Finished the fifth region and got the final teleporter key; loved how Aliens-esque this "dungeon" was, with the descent into the "nest" and fighting alongside the marines. I know it's not traditional Metroid fare, but I had fun with it.

Almost finished the campaign, just gotta clean up the remaining shrines and mech parts in Sol Valley, then on to the finale.

I'm almost at the same point as you. I already got all the Mech parts and filled the full green energy meter. Looking for expansions right now.

Btw, I must say I've seen a lot of people complain about the whole green energy/crystal collecting quest because it supposedly makes you waste a lot of time in Sol Valley by the end of the game.

But by the time I finished the Mines I had collected like 3/4 of them. And since at that point you get both the weapon that breaks the huge rocks with lots of green energy AND a radar that shows green crystals and rocks on the map I fail to see how this is even a problem. At that point, it took me like 5 minutes to finish filling the meter.

Yeah I've been pretty lazy with the green crystals, just smashing them on my way to my next destination or in the shrines, and I'm like3/4 of the way there. 

It is a bit of an old school design choice, kinda like collecting musical notes in something like Banjo Kazooie or something, but I don't have a problem with it.
