Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Beginner's Any% Route Tutorial
This is my Echoes Any% Beginner's Route tutorial. In this tutorial, I explain how to do the most beginner friendly route. I give alternatives for wallcrawls you don't want to do, and my demonstration run at the end only does 2 wallcrawls.
I apologize for my camera stopping sometimes and not always focusing on my controller. I recently started trying this so this is new for me.
This took a while to make, but I hope this is helpful and informative to someone who's just interested in running the game and wants an easy route to run. The fastest route, which is, possibly like 10 minutes faster, is a lot harder to get into and is way more punishing. I attempt to make it easier by doing this route.
I do not suggest using this route for long; I do think you should add more wallcrawls as you get better. I just think you should not skip Grapple Beam for a while, because Grand Abyss is stupid.
I do not show Sandigger, Quad Skip or Cannon Ball in the demonstration run. If you want to learn about them, go to these timestamps. Bare in mind, these aren't done too well and I will cover them better when I inevitably do an Advanced Route tutorial.
Sandigger 1: 3:08:09
Sandigger 2: 3:15:11
(Sandigger Setup: https://youtu.be/u4V-_P6It-I)
Dark Samus 2 Fight: 3:22:00
Quad Skip: 3:25:26
Cannon Ball: 3:30:00
Demonstration Run: 3:35:14

Echoes Menu Mod. The readme will explain how to set it up; it's kind of complicated and I don't remember how to set it up entirely, but here:

You will also need a USB Loader if you plan to play on a Wii. You can google how to Homebrew your Wii very easily. But for a USB/SD loader, I recommend Nintendont. Bare in mind, loads an innaccurate and you can't run on this:
