===== Spoiler Alert =====

This work has been compiled from the video game, The Minish Cap. The Minish Cap
is a part of The Legend of Zelda Series and was designed for the Nintendo
System, Game Boy Advance. As such, this work contains information that you may
not wish to know if you are playing a help free or FAQs free game. So readers
beware! THIS FAQS CONTAINS SPOILER INFORMATION. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Now that you've been properly warned, let me introduce both the work and its
author.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

===== Introduction =====

I am Golden_Torizo, GT to most who know me here. Yes, that is my actual name.
Nah! I'm just kidding. My real name is even more peculiar. I have been a member
of GameFAQs since July of 2004. You'll find me mostly haunting some of the
Zelda Forums. Shout out to all my buds in the Zelda Forums. Anyway, this is my
first attempt at a FAQs, so be honest if you give me feedback. We learn from
our mistakes and I can take constructive criticism.

This Guide is meant to aid you as you explore the covered caves. I'll inform
you about what is in each chest. I will also let you know about the enemies
you'll encounter in each cave and where the ladders in the caves will lead you.
The Mole Mitts are used to dig through the dirt in the Covered Caves scattered
around Hyrule. This is your Guide through each of those Caves. What are the
Mole Mitts?  Okay, listen up! As you travel around the land of Hyrule,
occasionally you'll come across dirt walls with what looks like button holes or
odd faces in them. These are actually Covered Caves that require you to dig
through them. That's right! You can't bomb them, so stop your griping. The Mole
Mitts allow you to dig through these caves like, well, like moles. Right again!
This game doesn't have one of the patented Zelda Series items, the Shovel. The
Mitts are an item devised by the Minish to help humans find their hidden booty,
and indeed they do. The MOLE MITTS can be found in the Fortress of Winds, so
look closely and don't blink or you'll miss them. When in use they look just
like mole paws. No kidding! In your items sub-screen, they're to the right of
the Shield on the second row. Now that we have been properly introduced we can
begin.

If you think your hero needs the exercise let him walk to the wall cites.
However, if you're on the lazy side like me, use the Wind Crests to get to the
Zones. What are Wind Crests? Hello, keep up with the Drum Major and stay in
step. The Wind Crests are your Warp Zones. If you ask me what Warp Zones are
so help me I'll scream. The Wind Crests are grayish/white slabs that resemble a
tombstone. While there are eight Wind Crest Warp Zones, we only open seven.
When the slabs are touched they disintegrate to reveal the Warp Zones. Okay,
I'm kind'a nervous but here we go.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

===== Locations =====

 == Mt. Crenel ==

To reach this cave on foot, go to the western exit of Hyrule Town.
When you enter Trilby Highlands you'll likely encounter an enemy called a
Keaton. It looks like a coyote or wolf to me, but hey. It's not my story. If it
hits you, Rupees will go flying and disappear before you can collect them all.
Follow the path around the yellow blocks and cross the mini bridge. Continue
west to the foothill of Mt. Crenel Base. Climb the vine you watered earlier and
go up the wall using the Grip Ring. When you get off the wall go west until you
come to the sign indicating the Crenel Wall. Climb the stairs there and go west
to the Crenel wall. Make your way to the top and go left then south to find the
Covered Cave.

You can also use the Ocarina to get to the Wind Crest on Mt. Crenel. When Jeffa
sets you down, walk south and jump into the hole below. Descend the two ladders
as you come to them and go west. Jump off the ledge, go west and start climbing
the wall. At the top go left and descend the stairs to find the Covered Cave.

== Trilby Highlands ==

Sorry guys you'll have to walk to this one. Oh, stop ya' whining! It's just to
the left of Hyrule Town. Hop, skip, or jump over to the exit where you
performed the Spin Attack for the Guard. Watch out for the patrolling Keaton as
you follow the path around the yellow blocks to a small bridge. As soon as you
cross that bridge turn right and head north across another bridge and you'll be
staring the cave cover in the eyes, or button holes or whatever they are. Now
that wasn't so hard was it?

You'll find two caves in Trilby Highlands, both in the same area. The one on
the right needs a Platform. To make it appear fuse with Candy, one of the kids
in Hyrule Town. You will also need the Flippers to access this cave.

== Hyrule Town ==

This wall is located just south of Mayor Hagen's Town House. In fact, you can
see it as you stand outside his door. From the bridge at the south entrance of
town, walk north until you reach the end of where the merchants are selling
their goods on the red squares. At that point go east and you'll see the Cave.

== Castor Wilds ==

You can enter the Wilds from Trilby Highlands or western South Hyrule Field.
Both directions will take you Through Western Woods. From Trilby Highlands, go
south into Western Woods and west at the Castor Wilds sign. Continue north from
there then west at the bridge to enter the Wilds. From South Hyrule Field walk
west through Western Woods until you can go no further, then go north and west
crossing the bridge to enter Castor Wilds.

You will need to equip the Pegasus Boots to get through this dismal area of
Hyrule. It has swampy basins that pull you under like quicksand. Ugh! Make sure
you have your Boots on, you'll need them from the start. Race Link across the
muck and mire to reach solid ground. Climb the vine you see then take the plank
going northwest, then the one going northeast. Descend the vine you see and go
southto the Covered Cave.

For the lazy daisies like me, use the Ocarina and warp to the Castor Wilds Wind
Crest. From there, go north across the pegged up hole. Keep going north until
you reach the vine. Climb it and walk the northwest plank then the northeast
plank. Here descend the vine and go south to the cave. Hey, are we having fun
yet? Yay!

== Eastern Hills ==

Okay Ladies and Gents, put your walking shoes on. Exit the southern end of
Hyrule Town and go east, passing through Southern Hyrule Field. As you enter
Eastern Hills go north before you reach the bridge and climb the steps. Enter
the gap in the fence and head south into the field. Look to the west and you'll
see the Covered Cave. If you're in Hyrule Town, leave using the eastern exit.
The exit is just above the Happy Hearth Inn. Go south when you enter Lon Lon
Ranch and continue until you reach the gap in the fence. Make your way to the
field where Eenie and Meenie are working to find this Covered Cave.

== Veil Falls ==

If you use the Wind Crest to get onto Veil Falls, climb down the rocky wall, go
west and jump into the water. You can now see the left cave. This cave can also
be reached by exiting North Hyrule Field's northeast exit. Once you enter the
Falls area, go down the steps and into the water to reach the cave. You will
need to swim south a bit then east.

To reach the right cave you must fuse with a Minish in Minish Woods. Go to the
Sanctuary that leads to the Deepwoods Shrine but don't enter. Instead continue
east to see a pier partially hidden. Follow it to its end. Enter the water and
swim east to a Mushroom House atop a barrel. If you have infused your sword
with the fourth element you'll be able to fuse with this Minish. He has two
fusions, one of which is the Platform to the Veil Falls Cave. Now that we have
conquered that obstacle, let's get busy. Go back to Hyrule Town and take the
exit above the Happy Hearth Inn. The exit leads to Lon Lon Ranch. When you
enter the Ranch you'll see a hole. Go north and enchant the hole with the Cane
of Pacci. Go north now and down the steps. Holy Cow! Watch out for those sneaky
Leevers. Keep going east and grab the Heart Piece, then dive in and swim north
to the Covered Cave.

== Lake Hylia ==

For this one let's just take the Ocarina out and fly to the Lake Hylia Wind
Crest. What? I told you I was lazy! Anyway! From the Lake Wind Crest, hop down
and go north. Cross the bridge and go east then north to some steps. Enter the
Lake here and you'll see a cave. However, the cave cannot be accessed until you
have the Roc's Cape from The Palace of Winds, located above the Cloud Tops.
*When you get the Cape you'll need to do some island-hopping to reach the cave.
No matter, there's another cave just around the bend. Swim down and around the
island in the center of Lake Hylia. Good grief! You haven't done this Platform
yet? Then you will need to high-tail it to Mama's Cafe in town and fuse with
Mama. She's the woman standing at the bar with her back to you. You know where
that cave is so onward and upward.

*The reason you'll need to island-hop or use the Roc's Cape is because for some
reason, you can climb onto the light blue areas of water in and around Hyrule
but not the green ones. The Platform to the cave has green around it.

