Cheat Codes/Hints
How to make smoke come from the arm cannon
Tap the A button as much as possible for about 20-30 seconds and when you stop firing shots you should see smoke or a sort of heat haze come from the arm cannon.
Ice Spreader
The Ice Spreader is difficult to find. It is in a room called the Shore Tunnel in Magmoor that has a glass case. Use the Power Bombs in the glass tube. The tube will shatter, and the Ice Spreader is directly below.
In-game reset
Hold Start + B + X for two to three seconds during game play.
Kill birds in Chozo Ruins
When you enter the Chozo Ruins, aim your gun skywards. You will see birds flying. Shoot the birds and they will explode, with feathers all over the place.
Kind of a boss: Phazon Elite
In the Phazon Mines, their are a couple of the Phazon Elite's being preserved. They are very similar to the one and only Elite Pirate. To defeat the Phazon Elite's you have to stay away from it. Once it slams its fists on the ground, shoot it with your strongest weapon. (Two hits with the Super Missile should kill them). Only attack it right after it slams its fists on the ground.
Linkin Park sound
Go into the Magmoor ruins (Hot place). If you listen carefully you should hear some of the sound from "Numb" by Linkin Park(DUH!)!
Note: If you don't like Linkin Park, don't try it!

Meta Ridley Quick Air Form
This trick makes Ridley much shorter. While in his air form, wait until he flies above you and crashes down on you. Before he flies back up, hit him with the boost ball. If done correctly, he will lose his wings and the ground form will begin.
