Have fun, and good luck :D

I beat the game once, without any help (though, it took a while). It's hard not to get confused, with all the areas and rooms to explore!

But, it's a pretty neat game. Big fan of the Metroid series, myself!

Thanks. I think I'm keeping up with where I've been so far, but it'll be getting a lot more complicated pretty soon. I like Metroid, but it seems like each game really has to grow on me one at a time. Even Prime, when I first played it last year, didn't quite click with me right away. I think the next time I play it, I'll love it.

Update on Metroid 1, I reached a wall in Norfair that I don't think I can get past yet. Nothing seems bombable. Looks like I need either the high jump or the ice beam to advance here. Guess I'll go back to Brinstar, I saw another way I could go.

Haha yeah, some Metroid games are definitely hard to get into at first (I personally never felt this way, but many have)

Anyway, i guess if you see any hovering enemies you can't kill, you probably need the ice beam! Though, sometimes, the best way to get through the game is to bomb all over the place haha :D
