First you need to try to freeze the worm BEFORE he comes
shooting out.  Kill the fire guy on the ceiling and go up to the 2nd floor.
Continue to the third floor and jump over the odd part or you'll fall through.
Dont worry about taking dmg, the boss is extremely easy.  After you jump over
the odd part of the floor fire a missile to freeze the worm so that he doesn't
jump out at you and go down to the bottom and open the door.  Go past this
next room.

In the next room jump up and go left, kill the hoppers and the eye.  Go through
the door and kill the "scientist"  He will now become a  Wide Core-X.  After
killing him you can now step onto the control panel and avert the imminent
danger.  After all that is done you should have still had 4 minutes left on
the clock.  Now head all the way back to the Navigation room.

Adam will tell you about the habitation deck.  Hurray it's time to return to
the Main deck.  Go to the main deck and head to the navigation room.  Go past
that and go up until you see the two green doors, take the one on the left.  Go
up the elevator.  Freeze and climb the 2 wall worms to the top head to the left
past the door.  Go as far left as you can and shoot the ground.  GO right all
the way to the door.  Do not go through the door, instead turn around and speed
boost to the end.  You will go through the ground at the end.  Now go to the
right and get the missile upgrade.

Go back to the left, and jump into the secret tunnel in the wall.  Go in and
use the wall worms to get to the top.  Open up the habitation hatch and see
your friends from Super Metroid.  Now head right and go back to the navigation
room.  Talk to Adam.  Go left up and back towards the elevator to the "Hall of
Elevators"  On your way to that elevator, pick up a speed charge and run past
the elevator and get the missile upgrade.  Head back to sector 5 and talk to

Our other favorite upgrade will now be downloaded at the same data room.  Get
the power bomb upgrade and jump for joy, cause now you can get just about every
upgrade in the game, except for the ones the require the screw attack.  In
fact,  over 1/3 of the items that you can receive require the power bomb to
get.

Go right and drop to the bottom of the long shaft.  Go left and lay a power
bomb.  Drop down to the room below and go left through the door.  Jump over the
pillar in the middle of the room.  Lay a power bomb and stay in ball mode.  As
soon as the power bomb blows up jump up into the top hole roll through and run
left dodgeing the shots from the SA-X(If your fast enough you won't even get
shot once).  Go through the hatch and your in the clear.

Lay a power bomb and get the upgrade.  Kill the Purple crab on the wall and
collect the red X.  Go up into the room above and lay another power bomb.  Go
up and use the cockroaches as steps to get to the room above.  Go in and
collect another power bomb upgrade.

After this is done, go to the security room and continue past.  Lay a power
bomb on the Second floor, climb up and you will see a ladder on the left side.
As your climbing the ladder you will end up climbing in an area thats only 1
block wide, jump off the ladder here, and wall jump back up and grab onto the
ladder again.

This is much faster than climbing which is very slow.  Now go through the
yellow door at the top and go right twice.  In this room go up and lay a power
bomb.  Go into the room to the left.  Get up on the platform and wait for the
cockroach to get to the center, jump up and freeze it with a missle, roll into
a ball, and jump on top of it.  Roll across it and into the hole on the left.
Do the same for the next cockroach.  Go to the left and get your Power bomb
upgrade.

Now head back to the right and go to the upper left door.  It's this very large
room again, but this time roll to the left and lay a power bomb.  Roll through

running left.  Go in and roll into a ball.  Fall down, when you hit the floor
angle down and run to the right shooting the ground.  In this large room, do
not drop down, instead shoot the vines on top and walk across them, go all the
way to the right and go into the door just below you.

In this next room, just run past everything and grab the Energy Tank.  Go into
the next room, angle down shooting the ground as you run.  Kill the Pirate and

on top of the big bar in front of you angle down and release.  Grab the energy
tank and continue along your way.  After this go past two doors leading to the
right.  In this room angle down as you run and shoot the ground.

After you drop down, go left and you will see a Hermit Crab.  Lay a power bomb.
Then lay another one but move away from it or you will absorb the Parasite.
Don't wanna do that.  Now the X will form into an armor Crab.  Kill that with
one missile.  Wait for the X to form into a Pirate.  You have to shoot this one
in the back.  So keep jumping to coax him into jumping.  Then shoot him before
he turns around, 2-3 shots to kill.  If you shoot a charge shot at him as he
forms, you might get lucky. Now the door to the right should be open.

head to the right of the platform and speed boost left.  When you get to the
door, shinespark, open the door and shoulder charge through it.  When you stop
flying, lay a power bomb.  Go into the new pathway and get the power bombs.

