100% Walkthrough [WA00]

Follow our comprehensive Metroid: Other M 100% walkthrough to collect every item and finish Normal Mode quickly. Master Samus's abilities and strategies.

This walkthrough is written to support finishing Normal Mode with 100% item collection in as little time as possible, but does mention alternative solutions if the player is not speed running. Your total game time on the file select screen adds the time of cutscenes even if you skip them.

You start off in the tutorial room. Simply follow the instructions given to you.

1. Fire Charge beam at three targets. You have to wait about a second after the first target materializes before you can start charging. Walk closer to the next two targets and let Samus aim at them after she charges before firing.
2. Use the morph ball and drop bombs.
3. Stand in the middle of the room and kick climb up as soon as you can. You can tell where the middle is by the mini map.
4. Fire at the targets with regular shots. Two shots kill.
5. Use Sense Move to dodge the lasers.
6. Use Concentration to replenish missiles.
7. Go into Search View to find the pirate in the ceiling corner. Lock on and fire a missile when possible.
8. An Overblast into an aerial missile will take out the target fast.
9. Lay a Power Bomb. You can morph and start charging this even when Samus is in the process of morphing.
