Trivia[]
- If Sequence Breaking is used to initiate the Chykka battle with the Light Suit obtained, Samus will not sink below the Dark Water.
- The Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy of the Dark Suit incorrectly states that the Dark Suit was obtained in the Dark Torvus Temple, when in reality, it was obtained in the Dark Agon Temple.
