Metroid 3, 4 and Prime
Post by RP on Aug 15th, 2003, 1:50pm

Hey guys, just want to know your best 100 % completion times for these games. Mine are:

Super Metroid: 1:49 (PAL time)

Metroid Fusion: 1:36

Metroid Prime: 3:38 (normal, without shortcuts)

And for another challenge:

Metroid Fusion: 1:30 (1 % completion!)

I hope some of you guys are interested!

100% completions: None.

Super Metroid: Been too long since I've played this game.

Metroid Fusion: 1:49, 98%

Metroid 1.5(Prime): Couldn't tell ya. Haven't played it.

Hey, I hate to do crap thats illegal and stuff, but does anyone have a direct link to a ROM for Metroid Fusion, I don't want to go through all of the anime porn links and voting crap, I just want to try out the game and I can't rent it cuz Blockbuster and Family Video don't carry GBA games, and I need my money for GX, any help is appercaited.

I've only tried to beat Fusion as fast as possible, with a time of 1:57. I think I finished Prime in 12 hours the first time, but like I said, I haven't tried to speed to the end. Same goes for Super Metroid.

Hey, ~SPLASH~! Have you finished Metroid Fusion with 100 % in 1:57 or just as fast as possible?

Are there really not more guys out there who own a Metroid game and finished it with 100 % or are my times too good?

lol My fusion time is after I spent about 20 hours MAPPING the whole game out on grid paper and started from scratch. Not sure where the last couple items are though(or what I'm missing, for that matter).

Hey Barry, I also mapped Metroid Fusion to remember the items better.

And a real special tip: After you have finished the game, start a new game from this file and when you pause the game, there are some stats:

found x of 20 energy tanks
found x of 48 missile tanks
found x of 32 power bomb containers.

If you have found all energy tanks, missile tanks or power bomb containers in a sector, an icon appears which is checked, so you know you found everything of that item in this sector.

To get the missing 2 % it shouldn´t be too hard to find the sector and then you only have to power bomb the screens which are near a dark field on the map.

Good luck!
