METROID FUSION HINTS
GBA | Submitted by Paul
The Pogo X's weakness is his eye. When the Pogo X jumps over you, he should open his "mouth". You can directly shoot his eye while he's floating down on you. Then you have to get out of the way, or else he'll jump on you and start sucking your health. There are only 2 ways to get out.
He'll get smaller and smaller until he becomes a Core X. Destroy the Core X, and absorb the free floating one. It will give you TWO powers: High jump (jump twice as high as normal), and Morph jump (able to jump as a Morph ball).
SA-X 1st form: After the screen starts rumbling get to the Second floor, make Samus aim Right-Down, and charge your beam. The SA-X should go to the bottom floor - run towards the door to the left and run back. While it's running back choot it with the charge beam, jump up to the platform above, and charge your beam. After that jump down to the 1st floor and wait fo the SA-X to get in your sights. Shoot it with the charge beam and jump over it while charging the beam again. Shoot, charge, and jump over until the SA-X kneels on the ground. Get close but not to close to it ands charge your beam. It should start transforming.
SA-X 2nd form: This i what many consider the "X's true form" but I think it is a combination of creatures that particular X had absorbed (Hence the fingers on one arm that look like the SA-X's Beam arm).
Once it is fully transformed into this form shoot it with a charge beam. It will attack you by jumping on you but if you stay close to it it will jump over you. After another charge beam it will do smaller jumps that can hit you even if you are close to it. Don't worry, one more charge beam and it is dead.
2. If you screw attack it you get 6 X's to absorb.
When its entire body starts flashing instead of just its stomach it means you've beaten the Omega Metroid! However if you have less than 17 seconds left before impact then you probably will die before you can get onto your ship you will have to beat the SA-X and the Omega metroid again.
Instead of just wasting your missiles on ridley, which hardly hurt him at all, use your new wave beam upgrade which you got off the security robot a little earlier. Charge it up fully or it won't work, then shoot at him with a charge shot. The wave beam, unlike missiles will pierce his armour and go right through him, hitting him about 10 times because he is so big. Only use missiles to escape when he grabs you, and for defeating the core X at the end
2. At the screen where it tells you "Your Time", if you finish the game in under 5 hours, Samus will take off her helmet.
3. At the screen where it says "Your rate for collecting items", if you collected 100% of items, Samus will take off her entire suit.
Core-X:Just shoot missiles at it when it's not flashing.
2nd Boss: Just don't let it land on you and when it sort of hovers, aim up and shoot missiles into its eye.
Serris:If you've collected a few Energy tanks by now, this isn't that hard. Hold on to the right hand side of the bar above the tank and shoot missiles at his head when he passes under you. If you see him weaving in and out of the platforms, he will do a backflip that can still hit you, even if you are at the top of the room.
Varia Core-X: Use the Charge Beam to destroy the mini-x's and attack the main body with missiles.
6th Boss: This jumping spider has a nasty attack where he picks you up and slams you into the floor. To avoid this, morph into a ball and stay in the corner. Attack with missiles when the red tongue apears. Reapeat until the legs blow off. When this happens, the spider starts using the "Space jump" and dropping bombs. Use L to hit the revealed tongue at an angle.
The Root:The Root itself isn't the problem, the Venus flytraps and the pollen spitting flowers are. Stand on the raised platform and shoot missiles at the Root and morph into a ball to avoid the floating grains of pollen. After a few hits, the flowers die and the Root starts attacking with the mighty Plasma Beam. Jump or duck to avoid it and keep attacking with missiles to claim your prize.
Ridley:Attack his main body with missiles, but they don't need to be fully charged. If he grabs Samus, you can still attack him. When he strikes the ground with his tail, run under it while he's pulling it back up. Your trigger finger will be tested to the maximum in this fight. This time round, the leader of the Zebesian space pirates has been infected with X. Defeat him to get the final ability...the powerful Screw Attack.
SA-X: The battle with this SA-X is actually quite easy. Just shoot with the charged Wave-beam and runaway until it's gharged again, then turn and shoot. Ice missiles only freeze the SA-X, and only for a second or two. You don't need to use them, but if your having trouble, maybe you should. The SA-X has the Ice Beam, and it does a LOT of damage, so be careful.
The X's True Form: Simple, just keep attacking with the charged up beam and avoid getting stomped on.
Omega Metroid: Let the Omega Metroid claw you and Samus will recline in the corner. The Omega Metroid will start to advance and Samus only has 1 piece of energy!!! Suddenly the X that escaped earlier reappears and changes back into the SA-X. The SA-X attacks the Omega Metroid with the Ice beam and gets hit, changing back into a blob of X. Absorb the X, and Samus gets the Power suit back, along with the Ice beam. Copy what the SA-X did and beat the Omega Metroid. Congratulations, you've saved the Universe!
After completing Metroid Prime and connecting the two games, you'll be able to play through the game wearing Samus's Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion.
This little ability is not shown in the game's instruction manual, and is needed to collect certain items. To do this trick, have Samus run until she uses her speed boost. Then push down on the control pad. If you succeed, Samus will be crouching, but flashing as if she were still in a speed boost. Get up so Smus is standing, and push A and Samus will fly through the air until she hits the ceiling. You can also go sideways with this trick if you push left or right before Samus flies upward. Good luck on doing this little trick i discovered!
At the beginning of the battle, let loose a power bomb to reveal a ladder over the battlefield. Climb that ladder to the left until you can't go any farther, then STAY THERE and when the robot shoots missiles, just shoot foward to destroy them, then when he charges, he'll bounce off the wall and you can fire missliles right down on him! Then after the robot is dead, defeat the core-x to get the wave beam.
Are you having trouble finding items, and how do they expect you to know when you've found all the hidden items before you finish the game?Well, first for these cheat to work you need to beat the game once, dont need anything special, just beat it once.After you've done so the start menu will show a metroid next to your file.Now, if this is a file you do not want to get rid of, copy it to a blank file. Next, on either one of these files click on it and press star. Then, when it asks you if you want to continue or start over, hit start over.Now when playing the game on this file hit pause and at the top left corner it will show you how many items out of the total you have of life bars,missles,and power bombs.-also while your playing you can view your tim in the lower left corner of the start menu!*good luck
When running with the speed boost (Samus flashes yellow/white) press down. Samus will start shining. This 'shine' wears off after a while or can be used up by doing one of the following:
