Hint: Harder Final Boss

If you reach the final boss with 100% of all items collected, the battle will actually be significantly tougher. Not only will the boss take more attacks to kill but it'll also deal a lot more damage, depending on your game difficulty. Unlock the extra Hard mode and reach the boss with 100% completion for a tough battle.

Hint: Ridley Blind Spot

When fighting Ridley, go to the far end of the platform and drop into the lava. Then quickly jump and grab the platform. Ridley can't reach you and you can easily pummel him with Missiles.

Hint: Spinning Enemies

On the NES Metroid title on this game, you can make your enemy spin around rapidly in certain conditions. To do so, make sure the enemy is one that affixes itself to walls (such as the spiked foes in Brinstar), and make sure it's crawling up a hatch. Next, shoot the hatch without striking your enemy and the enemy will spin around rapidly in midair. This will give you about five seconds to slay your enemy when its defenselessly spinning around, with no danger to yourself. Unfortunately, however, this technique doesn't work on bosses.
