Metroid Prime 2: Echoes [HUDless] Episode 1

Not a terrible start.

The following is an any% playthrough of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes with the HUD disabled. As a result, I will be unable to see my Health Bar, Missile Ammo, Beam Ammo, Danger Indicator, Minimap, any Boss's Health Bar, or the Radar.

For a more informative 100% run, check out Blackbelt Bobman's LP of the whole trilogy.

[Datai]

@Bangheader It's in the options section of the start menu somewhere, I can't remember exactly where off the top of my head.

hey im just wondering why are runing slow??? is your controller messed up

[Datai]

Yes. This is fixed eventually, but I didn't realize it for a while.

You're really brave for doing a no HUD run!

[foxsundance]

How can a plumber eat mushrooms to become bigger and flowers to shoot fireballs?

How can a young boy/ teenager manage to best a giant pig with dark magic multiple times, in multiple time periods?

Why don't giant fire breathing monsters and electric rats kill their masters instead of listening to them?

Case in point: It's fucking Nintendo, nothing they ever make makes sense. Stop complaining.

Housing and Urban Development.. Lol but really it stands for Heads Up Display.. Datai pretty much explained it in the beginning :)

what is HUD

[Datai]

The ammo thing is a bit annoying, but the strategy basically reduces to "pick up everything whenever possible" and pay attention to what you use/need more.

Everything disappears except notice messages (Item Acquired, X% Scans, etc), subtitles, and scan information. In Prime 3, actually, sections of the scan information screen disappear, so it looks kind of awkward.

[Datai]

There's an annoying beeping sound whenever you're low on health, that's all you really need.

Prime 3, on the other hand, is an ass and a half HUDless (which is how I'm playing it on my own).

Dude you have no clue how tough or brave you are for attempting this!