== Minish Woods ==

This is the last of the cave locations. Save your clapping until the end. There
are so many entrances to the caves in Minish Woods, it's not even funny. Yes, I
said caves. Take heart though, there's only two of them and they're relatively
close in proximity. Okay, let's get started. Let's do the Wind Crest entrances
first. Once Jeffa (the bird that comes when you use the ocarina) drops you off,
go west across the bridge then south to another bridge. Cross it and go north,
then left and take the stairs. Exit through the opening and go east across yet
another bridge. Continue eastward and at the end of the next bridge the cave
will come into view. To reach the other cave, continue west and you will come
to a pond with steps on both sides. Enter here and go north a bit then east and
south until you see the cave. It's located below Syrup's Potion Shop.

When you go south from the Wind Crest you can become Minish and take another
route to the Caves. As Minish Link enter Gentari's log house, jump down and
go south, following a south, east, south...path until you see the arched
walkway. Take it and you'll go through a zoomed in area to reach a lily pad.
Use the pad or wade (you should have the Flippers by now) across the pond
to another log you can enter. Get to the other side, become big Link again, and
go north across the bridge on your left. The cave is right there at the foot of
the bridge. Continue west, cross the pond, and then go north and east and
finally south to the other Covered Cave in Minish Woods. This cave, by the way,
is below Syrup's Potion Shop.

Here we go for the walkers in the crowd. You can get to the caves from Eastern
Hills and Hyrule Town on foot. From Eastern Hills (as you exit Hyrule Town at
the southern end, go east through Southern Hyrule Town) go east across the foot
bridge and then north to cross the pond. Continue north a bit from there then
turn east and south. There you go! To reach the other cave from the point where
you entered the pond, continue east instead and you'll eventually see the cave
with the two-hole button or face looking covering. When Ezlo is explaining to
Link about how Vaati got his powers you can see this covering in the room.

Hyrule Town has two places where you can start your walk to the caves. In North
Hyrule Field go the exit, located just above that right corner. Using this exit
takes you into Lon Lon Ranch. Cross the pegged up hole in front of you. If the
hole isn't pegged up, go around to the front of the Ranch House, enter and exit
through the field out back. Walk north then east and up around until you get to
the hole. Peg it, please! Thank you, shall we continue. At this point you can
use the Pacci Cane to "enchant that hole" by the wall and use the Whirlwinds to
cross the pond. However, I'm betting you have the Flippers and would rather
continue on foot. So continue east then south, fly across the pond. What? You
don't have the Roc's Cape. Now you tell me! Okay back to the Whirlwind. Use the
Pacci Cane then jump into the Whirlwind and float south. Walk east til you see
another Whirlwind and take it all the way across the pond. Follow a south to
east path until you reach the sign indicating the Mayor's Lake Cabin. Hmm...The
Mayor must be loaded, huh? Forget I said that! At the sign go south all the way
to the cave.

Link can also enter using the exit in Hyrule Town. The exit is above the Happy
Hearth Inn and leads to Lon Lon Ranch. Once you're in the Ranch area walk south
and you'll pass a Whirlwind. From there go east and cross, err...the pegged up
hole and continue east and south to the cave. To reach the other cave, go west
from this cave, then south a bit to cross the pond. Once you're across, go east
until you reach the cave.

The entrances here all take you across the pond from one cave to another, so if
I didn't say so, just do it. I stole that from the Subrosian Smithy's Shop in,
Oracle of Seasons. We have now covered all the places where you can find one of
the Mole Mitts Caves, What do you say about sneaking inside each cave to see
what treasures the Minish hid. Yay!

== Cave Items ==

Mt. Crenel

Finally, we get to explore the caves. It's almost like Christmas, huh?  Let's
begin with Mt. Crenel. As you dig through the dirt you'll be met by a Moldorm.
Hey! It's a Heart Piece. Let's see what else we can find. A spark is here, that
must mean something good is coming up. Wow, a lot of green Chu Chus but they're
a piece of cake. The Mysterious Wall has a fusion? That was fun, but we seem to
be done in here so on to the next cave.

