Which do you think would be more preferable to use?
So I noticed this template on the AM2R page and decided "Hey, this photo looks really bad here." So I tried editing this image into this. Should the artwork stay the same or should we replace it? Or use both? — A (t • c) 02:36, August 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * If you take a look at my test page, I'm actually working on replacing all of Wikitroid's templates with flashier ones. Your transparent image definitely looks better than the current one, though. Bearborg[ADMIN] (talk) 02:42, August 17, 2016 (UTC)
 * What he said.  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 02:50, August 17, 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, I was just making sure I didn't leave too many left over pixels to the file. I'll see to the others then. — A (t • c) 03:07, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Reply to "Links"
The names of the rooms that I put on the wiki are used tby the speedrunnign community, as I cited in the "Frog Speedway" page. This makes them more "Official" than they would be otherwise, even though the names are not cannon, though I don't make them up myself.

The Space Pirates from Federation Force
Hey there,

I saw your response on my question about Master Brain, I assume you will tackle that project/page(hope I am using the idiom right, I am not a native English speaker). Oh perhaps you should include the part in which the Master Brain uses the amplification beam (probably the Bion technology mentioned earlier) on Samus Aran, the only segment during which it speaks.

The Space Pirates from Federation Force, should they have their own page or would you like their article to be merged with the regular Space Pirate article?

I am planning to write down a list of all the species that appear in Federation Force and put that here on the Wiki unless you already have one made and would put in the various Pirate types. They do differ in some ways from their Prime and 2D counterparts (for one the whole subplot of them having been enlarged with alien technology)The Dutch Ghost (talk) 02:46, August 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * The Pirates can have information about them summarized on the main Pirate article. And yes, please do make a creature list.  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 03:45, August 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, will do so.The Dutch Ghost (talk) 04:00, August 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey there, I am a bit late with this as I wanted to have this finished yesterday I think I got all the enemies now.
 * I have also included all the bosses (including Samus) and targets that are not technically enemies (generator, transfer device, adding builders felt a bit ridiculous)
 * I am post them all here for your convenience.

Adding a link
Hey there,

I see the link to the List of Bosses in Metroid Prime Federation Force finally works. How were you able to do that? I tried several times to make that link work but for some reason it either did not or the page considered it an outgoing link instead of a link to a sub section on another page. In the end I gave up as I could just not figure it out.

I really would like to be able to do this myself for future use on this or other wikia pages, so if you could explain it to me it would be appreciated.The Dutch Ghost (talk) 03:04, August 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * You mean how to make it direct to a specific section on a page? It's easy. You type in #REDIRECT List of bosses in the Metroid series, and after "series", put #Metroid Prime: Federation Force, like this: List of bosses in the Metroid series .  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 03:16, August 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for explaining. I hate it when I am stuck on an issue such as this and don't know what to do. Will try this out myself when I get the opportunity.
 * I hope the list and page I made are useful. Any articles that need to be written?The Dutch Ghost (talk) 03:23, August 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * Lots. Check Special:WantedPages to see what we need. I'm going to start again on articles tonight.  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 03:26, August 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Heh, you kind of messed up the work I was doing on the Cloaked Pirate page. I always tend to create pages first before I start filling them in the classic editor, hence why it was so bare bones. Sadly now the information I wrote for it is lost.The Dutch Ghost (talk) 06:00, August 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh shit! I'm sorry. Do you still have it in a back button? If it brought up an edit conflict notice you can scroll down and it will show you your text, so you can copy it and add it back in.  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 06:01, August 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Nah it is okay, basically you wrote down pretty much the same as I did, just in a slightly different form. I see no reason to replace it now. I just added a little bit of background text that I had intended for the original post. Just wait a few minutes before deciding to correct an article page page I created okay? Often it can take some while before I am properly finished, especially when a lot of information needs to be added.
 * I am going to see if I can find a good screenshot on Youtube for this article.The Dutch Ghost (talk) 06:09, August 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright.  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 06:09, August 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * I added a screenshot to the cloaked pirate page from a Youtube video, but I have to be honest that I do not think it is of the best quality. I had wanted to catch a shot in which we only see the outline for the cloaked trooper but perhaps it is the setting of the video that is affecting the level of detail. (or the fact the user is just moving around, causing a blur effect). I can understand if you want a better quality screenshot.The Dutch Ghost (talk) 06:43, August 25, 2016 (UTC)

