The dive bomb boss...the Alpha Skree (blocked terminal A)...is easy enough to dodge...but I think it has way too much life. With 15 super missiles and 100 missiles...I only had 35 missiles left when I defeated it. I was about to get to the next boss...but I made the mistake of dropping down to the blue door which leads back to the first warp. *sigh*...have to go all the way around again.
I'm not sure of the best way to counter this. Perhaps your suggestion for save points in the ice area, so you can just warp back rather than having to make the long trek? I'll look into where I might want to put some.
Edit...Ok...I now realize that the Charge Beam is stronger than standard missiles...but I still think that thing has too much health.
Also....speaking of the Screw Attack path...if you go that way all the way to the plant barrier...you get stuck there if you don't already have the Hyper grip. Maybe put a small ledge here so you can jump back up.
Although you probably can't tell, there is an escape hatch there. The wall on the right side has a morph ball path which lets you leave if you get down there ahead of schedule.
Update on the icons disappearing. Now that I have a map station...if you die and cause the icons to disappear...the mini map stops working too. It just shows a empty 5X3 grid. The timer still works as normal.
Is this dying after I did the update where I changed the Game Over code?
The Spazer...does it even serve a purpose now?
It does triple shot, plus rapid fire beams. (Twice as fast as normal.) Otherwise, not really; I guess?
The Arachne Spider...I don't recall if this was a issue originally or not...but it seems to obsessively love staying on the bottom of the screen moving left and right so you can't attack it, and it can't really hit you. I found the fight kinda boring for this reason.
I probably need to reprogram it, since I had this problem too.
Botwoon defeated...engine room fire off...level 3 security disabled. It looks like the room with the four shutters is now completely open...but I'm stuck. I can't actually go through where the gates were. I'm not sure what to do now. I'm pretty sure I've been everywhere else. 230 missiles, 50 super, 50 power, four reserves and 13 energy tanks. Even got the Regenerator and Spazer and Plasma Beams. The gate blocking the Homing missiles is still there...so I'm assuming that invisible wall is where I'm supposed to be now.
Edit...the same room mentioned in half of page two.
The invisible wall staying in place was caused by a script error.
Should be fixed now.
