The Pipeline is a multiplayer level in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a mid-sized location containing two main sections connected together by large underground pipes (hence the name).

Description[]

The Pipeline is split into two main sections where battle generally occurs, with the entire stage itself being based off of the Phendrana Drifts as a whole.

Pipeline Intro 3

The underwater portion of the stage.

One main area resembles the Glacier One base; featuring Xenome Containment Units, several consoles, and an information panel with a Hunter Metroid displayed on it. This area houses a Randomizer off to one of the long sides of the wall, with its opposite side housing a Pickup Crate. The center area is generally where players spawn at.

The other main section of the stage is a submerged underwater cavern housing a large rising platform in the center. This is where the stage's main gimmick comes into play; the Gravity Boost is required for much efficient travel around the spacious submerged cave. Many Missiles and Energy Capsule are placed on the roof, requiring said upgrade to reach them. The area also contains a Randomizer off to a wall near the large platform, and a Pickup Crate located around a small outer cave. A Super Missile rests on a high ledge above a spawning point and can only be reached by using a well placed Gravity Boost to reach the ledge it is on.

Players can use one of two "Pipelines" to travel between both areas of the stage. These pipes have a smooth all around surface sufficient enough to travel through well and quickly using the Boost Ball.

Statistics[]

  • Super Missile: Located on a small ledge high above the ground underwater. The Gravity Boost is required to obtain.
  • Randomizer: one located on the top floor, one located underwater.
