If you have completed Metroid Fusion, linking the two games will unlock the ability to play the original NES Metroid in Metroid Prime. Saving is done directly to your GameCube Memory Card.

If you have completed Metroid Prime, you can wear Samus' Fusion suit from Metroid Fusion in Metroid Prime.

[Doomulation]

That new outfit of hers look stupid :plain:
It might become another super metroid, though, the game was pretty good.

You will have to find the GBA BIOS for this to work, thanks to Lobo for the info

1. Start VisualBoyAdvance
2. Go to: Options/Emulater, click (Use BIOS File)
3. Go to: Options/Emulater, click (Select BIOS File)
4. Select GBA.BIOS
5. Close VisualBoyAdvance
6. Restart VisualBoyAdvance
7. Load Metroid Fusion rom and sound will work

[h-e-l-l-o]

Woohoo,thx alot dude

[cooliscool]

Yeah, get yourself a GBA for the best experience.
In between all this getting laid stuff I have real difficulty explaining myself. SORRY I'm almost drunk.

hmmm i'd be suprised if there wasnt one on megagames.com that site is so useful for walkthroughs :)

And somebody cant run this game at a decent speed, i sugest a Flash linker & card, they rule and let u play GBA roms on the real GBA they are well worth it and u can delete any rom you dont want off it :)

Stez

[cooliscool]

Runs perfect here. Been playing for hours and this is how far i've gotten: (i got max missiles to 50 aswell).

Very addicting. :)

[tbag]

Ive played it for 5 mins but lost on the first boss im gonna try again today because that was at 10:40pm

Anyhow i highly agree this game is on my to get list right after i have my flash link cable ;)

[Gallantmon9]

Sounds great, if only I knew where to get it... Oh well... :plain2: Better start hunting...

PS- I'm new!

[Kaotic]

Anyone else have a sound problem with it on VBA? I used GBA.BIOS, but.. it plays some background beat through the entire game. Is that normal? It sounds fine on Boycott Advance, but I can only get about 40fps there.

Game owns btw.

Background beat is normal. What're your pc specs?

Celeron 500Mhz
64MB Ram
Video Card: S3 Savage 3.5MB
Sound Card: ESS Allegro

[cooliscool]

Well as long as it works in VBA for you (yes, background noise is normal) then enjoy. :)

[cooliscool]

Metroids killing one of the SA-X's.. :blush:

Omega Metroid(and no,I did not use a walkthrough)

Strange... I have a Celeron 700 with an i810... I get about 70% with sound on 22KHz and frameskip at 2.

[cooliscool]

I WIN!

gotta work on that 40% though. ;)

Khan artist: Are you serious? :cry: i810 must have bad directdraw hardware support. Put it on "DDRAW Emulate Only" in video options and see if it helps. With my GF4 MX 420 i can get 99-125% (when there are extreme amounts of explosions and transperencie effects on the screen it drops down to the high 80's) with a frameskip of 3 on all resolutions, gfx settings, 44KHZ sound, etc.

[h-e-l-l-o]

I got 28% when I first got it through,nearly the same time as you cool(it became alot more now...),I did not make a screen of that.I got 58% now.Can not play more because my computer is f*cked,and moms is really too slow for VBA

Overall this game is just awesome,but I liked Super Metroid little bit more.It is a must have...

[cooliscool]

Definetly a must have. :D:D

I think I'm gonna fo through it once again and aim for a much higher item percentage. :bunny: What are your mom's and your pc specs?

[Renegade]

only one thing to say: samus with her suit off (as in, her face xposed) looks damn...good.

ya, its hard..you gotta

-drop down,
-freeze it,
-open the door and goto the next room
-break wall in next room freezing X-SA if necessary
-run like a pussy ;)
-hide behind the tall block at the end


for anyone whos farther than me...do you have hints on beating the boss that can manipulate gravity?

[h-e-l-l-o]

Uh,I already said i got it through=P But thx anyway

The gravity Boss sucks indeed,don't have a tip for this one...I think its the hardest Boss of them all

[pj64er]

ok then :P didnt see that, im tho my part too (i beat it with brute force...not running away even when its right in my face)

now im stuck in a series of rooms after the restricted area got ejected. ive bombed/missiled every wall floor and ceiling, all i see is a whole lot of locked doors..