Is there any sort of audio for the Metroid prime 2 version of "Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior" or is Metroid Prime 3's "Arrival at Norion" the best soundbite available? Signas501 (talk) 06:31, August 25, 2016 (UTC)

Screenshots
Hey there,

Would it be a good idea if I made a few screenshots of the interior of the Doomseye for that article?The Dutch Ghost (talk) 15:47, August 25, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. We need some screenshots for the missions too.  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 17:58, August 25, 2016 (UTC)

Master Brain boss
I would like to apologize for removing the redirect earlier, i wasn't aware of Mother Brain's other alias. I look forward to reading up the page/article about the actual Master Brain from Federation Force, as it will be the only way I can learn more about it without buying the game.

Now about whether or not Master Brain consitutes as a boss itself. After seeing footage of it on youtube, I can say that the battle itself is almost an identical 3D version of NES Metroid's final battle. The room is full of turrets, theres a big harmless target to shoot at till it dies, the end. Althought an extremely tame battle by today's standards, I personally think that if the original Mother Brain on the NES can constitute as a boss, the nearly identical Master Brain should be no exception. What do you think?

Btw, does the game even bother explaining what Master Brain is? Is it a (stolen) Aurora Unit? Latinlingo (talk) 17:32, August 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look like an Aurora Unit. Similar, sure, could be an offshoot, but unconfirmed. I guess Master Brain constitutes as a boss... I did like how they made it similar to the original Mother Brain battle, but it was too easy. I will see about writing the article soon.

Help with Metroid 2 pages
Could you help me out with some info on my pages for areas on SR388? I'm coming up short with research for the map areas, and I've only gotten done with Hydro Station. Even then, the page looks like a wreck! XD Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Signas501 (talk)

I'm not sure that individual articles for AM2R areas is a good idea. Some of the users I talked to when I was considering an AM2R article thought it would be a slippery slope. I was planning to have sections on the page for these areas and bosses, like character lists on Wikipedia. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 00:09, August 30, 2016 (UTC)

The screenshots I added
Hello,

I have been adding some screenshots to the various missions now including several dozens to the last mission, but are these screenshots up to the quality you and the others seek?--The Dutch Ghost (talk) 23:24, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * They're fine. They're not HD, but they are good enough and the game doesn't take full advantage of the 3DS's graphical capability anyway. As long as you can clearly see the subject and it is not blurry, in grayscale or otherwise screwed up, the image is acceptable. Keep up the good work. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 00:06, September 1, 2016 (UTC)

Super Metroid extra missles?
Hey, I asked this awile ago on the Space Time Beam page, but how do you get more then the maximum amount of missles? Cause It will only give me the missles from missle expansions, it won't let me go over the limit, All my other equipment works fine though.Pikmin theories (talk) 17:18, January 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's possible to get more than the max amount of Missiles. Something I read about 255 being the maximum digit in NES technology, might extend to the SNES too. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 17:55, January 31, 2017 (UTC)

I have the virtual console version, and the SpaceTime Beam article mentions having over 999 missles and 99 super missles.Pikmin theories (talk) 19:24, January 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * You may want to talk to someone at Metroid Construction or a speedrunner, someone who would know about the Spacetime Beam, speedrunning, hacking and glitches of Super Metroid. I have never been able to speedrun Super so I don't know. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 22:45, January 31, 2017 (UTC)

AM2R unofficial update
Hi RoyboyX. How've you been?

I thought I should drop by here to inform you directly about a few modders who released yesterday a new version of AM2R. This updated game includes one of the bonus features that DoctorM64 wanted before Nintendo intervened: New Game+ Mode.