Fall through the pit blocks to the left and into the main room.  Head down to
the bottom and go through the bottom right door.  You should know what to do
here by now.  When you drop down lay a power bomb.  Go to the room on the left
and get the power bomb upgrade.  Now head into the long verticle shaft and drop
straight down like you did when the place was blowing up.  

Take the green door on the left.  Space jump all the way across into the next
room.  When in here roll into a ball and power bomb the left corner.  This is a
bit of a maze, so i'll walk you through it. When you drop in go right, if you
fall, jump back up go up into the right and jump up through the invisible hole
on the top right.  Now fall all the way down, head left in morph ball go up
and from here it's simple.

Grab the power bomb and head back to the verticle shaft.  Go through the other
green door and lay a power bomb.  Grab the missiles on the top of the center
block.  Go right and through the hatch.  Open the barrier with your wave beam.
Now space jump to the top right corner of this room and grab the energy tank.
Go left from there in morph ball mode and get the missile upgrade.

>From here get into the lava and go right.  Screw attack the wall and clear it
out of the way.  Run back to the left to where the slope of the hill starts.
Run back to the right getting a speed boost as you go.  Shinespark before you
hit the wall.  Shoulder charge all the way up.  You will get a Power bomb
upgrade.  Now drop down through the hole you just made and hold left.

Now you should see a power bomb upgrade in front of you.  Screw attack through
the ceiling and back down through the ceiling past the barrier.  Grab the power
bomb upgrade and head back up.  Go left twice and you should recognize this
room.  As always pick up speed and shoulder charge through the door.

When you get back into the large red room.  Take the second door up from the
bottom left.  Space jump all the way through this room and into the hatch.
Pick up the missile upgrade and bomb the wall behind it.  Go right to the edge
and run left shooting.  Shinespark before you hit the end.  Shoulder charge up
and space jump to the Energy Tank.

When you get back down start Screw attacking the ground around the center drop
down.  And go into the hatch, Before going to sector 5 lay a power bomb.  Grab
the power bomb upgrade up there and then head to sector 5.

--------------------------------

When you get in immediatly screw attack up through the ceiling at the top right
corner.  Go up and screw attack the space pirates.  Space jump hugging the left
side and go through the ceiling.  Lay a power bomb and then shoot the 2
barriers.  Get the power bomb upgrade and head back down.  Go down through the
floor and head right.

Go all the way back to the very large room that got destroyed before you had to
fight Nightmare.  Get as far right as you can inside the pit.  Start running to
the left while shooting.  Just before you hit the edge, shinespark.  Shoulder
charge up on the right side of the hole.  After you hit the ceiling space jump
up through the hole.  Open the door to the left.

Next go right killing everything.  Go as far right as possible and hopefully
you will have picked up a speed boost.  Press down to to create a shinespark.
Shoulder Charge left and through the door.  You should pick up the missile tank
and go through the wall and pick up the power bomb upgrade.  Now go back to the
right and drop to the bottom of the large room.

-------------------------------

When you enter screw attack the wall and go down.  Go into the second door on
the left again.  This time screw attack the small black in the middle.  Head
left and after killing everything and speed boost to the right through the
hatch.  Shinespark and shoulder charge through the wall to your right.  This
room is tricky.  DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.  LEAVE IT CLOSED!!!

Anyway.  To do this room, head up to the right when you get to the first hole,
stand on the edge so that one foot is hanging over.  Fire one beam.  Now jump
to the other side and shoot left while hanging over the edge.  Go to the second
hole and jump over.  Hang off the edge to the left and shoot left.  Go to the
right and hange off the edge and shoot right.  Jump over and shoot left.  Now
go left as far as you can.  Speed boost to the right and shinespark.

Shoulder charge right and pick up the energy tank.  Now get to the right side
of the platform and run left.  Shinespark and enter the hatch,  Shoulder
charge to the left through the wall.  Go back into the room that you just ran
rammed into.  

Destroy the block again, kill everything and open the red door.  Run towards
the door on the right and get a shinespark.  Get up against the door and
shouldercharge to the left.  When you hit the wall shoot down.  Look on the
ground you will see some small block like things.  Start running and counting
the blocks, as soon as you get a speed boost, shinespark.

Go back to the 5th block and shoulder charge up on the right half of that
block, get the power bombs and jump down.  Go left to where the brown pillar
in the background is.  Run right and shinespark.  This can be a bit tricky.
Shoulder charge left into the slant so that you start running.  But Jump
before you hit the bridge, space jump to the left and above the wall.  When
above the wall, stop jumping and land on top of the floor, you'll fall through
and see the power bomb.

