Story

Imago is at it again! It now threatens the very existence of Halloween! Getting to Imago is no simple task! It has infiltrated a massive space pumpkin and sealed off all entrances.

Legend says that every Halloween three Holy beings appear in the physical realm… perhaps with these spooks, as people call them, Samus can gain access to the pumpkin and save Halloween!

FAQ

Q. How do I get out of the first room?

How do you usually use doors in games?

Q. What is that barrier in the hub? I already have powergrip so how unlock?

You need to get the three spooks to unlock it.

Q. Where do I go first?

You can go to any area first, even if you think you can't get in. Some have secret passages to get through.

Q. Where can I find super missiles?

Everywhere. Seriously, you can get almost any of them as your first one.

Q. Why is the boss at the bottom of the mansion impossible?

Blame captain glitch. Jk, go find plasma beam it will make your life easier,

Q. I patched the rom and everything is broken.

Sorry to hear that.

Q. How do I get the super secret ending?

No.

Q. Is there supposed to be a different image for low% hard?

No, because we had to use that for the secret ending.

Q. I am missing two items and I can't find them.

The energy tanks require screw attack to get them. Mansion and hell.

Q. Castle is too hard, how do I beat it?

You don't. You find Ing and beat him.

Q. I got gravity suit but I still take damage from blood. Why?

Because the blood is actually tourian acid. The beer is lava.

Q. I found the super secret room! What is it for?

Nothing. Continue as though you saw nothing.

Q. Where is the credits room?

Close to the entrance to hell. You'll need to think of a trick to get to it.

Q. Do the speed booster blocks near the entrance to hell lead to anything?

Not really, unless you count the entrance to hell.

Q. Why do I not like this hack?

Because your name is Bob and you are bad.

Q. What are those weird blocks in the map rooms?

You'll find out if you wait long enough.

Q. Is there a way to check what items I am missing?

If you beat the game and reload your save, the item counters will be there.
