I'll also refer to the upgrades section and bosses section when need be. Oh, and you might want to take the time to just gawk at the gorgeous surroundings you'll be exploring, there's so much graphical detail packed into this game you might often think this is just a tour of the planet. But remember, in Hard Mode enemies have twice as much health as they did before and you'll suffer more damage from inflicted wounds - so only take on Hard Mode if you've played through Normal Mode and are ready for a real challenge. I'll be detailing the beginning of the game right through to the end while keeping in mind Normal Mode's traits (or Metroid Prime Trilogy's Veteran). Now for the real guts of the walkthrough.
