Favorite Boss?

the hive mecha is a coward. using all those poor little war wasps to fight for him.

Is it cowardice, or pure genius? Why fight for yourself, when you can sit back, look totally wickedbadawesome, and make the worker bees do the work for you? Come on now, it's brilliant!

I nominate Hive Mecha for the Nobel Peace Prize.

You know how bad-ass Hive Mecha is? Current speed run routes completely avoid him. Even kip, Radix,and zoidi are afraid of Hive Mecha!

I rest my case :D

But will continue to be a staunch supporter of our boy, Hive Mecha, posting of his greatness.

(first post!)
My first death was against Hive Mecha.

Couldn't jump out of the poison!!

Only other boss to kill me was Omega Pirate.

Only other death was from lava in magmoor, while doing the dbjs to get to the energy tank .. Ironically, I thought I had to do those dbjs to go back to the rest of magmoor :(

3 deaths first time through, average, good, or bad?

...Are you orange?

I wonder who my favourite boss is, eh Shocked

? Go on, take a wild guess... :D
Seriously, nothing beats Omega Pirate. He's so damn big! And then's there's his pulse-pounding music, cool animations, bone-breaking attacks...he rules! That is, I rule! I am Omega Pirate! Aaaargh!

My first death was when I was going to the morph ball tunnel in the room behind hive mecha :(

Anywho, for difficulty, its a tie between omega pirate and meta ridley

Omega Pirate: Got him 3rd try because it kept locking on the pirates when he was reappearing.

Meta-Ridley: I walked in with ALL energy tanks and everything except 95 missiles (my max was 155). I walked out with no missiles and 82 energy left.

Coolness is also a tie between Meta-Ridley and Omega Pirate

Omega Pirate: The badass looking Phazon Suit you get

Meta-Ridley: COME ON! HE'S RIDLEY (my first REAL Ridley fight, not that X bullshit)!!!

First post, woohoo!

The best bosses are Meta Ridley and Metroid Prime. Nothing can beat the awsome coolness of that giant freaky shining spider thing, and Ridley is just classic.

Omega Pirate is just annoying. I keep targeting his reinforcements, argh!

Flaahgra is also annoying, with those stupid mirrors. Good thing you can skip them :) The music is really cool though.

Hive Mecha is useless.

By the way, I just finished my 200% hard game today. Yesh, that was a bit difficult. My time was 10:27 (a really crappy time, I know).

How the hell did you get 200% Is there a time warp glitch just like there is in Super? We'd all like to know

I mean 100% scans and 100% items.

:( I was hoping there really was a time warp glitch just like in super. Just imagine, you're at metroid prime and BOOM, you're back at the Space Pirate Frigate (after you lose all your stuff).

Didn't someone here say something to the effect that the Frigate only enemies are invulnerable to the Plasma Beam?

Basically, you equip Spazer and Plasma at the same time (normally only one of them can be equipped) and then shoot.

As for bosses, I love Ridley.

I like Ridley myself, as he's so hard.

And (sorry if this is turning into a chat about Super Metroid) is there some sort of condition you need to fulfill before you can equip both spazer and plasma?

Nothing more than that you have to collect them both first ^__^

And get it the right room. You basically use a glitch to click things so fast on the item selection screen that you end up with both. When you fire it, you basically rip the code apart into little tiny pieces and cause the game to panic. Usually, you end up overwriting much of the room with garbage (temporarily), and usually that overwrites you, crashing the game. BORING! However, there's one place you can do it where you end up back at the beginning with all the item flags reset.

More specifically, the big room to the left of Wrecked Ship.

I've noticed that you CAN fire with it in other rooms too, but ONLY if you use it to open doors at point-blank range.

Edit: Well, I guess you can fire at anything at point-blank range... as long as you only see the black/purple explosion.

Also in the room to the right of the big shaft in Crateria (Old Tourian part). Well...... that is kinda what I do know in SM, I mean I have done it so much that my energy tanks, on the menu select screen are almost off the screen!
