Revision as of 16:14, 24 September 2011 by Bop1996(talk | contribs)(Locations added. I linked to Zero Mission even though it's already there bc I'm going to have to link to all the other games, it'll be more consistent this way...)
The Energy Tank is a common Suit Expansion in the Metroid series, featured in every Metroid game to date. The Energy Tank is used to increase Samus's maximum energy by 100 units (with the exception of Hard Mode in Metroid: Zero Mission, where each Tank increases Energy by 50). They also refill Samus's energy to full upon acquisition. Extra Energy Tanks are represented by small boxes near the top of the HUD. These, like other expansions, are not required to progress through the games' plots, thus creating two challenges: completing the game with all the Energy Tanks acquired, and completing the game with the least amount of Tanks possible acquired.
Samus must use her Morph Ball and Morph Ball Bombs to crawl through a tunnel in the ceiling of the room where the first Chozo Statue of the game resides; the Tank is at the end of the tunnel.
After obtaining the Varia Suit, Samus must travel backwards to a corridor filled with acid, then access a tunnel down under the acid; the Tank resides at the end of the tunnel.
After ending Kraid and obtaining the Speed Booster, Samus must travel to a corridor with several bugs flying around. She must then Shinespark through several blocks that block access to the Tank.
While traveling through Ridley's lair, Samus encounters this Tank sitting plainly at the end of the corridor. However, the path to the Tank is lined with fake blocks, so Samus must tread carefully to reach it.
After defeating Ridley, Samus must travel to a corridor with pipes that send out bugs, then lay a Morph Ball Bomb near the entrance of the corridor to access a network of tunnels; the Tank is at the end of the tunnel.
Samus must travel to the room outside Mecha Ridley's room, then build up enough speed to break through a set of blocks in the room to the left. She will then be able to access the Tank, but only if she succeeds in bypassing tripwire lasers.
Samus must travel to the glass tunnel that connects the Mothership with the Chozo-built portion of Chozodia, then lay a Power Bomb to break the glass, then exit through the bottom left after laying another Power Bomb to break open the wall. She must then drop down a hole, then travel to the left. Finally, she must Shinespark up through a narrow corridor until she hits the Tank.
Samus must travel to the room adjacent to the room that holds the Ruins Test, then exit through the bottom right. She must then use her Speed Booster cleverly to keep enough charge through several rooms while traveling to the right, eventually reaching a platform where she must Shinespark to reach the Expansion.
