- The difficulty of certain end bosses has been lowered
- In Samus' visor, you can now see how much battery the Wii remote has left, just like in Prime 3

Struggling to defeat that tricky final boss in Metroid Prime? This video reveals the strategies you need to apply to all bosses.

 

Are you pulling your hair out of frustration trying to defeat the Boost Guardian in Metroid Prime: Trilogy? This video will make it a piece of cake, as well as all the other boss fights.

 

Credits are the currency used to purchase extras in the Extras menu of Metroid Prime: Trilogy. Below are the requirements to earn them.

Credit color	Which part?	What to do?
Blue credits	Metroid Prime 3	Scan objects and items that appear in your Log
Green (friend) credits	Metroid Prime 3	Vouchers that can be exchanged with friends via Wifi
Orange/purple/yellow credits	Metroid Prime 1/2/3	Defeat any boss
Red credits	Metroid Prime 3	Scan a creature/enemy that appears in your Log
Silver credits	Metroid Prime 1/2	Collect artifacts or complete your logbook

Hyper Mode is the highest difficulty level in the Metroid Prime games. Your shots will have much less impact compared to Normal or even Veteran. You really need to bring your A-game to be able to complete it at this level!

In the Metroid Prime games, the explanation states that you can only jump with the Morph Ball by placing a bomb underneath you and letting it explode. However, you can actually jump faster and easier by quickly swinging the Wii remote upwards.

There's a trick to beat the final battle in Metroid Prime 2 (against the Ing Emperor) faster in the boss's first form. At one point, you need to shoot his eye. If you do this with a regular beam or missile, only a small portion will be taken off. But if you use the Super Missile, you can actually take off 1/4 of his health! Take advantage of this. ;)

Scanning can be the solution to everything.
Even when facing bosses in Metroid Prime: Trilogy. Sometimes it's tough, but scanning a boss will often reveal its weak spot. Samus will then automatically target that spot.

By exploiting certain glitches, you can get certain items earlier in the game. Many of these glitches have been fixed in the Wii port of Metroid Prime: Trilogy, but the ones in this video still work!

 

To complete Metroid Prime 100%, you need to scan all objects in the game. However, some objects can only be scanned temporarily, and if you miss them, you won't be able to complete the game 100% and unlock the secret ending. Here's what to watch out for. The first seven can be found here, the rest here:

Parasite	These creatures are scattered all over Frigate Orpheon at the beginning of the game, but can no longer be scanned after Orpheon is destroyed.
Fall of Zebes	This scan can be found in the Biohazard Containment of Frigate Orpheon early in the game and is no longer scannable after Orpheon is destroyed.
Map Station	Can be found all over Tallon IV, but once used, they can no longer be scanned.
Parasite Queen	The end boss of Frigate Orpheon. Once defeated, it can no longer be scanned.
Missile Door Lock	These are located on doors throughout Tallon IV, but once destroyed, they can no longer be scanned.
Hive Mecha	An end boss in the Hive Totem in the Chozo Ruins. Once defeated, it can no longer be scanned.
Ram War Wasp	These creatures are used by the Hive Mecha. Once you defeat it, you can no longer scan these creatures.

You can fire missiles much faster than usual by switching between missiles and your standard beam instead of just shooting missiles in Metroid Prime: Trilogy.

Complete the first part of the trilogy, Metroid Prime: Trilogy, (no matter on which difficulty) to unlock the Fusion Suit in the credits shop. Additionally, you will also unlock Hypermode (the most challenging difficulty level).

To quickly reach 1000 kills (and earn the Friend Voucher), make good use of the morph ball. The insects that latch onto you will die after 1 morph ball bomb, and by doing this for a while, you'll quickly rack up the kills in Metroid Prime: Trilogy.