Trilby Highlands

I'll take you through the cave on the left first. The cave has two chests and
each one has a Blue Kinstone piece. Be careful as you proceed, there is a
Moldorm roaming around in there. Clear away all the dirt from the north walls
and you'll eventually find another Mysterious Wall fusion. Climbing the ladder
will take you to the top of the mound. Once you get up top you'll see the
elusive Ankle Tingle. There is also a Minish living up there.

You are now entering the cave on the right ladies and gents. Move quickly to a
chest containing a Red Kinstone. Watch out for the Moldorm! Take the ladder and
you'll end up in a Fairy Pond. Bye-bye Trilby Highlands.

Hyrule Town

As you enter this cave be warned that a Beetle might attach itself to you. The
chests you open down here all have a Red Kinstone. Now that you have three more
Red Kinstones maybe you can fuse with The Stranger in Hyrule town. The ladder
will give you access to the Bottom of The Well. That chest you see has 100
Rupees. Continue east and push the peg into the hole. You can use the holes to
move south then west. You'll find yourself literally at the Bottom of The Well
in Hyrule Town.

Castor Wilds

Yikes! A hidden Like Like grabbed me. Gimme back my Shield! The chests held a
Red Kinstone, and 50 Mysterious Shells. That wasn't so bad...I lost my Shield
but I got it back and Shells to boot.

Eastern Hills

This is a small cave. Be on guard for hidden Beetles. Dig through all the dirt
with the Mole Mitts and you'll reveal a Mysterious Wall that wants to fuse.
Don't grab those Red Rupees too fast, one of them might grab back. The one on
the right is a Rupee Like. It likes Rupees. Get it!

Veil Falls

I'm going to take you through the left cave first. You will run into a Spark by
the time you complete the first digging in here. This enemy will give you the
shock of your life. Use the boomerang to rid yourself of it plus get a Fairy.
Wow! I sure needed that. Now I see why the Spark was here, it was guarding a
Heart Piece and 50 Mystery Shells.

The first thing you'll find in the right cave is a Blue Chu Chu. A miniature
version of the mini-boss from Temple of Droplets. The chests contain 50 Mystery
Shells and 50 Rupees.

Lake Hylia

The cave located below the island in the center of Lake Hylia contains 50
Rupees. However, you get pelted to death by all the Blue Octoroks, and the
Peahats add insult to injury.

The cave near Stockwell's house is loaded, so let's get started. Enter the cave
and go right. Near the center of all those holes is a chest containing a Red
Kinstone. The ladder will take you outside to another ladder. This ladder is
guarded by a hidden Like Like. Climbing the ladder takes you to the Beanstalk
Vine. The Vine has 200 Mystery Shells, 200 Rupees, and a Heart Piece.

Let's go back to the start of this cave and proceed to the left. As soon as you
can go south and you'll find three chests. One chest holds a Red Kinstone, one
holds a Blue Kinstone and the other has 50 Mystery Shells. Oh oh, a nasty
Moldorm is in the way. Slash it and move on. Dig through the dirt and find
another Mysterious Wall that has a fusion. That's all there is in this section
so let's move on.

Take Link back to where you made the turn to enter this section and proceed
ahead. You might notice that very narrow dirt strip, dig through it and you'll
end up at Lon Lon Ranch. Now you know how to get that Heart Piece that's been
bugging you. Admit it! It bugged me too.

Okay, one more area and we're done in here. Backtrack and continue left where
you'll find a chest with a Blue Kinstone, one with a Red Kinstone, and the last
chest holds 50 Mystery Shells.

Minish Woods

The Covered Cave near the bridge has three hidden Like Likes guarding the
chests. The chest on your right contains a Blue Kinstone. The one on the left
has 50 Rupees.

This cave has a Blue Kinstone piece in the first chest. Empty spaces usually
mean a hidden Like Like. Yep! There it is. There is also a Green Rupee Like
trying to look innocent. Dig all the dirt and you'll also find another
Mysterious Wall.

