Ice Spreader

The Ice Spreader is difficult to find. It is in a room called the Shore Tunnel in Magmoor that has a glass case. Use the Power Bombs in the glass tube. The tube will shatter, and the Ice Spreader is directly below.

Hints

Finish the game with a 74% or less completion percentage for the normal ending sequence. Finish the game with a 75% to 99% completion percentage to view an alternate ending sequence. Finish the game with a 100% completion percentage to view the best ending sequence.

Endings are based on percentage in this game, not on time, so relax and enjoy the scenery. The percentage itself actually refers to the items pickups in the game. Scanning and the Log Book aren’t counted in that percentage.

Below 75% – Samus leaves the exploding Impact Crater, calls her ship in, and hops on top of it before the whole Artifact Chamber blows. She stares at the wrecked chamber for a moment, and the scene cuts as she’s about to remove her
helmet. End credit roll. Samus’ Gunship flies away from Tallon. Congratulatory screen showing Samus with a victory pose and percentage.

Fire Missels faster

With the first gun equipped, rapidly press Y + A. As soon as the missile fires, the gun will switch back to beam weapon mode, but when you press Y again, it fires another missile. This can take down enemies in a shorter time, preventing them from having more attacks on you.

View Idle Animations

Want to see what the heroine of Metroid Prime does when she’s not hunting Metroids and Space Pirates? Don’t touch your controller for a few seconds and Samus will start to relax her posture slightly, then opens a flap on her Power Blaster and fiddles with the controls.

How to make smoke come from the arm cannon

Tap the A button as much as possible for about 20-30 seconds and when you stop firing shots you should see smoke or a sort of heat haze come from the arm cannon.

Using Moprph ball bombs

If you are having trouble using the Morph ball bombs to boost yourself up try this: drop one bomb, then one second later drop another in the same spot, then the first bomb will boost you up. Then, about half-way up drop another bomb, then come back down and you will be boosted up, just in time to catch the explosion of the bomb you dropped in the air. The explosion of the floating bomb will boost you up even higher. It may take a while to get the hang of it, but keep trying.