After getting this shoot the floor to the right and drop down.  Go to the sixth
block on the ground and then come back to the left shinespark and shoulder
charge up.  Go back to the right and shinespark before you hit the end.  You
need to Shoulder charge through the door.  When you hit the red door, go down
and through the next room. Be careful not to fall through the pit blocks.

Rather Screw attack the wall in front of you.  Go in past the hatch, lay a
power bomb, and do your best to get the power bomb.  This can be difficult.
Roll over and when you fall on top of the pit blocks get out of ball mode and
jump until you can grab onto the ledge, roll in and grab the power bomb.  Now
screw attack the floor and go right, open the barrier and get the missile
upgrade. Now go all the way back to the restricted area.

---------------------------------------

When you get in, start running left picking up a speed boost.  Go past the
save room.  After you open and go through the next door.  Press down to
shinespark.  Go to the center and shoulder charge up.  If you were in the
correct spot you should go right through the power bomb.  Now Adam will yell
at you for a little bit, but no worries, he ends up being on your side in the
end.  Now go back up to sector 1.

-------------------------------

Go ALL the to the verticle shaft with nothing but the space pirates, space jump
up and go into the right door this time.  Go right past the room with the
environmental stabalizer.  You should pick up a speed boost right as you go
through the door.

Shinespark and shoulder charge up as soon as you get into the next room.  Go
through the hatch on the left.  Go all the to the left until you fall down
through some pit blocks.  When you roll under the pillar lay a mine and let it
blow up the wall.  Now head left to the save room.  

Save 8 Goal Time*****
1:15 - 1:30
-44(230) Missiles(4 More)
-18 Energy Tanks(2 More)
-25(58) Power Bombs(7 More)

Now inside the save room open the door and get to the left side.  Start
running to the right shooting the enemies when you enter, open the door and
through the wall in the next room.  shinespark in the next room, do a screw
attack to the right and kill the crab.  Go to the right wall and Shoulder
charge up to yet another power bomb.

Run back to the save room, picking up a speed boost, when you get into the save
room, shinespark and open the door, go past the stairs, then shoulder charge
into the stairs and speed boost to the right.  Shinespark right when you go
through the second door, space jump up to the door on the left, shoot it and
shoulder charge through.

When you get towards the end shinespark, get into the pit and shoulder charge
up.  Get the energy tank and go back down and through the top right door.  Head
right until you can't go right any more now go up left and up to the top of
this verticle shaft.

Go left past 3 more hatches.  Jump up to the green door and go right.  Screw
attack the ceiling and get the power bomb.  Now jump against the right wall
and roll through into sector 2.

-------------------------------
|                             |
|  23. Sector 2(Third Visit)  |
|                             |
-------------------------------

When you enter shinespark right before you hit the wall, screw attack it, grab
the missile upgrade, then shoulder charge to the right.  Go in past the hatch
and go down.  Go into the top right door of the large room.Go all
the way to the security room and Screw attack the top left wall.  Go in here
and into the next room.  DO NOT TOUCH THE GROUND EXCEPT WHERE I TELL YOU TOO!!!

Start space jumping.  Go over the first pillar, and under the second and over
the third.  Drop into the hole but dont hit the ground.  Keep space jumping
left over to the power bomb.  Now space jump right and go out of the hole and
head left and grab the energy tank.  Fortunately if you fall on your way to
the energy tank you can jump up fast enough to get out and keep space jumping.
Now leave this room, and get back into the large room.  Roll into a ball and go
through the small opening in the bottom right of this room.

Go into the door at the bottom.  Go into the next room and lay a power bomb and
go down this shaft and into the first door on the left.

Now you need to avoid doing a screw attack and killing these guys.  Or at least
the 2 on top.  First jump up and grab the ceiling wait for them to both be
going left.  Fire a diffusion missile down on the second one, do your best to
balljump on top of it and to the next one, and then balljump up to the power
bomb.  you will fall down, lay a mine and grab the power bomb here.  When you
hit the bottom, lay a mine and get out of this room.

Now go to the next door down on the left.  Go in and space jump to the left to
get the missile upgrade.  Go down and get into the room just below.  Lay a
power bomb on entrance, grab the missile and go back to the verticle room.

When you get into the verticle shaft take the first door on the right and go
through into the door on the bottom right.  After entering here lay a power
bomb and go down and right into the save room.  Go all the way to the boss
room where you fought the Cyclops Leech.  Now Screw attack the wall in the
upper right corner.  Go through and into the next room.

