I thought I could never do it...

[NintenDan]

...But I did! I unlocked the "Glare Desert" court for Mario Hoops!

How? By beating an opposing team in the Star Tourney, with over 800 points!
I only got 782, but still unlocked it, though.

But for any owners of the game, when you unlock that, go there in exhibition, and you may see a green thing in the sand. When you're in offense, bounce the ball repeatedly on the things head, and a cactus will pop up, and run away. Now win the game you're playing. If you succeed, the Cactus will be running around when your team is celebrating victory. A message will appear saying you have unlocked, "Cactuar"! an enemy from Final Fantasy!

He is the fastest character, and is a real helping hand if you need to get gold for any tourney in the hard mode!

[cheat-master30]

That is just awesome! Well done there!

[NintenDan]

Now I'm going for Gold in the hard tourney's, and unlock all the different balls and alternate colours for characters!

[cheat-master30]

Oh, okay! Good luck with that!

[NintenDan]

Wow. I've just realised how captivating Metroid Prime is. I completely forgot about Hoops! I just got my 4th Octolith, or 5th, I can't remeber...

[cheat-master30]

You beat the first part of Acterra or the second part of Celestial Archives, right?

[NintenDan]

The first part of Arcterra. I'm onto the first part of the Vesper Space Station, I think that's what It's called...

[cheat-master30]

Vesper Defence Outpost? It's a very short area mind, just like to say that, but an easy escape.

[NintenDan]

Good, because I absolutely HATED the second part of the other space station, when you had to escape. I got lost most of the time, but when I finally got back to my ship in time, I had a massive sigh of relief!!

[cheat-master30]

You mean the Celestial Archives? Because just wait until you return for the second time and must go through like 30 rooms in 8 minutes!

[NintenDan]

I did that just after I posted that! I hate those stupid guardian things, they're so damn annoying!!

[cheat-master30]

The most annoying things though are not them. In fact, the most annoying things are Cretaphid and Slench (those damn bosses which guard the octolith) and other hunters attacking you when the clock is ticking down.

[NintenDan]

I destroy the hunters BEFORE the boss, so I only have to fight Guardians. Is it me, or do the bosses seem, "repetitive". Sure, they have different weapons and attacks, but some other bosses would be cool.

[cheat-master30]

I know. It's just how that damn Cretaphid (pole shaped boss) and Slench (the eyeball thing) seem to be the only bosses in the game bar the final boss in two forms, and they get extremely annoying quickly. Have nice theme music though.

P.S. Gorea and Gorea 2 are the coolest bosses, and the last. The Fire and Arctic Spawn are also different (for a mini boss), and are not a type of Guardian!

[NintenDan]

I remeber when I encountered the fire spawn. I was walking along, saw this room, this thing popped up, and I jumped because I didn't know what happened!

[cheat-master30]

It's a lot more difficult to defeat than the Arctic one though, and actually quite easy if you stay behind cover and only attack at various intervals.

[NintenDan]

That is exactly what I did. Because he throws lava which burns for seconds, as the freeze won't really be as bad

[cheat-master30]

Same there. They are actually easier than the normal bosses...

[NintenDan]

Yeah. The Creataphid in the VDO level is the easiest because there are no laser bams, just green balls which you can destroy!

[cheat-master30]

I guess. V3 is most annoying I think though.

[NintenDan]

Is that the one that moves around? Or another one?

[cheat-master30]

No, the one before. First one with both lasers and green orbs. I found the moving one quite easy personally.

[NintenDan]

Same here about the moving one. Also, very good news!!

Just realised my Game making program, may be able for me to download! If I use my USB, (with 256MB) I could download the program! (10.3MB)!!

Pity I found this out on the last week of holidays... DAMN!!!
