Cheat Codes/Hints
Defeating the Metroid Hatcher
Start by shooting its tentacles until they are all retracted. Then, shoot him in the mouth repeatedly until grapple symbols appear. Use them and rip off its tentacles. After all four are gone, you will win.
Double bomb jump
Lay one bomb, then exactly at the moment it explodes, lay a second. At the peak of the jump lay the last bomb. The second one will explode and just when you get to the top one, it will explode.
Easy Friend Vouchers
Go to any Morph Ball area that has the little roach-like critters on the walls. Simply roll back and forth dropping bombs to easily get hundreds of kills and lots of Friend Vouchers.
Elysia log
On the fourth planet, go to the room with the entrance to the skyway (not the one where the Marines meet you; it is the one before that). After getting the shield for the acid rain, go back through the Morph Ball hole next to the fans. You must jump to the green ledge to enter it. Follow it back to the top. When you get out, look around the upper level. You could not get this before because of the acid rain.
Faster Charged Beam
To get a Charged Beam faster, instead of waiting until it is fully charged only wait until it is halfway done. It has the exact same effect but is faster. However it will not work with Hyper Beam.
Foreign Language Clues
There are two foreign language Easter Eggs in the game, both Dark Samus related. In the beginning, if you examine the life support system, the screen will fill with seemingly-random letters. It's actually French, though, and reads "Vous mourez si votre resistance est forte," which translates to "You die if your resistance is strong." Near the end of the game, you will also find some German text, which reads "Kampfen Gandrayada, die Zahl von einer falschen freund." This translates to "Fight Gandrayada, the figure of a false friend" (though the German is technically grammatically incorrect).
Friend Credit Tips
Bowling for Bots: In Skytown, if you use Morph Ball to run over the Tinbots, you'll gain this bonus. Easiest place to do this is in the doughnut-shaped room.
Stylish Kill: In Skytown, there's a Bridge area that collapses when you cross it. Before it falls, there's a fight with Tinbots and the Master Bot. Ignore them and finish crossing the bridge. A cutscene with go off and show the bot fall to their doom.
Frozen Reptilian Voucher
To get a secret Friend Voucher, head to Bryyo and freeze the reptilian enemies that throw boomerangs at you. It requires great timing, but freeze them with your Ice Missiles when they throw a boomerang at you. The boomerang will come back at the reptilian foe and kill it. An on-screen message will confirm that you have indeed gotten the voucher.
Galactic federation scans
You may be missing the first GF scan. If you are, that is AU 217. It is on Elysia. If you have finished the planet, forget it. AU 217 will be processing new data for the rest of the game and will be unscannable.
Gandrayda log
Go to the same room on the fourth planet as the Phazon Pool. Look under the bridge.