===== Closing, Credits, Thank You =====

Wow! I can't believe I'm almost done with my very first contribution to
GamsFAQs. That is of course, if you're reading my Guide. I've had a blast doing
this and I hope it'll be useful to all of you, indeed all of us who love
spoilers. I'd much rather know what it is in the chest before I open it. Don't
you just hate surprises.

I must honestly say, though I've played only half the games in the Legend of
Zelda Series, this has gotta be one of if not my favorite. My hat's off to
Shigeru Miyamoto, and the entire staff of The Minish Cap. Not only is this game
fun but it makes you work hard to complete it and even harder to get a one
hundred percent file. It has challenging enemies and superior bosses. The
dungeons all step out of the norm, especially from the earlier Zelda games, and
makes you eager to see what's in the next room. Each dungeon outdoes its name.
The Ice Dungeon in this game is so far above the earlier games it's not even
funny. And the Palace of Winds is just breath-taking.

Minish Cap also has some of the most inventive weapons as far as the games I've
played. You've gotta admit, that Gust Jar and Pacci Cane; I know you'd love to
have one of each. I would also. The game is not bad to look at and the music is
great. I can't say I get the Mirror Shield thing, but hey. Who am I to argue
when the rest of the game is so great? One more thing, I think Vaati would send
Ganon packing with his tail tucked neatly between his legs.

===== Credits =====

I must first give thanks to God for allowing me to compile and complete this
Guide. A hearty thank you to the Contributors Staff here at GameFAQs for
accepting my work. I must not only thank but congratulate the people who
produced this game. The Executive Producer, Satoru Iwata; the General Producer,
Shigeru Miyamoto; Keiji Inafune, the Producer; and Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the
Director. The entire Staff of, The Legend of Zelda; The Minish Cap, must be
given credit for this game as well as, Flagship, the Developer of The Minish
Cap.

===== Thank You =====

Advance Forum here at GameFAQs inspired me to do it. So once again, a shout out
to all the players in the GBA Forum. Thank you very much. I love helping all of
you in any way possible, so keep the questions coming. A special thank you to

invaluable. I sincerely appreciated the help. Last but certainly not least, a
most special thank you goes out to my friend, Jawni, AKA Penguin, over at
GameWinners.Com. Thank you for securing the game for me.

I would like to thank the following people for requesting to host my guide:

 My wish is that this "Ending FAQ" will encourage other FAQ authors to include
 the endings of the games in their FAQs.
 A lot of people actually get interested in reading the ending, even if they
 have beaten the game before.
 So far the only people interested in doing ending faqs are the ones that make
 the Neo Geo fighting games faqs and the ones that do the Capcom fighting games
 faqs, other than those......
 I, for one, am a fan of game endings.

  an elevator to the surface. At the surface you get the message
  "Great!! You fulfiled your mission.
  It will revive pece in space. But, it may be invaded by the other Metroid.
  Pray for a true peace in space!" Then Samus will reveal her true self by removing
  her suit and staying in a one piece bathing suit.
  The credits will roll and at the very end it will say "The End".
  If you beat Mother Brain without wearing the suit, after you get to the surface,
  Samus will then change from the one piece bathing suit to a two piece bikini,
  after that the credits will roll as usual.

  If you beat the game under 3 hours Samus armor disappears,
  revealing the hunter to be a woman. She's wearing a purple leotard and has
  brown hair.
  If you beat the game between 3 and 5 hours Samus helmet disappears,
  still revealing her secret identity by showing her with long brown hair,
  though still wearing her armor.
  If you beat the game in over 5 hours Samus raises her fist in victory,
  but the armor stays put.
  If you beat the game in over 5 hours with armorless Samus, she flashes and
  turns her back toward you and her arm thrown over her face in shame.
  If you beat the game under 3 hours with armorless Samus she is already without
  her armor; she flashes, and when she's done she is wearing only a purple bikini.