This mode removes all the boulders and lava that prevented players from exploring further down into SR388 until nearby Metroids were killed. Now, AM2R offers a vast increase in freedom of exploration and non-linearity, allowing us to play the game in many different sequences. There's also a Random New Game+ mode, which (from what I read) is the same as above except all unique powerups' locations are randomized across the game. Missiles, Super Missiles, Power Bombs and Energy Tanks are the exceptions to this feature however.

I don't know what other changes the modders have done to AM2R, but I'll definitely be playing the game from scratch again to experience the joy all over again. I've sent messages to the modders offering my assistance in any future work they do with the game. Hopefully I can get additional bonus content added (such as my beloved Larva Metroid logs).

Here's a link to the topic page about the unofficial update. However, you'll have to send a private message to the topic creator for the actual download link. Enjoy!

Btw, I also thought you should check this out. Its an upcoming update for the Classic Ridley mod for Project M/Brawl. The original creator of the Ridley mods, BagansmashBros, went on hiatus a while ago, but thankfully someone else has picked up the unfinished work.
 * Latinlingo, you have made my day! Thank you for the news. It was heartbreaking to see that a lot of new content wasn't going to see the light. I'll definitely be downloading this. I do hope the modders don't face the wrath of Nintendon't, and Doc doesn't suffer any consequences because of it. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 18:51, April 22, 2017 (UTC)

Reworking the Metroid (species) page
Hi RoyboyX. I've recently been rewriting the articles for several Metroid creatures, such as the Miniroid, Phazon Metroid, Tallon Metroid, etc. Looking back at the Metroid (species) article, I honestly feel that it needs a great overhaul. That page should give a summary of the species, but with an organized section that lists every single Metroid variant to have ever existed. This list would be similar to the manner in which the life cycles of the Tallon and Phazon Metroid strains are presented in their respective articles. Each name presented in the list would contain a link to the articles associated with it.

I'd also like to suggest that the Metroid (species) article should not focus so much on the larval jellyfish stage. I think a new page could be created that focuses exclusively on the very common larva form.

What do you think? I could get to work on the Metroid species page soon.Latinlingo (talk) 07:01, June 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * All of these are great ideas. I like the way the Tallon Metroid article is organized, so if you can rework the Metroid species article to resemble that, it would be an even better read. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 23:33, June 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * I finally finished working on the species page as well as started creating the new page dedicated to the larva Metroid stage. Right now the new page is kind of a mess, im hoping to get some help in the long run to make it as legit looking as possible. And in recent news, it seems i now have a reason to buy a Switch! Latinlingo (talk) 02:07, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Good work on the Larva article so far. Made a few changes myself. We'll have to go through all the articles linking to the species page and make sure we're referring to larvae and not the species as a whole. And yes! I was ecstatic that day. I freaked out and I still have occasional crying fits that we're getting two new games :D. I was waiting for Metroid Prime 4 to be revealed so I could buy a Switch. I'll still wait of course until MP4 actually comes out before I get it however. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 02:23, June 23, 2017 (UTC)

Metroid Samus Returns
Just so you know Metroid II (and just remembering Metroid Prime Hunters) are the only games that award the player with 10 missiles per expansion pack. That area is meant to focus on comparing gameplay differences with the original game. -Adv193 (talk) 03:14, June 17, 2017 (UTC)

Zebes Invasion Order
Hey, RoyboyX.

I noticed you seemed to be irritated with trying to find that gamebook Zebes Invasion Order. I managed to find three used copies that are available on Amazon.com. You can find them here: And from what I can tell, they're actually pretty cheap, only costing about $40. So yeah, if you're looking for it, you can get them there and then after getting it scan the pages in and post them onto the wiki. How's that? Weedle McHairybug (talk) 22:58, July 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually, disregard this message, didn't know you already got the book. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 22:59, July 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * I actually don't have it. I ordered it on June 14, but it never arrived, and yesterday eBay gave me a refund. It's possible my copy could still arrive, but in the meantime I've found a video on Nicovideo with pictures and text from the book, and I'm getting in touch with an independent translator who might translate the book. She translated the one page I added to the article today, but will likely expect some compensation to do the rest of it. <font face="Calibri" style="font-size:15px;"> R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 23:09, July 24, 2017 (UTC)