[Doomulation]

pj64er, in the room where there's a door you can't access, jump onto the ladder, charge a missile and shoot it on the wall. A path will open and you'll be able to get to the next part.

About the gravity boss, i just found out it's pretty easy :)
Just avoid the idiot and blow his face full of super missiles when you can. He'll go down in no time.

I'm in the same place, and it's closed off in that room too. I think it's the blocks for the screw attack. And there's no way to get out, heh.

[pj64er]

doom, i didnt know how to get past the part just before that, now that i do, you helped me out for the the part after :P

welp, you guys can now add me to the list of people who beat this game :P i got 42% in 3:48.

kaotic, you have to go to the room with the drooling monsters beneath the floor. kill two, and let the X fuse to create a golden space pirate. you have to kill one or two of them (shoot them in the back), the locked door in this room will open. then you get the item, then you do what doom said.

[Gallantmon9]

Can't...find...rom...and you make it sound so awesome! Oh, the pain...

[Renegade]

57% - 3:50-something i believe.

with a single sentence from a FAQ author - "there are other ways in which you can bypass the Nav rooms and access other sectors, using the Screw Attack" - i am hunting for the missing stuff.

so far: 15/20 ETanks
40/48 Missile Containers
22/32 PBombs.

Yeaahhhh. after slugging away at every wall next to an empty space (according to the map) with the Screw Attack I'm uncovering underground passageways leading from sector to sector :)

Call it "Journey to the Centre of the Station" :D

[Doomulation]

Whow...i've been lookin' for a damn way to escape with the screw attack...where'd you find that?
When beating the game, i had only found 12 e-tanks :(
But about 190 missiles and 28 power bombs ;)

[h-e-l-l-o]

Not too bad:/

[Doomulation]

I'll probably beat that the next time i play ;)
Good time, though.

[Renegade]

1 PBomb pack = 2 PBombs...i think.

so i've got 44 PBombs. how nice :sly:

[Renegade]

FINISHED! 100%, OH MY GOD! it took me an agonizing 3 hours though...

the ending if you get 100%? samus in really skimpy clothing. :colgate: pretty too!


fun fun fun :D


for now, i'm a bit lazy to upload a screenie, so anybody who wants one can pass me his/her email. :) edit: I know what i'm doing and don't need to refer to a guide to help you :plain2:

oh, and if anybody needs help with getting 100%, ask. hopefully you'll have a screenie to help me find where you are :)

[h-e-l-l-o]

Nice one renegade,you used a guide or something else?;)


Anyway,how do I get this power bomb pack?

[B*A*G*G]

i found 100% items too (didnt even have to use a gamefaqs guide), but i beat it in 9+ hours so i didnt get to see Samus with her pink underwear. oh well fuc it, im sick of this game.
super metroid was way better.

[Renegade]

when i say "agonizing three hours" i meant three MORE hours. altogether the game took me a good six hours :satisfied at least according to the clock. real time? oh, nine hours, give or take a few minutes.

I did seek help for finding a few items in sectors 6 and 4, but from there i knew where to search, and how to do so ;) some were found accidentally.

but it was mainly the mention of other routes that permitted bypassing of the Nav rooms.

edit: to h-e-l-l-o, you can get the PBomb pack by doing this:
1. start from the lower left end of the room and start running

2. soon you'll hit speed booster speed - before you run into the wall, press down to store speed power (when Samus enters glowing mode, she enters what i call "Shinespark mode")

3. do a spin jump onto the ledge and stand at the bottom of the slope there

4. tap A once to get Samus into boost position, and press left to make her do a shoulder ram

5. she'll sail into the slope and start running! quick, the moment you step onto the speed booster blocks, start space jumping to the left - still at the boost speed

6. aim for the top of the chamber containing the power bomb pak

7. you will smash through the roof (made up of speed booster blocks) and getting the bomb pak is easy from there

[Muskusrat]

Here (see attachment) this will help you people to get the full 100% if you realy want that. I am still in the beginning of the game (third boss) and get my ass kicked all the time (hard to play using laptop keyboard). But the game is fun but not ass good looking / feeling has Super Metroid on the Super Nintendo which is much better then the GameBoy Advance version in my opinion.

