Metroid Prime Walkthrough in Spanish: What to Know Before You Play
Most Metroid Prime walkthroughs you will find are in English, so this guide shows how to pick the right version and follow one without spoiling the game. It also covers how to use boss and collectible tips as you go.

If you want a Metroid Prime walkthrough in Spanish, expect most guides to be in English. The walkthroughs for this series are written in English, so you will read English item and area names. [1][2][3]
The IGN walkthrough applies to the original Metroid Prime on GameCube, its Wii remake in the Metroid Prime Trilogy collection, and the 2023 remaster. [1] Its area names are in English, such as Tallon Overworld and Chozo Ruins, and its boss names follow the same pattern, such as Boss: Flaahgra. [1] Nintendo Life's guide covers Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. [2]
Keep the English names exactly as the guide spells them, and you can match what you read to what is on screen.
How do you match a guide to your version?
Matching the guide to the release you own is the first step.
The original 2002 game
Metroid Prime came out on GameCube in 2002. [3] If you are playing the original GameCube release, look for a guide written for that version. Its introduction or title will usually name the GameCube release, so you can tell it apart from the newer guides.
Metroid Prime Remastered
Metroid Prime Remastered is a 2023 update of the 2002 game, released on Switch. [3] A walkthrough written for the remaster covers the Switch version, so if you play on Switch, choose a guide that names the remaster. Guides for the remaster and for the original can differ in how they describe the release, so read the first lines to confirm which one you have.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has its own walkthrough, separate from the older games. [2] That guide is built for the newer game and takes you from the beginning to the end. [2] Pick the guide that matches the game you are actually playing.
What does a full walkthrough cover?
A full walkthrough covers three things: boss fights, upgrades, and collectibles. For boss fights, the guide gives strategies for the many big and little bosses you face, so you know how to approach each one. [1]
Upgrades are easy to miss, so the walkthrough is built to point them out as you go. It is meant to make sure you don't miss any Energy Tanks, Missile Tanks and other upgrades and collectibles along the way. [1] If you are unsure whether you picked up an upgrade in an earlier area, check that area's section before you move on.
Some guides list collectibles in a separate section, and this one does too. For more on collectibles, check out the Log Book section, which contains a checklist of everything you can scan to get to 100% completion. [1] The Power Suit Upgrades section has you covered for a checklist of every single thing you can collect in Metroid Prime, as well. [1]
Use the separate lists when you want a full count, and the walkthrough steps when you are stuck on a boss or an upgrade.
How do you follow a walkthrough without ruining the game?
Read only the section for the area you are in, not the whole guide. Walkthroughs are split by area and by boss, with entries such as Tallon Overworld and Chozo Ruins and Boss: Flaahgra [1]. Opening one section at a time keeps the rest of the level a surprise.
If you are not sure which area you are in, look at the guide's list of areas and find the one that matches the room you are standing in. Then scroll to the step that answers your question, not to the top of the section.
A quick example from Fire & Ice
Say you are stuck in the Fire & Ice area and cannot tell how to get down a shaft. Find that area's section and read until you reach the step about the Burning Trail. There, a guide tells you to drop straight down to the bottom of the shaft. Fall damage is of no concern there, so you can make the jump without hunting for a way around it [4].
Stop once you have the step
Stop reading once you have the step you need, and go back to the game. Every line past that point describes rooms and fights you have not reached yet. Try the jump on your own first, and come back only when you are stuck again. This keeps the walkthrough a helper instead of a cutscene you read instead of play.
What should you do next?
Before you follow any walkthrough, make sure it was written for the version you are playing. Guides for different releases can differ, so a mismatch can send you to the wrong room or boss.
When you open a guide, go straight to the area or boss you are stuck on. The IGN walkthrough is organized by area and boss, with entries such as "Boss: Flaahgra" [1]. Use the English names in the guide to find your spot, and skip the rest.
Your next step is simple: open the guide for your version, find the entry for your current area, read only that step, and return to the game.
