Completed Remix Stage 1 with 3 stars, and most of DK with 3 stars minus last stage with 2 stars.

Got Ice Beam, Screw Attack, Max Energy Tanks, got to 200 missiles total and got through Areas 6 to 10. The final boss was especially fun with the roll in gut and bomb technique. Overall was really fun!

Finished Prologue and Chapter 1.

Did M1-1-1 missions, all of M1-2 missions, most of M4-1 missions, two of M8-1 missions (Got Ifrit), and did all the M8-2 Mako stone missions.

Playing through Metroid Deep Freeze, it's been really fun!

Good choice of the "Stealth sneaking away from Space Pirates theme for the main song" and the sprite visuals look very cool, I like how the map was color coded to match the black and light blue color scheme for the map. I like the order you get the power ups in this, it's interesting holding off on the bomb for a good awhile like what Dread did.

I really liked that you could only get the Plasma Beam due to shinesparking upward, and I managed to do it.

I discovered that Samus can do the Super Metroid thing of wall jumping up the same wall and not being forced to only jump to the side like in Fusion, though the timing is different from how it is in Super. It's so much easier to do with the Joystick on the Wii U Gamepad than on the 3DS circle pad, that's just annoying there.

Found a super cool thing, I found out there was a part in the top right half of the map where I could shinespark refresh via running constantly into sloped edges after killing two enemies in the way, and I managed to get to a part (thanks to a little save stating) where I shinesparked up to get an early Power Bomb! Now I can delete the part in that same top right half of the map above a chozo statue to destroy a power bomb block spot, and also destroy that yellow hatch I found before, allows for fun advanced tech speedrunning.
You destroyed that power bomb block spot to get another power bomb upgrade!

You went through the Power Bomb hatch and found the Ice Suit (lets you move freely under frigid water and looks cool as a greyish blue) and fought a cool dark Ridley that was black and red!

Managed to get to Mecha Ridley thanks to the Ice Suit which let you go underwater where the other shinespark part was, and you beat him after realizing you could just hold down the R button and fire while jumping in place which you didn't know in Zero Mission original (and doing it on the 3DS was far more hard on your hands due to the smaller system and since your hands aren't small like when you were a kid anymore).

Did the epic escape sequence (died a few times and reloaded with save state). Overall was really fun! Definitely a hack meant for experienced Metroid players who know the Shinespark and Shinespark run up slopes to refresh tech for sure though.

Beat Mother Brain

Starting this on a whim and ngl, it's actually pretty fun so far!

The first interesting things I noticed is unlike Metroid NES, Samus can crouch now, she can fire downward when in the air, and she has morph ball from the start along with 30 Missiles, really cool how she kept a good chunk of power ups from Metroid NES. The game already feels a lot better, playing on the color filter which looks really nice and it has a lot of QoL already, linear but guides you well!

I left off on the map part of Area 1 where the two A's are (I'm right next to the A that points right on the map I'm using)

Killed one Metroid, only 39 left to go.

Got Morph Ball first to the left of Samus as usual, then got the Missiles, and Morph Bombs.

Hiked down to Norfair t o get High Jump, went back up to above the palce where High Jump was to get a ton of missile upgrades, then went back to where I got high jump and went behind the chozo room exit there via bombing the purple bubble walls, and got the screw attack, then went to where Ridley was and killed him and got 60 missiles from beating him, then went back up to find Kraid.

A trick you gotta use to escape rooms you normally can't jump out of in Metroid is that you gotta wait for the right time when you break blocks, then jump before the bottom most block you shot reforms and you can use it as a platform to escape.

Got the only Energy Tank in Kraid's lair and then went to fight him by going down one floor, going all the way to the right and down a long shaft, then all the way to the left and found Kraid to kill.

Got to stage 3, stage 3 was really hard

Got 100% item completion in every area.

Beat the incredible final boss and the game as a whole, best Metroid.

Got the Charge Beam, Spider Magnet (climb on blue walls) and Phantom Cloak, beat the first boss (Mother Brain looking boss) and second boss (a cool xenomorph looking thing with a Ridley tail). So far I haven't really died to the enemies and such, just the EMMI.

Destroyed two EMMIs. Fought cool Corpius boss too (the one with the tail attacks).

Started game, fought Fawful and landed in Beanbean Kingdom, did all 5 phases of the Jumprope challenge at the border successfully to get all beans, found Bowser stuck in Cannon and learned the Bros High Jump and Spin Jump.

Played the first 3 tracks of Mushroom Cup in Grand Prix, finished Boo Lake which was short but 5 laps, only a few more left to go.

Beat Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, and Piston Honda.

Played through World 1 in full, beat Petey Piranha and got all 16 Toads.

Beat Sectors 3, 5 and 6, and the return to 3 to stop the meltdown reactor. Got Super Missile, Varia Suit, Ice Missile, Wide Beam, Space Jump, Plasma Beam. Traveling to restore auxillary power thing.

Got Gravity Suit and Diffusion Missiles you can charge up to destroy stuff, got stuck on the Golden Space Pirates when evacuating that you had to look up how to beat, which was by doing two charge beam shots to their back.

Got Screw Attack after beating the easiest Ridley fight in the series. Was locked out of going back for all the items and railroaded onto the final boss, which was really tough.

Beat main story.

Got the Morph Ball, Missiles and Charge Shot. Fought the first boss and completed Sector 1. Fought second boss and completed Sector 2. Got the Morph Ball Bombs, High Jump, and Morph Ball Jump. Went through Sector 4 and lowered the water and fought the Serris boss there, got the Speedbooster and by extension Shinespark. Went to Sector 3 and stopped there for the night, good progress.

I figured out how to advance in Madiria, there was a grappling hook shot place in the middle bottom of Madiria that was rusted so after hanging on it for a time it broke and I was able to jump through it. Then I wall jumped up and there were some bug enemies near the top that kept knocking me down, but eventually I froze them and jumped past them and got up to where I wanted to be.

I found the Morph Ball jump there.

Then there's another part with a glass tunnel that I found that I got stuck on. Niko said it was the spot he got stuck on too and Chris helped too. You have to use a super bomb on that glass tunnel to break it and you can ascend through it there.

Got Morph Ball, Bomb, Hi Jump Boots, Charge Beam, Spazer Beam and Varia Suit. Beat Kraid.

Played first level as Mario and second as Luigi with his flutter jump Yoshi kick

Got through 10 stages

Beat the first 5 prologue levels

Started the game with Niko! Finished the Prologue (excavation), Welcome to Jurassic Park (where Ellie treats sick Triceratops) and T. Rex Enclosure (Alan/Tim/Lex escaping the T. Rex) levels.

Playing the story mode with Niko via Co-Op and Finished World 1

Started game, got 4 monsters (Healie, Slimey, and an Anteater thing along with a Dracky). Beat the G Rank battles, gotta go through next 2 gates and beat F Rank so I can get to Starry Shrine so I can go back to arena and talk to Queen.
