Metroid Prime 3 planet order, Leviathans and gunship tasks
Track the campaign’s major destinations and return visits.
Edition covered
Original standalone Wii release, using Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls. Friend Voucher exchange depended on the discontinued WiiConnect24 service.
Follow the current mission across planets
Norion introduces the Federation emergency, followed by major operations on Bryyo and Elysia. Later objectives include the G.F.S. Valhalla, Pirate Homeworld and the source of the Phazon threat.
| Destination | Campaign role | Key concern |
|---|---|---|
| G.F.S. Olympus and Norion | Opening Federation mission | Learn controls and defend the base |
| Bryyo | Early Leviathan operation | Ice-based routes and generator objectives |
| Elysia | SkyTown mission | Aerial travel and machinery |
| G.F.S. Valhalla | Derelict investigation | Energy Cells open sealed areas |
| Pirate Homeworld | Late Federation assault | Hazards and defended installations |
| Phaaze | Final mission | Finish exploration before departure |
Use the ship for more than travel
Command Visor targets can call in ship functions once the appropriate upgrade is available. Bombardment and cargo handling solve obstacles that Samus’s hand weapons cannot remove.
| Function | Requirement | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Travel | Available landing site | Move between destinations |
| Save and recovery | Accessible ship landing | Prepare for the next operation |
| Ship Missiles | Relevant ship upgrade and command target | Destroy designated large obstacles |
| Ship Grapple | Relevant ship upgrade and command target | Lift and move cargo |
| Command Visor | Valid command marker | Issue the ship action |
Expect return trips after upgrades
Ice Missiles, Grapple Swing, Plasma Beam and Screw Attack open routes in earlier regions. Mark visible expansions during the first visit so the later sweep has a purpose.
Treat Phaaze as the final commitment
Complete remaining planet exploration before accepting the final mission. Save a file before departure if you want ordinary access to missed expansions, Energy Cells and logbook entries.