Drop down and lay a power bomb.  Run to the right, then right back to the left
and shinespark.  This is sort of tricky.  Space jump up, press up to get out
of spinning, then shoulder charge right, into the missile upgrade.  after
getting that, you'll have a tough time with this next project.  Run to the
right and shinespark.  Jump up to the next platform and shoulder charge left.
Shinespark when you get to the end.  Repeat this until you reach the power
bomb.

Now go back to the save room you ran through.  Go left, up and then go all the
way right until your in the Main deck.

---------------------------------

|  24. Main Deck(Fourth Visit)  |
|                               |
---------------------------------

When you get here all you have left to do is get one power bomb and beat the
game.  Hurray =).  Go all the way up towards that first navigation room, but
instead of going that way, head up to the  top and through the green door on
the right.  Get the power bomb in there.

Now head to the large room where you first got your missiles.  Fight and kill
SA-X.  Now go to the top left and turn on the self-destruct sequence.  You have
3 minutes to make it out alive.  Head to your ship and kill the Omega Metroid.
Congratulations!!!  You beat the game in under 2 hours and 100 Percent =)  In
fact you should have had a time of about 1:40.  Great job.  By the way, my
second "perfection" run was 1:24

See you next mission!

Arachnus
Morph Ball

This one is pretty simple, do not shoot his back.  Use missles when he's
looking at you, if he swipes at the air, prepare to jump, because he's about
to shoot a sonic wave like thing at you.  If he spits out fire, jump to the
side and grab onto the bar and wait for him to roll and hit the wall.  When he
does this, jump over him and get ready to fire more missles.  After about 15
missles he will turn into the Core X.  Shoot this with your missles 3 times and
you will have your morph ball, but you have to make sure you only shooting it
when it's not flashing, or you'll waste missles.

Charge Core-X
Charge Beam

Get your missles ready and shoot the eye when it appears.  Until the eye
appears, run around and dodge the Core.  When the eye appears he will shoot a
charge shot at you, so try and fire the missle and jump out of the way of the
shot.  Takes about 4 missles to destroy this one.

Cyclops Leech
Hi-Jump and Jumpball

Get your missles ready.  Stand in the middle of the room, and as the leech
comes closer to you, keep moving away from it, until it jumps over you, now
stay in this spot.  Wait until he jumps into the air and stops.  As he's
stopped he will open up at the bottom.  Quickly run underneath him and fire 2
missles at the eye.  Get out of the way before he hits the ground. If he
catches you inside of him, just lay a mine and you will pop right out.  Every 2
hits he will get a little bit smaller, this will happen 3 times, then as he is
at his smallest form, it takes 3 shots and he will become the Core-X.  4 Hits
and the Core-X is defeated and you have your Hi-jump and Jumpball abilities
back.

Serris
Speed Boost

I find that the easiest way to fight Serris is to latch onto the ceiling and
shoot missles straight down as he passes through, every so often he will go up
there and hit you, but if you continue this pattern you shouldn't be in any
danger of dieing.  Grab on the celing just above the 2nd platform on the right.
If and when he jumps up to hit you up there, the best thing to do(if you have
the reflexes) is to turn and fire the missle right into his face.  After 5 hits
he will turn into Core-X.  5 more hits and you will receive your Speed Boost
ability again.

Security Robot
None

This is the easiest fight in the game.  You shouldn't even take one point of
damage.  As soon as he jumps out at you run all the way to the left.  Look at
the ceiling, grab hold of the ceiling so that her arm is directly under the
line between the 2nd and 3rd block, also make sure your facing to the right.
Wait for the robot to come all the way left and crash into the wall.  Fire 3-5
missles straight down, go right and jump down.  Go to the right and grab the
ceiling right in the middle of the 2nd block from the right, make sure your
facing left.  Don't worry the fire will not hit you.  Wait for him to come over
and do the same thing but this time drop off to the left.  Go back to the same
spot you were in at the begining, the fire will miss you.  Repeat this process
until he is dead.  Should take about 3 rounds of missle firing.  10 hits in
total.  He will then walk off to the right.  Try to kill him when he's on the
right side, it is suggested to just hit him 3 times every time he gets beneath
you.  This way it'll take less time for him to walk to the right.  

Barrier Core-X
Varia Suit

I think the quickest way to kill this guy is to charge up you charge beam and
when he comes at you jump into him and shoot at it.  This way you can by-pass
the things floating around it.  After about 5 hits he's dead and you probably
took about 200 dmg, considering you have about 900 health, thats nothing,
especially since you gain 500 health after grabbing the Varia Suit.  Now Just
kill the Core-X, this one takes 6 hits to destroy, and now you have a varia
suit.  

