I actually kind of like how the achievement system is also built into community since you get people on different forums making deals to get friend tokens.

And as an aside, I like that you can exchange the token for stuff.

I got me a Mii Bobblehead in my ship.

And it's decked out with bumper stickers

so my Ship is rolling deep with a Triforce on it's hood.

Yeah, you weren't active on mine either, not sure what that's about. But we've obviously exchanged friend vouchers, so now you lit up on my screen.

Just beat it about 45 seconds ago. The last fight is fun, but I don't know that it's the most difficult in the game. Either way, 90% complete, I'm going back to collect the crap I missed now.

Metroid Prime has what can best be described as an Achievement system.

There are 4 types of coins you can get.

Red ones.. which think get for scanning important things

yellow for defeating certain enemies generally bosses

another color which is for scanning enemies but drawing a blank

And then Green Vouchers for certain special feats such as killing 100 enemies, or using Boost ball to kill androids.

Now the Green Vouchers themselves are not worth anything to you. What you have to do is send them to a friend who can then take your voucher and turn it into a Friend Token.

Now with all of these Tokens you are able to unlock certain specials in the game.

case in point, I used my friend vouchers to buy a Mii Bobblehead which is on the cockpit of Samus' ship and Bumper stickers which cleverly enough uses Nintendo games you have on your console so that my ship now has stickers of Excite Truck, Wario Ware, Zelda and Super Paper Mario. My favorite part is the fact that there is a giant Triforce on the nose of the ship.

~Edit~

Just turned on the game
Thanks TML got 5 friend vouchers from you.
Will try my best to get you back the same number but sending to like 5-6 people.

I'm at 97% right now... Just over 15 hours played... I'm going nuts trying to find the last few. And I really want to do it all without a guide my first time through.

Then it's on to 100% on Hypermode when I'm finished.

Did you use the Chozo Observatory to locate all of the items?

Why do you feel dirty, it's in the game for a reason haha.

I just.. how do I phrase this without spoiling too much

I just fought a boss from earlier in the game again.

Awesome fight.

But so far all of them have been pretty damn good.

Hypermode is going well, it's as difficult as I had hoped. I'm glad I went through Veteran on the first run through, though.

Talking about hard, last weekend I tried to beat Metroid Prime (1) again... In both tries I couldn't kill the boss. I must have lost my touch. Also, the way to it is very annoying, with all the Metroid who keep respawning...

I also started in MP2, it's good so far. A bit different than MP1, but I guess that's good. It's not too hard yet, I just got my bombs back from that worm.

[manasecret]

Wow this game is sucking me in like MP 1 & 2 never could.

[Angrist]

84%, 19:47.
Nice ending, though it left me with some questions. I guess I'll search for those last 16 items to get the 100% ending.

Great game.

[manasecret]

Got 100%, nearly beat the final boss, but then I died. Bah. Had to call it quits for the night.

Oh, btw, I need more friend crediiiiiiiiiits!
