Cheat: Play Original NES Metroid on GameCube via Link Cable

To make this work, you will need a copy of Metroid Fusion for GBA and a copy of Metroid Prime for GCN. Once you have beaten Metroid Fusion, connect the GBA (with the Fusion cartrdige in it) to the Cube via the Game Boy Advance link cable. You will now be able to play NES Metroid... and save on the Cube Memory Card.

Hint: Preserve Health Fighting Thardus

Having trouble fighting Thardus? There is a section where you can hide from his rolling. Go toward the platform to the right of where you came in. Go past the platform and turn right. You'll see that next to the wall of snow there is a metal beam. Stay between the wall and the beam, staying closer to the metal beam. Thardus will never hit you here. Strafe out to shoot at him, and hide next to the beam when he starts rolling. This method may take a little longer than the "proper" way, but you'll save tons of health. I left the arena with 200 health left.

Unlockable: Metroid Fusion Suit For Metroid Prime

To make this work, you will need a copy of Metroid Fusion for GBA and a copy of Metroid Prime for GCN. Once you have beaten Metroid Prime, connect the GBA (with the Fusion cartrdige in it) to the Cube via the Game Boy Advance link cable. The Metroid Fusion suit will now be available in the File menu of Prime.

Hint: View Idle Animations

Want to see what the heroine of Metroid Prime does when she's not hunting Metroids and Space Pirates? Don't touch your controller for a few seconds and Samus will start to relax her posture slightly, then opens a flap on her Power Blaster and fiddles with the controls. Okay, perhaps it's not the most exciting thing in the world, but cool nevertheless.

Hint: View Real Reflection.

When you find the reflective orbs in the ruins, when you approach it you see yourself reflected on the surface in your armor. While seeing your reflection charge your charge beam and hit the reflective surface. Look closely at your HUD visor. You will see Samus' eyes blinking due to the charge beam hit being reflected off the surface.

Easter Egg: See Your Reflection

There are several refelective dome-shaped wall hangings placed around the world of Tallon IV. If you stand in front of it you can see a reflection of Samus staring back at you.
