Challenge Runs in Metroid Games

Postby Metroids 4 Breakfast » 06.10.12 8:03am

Hi Guys! I have something special for you guys! I have an idea where if you have in idea for a special run with rules you follow, post it in the reply section. It should look like this:



Name: Don't Need a Hand
Playable on: Super Metroid, and Primes 1 and 2
Difficulty: SM:5/10 MP1:8/10 MP2:8/10
Description: On this run, Samus needs to complete her objectives without the Grapple Beam.

EDIT: Hey guys! I have another challenge:

Name: SA-X. Is. DANGER.
Playable on: Super Metroid
Difficulty: SM: 10/10
Description: In this run, you must obtain ALL items the SA-X is known to use while getting one pack of missiles, all energy (all you can reach) and reserve tanks (again all you can reach), all super missile packs, and all power bombs (It goes for these, too). Plus, you must skip these items: Charge Beam, Plasma Beam, Gravity Suit, Grapple Beam, Spring Ball, Speed Booster, and High Jump. I have not tried this myself, so I do not know if you can complete the game without the speed booster. but there you have it, a challenge.

??

It's pretty hard to die in a metroid game, so I don't really think that's a 'challenge' per se.

Name: My guess is anyone who attempts it would just call it by their personal favorite curse
Game: MP2: Echoes
Difficulty: 11/10
Challenge: Low-percent run, in other words collect as few items as possible, on hard mode (that includes not collecting the dark suit or any health/missile tanks unless the game forces you to).

I myself probably wouldn't get past the first Dark Pirate, but if anyone can beat the Boost Guardian under these circumstances, you'll have my utmost respect

Playable on: MZM
Difficulty: MZM 6/10
Description: get every single ending picture on MZM, but here's the twist, as we all know[spoiler]the requirements for each picture is different[/spoiler],so, meet the requirements, but with the lowest percentage possible.

Name: One-Hit Wonder
Game: Metroid Prime
Task: Complete the game without taking a single saved point of damage. You may start over from the last save whenever you are damaged.
Difficulty: 8/10; the Phazon Mines and fly-pirates make this very hard, and it's also very tedious.

I don't think anyone should seriously consider this; it's more of an exercise in persistence than one in skill.
Suckers.

Difficulty: MP: 9/10 MP2: 10/10 MP3: 9/10

Title: Super Metroid Other M 100%
Difficulty: SM 7/10
Discription: In this run, Samus can only equip things when she NEEDS it. Don't use something a second longer than you need it. You also must collect 100%. When you have the Spazer Beam + Charge Beam, that will then be your defualt beam. As for things like suits, only eqiup it if you are using it becuase you can't continue the game without it. And during the ridley battle, USE UR PLASMA BEAM! Simple enough?

The "Easy" Low %
Game: Metroid 2
Difficulty: 7/10
Description: Complete the game without grabbing any energy tanks or missile expansions. That simple. Easy, right? Well, it's easy up until you fight a Zeta Metroid with only one energy tank. Nice knowing you!

That is impossible. [spoiler]You need 100+ (I said 100+ becuase I die after shooting the Metroid Queen at least 100 times lol) Missiles to kill the final Boss, and if you tried to get some missiles, but not enough, you'll need more Energy to do the Morph Ball Bombs trick.[/spoiler] You need to think about the challenge before you post. Sorry.

I forgot about the Queen. However, bombing her doesn't actually use that much energy, definitely less than 100 when the total damage is combined. Assuming that you never get damaged outside of the stomach, it's theoretically possible to kill the Queen with only one energy tank and the starting number of missiles. It's just really hard.

I really did not know you can go into the stomach... I might try that later.