  After defeating Mother Brain, the wall behind her will explode and the
  message "Time Bomb Set! Escape Immediately!" will appear, go through the
  door and you will have to go through a number of vertical and horizontal
  corridors while facing Space Pirates along the way. Near the surface you
  will have the option of rescuing the animals you found during the adventure.
  After that, go to the surface and board the ship. You will then see the
  Zebes exploding and the ship flying out of the planet in the nick of time.
  If you rescued the animals you will see a small dot escaping the planet's
  explosion just as Samus escapes with her ship.
  It will then say "The operation was completed successfully", it shows you
  the time it took you to clear the game. The credits will roll and after a
  while you will see Samus glowing in her suit.
  If you managed to complete the game in OVER 10 hours, Samus will just stand
  there, she gives you a thumbs up, jumps back and shoots at the screen, the
  Metroid logo appears on screen and you get the message "See you next mission,
  your rate for collecting items is". The percent you get depends on how many
  items you found.
  If you managed to complete the game between 3 and 10 hours, Samus will take off
  her helmet, she gives you a thumbs up, jumps back and shoots at the screen, the
  Metroid logo appears on screen and you get the message "See you next mission,
  your rate for collecting items is". The percent you get depends on how many
  items you found.
  If you managed to complete the game in UNDER 3 hours, Samus will take off her
  suit and she will be in a black bikini, she lets her hair lose,
  jumps back and shoots at the screen while wearing her armor again,
  the Metroid logo appears on screen and you get the message "See you next mission,
  your rate for collecting items is". The percent you get depends on how

 3)The endings from CyricZ's Walkthrough:

  -Metroid Prime-
  "Below 75% - Samus leaves the exploding Impact Crater, calls her ship in, and
  hops on top of it before the whole Artifact Chamber blows.  She stares at the
  wrecked chamber for a moment, and the scene cuts as she's about to remove her
  helmet.  End credit roll.  Samus' Gunship flies away from Tallon.
  Congratulatory screen showing Samus with a victory pose and percentage.

  75%-99% - Samus leaves the exploding Impact Crater, calls her ship in, and
  hops on top of it before the whole Artifact Chamber blows.  She removes her
  helmet and stares at the wrecked chamber for a moment, then departs.  End
  credit roll.  Samus' Gunship flies away from Tallon.  Congratulatory screen
  showing Samus with a victory pose and percentage.

  100% - Samus leaves the exploding Impact Crater, calls her ship in, and
  hops on top of it before the whole Artifact Chamber blows.  She removes her
  helmet and stares at the wrecked chamber for a moment, then departs.  End
  credit roll.  Samus' Gunship flies away from Tallon.  Congratulatory screen
  showing Samus without a helmet in victory pose and percentage.  Cut to a scene
  of a undulating blob of Phazon.  A black and red metal hand bursts from the
  Phazon.  An alien eye looks around from the back of the hand..."

  The ending from DantheMann:
  "I believe this to be the second or third ending, but have no evidence...
  Anyway, here it is: You fight Metroid Prime in two stages and then she steals
  your current suit (Phazon Suit) and dies in the most horrible fashion,
  she shakes around very fast and then begins to self-destruct.
  The screen turns black and says: "Self-Destruction Iminate, Evacuate Imediatly"
  Then it showes the Chozo Artifact Center blowing up and you jump onto your ship,
  facing away from the screen, and take your helmet off. Then Samus flies away and
  the Chozo Ruins have blown up. Then the credits role proceeded by your
  status for the game.
  This ending was brought to life with 21:27 hours and 74% Scans Completed."

  The ending from Daniel Haas:
  "ENDING #1: (0%-74%) The metroid prime will go completely INSANE, screaming
  and flipping all over. It will transform into a huge blue blob with a red center,
  no face, and tentacles all over its body(if you wanna call it a body).
  One of its tentacles comes out and latches onto samus's stomach and
  begins pulling her in. She struggles for a moment and the Prime manages to pull
  of her Phazon suit. The prime blob goes insane, again, growing huge and demolishing
  the chamber, as samus runs for her life. A black screen appears, telling you the
  artifact chamber is about to collapse, and you should probably think about
  getting your ass outa there. Samus is teleported out, she presses a couple buttons
  on her arm cannon, and runs for the edge of the platform. Her ship flies over
  and catches her as she's jumping. She stands atop her ship for a couple seconds,
  watching the artifact chamber burn and crumble. She rockets away in her ship.

  ENDING #2 (75%-99%) Everything is the same as above, only as she stands there
  watching the articact chamber burn, she decides to remove her helmet.
  You get to see her head for a while, before she rockets away.

