Story

The Space Pirates and Ridely flash freeze an unknown planet. Though their intentions are not fully known, Samus gets word of their actions and sets out to end them.

Her intentions however, are known. She simply stated before she left for the planet, "I'm bored and want to kill things." Seems noble.

Game tips

ShowRequired Items and Bosses Items - Hi-Jump, Morph, Bombs, Super Missiles, Speedbooster, Missiles. Bosses - Imago, Mecha-Ridely, Black Space Pirates Guarding Gate. All other items/bosses are un-needed but help. Try to get every ending.

ShowImportant notes There are 52 items. You start with 2 of them. Black Pirates are weak to Missiles. Normal Missiles are buffed. Super Missile fire rate is slowed for balance. Beams fire slightly faster. Having all beams gives a large damage boost. There's an easter egg room. A quick look around will ensure you find it. If Mecha is too hard, get more items. It is the final boss after all. All difficulty modes work. Insane mode is quite the challenge (not really recommended). Low% is also quite the thing, go for it if you want some new ending images. Shinespark puzzle not required to beat the game.