[blizz]

IMO I prefer Metroid Fusion to Super Metroid, I dunno why, I just do, the new Ridley is damm cool (I can attach screenies if you want)

[Doomulation]

Nice! :D
IMO i think it was stupid to get the map over all the places without exploring them :plain2:
At least that was better on super metroid.

[B*A*G*G]

-snip- [just removed a quote to make the thread tidy - blizz]

easy there killer

[blizz]

here are the screenies of Ridley, they're in a zip file to avoid spoilers just in case.

[Renegade]

Ridley looks so much more fierce in MF.

But he SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, you could aim anywhere and plaster his sexy body with bloody missiles until he goes to hell.

and what happened to the uber-strong grab-and-slam-you-into-a-wall-while-you-struggle-helplessly attack??? he grabs you, yes, but causes only like 20+ damage in the process.

even the SA-X was nuts :plain2:

the Omega Metroid and Nightmare provided a decent challenge though.

[h-e-l-l-o]

Wtf...IMO the Omega Metroid was easier than all other bosses

[Doomulation]

The hardest one...i don't know, perhaps ridley or the sa-x? But they both have their strategies, though. I lost more life when fighting ridley this time, than when fighting the sa-x... :plain:

[h-e-l-l-o]

:cool:

[cooliscool]

;)

[slashkirby]

:thumbsup: it looks so cool! did you hear about metroid for gamecube?

[pj64er]

Originally posted by h-e-l-l-o

yea, i think he was there just so that you actually fought a metroid, therefore making this a metroid game. he was no challenge at all, and i dont think he was meant to be.

if you ask me, the first security robot encounter was the hardest. His weak point it tiny, and is hard to shoot because he keeps moving. Then theres the towers of fire to keep you on your toes. To make matters worse, samus still dont have most of her 'abilities'.

sa-x was easy once i realised that its beams can be made ineffective. ridley was easy...Renegade explained why. Even nightmare goes down pretty quickly against brute force.

[NicePics]

If you're not getting any sound in Metroid Fusion, you haven't enabled the use of a GBA bios file in VisualboyAdvance.
(Options --> Emulator --> Use BIOS file) :cool:

100% sure. :)

[h-e-l-l-o]

Whoa...hard to believe....but I trust you:D I couldn't even get this time by ignoreing all items...O_O

[Jerzart]

any tips on beating the sa-x toward the end of the game?
i've been trying for about 2 days now and cant seem to destroy it.
i killed it once then it turned into some other monster and destroyed me. i havent had to cheat yet, but a little hint would be nice!

[cooliscool]

stay on the ground. shoot the sa-x with a missile to freeze it. charge your weapon, jump over the sa-x, turn around. shoot it. repeat.

[Jerzart]

there just doesn't seem to be enough time to charge your beam after freezing it. but if thats the way it has to be done...

[Doomulation]

Nah, there's other ways.
I used one of which made me only loose 3 lives (energy tanks) against the boss :D

Shortly, lure the sa-x to the ground (the main point is to make it not use the screw attack on you). Remember to charge your beam all the time. Shoot the sa-x when it comes to the ground.

It will then try to screw attack into you (as a security precaution, i suppose, otherwise it'd be just too easy). He'll go vertically or horitorzonolly (really, i don't see how it can do the vertical one, though, 'cuz you can't do it, neither in this game nor the previous? lol).

Anyway, if he jumps vertically, jumps over it and shoot it. If it jumps the horitozonal way, run under it. Then shoot it.

If it would summersault into you, don't jump away; RUN away while your invicibility lasts. And as for a last advice, you can screw attack through his shots. Don't go too far up or away from it, though, or it'll chase you around using the screw attack; and you can't get away from it, 'cuz it's faster than you.

Piece a cake if you do it right, really. Otherwise just try to get all the e-tanks.

Btw cooliscool, you cheater :P that's cheating, no doubt!
Nice pic, though, heh.

[h-e-l-l-o]

Can't do better???

[Doomulation]

Aww, that's really good :plain:
I wonder how the hell you were meant to get the "super" picture of samus. :plain:

[h-e-l-l-o]

Woohoo,finally under 2 hours

[Doomulation]

Nice. :)

[Doomulation]

Now, watch and cry, 'cuz you can't beat me at this :D
