Hey.

I know to most this maybe lame, and likley most will think 'it took you how long?'

But i FAINLLY got 100% items on super metroid!

I used no cheats, walkthroughs or guides - All on my own, I feel sooo pleased with myself.

I managed to collect my final missile (I had been searching for 6 months) while I was on a lunch break in work!

Props to me, finally!

Just curious, which was the last missile pack you were missing?

by **craigrobbo** » 07.13.12 5:18am

You will probably laugh, But its the one on your left in Crateria, the one just below the save station!

I cannot believe i missed it at the beginning of the game.

grats craig

It's never lame to finally realize the 100% of any game

Lots of hard work, memorization, and practice. It took me quite a while to 100% my first game and I still play to try and beat my 1 hour 12 minute play through.

Grats again

Gratz craig!you took 12 years but at least you suceeded and now you can say that you are one of that peoples who made 100%

by **sharonlover** » 07.24.12 5:31pm

no straight speed run

That includes not using any cheats or anything like that. I know I could skip a couple of missile tanks that are 'on the way' to reduce time and a few other things but I always forget in the process of running

oh got it!It's like when i skip varia suit and grapple beam to clear earlier(except for the fact that i need to kill kraid anyway)but i don't grab the varia:)

Same here. Super Metroid was my first Metroid game. Last night I finally found the last Missile Tank. I had a feeling it was located somewhere in Norfair (Norfair Depths). That's 18 years. -_-;

So that means . . .

100% for Metroid: Zero Mission
100% for Metroid Prime
100% for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
100% for Super Metroid
100% for Metroid: Other M
100% for Metroid Fusion

:cool:

I still need to find the last missile in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and possibly that extra one.

by **DarkPhazonElite** » 08.15.12 3:42pm

I've done 100% on:

Super Metroid
Metroid Prime
Zero Mission
Prime 3
Other M

Yes I used guides, but in my defense I'm a married mother of two small children, and I played my first Metroid game on December 31, 2010. So I've played all of the games except Hunters within a year and a half. I'm not a very patient person. On subsequent playthrus I go without guides. I just did my second Prime 1 playthru without a guide and got 92% and never died once. Not even to Prime or Omega Pirate. :cool:

I never used a guide with Prime 3, I only glanced at it for boss info.

Oh, and to OP, congrats! I admire your patience and perseverance!

That's unbelievable. I used the players guide when I was 14 since a lot of the stuff is hidden in totally random places.
