abstract
  • M02: Hardball is the second mission in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. The Galactic Federation detects a mysterious signal being broadcast from the planet Bion, which has been tracked to the interior of a temple on the planet. The Federation Force is tasked with discovering the source of the signal. There is some puzzle solving in this mission. Many doors are unlocked through knocking spherical objects into activation slots on the ground. Another room requires a green button to be shot to form a bridge. The last gate in the mission requires four spheres to open. Fire Hoppers are the only enemy encountered in this mission, which spawn from both Omega Hoppers and Hopper Mounds. At the end of the mission, it is discovered that the source of the signal is a spherical artifact, which may represent the Orb, and they must escape the planet with it. Falling boulders present a threat on the way back. Not letting any of the spheres explode when trying to insert them into their slots is a bonus objective that rewards extra points. On Hard Mode, the spheres will explode after a period of time.
