Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Glitches and Tips

[Scorpinox]

Some tips and stuff for Metroid 3, if you know some more stuff then post away The tips are mostly general type stuff that are useful but not obvious in the game, if you want specific help on something go look for a game guide (gamefaqs.com) or I could help ya if you ask.

Unlimited Friend Vouchers Glitch
To do this you'll need an SD memory card for your Wii. Start a game and get a good amount of friend vouchers the traditional way (Near the beginning of the game you'll find a room with a ton if tiny little monsters crawling all over and continuously respawning, you can get 10 vouchers decently fast by mowing down 1000 of them).

Now go to your Wii desktop and in the data management, copy your saved game file to your SD memory card, this is your "backup" game. Now go into metroid again and send your vouchers to your friend, then go back to your Wii desktop, delete the saved game off your Wii and restore it with your backup, now you can go back into metroid and send the same vouchers again and again to whoever.

Alternately, if you have access to 2 Wii's you could transfer the SD card between them and keep restoring your save file, and send vouchers to the other Wii.


Locations of Suit Upgrades In-Game
This one you can find out just by exploring a bit, but it helps to know it exists and what to look for. In the sky level, theres a circular room with lots of morphball tracks covering the walls and a satellite in a corner. If you bomb all the glowing slots in the wall you'll get locations on your map for every suit upgrade in that area. You'll have to return to this area near the end of the game to get the final map (last visor and last weapon upgrade needed).
**Note this doesn't include EVERY item, there are several on the Valhalla, and you can't unlock the map for that area, if you are missing a couple and can't figure it out, they're probably in the ice area which can't be seen from the start menu map**

Voucher/Credit/Token/Acheivement/Whatever FAQ
Whats up with credits and how do I get em?
They're like achievements, but harder to show off to friends. You can use the tokens to buy extras like concept art, music tracks, and a screenshot tool.
Red - Scan Enemies and Items for them (remember to get bosses before you beat em)
Blue - Scan Lore and perform some side tasks
Green - Friend Vouchers, kill up to 1000 enemies and perform special tasks like bowling down robots or ripping jet packs off enemies. These vouchers are sent to your friend and it gives them green credits, for you to get the credits they must send vouchers to you. So if you're a loner without internet access then you're out of luck.
Gold - Kill bosses and perform main quest missions. You can also get several by defeating Red Phaazoid monsters, and you get one for getting a score of 10 in the training minigame at the start of the game.

How many tokens do I need to buy all the extra stuff?
108 Red
51 Blue
15 Green
52 Gold

WTF I can't get 52 Gold Tokens!
If you start the game over again in hyper difficulty (unlocked after beating once) you can get all the Gold tokens again, plus you can scan some of those monsters that are one time scans that you might have missed, this is the only way to get enough gold tokens.



It's a fun game, personally not sure if it's worth unlocking all the extra stuff, some people are obsessive about that though. I managed to beat it with the 100% ending (3 endings btw depending on the % of suit upgrades you got) without using any game guides and took about 15 hours, so it's not too hard and a lil short. I tried to make this as spoiler free as possible, some things are unavoidable though.