Wide Core-X
Wide Shot

This guy is pretty simple.  After you shoot the scientist run to the right.
When it attacks you, jump over it and go the left.  When the eye appears shoot
a missile and jump over it.  Go to the right wait for it to come at you, jump
over it again and shoot the eye.  Repeat this until you've shot it 4 times and
retrieve your wide shot ability. 

Yakuza
Space Jump

This one can be a pain.  At the start stand to the side of the middle. After
the fire comes down to the ground jump to the other side of the fire to avoid
Yakuza when he comes down.  Now whenever he's running around roll into a ball
and sit in the corner, but when he stops run beneath him, if he opens up his
mouth fire a barage of bullets at him until you get shot by the fire.  Now try
and hide.  Don't let him catch you, it does about 200 dmg to you in total.
After 2 or 3 rounds of bullets he will will lose his legs and become a bouncing
head.  Get in the corner angle up and sit there firing missiles, you have
plenty of them, so just keep shooting until he becomes the Core-X.  Shoot that
6 times and now you will have your space jump.

Nettori
Plasma Beam

This guys pretty easy.  Get up on the right platform, fire an huge quantity of
missiles.  When one of the little balls gets close to you, just jump up and
fire a normal shot to the left, and start shooting missiles to the right again.
After about like 50 of them, he will break up and start shooting plasma beams
at you, stay standing on the second platform and keep firing the barage of
bullets.  you can dodge the plasma beams or not, it's up to you, but if you
just stand there and shoot he'll die farely quickly.  After he becomes the
Core-X, jump to the right and do the same pattern you did for the Wide Core-X.

Nightmare
Gravity Suit

The DREADED Nightmare.  Everyone that has ever played this game HATES this
mother trucker.  Hopefully we won't have too much trouble with how much health
we have.  Run under him and shoot missiles at his...genitles...until he turns
them on...(sorry, I have to pause and laugh...genitles HAHAH)...anyway, Do
charge shots and destroy his gravity disrupter.  After it begins to flash jump
up and grab the ladder on the left.  Line up with the head and wait for his
mask to blow off.  Fire missiles galore until he knocks you off.  He will go
up and circle around, Jump over him, now try to float close to the ladder when
he comes back around, he SHOULD stop and start shooting at you again, this time
you should be able to kill him.  He will turn into a Core-X.  Shoot this guy
about 6 times to recieve the gravity suit.  When all is said and done, you did
so well you should have only taken about 400 dmg.

Security Robot(2)
Wave Beam

This time he isn't so easy.  As soon as you enter the room, lay a power bomb,
and grab onto the ceiling.  He will get into the middle of the room and start
firing missiles.  Shoot at these to destroy them.  Now line yourself up with
the first boulder-like object in the ground and he should run over and smash
into the wall.  Start firing down.  When he begins to shoot missiles move to
the right the distance thats a little over one of his jumps.  Destroy the
missiles and then after he jumps move to the left and fire missiles at him.
Repeat this until he's dead.  After he becomes the Wave Core-X, do the
regualar, shoot him in the eye when it appears.



Ridley-X
Screw attack

Pretty easy fight.  Use your charge beam and just shoot at his body, avoid
hitting the tail though.  After 15-20 hits he will scream and turn into the
Core-X.  Kill it with 6 hits and retrieve your Screw attack.

Samus Aran-X
None

EASY!!!  When you enter the room go to the top left and you will hear an
explosion.  Drop down.  Do charge shots on her and avoid being hit yourself.
After about 20 hits she will drop down and form into a big monster thats even
easier.  When she does this, get up next to it angle up and shoot charge shots.
It will jump up and over you.  Turn around angle up and shoot charge shots.
She will repeat this pattern a bunch of times.  After a few hits, she's down
for the count.  Now it's time to kill the Core-X.  Do the same as usual about
5-6 hits.  I was able to beat SA-X with only taking 80 dmg.  No problem at all.

Omega Metroid
None

Another easy fight.  When he comes in he will swipe at you and take you down
to 1 health.  SA-X will come in and start shooting.  The Metroid will kill her.
Grab the Ice Upgrade.  Now hold L and run in and shoot a fully charged shot and
two more shots.  If he falls back in pain, shoot three more.  After shooting
the shots, fall back and wait for him to swipe.  Keep doing the same pattern
until he's dead.  Now your ship will come in and save you.
