Metroid: Other M Useful Tips, Tricks and Battle Strategies

Here's Some Tricks I've Found：



Pre-Charging/Instant Supers & Seekers:
In third person mode, charge your beam by pressing 1 (Sense move + 1 works best) and then switch to first person mode, but continue to hold 1. Once you lock on your Supers and Seekers will be ready to fire.

Desbrachian:
Use the sense move to dodge their attacks and instantly charge you beam. Spam charged shots until it turns red and looks tired then use a lethal strike. If it withdraws into it's shell it's going to fully heal, lay a power bomb to stop it's recovery!

Nightmare 1:
The gravity generator will draw attacks to him, use charged shots to freeze the generator, and then use super missiles on his face.

Nightmare 2:
Similar to Nightmare 1, but he'll sometimes generate black holes which will draw attacks away from him.
If he does create one, lure him in front of it and used your charged shots or super missiles.

Griptians and Mighty Griptians:
Use bombs as traps to knock them off guard and make them vulnerable for a lethal strike. The Multi-Bomb drop technie (Charge then morph) seems to work quite well, and it can be done in the air too.

Queen Metroid 1:
Lure the Metroids into a group and then freeze them with diffusion shot, Then use your seekers on the group or supers on an individual. It takes 3 missiles to kill a metroid, and all missiles have some splash damage.

Queen Metroid 2:
Avoid her firebreath by running away from it or screw attacking over it. Then attack her from the side with seekers missiles, make sure you're out of her range.

Queen Metroid 3:
Shoot her stomach with your plasma beam, and when she swallows you, IMMEDIATELY charge a power bomb.

Use the space jump to quickly get around the largest room in the Pyrosphere. (The room with the glass tunnel and Magdollites, you had to run from Vorash here) It's much faster than using the grapple beam. Between shine sparks and the space jump you can go practically anywhere in the room, even towards Ridley's area, without having to backtrack around the whole sector.

Scanning a Boss will reveal it's HP, this doesn't work for midbosses however.
