FAQ

What is Metroid Prime Remastered? It is a 2023 remaster of the 2002 action first-person Metroid game developed by Retro Studios.

How does it differ from the original and Trilogy versions? Unlike the _Trilogy_ version which was a graphics upscale with Wii controls, _Remastered_ has significantly updated models, textures, and effects for modern HD visuals. It also offers multiple control schemes, including a default "Dual Stick" option.

Where does it fit in the Metroid timeline? _Metroid Prime_ takes place shortly after the original _Metroid_ and before _Metroid II_.

How do you save the game? You must find Save Stations scattered across Tallon or return to your Gunship. There are no (checkpoints) or auto-saves, so save manually before quitting.

How do you perform a Double Bomb Jump? This version includes the "Spring Ball" function from _Metroid Prime Trilogy_. In Morph Ball mode, hop, lay one Bomb in midair, then jump into the Bomb's explosion.

Where should you go if lost? Ensure Hints are turned on. After wandering aimlessly for a few minutes, your suit will provide an alert indicating the next story objective.

How do you get the different endings? The percentage of items collected determines the ending; time is not a factor. Scans in the Log Book do not count towards this percentage.

What is needed for 100% completion? You need to collect the Wave, Ice, Plasma, and Phazon Beams; Varia, Gravity, and Phazon Suits; Morph Ball, Bombs, Spider Ball, Boost Ball, and Power Bombs (Morph Ball upgrades); Thermal and X-Ray Visors; Charge Beam; Grapple Beam; Space Jump Boots; 250 Missiles (Missile Launcher and 49 Expansions); 14 Energy Tanks; 8 Power Bombs (original four and 4 Expansions); and 4 Beam Combos (Super Missile, Wavebuster, Ice Spreader, Flamethrower).

What if you are one item short of 100%? The Phazon Beam and Phazon Suit are counted as two separate items, even though they are acquired simultaneously.
