Stats were completed in 6:15hrs at 62% complete. Would have been significantly higher, but I didn't realize that if you go to a recharge station after killing Ridley that it locks you out of all of the other sectors. So I was unable to go back and get a bunch of crap I missed. Normally my first play through on Metroid games is in the 80%~90% completion area.

The whole game is open to you after killing Ridley. Perhaps not right away, but it definitely is once you've received your final orders.

AFter I beat Ridley and gained scew attack, I tried every way possible via tubes or gaining access to inner pathways and I was blocked at every turn. The main ways had locked doors after the recharge stations. I then figured I missed some opporutunity so I just went on to the end. Beat the game and out of curiousity looked up a walkthrough to see where I missed my final opportunity as it seemed odd that many areas required screw attack, but I couldn't get it until after ridley.

The walkthrough stated to not use a recharge station after you beat ridley or its all locked down. Now, I haven't continued post-ending, but I would assume its open now.
