01) Map hologram: scan this in the Space Pirate's Frigate *before* you get the map.
You can do this at any map station in the game, but it's best to remember now
since there are only a few others.

02) Fall of Zebes: (Pirate Data) this is in the Biohazard Containment room of the
Space Pirate Frigate in the beginning of the game (check your map for room names).
If you land on the planet Tallon IV without this Pirate Data, you cannot go back
for it.

03) Parasite Queen: Scan the Space Pirate Frigate boss before defeating it or you
won't have another chance (it'll make the fight a lot easier as well).

04) Parasite: These swarm the tunnels after the boss, but a few can be found just
before fighting the boss as well. Again, if you leave the Space Pirate Frigate
without scanning these creatures, you won't get another chance.

05) Hive Mecha and Ram War Wasps: This pair defends the first pack of missiles.
You'll have to scan under the water from the edge of the central platform to
get the Hive Mecha (scanning the red ports that you fire at does not work).
Don't forget to scan the Ram War Wasps and the Hive Mecha during the fight.
If you defeat this mini-boss without making these scans, you won't get another
chance at them.

06) Missile Blast Shield: As soon as you pick up your first pack of missiles (or
just before), you should scan the Missile Blast Shield. There are dozens of
other blast shields, but it is possible to destroy them all without scanning
any of them.

07) Locked Door: This is technically not a red entry, but it may be difficult to
track down later in the game. In the Energy Core Room, you'll see your first
locked door in the distance over the green water.

08) Barbed War Wasp and Incinerator Drones: Like the Hive Mecha and Ram War Wasps,
this boss fight is your only chance to scan these two creatures. There's no
special trick for this duo though. You'll encounter this fight just after the
Energy Core Room.

09) Flaagrah and Flaagrah Tentacles: These are both parts of the first major boss
in the Chozo Ruins. As with all bosses, this is your only chance to scan the
pair. You may die a few times while fighting this boss. Be sure to rescan
Flaagrah and its Tentacles each time you restart. The tentacles fill the four
bomb tubes at ground level.

10) Ice Burrower: These are found in early Phendrena. They'll be in a small cavern
with low ceilings digging through the snow. The location is connected to the
Phendrena Shorelines (hub) location, but you'll have to take the long way around
to get to it the first time (since you won't have Space Jump Boots). They look
just like ordinary Burrowers (they jump out of the ground and spit rocks at you
before diving back under the snow). Get them while you can since they are
replaced by Security Drones later in the game. Thanks to "Joe" for the heads up.

11) Stalactite: Their are quite a few stalactites in Phendrena and Magmoor, but
it is possible to dislodge all of them without scanning one first. The first
stalactite is in the Ice Ruins West portion of Phendrena Drifts. You'll need
the space jump to destroy it, but it can be scanned from the ground level.

12) Ice Shriekbat: After you scan that stalactite, you should see a cave to its
left. If you have the Space Jump Boots, jump into the cave with your scan visor
turned on. Do not step forward or the bunch of Ice Shriekbats will suicide
attack you. They are in the distance perched under an overhanging ceiling. Scan
them before moving forward because they move very quickly in flight. I'm not
sure when they stop appearing here either. It's possible that they never
reappear after they are killed (by your bullets or their suicide attack), so be
sure and get them when you first see them. If you do not have the Space Jump
Boots yet, look upward and toward the Wave Beam door from the entrance area of
the Ice Ruins West. You should be able to see the overhanging ceiling from this
point for a safer and earlier scan.

13) Ice Parasite: After getting the Space Jump Boots, you'll have to enter the Chozo
Ice Temple. This location contains two variety of creature that crawl on the
blocks. One is common and can be found all over Phendrena, the other is the rare
Ice Parasite. After you get the Wave Beam, this creature vanishes so scan them now.

14) Thardus: This is the boss composed of rocks in Phendrena Drifts. As with all bosses,
this is your only chance, and be sure that you rescan it each time you die and
restart the fight. Double check to make sure you got the previous three entries
since I'm practically certain that beating Thardus (if not before then) will end
your chance to scan them.

15) Aqua Drone: After you obtain the Gravity Suit and you begin exploring the Space
Pirates Frigate underwater, keep an eye out for Aqua Security Drones. They appear
just like ordinary security drones, but only on your first run through the Space
Pirate Frigate.

16) Elite Pirate: The elite pirates are rather difficult to miss since they are such
an intimidating foe. Though you do get to fight about three of them during the
game, they do not reappear, so be sure to scan one of them.

17) Phazon Elite: After you get Power Bombs, you can reclaim a Chozo Artifact from this
guy near the beginning of the Phazon Mines (though it's a bit out of the way at
this point). He looks just like the Omega Pirate (Phazon Mines boss) but he's the
size of an ordinary Elite Pirate. This is not a second (or first) chance to get the
Omega Pirate boss entry, this is a separate entry.

18) Omega Pirate: This is the Phazon Mines boss. As with all bosses, don't forget to
scan him each time you die and restart.

19) Meta Ridley: You're almost done here! Again, don't forget to rescan Ridley each time
you fight him.

20) Metroid Prime: The end of your logbook. There's no point in approaching Prime with
the intent to scan unless the rest of your logbook is filled. Make sure you get the
Lumigek and Fission Metroids, which live in the impact crater after the final save
point (though you can scan them and go back to save). During the fight, make sure
that you scan BOTH FORMS of Metroid Prime. If you're reading this guide as a spoiler
(shame on you), you'll know Prime's second form when you see it, since it looks
completely different from his first form.

21) Metroid Prime: Just to be redundant, don't forget to scan Prime's second form.
