| There are 3 different modes of play (not including Multiplayer mode) you can choose from in Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt:
| | [[Category:Multiplayer]] |
| | |
| === Regulator ===
| |
| | |
| In Regulator, you have 10 minutes to complete a level based in what appears to be a laboratory of some sort. Like Metroid games of times before, you'll find yourself surrounded by enemies out to kill you. The end of the level features a boss battle with a Samus 'clone'.
| |
| | |
| === Survivor ===
| |
| | |
| Survivor mode throws you into a large room where you must defeat never-ending waves of enemies. You simply have to kill these enemies to increase your score and as a result, survive. Enemies will constantly regenerate after a few moments, and you repeat the process all over.
| |
| | |
| === Morph Ball ===
| |
| | |
| In Morph Ball mode, you must traverse a specially built course and collect blue balls while staying in Morph Ball mode. The blue balls create a path that you must follow all the way to the end of the course.

| == Items ==
| |
| | |
| -''' Weapon Energy '''-
| |
| | |
| This item looks like 3 batteries grouped together. Collect to add 100 energy units to your reserves.
| |
| | |
| -''' Double Damage '''-
| |
| | |
| When collected, this item (which slightly resembles a 'biohazard' warning icon), gives your weapon double the damage.
| |
| | |
| == Weapons ==
| |
| | |
| -''' Bombs '''-
| |
| | |
| When in Morph Ball mode, you can set bombs that will detonate after a few seconds. With a carefully placed and timed bomb, you can propel yourself upward.
| |
| | |
| -''' Power Beam '''-
| |
| | |
| Samus's default weapon; the Power Beam fires ball-shaped bursts of energy. Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt uses an ammunition system, so when you run out of energy, you must find items to restore it.
| |
| | |
| -''' Missiles '''-
| |
| | |
| Missiles are slightly slower than the Power Beam, but pack a punch. You can destroy a single target without any trouble, or damage multiple targets with a carefully targeted missile.
| |
| | |
| -''' Electro Lob '''-
| |
| | |
| The Electro Lob is only available in multiplayer mode, on the Assault Cradle and Trooper Module maps. This weapon creates a green ball that will damage enemies within it's area of effect. In addition, the Electro Lob will temporarily distort the screen of anyone (including yourself) caught within it's area of effect.
| |
| | |
| == Multiplayer ==
| |
| | |
| Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt, supports wireless, multi-card, LAN play for up to 4 players. This means that up to 4 people can connect to a single game, but each person must have their own Game Card (which was included with the first batch of Nintendo DS hardware units).
| |
| | |
| All the multiplayer options are available from the Multiplayer menu.
| |
| | |
| *To start/create a game, choose 'Create New Game'. Choose one of the maps, and then tap 'Start' when everyone has joined.
| |
| | |
| *To join a game, choose 'Join Other Game'. Then select from the list of games (if available).
| |
| | |
| == Multiplayer Maps ==
| |
| | |
| There are three different maps available for use during multiplayer play: Ancient Vestige, Trooper Module, and Assault Cradle.
| |
| | |
| === Ancient Vestige ===
| |
| | |
| The Ancient Vestiage is a small area, and includes an open area and a track for those for Morph Ball mode. At either end of the open area, you'll find a device that propels you up to some ledges where there are a few power-ups.
| |
| | |
| Time Limit: 5 minutes<br />
| |
| Map Size: Small
| |
| | |
| === Trooper Module ===
| |
| | |
| The Trooper Module is a circular room, with a number of walls and shields placed in a square pattern. There is also an outside track area that can be accessed in Morph Ball mode.
| |
| | |
| Time Limit: 5 minutes<br />
| |
| Map Size: Medium
| |
| | |
| === Assault Cradle ===
| |
| | |
| The Assualt Cradle is the largest of the available maps. It is a ring-shaped arena with a good amount of debris that makes it difficult to move and locate enemies. There is also an outside area where you can hide, but be careful, as you can fall off the area to your death.
| |
| | |
| Time Limit: 7 minutes<br />
| |
| Map Size: Large
| |
| | |
| == Unlockables ==
| |
| | |
| '''- Special Movie -'''
| |
| | |
| After earning a high score in all 3 game modes, you'll unlock a video preview for the game [[Metroid Prime Hunters]]. You can then re-watch the movie again by tapping the small flashing dot on the title screen.
