Points bonus



Points bonuses are score surpluses in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. During missions, the Federation Force can earn rewards of between 25 and 200 points for stylish enemy kills, kills using AUX ammo, or other feats. A bonus will appear in the top-right corner of the Heads-Up Display in a purple notification, with the bonus name and amount of points rewarded. Points can also be detracted for various failures, such as if Federation Force soldiers are downed (Mech Down -500), or attacked by a Zurburat (Trapped! -200). Some enemies, including Ice Hoppers, Boulders, Zurburats and Larva Metroids, will stop rewarding points after a certain number of them has been killed. When this happens, an icon of that creature will appear on the notification, saying “Limit Reached +0”.
