The Mission Log is a feature of the Pause Screen in Metroid Dread. It includes a list of events that has taken place in the game, and keeps a record of onscreen tutorials as well. Recorded events include encounters with E.M.M.I. and when they are destroyed; power-ups being acquired or reacquired; Adam Briefings and Samus Aran's conversation with Quiet Robe; and boss defeats.
For each save file, the Mission Log records the events in the order they occurred. Therefore, if Sequence Breaking is done to perform events out of order or even skip them altogether, this will be accurately reflected in the Mission Log.
The conversations with ADAM and Quiet Robe can be re-read by pressing A next to the entry. The Mission Log can also be accessed from the Extras menu on the Samus Data Screen.

Tutorials[]
Slide:
While tilting to run, press to slide.
Free Aim:
Hold to use Free Aim Mode, and tilt to aim.
Missile Mode:
Hold to ready Missiles, and press to fire. Some blocks can be destroyed only by using specific abilities.
Hidden Blocks:
Some destructible blocks are hidden. If you run into a dead end, try shooting at your surroundings. Striking some blocks with Missiles may reveal how to destroy them.
Map and Options:
Press to open the Map. Press to open the Options.
Melee Counter:
Parry enemy attacks with a Melee Counter by pressing at the right moment.
Melee Counter:
Defeating an enemy that has been stunned as the result of a counter will cause it to drop more items.
Melee Counter:
Press while running to execute a powerful Dash Melee. Unlike other Melee Counters, the Dash Melee will damage the enemy.
Hidden Items:
If an area on the map is blinking, it indicates that a hidden item is there.
E.M.M.I. Counter:
An E.M.M.I.'s attack can be countered by pressing at the exact moment of the flash. However, the timing is extremely difficult to gauge, making this a desperate maneuver.
E.M.M.I. Evasion:
While an E.M.M.I. is stunned, it's possible to tilt and press to slide under it.
Omega Cannon:
Hold to use Aim Mode. Tilt to aim. If a target is nearby, Samus will automatically face that direction.
Omega Blaster:
Hold to charge the Omega Blaster. Once charged, press while still holding to fire. Aim at the core.
Map:
On the Map, the yellow rooms are saving facilities.
The purple rooms contain transportation devices.
Omega Stream:
Hold to fire the Omega Stream and heat up the shielding. It will shatter upon overheating, leaving the core exposed.
Phantom Cloak and the E.M.M.I.:
While the Phantom Cloak is activated, an E.M.M.I. cannot see or detect Samus. Remain cautious. Colliding with an E.M.M.I. will still result in capture.
X Parasite:
An X parasite mimicking an enemy will revert to its original gelatinous form when defeated. Samus can absorb the X to replenish energy and ammo.
