Here's a walkthrough of me going through the original Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System. I am going for 100% pickups. Even though I have the sequential Main Item list, I will be doing some sequence breaking.
I finally go back to Kraid's Hideout, and I find the final Missile Expansion there. After that, I head on to the boss himself, easily defeating him thanks to the Wave Beam and extra Energy Tanks. I get another 75 Missiles, bringing the final Missile count to the max of 255. After defeating Kraid, I find the final Energy Tank. Then I head back to Brinstar.
Items acquired:
Missile Tank x1
Energy Tank x1
Main Item List:
Morph Ball [x]
Missile Launcher [x]
Long Beam [x]
Morph Ball Bombs [x]
Ice Beam [x]*
High Jump Boots [x]
Varia Suit [x]
Screw Attack [x]
Wave Beam [x]
Expansions:
Missile Tanks: 21/21 *all Missile Tanks found*
Energy Tanks: 8/8 *all Energy Tanks found*
NCS you need to destroy the block and get on top as a ball, fall down and press right. Thumbs up so NCS can see it :)

@44dman44 You can get it around where you find the bomb upgrade.

Dis Nigga is TOUGH. What I used to do back in the day was get the varia after killing Ridley then jump to kraid. Norfair and Ridley's lair were never a real problem. Just freeze and missile everything.

How are going to kill the metroids if you don't have ice beam?
