The Metroid Quiz

Alright, it's time to reveal the correct answers. I don't think that I am getting more than eight responses anyway. A Zelda thread would probably be far more popular.

Anyway, first off I want to congratulate everyone who knew all the correct answers. Or rather that would have been what I did, if somebody actually knew them all. The closest anyone got was nine out of ten. The correct answers are as follows:

 

• 1B
• 2B
• 3B
• 4B (At the time of writing I had forgotten that the secret area actually doesn't belong to sector 6, but it doesn't change the outcome. The secret area is located on the main deck, so it isn't a separate sector anyway.)
• 5B
• 6B
• 7B (The wording of this question may have been confusing, but I think everyone understood what I meant anyway. Metroid Prime 2's defining characteristic is the dual world concept which had been used in A Link to the Past before.)
• 8B (The common assumption here was that this question had to be taken literally, but it actually was just about a deliberate spelling error. There is no Elyssia, only an Elysia.)
• 9B
• 10 (And this is where everyone failed without exception. I mean, how gullible can people be? When the answer is B nine times in a row, you should be prepared for the last question's correct answer to not be B. The simple trick here was to place Metroid Prime on the B spot, because it was easy to confuse it with Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3 which both tapped out at 255 due to the additional five missiles from the multitarget missile upgrade. The answer wasn't A either, because there were 50 missile expansions in Super Metroid which means that the maximum amount of missiles you can carry is 250 just like in Metroid Prime. On the other hand, Metroid Fusion only contains 48 missile expansions, that's 240 missiles. However, you receive ten missiles when you first get the ability to fire off missiles, so the total is once again 250. Why in the world did everybody assume that a multiple choice quiz compiled by RolStoppable would always have to include one correct answer?)

 

Super Metroid has 46 expansions for a total of 230. Video Walkthrough 100%

230 missiles, 50 Super Missiles and 50 Bombs.
