SM Bosses

From Metroid - Wiki on Neoseeker

Botwoon

Just wait for Botwoon to come and blast it in the head with super missiles. It gets faster so just avoid it and you should be safe. Also watch the green attacks it shoot when it comes out of the holes.

Chozo Statue

It will stand up and start walking towards you. The music is cool here too by the way. Roll into a ball and go under his legs. Then get up and shoot at him. Also use missiles if you have any. Watch for his arm attack and every now and again, he will shoot projectiles from his mouth. These can be shot and missiles and health will appear. Also, sometimes when you try to roll under him, he may jump back and shoot projectiles. Just roll back and jump over the projectiles and resume shooting him. His face will eventually melt off and he will go crazy. Do the same only faster. Soon he will be dead.

Chozo Statue 2

This guy is harder then the first Chozo Statue, but easier than Phantoon. You'll notice he is golden. As you hit him, he will fade back to a dark gray like the first one. Anyway, charge up your plasma beam and keep on hitting him. When he starts walking toward you, just jump over him and hit him. Repeat till destroyed. Also, he has many attacks like the projectiles, beams, balls with bugs in them that attack, etc... Also, do not shoot missiles, as he will catch them and throw them back at you. If you keep hitting him, he should die pretty quick.

Crocomire

Crocomire has unlimited HP. You cannot kill him. The only way to get rid of him is to fire super missiles at his mouth each time it opens and make him move backwards. Soon he will fall in the lava. DO NOT hit him anywhere else or let him alone, as he will come toward you, making the battle longer and more difficult. Avoid when he spits stuff at you and avoid his arm. When his arm starts moving, his mouth will open. Repeat and make him fall into the lava. When he melts you'll see bubbles in the lava moving to the left. Follow it until the spike wall. The room will shake and Crocomire's skeleton will come at you. Don't worry; it'll just fall apart.

Draygon

Draygon is a crayfish boss that can be beat two ways. One way is simple and the other is hard. Two of them are listed below: Defeat Approach 1: Difficulty: Very Hard If you're a challenging person, try this way. Drop down and see the minions floating around. After they leave, Draygon will sway from a side. Equip the super missiles and every time Draygon comes out, blast him in the stomach. Repeat this several times and avoid his spit. If the spit touches you, you are stuck and he will take you and start swinging you around and crunching you with his tail. If this happens, you are dead. Also destroy the guns on the walls so they don't interfere. Defeat Approach 2:Difficulty: Easy If you suck at beating bosses, then this is the way to go. See the guns on the walls? Shoot them before Draygon comes out. When they are shot, they will break and live electricity will be there. Wait for him to spit on you and let him take you up. Equip the grappling beam and when you get a chance, grapple on to one of the electric orbs, and the electricity will pass through you to Draygon. Hold until he is dead.

Kraid

Difficulty : Easy N/A You will see spikes on the floor. Nothing happens for a bit then he comes up. Get the super missiles ready. The way to defeat him is to shoot is mouth when it's open. Watch the rock he spits hot then shoot him with a super missile when his mouth opens. He will darken and rise up to a huge monster. Go up on the ledges avoiding the stuff he throws at you and shoot his face. His eyes will glow and his mouth will open. Shoot it. Repeat. Shortly he will die

Mother Brain Form 1

Just break the tube it is in a keep on shooting it. After a while the tube will be completely gone and Mother Brain will fall to the ground.

Mother Brain Form 2

The brain will lift and reveal its body. Mother Brain is a creature that looks like no creature I have ever seen. It has many attacks that damage badly. Keep shooting the brain part until Mother Brain shoots out a beam that will take most of you life. If you don't have over 80 or so percent, you going to die. If you still live, the Metroid will come in and chew on its head, draining its energy and giving it to you. After, Mother Brain kills the Metroid and then will start to attack you again. You have a cool power now so just shoot it until it is destroyed.

Phantoon

So all the bosses are easy, right? Well, that attitude is going to stop here. Phantoon is a ghost octopus and one of the hardest bosses in the game. He will go around the room shooting out blue flames. All a sudden he will appear again and a circle of fire will shoot out. Flames will only appear for a bit and then he will appear with his eye open and flames falling to the ground. When his eyeball opens, hit him. After hitting him, he will appear in the top center of the screen and will spin out flames for while. You can rarely dodge this. Use super missiles and in five or six rounds like the above he will die.

Ridley

In this battle, you're in a tall room or shaft and Ridley will appear and start attacking you with its tail. It will also shoot fireballs at you. Your best bet is to avoid all of its attacks and shoot super missiles at it like crazy. Also, he will pick you up and hurt you. After a short while it will die.

Ridley's Guards

Just jump over them and wait till they turn yellow and kick at you and then shoot a charged plasma beam at them. It'll take two hits per pirate. If you go back to the room, they will return.

Spore Spawn

It is a big green thing on a stem and floats around in an "8" pattern. Go to the left corner because if find it easier and morph to a ball. Get your missiles ready. Every time it opens it's mouth blast it. It will get faster and will darken but still no harder. Repeat. If you run out of supplies kills some of those specks that fall. Eventually it will die and fester up by the ceiling. The plant like room and stuff dies.
