[Hard Mode, 100% Upgrades]

Dragoon:
The last Energy Tank is best retrieved using a Shinespark, I... I mean SAMUS personally hates having to Space Jump without touching any walls, floors or ceilings.

Samus:
You'd think Ridley Robot would be as easy as Ridley, but he's actually NOT, in fact he is pretty dangerous, and HUGE.

Dragoon:
If you acquired 100% of the upgrades prior to the battle, Ridley Robot's offensive and defensive powers will be tripled. Being that this is HARD MODE, makes for a dangerous cocktail that can whallop anyone badly. His most damaging attack is his claw swipe which is used all the time, it can be evaded simply by crouching near the doorway or space jumping high enough against the wall. Phase One involves destroying his core's shielding, using normal missiles is the best option, once exposed during Phase Two, use Super Missiles, but be careful not to waste them as it is easy to hit the Robot itself or when it ducks downward and crawls a bit. He only breathes fire at you during Phase One, and they don't hurt as much and are easy to dodge. Phase Two, he switches to missiles and eye lasers, neither hurt a lot and missiles are good source of recovery pick-ups. Claw Swipes deplete as much as 3 Energy Tanks, so essentially 2 hits and YOU'RE HISTORY, it is NO joke when you get clawed even once. ALWAYS ensure you can crouch down to the doorway to avoid the claw swipe, EVEN if it means getting hit by the laser or missiles instead, because in comparison, those are cannon fodder.

*After the Escape*

Dragoon:
Because this is HARD MODE, the time limit is shortened to 3 minutes from EASY's 7 minutes and NORMAL's 5 minutes. Be sure to perform a Shinespark Ball at 5:42, it'll save a lot of time and headaches. Also the Work Robot moves faster if you pelt it with Missiles.

Samus:
The Black Space Pirates are still annoying, with 2, I needed to maintain my distance, otherwise I would be easily double teamed.

Dragoon:
And with the detonation of the Space Pirate Mothership, it would later become the Wrecked Ship in Super Metroid. Truth be told the ending screenshot looks kinda dull to be honest, I think the under 2 HOURS, 100% run in NORMAL MODE had a more interesting still (One where Samus is sitting on a bar counter seemingly conversing with a hooded bartender who could be a Chozo or an alien with bird-like claws).

Samus:
Now that you mention it... that one does have me in a more interesting pose... I look bored in this one...
Oh well... See You Next Mission!
