Mother Brain from Super Metroid. Annoying or ANNOYING?
Neither

Hi, my name is Hyper Beam. All my seizure-y goodness to [tornado fang] your [parasitic bomb] up.

The only way I could see Mother Brain being a problem is if you're playing for lowest percent. Depending on what beams you picked, the first half would take forever. But no matter what, second half is as easy as [acid burst]. Just stay in the lower right corner, aim diagonally up, hold fire, Brain go boom.

Interesting... Apparently, Trillogy is no longer being Published/Shipped.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Oh.
Oops.
Seems I missed that. My bad, Sato.

Secondhand VG stores?

Pirating ahoy! Maybe Space Pirates are selling it to make a living. How else do you think they support their lifestyle? Merchandising!

Metroid the pillow! Metroid the Lunch box! Metroid the cereal! And a special item, Metroid the flamethrower!

God all I can picture now are two Space Pirates like in Spaceballs.  owob

Yknow, I suddenly remember the entries in P1 of the Space Pirates trying to reverse engineer the Power suit, And the entries of how they tried reverse engineering the Morphball... XD That was funny.

Training Report, 07.200.08

Science Team believes the Metroids can be tamed. After several hours of trying, I believe Science Team has vapor for brains. I've lost two assistants to the wretched things.


Relevant.

Also [tornado fang]ing Meta Ridley. He was HARDER than Metroid Prime. I had all Energy Tanks and STILL got wasted. This is why God created the Wavebuster.

I didnt think either was really all too challenging once you had their patterns down.
Lol, my hardest fight was Omega Pirate, because I... Forgot he was weak to super missile, and kept using the super wave beam. then after a game over or two, I tried super missile, and I remembered he was weak to missiles. I felt really stupid once he went down in a few hits.

The Boost Ball boss from Echoes was pretty hard. Whatever it was called.

And the Alpha Blogg, thing. In fact now that I think about it Dark Samus caused me some difficulty; little did I know all I had to do was walk away from it's projectiles, not jump.

Not when you skip the Dark Suit and haven't gotten an early Power Bomb.

Saying something is hard if you go out of your way to make things hard doesn't really mean much.

No, that actually says quite a bit about the person breaking the sequence. It means they have a high tolerance of pain. Either that,or they're just plain crazy.

Was Boost Guardian the one you fight entirely with the Morph Ball and there are no light beacons in the whole area?

No and yes. The majority of the fight is in Morph Ball, but by no means should you stay in it the entire time. You need to whittle him down a bit with Light Beam too.

In fact, you can kill him without even having to morph.

Spider Guardian has no light beacons because you fight him in the Light World.

Ooh. Anyone else do the early Plasma Beam trick before going into Phazon Mines?

*raises paw*

It was my first priority BEFORE going into the mines.

I didn't, all the more reason I dreaded the Mines first time through. Although I always dislike going through them, really.
