okay, I guess this is now a playthrough topic?

I finished area 3. had zero problems finding all the metroids - didn't even have to go back to the machine to locate one. I did in area 2 because there are a lot of different powerups and it once gave me a spot I couldn't even get to because I hadn't gotten like 3 other powerups yet. that was dumb since there were 3 other metroids I could have gotten to that it didn't mark on my map. anyway, there's only one powerup in area 3 (that I found anyway) so I was able to pretty much get wherever.

I got to area 4, which is 1 metroid, and I always loved that aspect of the game. it ratchets up the pressure when it's just one. I zipped back to collect items from old areas and saved for the day. I've got 4 etanks and a hundred or so missiles.
