"Played perfectly straight with the beam-specific charge combos, which are described only in the (sold separately) strategy guide, and all but impossible to discover by accident." <- I did discover them by accident; also, if you leave the title screen by itself, after a time it shows short sequences of moves, including Crystal Flash and charge combos (it doesn't tell you how to do them, though).

The entry:
* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: Inverted. While the Western SNES box arts all used the same (somewhat cartoonish) image of Samus blasting Ridley, the Japanese Famicom box art featured a much more dramatic image of Ridley and Kraid towering over Samus, who's falling backwards over a cliff and desperately charging a shot.
was removed with the edit reason:
This is debatable, since all versions use the same base artwork of Samus and Ridley with some changes in coloring and composition, but not in an "this region's art looks more hardcore than the others'" way
Unless I've misunderstood something, I find the idea that the Japanese box art is a variation on the same base hard to swallow.

Samus is exactly the same. The claim that the American version is cartoonishly blasting Ridley while the Japanese version is dramatically falling backwards and desperately charging a shot is insane.
Honestly, I thought Ridley was the same at first, but he is barely redrawn. But anyway, they're way too similar to count for this. It does seem too up to interpretation.

The "The Dev Team Thinks of Everything" point states that there are 33 beam combinations which is false information. Only the Plasma or the Spazer beam can be activated at the same time which amounts to 2 to the power of 4 (+ regular beam) amount of beams. 17 in total. Hesitant to add the Chainsaw beam and the Spacetime beam to the list because they are expoits and not something the dev team thought of.
Should there be a section for Getting Crap Past the Radar? When Draygon grabs Samus it looks as if he puts his tail "down there"

No. Radar is when there is something the creators intentionally put in to slip past the sensors, not "it kind of looks like this."

New artwork is pretty, but could be applied to several of the games in the series.

Should I remove the Damage-Sponge Boss section? Because it's been proven that Super Missiles deal 2x damage against Ridley, so it's false that he has no weaknesses.
