Defeating Ridley and Kraid hints and tips for Metroid: Zero Mission

Defeating Ridley and Kraid

Kraid: to defeat Kraid, you have to fire a Missle at the eye on his forehead, then fire Missles into his mouth when he shrieks. As you progress, Kraid will start blowing away some platforms with the spikes he shoots from his stomach; you will have to stand on these from there and do your best to destroy Kraid. Meanwhile...

If you run out of Missles, don't fret. Kraid throws sharp claws at you that detach from his fingers, and you can destroy these for health and Missle replenishment.

Ridley: Ridley is ridiculously easy to dispatch... Simply, when the battle starts, race to middle of the room and fire Super Missles straight up at him as fast as you can, and when you run out, use Missles instead. His tail is completely invincible, however, and he will use it to shield himself, so fire your Super Missles wisely, as they are very limited.

Each Super Missle equals 5 Missles, on a side note. If you run out of Missles, use charged Ice Wave Beam shots, or if you didn't collect the Charge Beam earlier, shoot the fireballs he fires at you for pickups. If Ridley grabs you, you can either squirm free by mashing the D-Pad quickly in all directions, or you can fire Missles into his face as fast as you can.