  ENDING #3 (100%) All the same, helmet romoval and all. the only change is that
  after the credits roll, you see a cave with a blob a phazon at the bottom.
  A black and red colored arm reaches out of the phazon, still dripping
  with the stuff. On the back of its hand, a small eye-like thing looks around at
  the cave for a while. END."

  -Metroid-
  After defeating Mother brain, The wall behind her desintegrates and a door
  will appear, you will get the message "Time bomb set, get out fast!".
  After this door, is a long vertical corridor. As you reach the top, there is
  an elevator to the surface. At the surface you get the message
  "Great!! You fulfiled your mission.
  It will revive pece in space. But, it may be invaded by the other Metroid.
  Pray for a true peace in space!" Then Samus will reveal her true self by removing
  her suit and staying in a one piece bathing suit.
  The credits will roll and at the very end it will say "The End".
  If you beat Mother Brain without wearing the suit, after you get to the surface,
  Samus will then change from the one piece bathing suit to a two piece bikini,
  after that the credits will roll as usual.

  Beat Dark Samus with an Item Percentage collection between 75% & 99%.

  Beat Dark Samus with an item percentage collection of 100%.

 3)The ending from Eric Otness:

  Dark Samus' 4th form gets hit by the Phazon Beam and a big Phazon explosion
  hits her, Samus has her arm cannon pointed at her collapsed form when suddenly,
  she gets back up on her knees and crawls toward Samus and clawing at her,
  Dark Samus starts to ignite into bluish Phazon-flames, and, judging by the
  look at Samus' eyes through her visor, she seems horrified. Then Dark Samus,
  still on fire, reaches out her hand to try to absorb Samus' Light Suit,
  but before she can even breathe on it, Dark Samus dissolves (or disperses)
  into a billion Phazon molecules. Then Samus's about to go to the blocked
  off exit when an earthquake occurs and two Warrior Ing block her way so she
  turns around and then she's surrounded by 4 Warrior Ing, while more Ing are
  on the way. Then the huge column of Phazon makes a volatile explosion revealing
  a Dimensional Transporter Gate and then the remainder of the Ing Horde surround
  her lunging at her, suddenly Samus jumps resulting with the Ing colliding into each
  other. Then, with the background music in a revamped version of the Ing Battles,
  Samus then runs activating the Scan Visor in the third person view with an Ing
  running next to her to try and stop her, and the gate opens she jumps up the steps,
  she looks back and the Ing hot-tail her, meanwhile at Light Aethers' Hall of the
  Honored Dead, Samus bounces out of the portal in Morph Ball Mode and she unrolls
  herself high in the air and landing in the area where she got the Seeker Missiles
  and then she quickly turns around and sees several Ing legs fighting to get out of
  the portal, screaming the daylights out and then there's the sound of an explosion
  and the screen turns white then black, and then it cuts to the stellar view of Aether
  just like what happened in the middle of the beginning scene of the game except the
  planet slowly stops fluctuating and turns green, then it cuts to several Luminoth
  watching the Energy Controller with the sky flashing and then it turns bright and
  Samus is kneeling, back in her Varia Suit with the Energy Controller closing behind
  her, she stands up, a Luminoth looks and his eyes get big and then does a butler-esque
  bow, and the other Luminoth do the same as Samus goes toward the door you get a
  close-up of her back and holding her hand in the air like she's waving good-bye.
  Then you see her ship take off and fly away and enters hyperspace the credits come
  up and you get a mission final screen with Samus' image sort of like the game over
  screen only without the magnification of her heart when you get 0-74%.

  75-99% it's the same as above, except after she goes through the doorway but
  before launching her gunship she approaches her ship and gets covered in a
  shaft of light and she's in her emergency reserve flight suit first shown in
  Metroid Zero Mission in 3D view, she turns around to the side and her head
  faces the screen.

  100% it's the same as above except after the credits and congratulatory screen
  it shows the Planet Aether and the camera pans to the southwestern part of Aether
  with several Phazon molecules and then they come to each other to form a bright
  whitish-blue human shape.

