Hard Mode

Hard Mode is a difficulty level featured in Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is much harder than Veteran mode and, hence, Normal mode. It is acquired after completing Normal mode. It may be similar to Hyper Mode (difficulty level) (featured in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption), disregarding the frequent use of Hypermode that is only feature in Prime 3, or it could be not as challenging, as hypermode is not featured in Prime 1 or Prime 2.
