So I’m going for 100% now, but there are two power ups I can’t get in Sector 1. They’re both in that narrow facility area in the northwest corner. One is to the left of the shaft you can shinespark up, and the other is in the room right before the big observation room with the morph ball tunnel.
But on another note, I’m playing through hard mode. Just got Speed Booster, and I must say, it is quite hard. Goyagma was a pain in the ass. Three hits, and you’re dead.
There is one expansion that if you don’t get it in the beginning of the game, you have to wait until after you beat the bonus boss after the credits to get it during the escape. There are in fact two items I’ve only ever gotten post-escape, but I hear you can get the other one any time. I just haven’t figured out how.
In any case, keep that in mind–they’re both in the main sector, though.
Also, Hard Mode Ridley is the most fun I’ve ever had with a Metroid game. Ever. SO intense and awesome, even if it did get frustrating.
Same, actually <.<;
My siblings busted the wire up for the stock one.
Though I haven’t actually noticed an improvement aside from, like, the sun shining in on the TV I’m playing on or something. And it’s not enough of an improvement to convince me I don’t have to walk over and shut the blinds as soon as that happens.