  The ending from nazguldragon15:
  0% - 74% = After Dark Samus' defeat, it will fall out of the air and onto the ground.
  It will slowly go up to Samus and reach for her Suit, then Dark Samus will vaporize.
  Suddenly, an earthquake will begin and Samus will try to escape to the door, but a wall
  of phazon will cover it.  Several Ing will jump out and start after Samus.
  Dark Aether begins to collapse, an Samus runs for the light Portal while scanning it.
  She will fly through the portal in her Morph Ball and emerge into the Light World.
  From Light Aether's point of view, the Ing will all try to come through the portal,
  kicking and cramming, then the portal will close.  The screen goes to a view of the
  Planet Aether, and the Darkness will disappear, becoming average Aether.
  Samus returns her Light Suit and the Luminoth bid her farewell.  She then goes into
  her ship, and flies off the planet.

  75% - 99% = Everything is the same as the 0% - 74% ending except before entering her
  ship, Samus will take off her entire suit.  She is wearing her infamous blue flight
  suit, and looks rather cartoony.

  100% = Everything is the same as the endings before it except (this happens after
  the credits) Dark Samus will reform in space.

  -USA & Europe Version-
  After you beat the Omega Metroid, Samus will get on her ship while the
  station is aligning with SR388's orbit, you escape while you watch the station
  burn and explode on the surface of the Metroid's home planet.
  It then shows Samus on her ship and she starts to say:
  "That perfect military mind... The wisdom of Adam Malkovich continued to serve
  even after death. Until today, I had no idea that the minds of leaders and
  scientists were frequently uploaded to computers.
  My incredible reunion with Adam may have saved the universe...
  But how will the beings of the universe view our resolve? I doubt they will
  understand what we did... The danger we barely averted. They will hold tribunals
  and investigations. They will hold us responsible.
  Adam understood this, and he spoke to me in my anger.
  'Don't worry. One of them will understand. One of them must.'
  I've reflected upon his words, and I see the wisdom in them.
  We are all bound by our experiences. They are the limits of our conciousness.
  But in the end, the human sould will ever reach for the truth...
  This is what Adam tought me. Just one detail still bothers me.
  This ship can only be started manually. Yet, before I faced the Omega Metroid,
  the ship moved on it's own, guided by someone hands. Is it possible? Adam...?"
  Adam replies: "Lady, what's troubling you? You wonder how I started the ship?
  Just think about it. They lent me a hand..." It will then show a pic of the
  animals you rescued, they are asleep.
  Credits will roll and after the credits it will show Samus on her armor,
  she will start to shine and if you beat the game in UNDER 2 hours it will show
  Samus posing in a tank top and a tight short and it will show the time you took
  and the percentage of the items collected.
  If you beat the game between 2 and 4 hours it will show Samus posing with her
  suit on but without the helmet.
  If you beat the game in OVER 4 hours it will show Samus posing with her
  suit on only.
  If you beat the game in UNDER 2 hours but with 100% rate, it will show Samus
  posing with the same half naked clothes but in a different pose and a transparent
  picture of her is shown in the background.
  If you beat the game in OVER 2 hours but with 100% rate it will show Samus half
  naked again but in yet another different pose.

  "The actual ending with Samus isn't all that special and is pretty much
  the same as it was in the original Smash Bros. game; Master Hand (or
  Bowser, if playing Adventure mode) falls into the background / explodes
  in a spectacular fashion. After your character falls into trophy form on
  a desk, the credits roll, you get treated to a short movie showing
  everyone's favorite bounty hunter using her abilities, concluding with a
  screenshot which varies with the mode you played."

  The endings from Peter Burton:
  When you complete SSBM with Samus on any of the 1-player modes then these
  following things will happen:  You see Samus shooting a missile,
  then she will jumping up a narrow shaft in the adventure level known as
  'Under ground maze', you will then see a close up of Samus shooting her
  fully charged blast.
  Each of the one player modes will have a different final picture,
  they are as follows:

  Classic: Samus will be standing on planet Zebes shooting a missile.

  Adventure:  Samus will be charging through the air with rock in the background
  with the letters CODE RED in red at the bottom.
