There haven't been any updates for a while. But that doesn't mean there haven't been any discoveries. On the contrary. There's a ton of stuff that needs to be added to this site. But there's also a ton of stuff that needs to be reorganized. So, for the next few days, content is going to be shuffled around and streamlined, to make it easier for YOU, the reader. Plus, there's going to be more pictures and more videos for YOUR convenience.

That being said, there's a lot of files to be moved around, so for the next few days, you might encounter some broken links or other oddities. Please, bear with us, it will be fixed in due time.

Added the little "Welcome" thing at the top of this page. Also uploaded Trebor's and _Tim_'s FAQs.

Amasawa completed his 24% run, I added a picture of the completion screen in the 24% game section and in the Screenshots section. (hope it's okay with Ama). I also rebuilded the toolbar with the No Gravity Suit Frigate and Skip the Super Missiles tricks, and renamed the 27% section into 24% game ;) That's about it. Have fun.

24% game is almost confirmed. kip managed to get through the whole Crashed Frigate without the Gravity Suit O_o! Combined with Sesshoumaru's no Charge Beam+Super Missiles, we end up at 24% with almost nothing equipped against Omega Pirate who's going to woop our asses. Anyways it's great! I did not modify the toolbar yet, it is so darned long with around 40 pages >_< anyways, the links are up there, and I also modified the 27% game section into a 24% game section, even though it's still 27% game in the toolbar. Good luck with OP on hard 24% ;)

PS: Banks' girlfriend is short O_o

I have one name in mind. Youkai Sesshoumaru. (kip comes second). He just got up the runic gate in Sun Tower without removing the gate! That means you can skip the Super Missiles and Charge beam, resulting in a 25% game! Wow. There is no section yet for this trick (have to rebuild the toolbar once again), but just click on the link above to go to this new section.

Finally! I added 11 videos in the Videos section. Go check them out!

Wow a big update. 5 new sections, and new information added in other existing sections. I won't list everything here, so you just go check things out :) And if anyone noticed some mistakes, typos, programming errors, please tell me because I don't have time to check everything, the site is becoming really big.

Oh, just wanted to let you know I'll have a couple of vids up soon. They will include:
-Thardus under X-Ray Visor
-Reflecting Pool without Boost Ball
-Ore Processing without Spider Ball
-Phendrana's Edge without Grapple Beam
-Track jump up the Furnace
-Maybe more..!

I did not have time to do full sections for the latest tricks, but I've done a temporary page with all of them stored on it. I'll have to remodel the toolbar and everything so it may take a couple of days before it's completely finished.

l2ag3 just posted a new technique to get into the furnace without the Spider Ball track. The thing is that this technique is so easy it scares the hell out of me! TBJ are no longer useful to get the Ice Beam! Go check it out right away it's worth it!

Finally finished with the website layout. I think it's the final version, unless some of you have any other ideas. It is best viewed with a resolution of 1024x768 or higher. The more colors, the better, I guess. I also added the L-Lock Spring Jump section, this is the technique that helps you make the Fungal Halls/Metroid Quarantines jumps.

Yay! I just added 4 videos I've made! Go visit the Videos section! There is a video of me doing a tbj up the furnace, and the 3 tricky parts to get the Plasma Beam without the Grapple Beam and Spider Ball! I'll soon add the videos in the required sections of the site, and will take screenshots of the Plasma Beam process. Give feedback!

Lots of minor updates. I adjusted the credits in a couple of sections. I added three sections: Ice Spreader b4 Thardus, Flamethrower b4 Thardus, and Phendrana's Edge w/out Grapple Beam. I also corrected a little problem in Plasma Beam b4 Thardus, thanks to Amasawa for pointing that out. I added Amasawa/DEVILBIT's strategy to get the Wave Beam b4 Space Jumps. Finally, I added a spoiler warning just in case someones comes in and don't want to be spoiled. That's it for now!

I filled 3 of the Tricky Rooms sections (the ones in Phazon Mines level 3) and I also added Amasawa's strategy to fight Meta-Ridley before Omega Pirate!

-Zell

Wow. It is now confirmed that a 27% game is possible, even though nobody did it yet. Who will do it first?

I have done a new toolbar, modified most of the pages and added a few. I think most of the discoveries are covered now, even though a couple of them are not well explained yet. (i.e.: Tricky Rooms and Ridley>Omega are the worst I think). It compensates for Phazon Beam before Thardus which I developped more...

-Zell

01/27/2003
I added a screenshot section with Amasawa's pics in it. Also an empty video section (I'm planning!) and that's about it... I think!

Just finished this crappy design. This one will last until I get my computer to work (it should take a day or two). kip sent me his file with all the tricks and discoveries so far in Metroid Prime. I've copy/pasted his document word for word so all credit for the writing goes to him, but the discoveries were made by lots of people and they are all mentionned with the appropriate discovery.

Here is kip's introduction:


This is a list of all the major discoveries people on the gamefaqs board have found about the game so far.

A lot of these weren't my own doing (at least not just mine), but are actually the collected wisdom of many people: i'm just organizing everything into one document and doing some fact checking.

Note that there are plenty of spoilers in here without any warning, so it's not advised that you read this unless you've beaten the game.



In case it isn't clear, you navigate using the menu to the left. the ">" symbol means "before", it just is shorter to write like this.

Send your comments to me via email: geedubois@hotmail.com or visit the topic at GameFAQs Metroid Prime Forum: http://s1.cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.asp?board=32495, it is called "Ice Beam + Gravity Suit before Thardus using Triple Jump (v. 2.0)".

Have fun and hope you enjoy!
