 The major routes listed below are general routes used to beat the game. Many sequence breaks and tricks in Metroid Prime 2 can be easily added or removed when doing a speedrun, without majorly affecting the whole overall route.

 == Grapple Beam Route ==
-The Grapple Beam Route is the most commonly used overall route, as it does not require the one-shot trick to cross Grand Abyss. As the name implies, it involves going to lower Torvus after obtaining light and dark beam, to get Grapple Beam and the dark torvus key down there, then going to Sanctuary to get screw attack and return the Sanctuary energy. Though there are slight variations, depending on which tricks the player uses, the overall route remains the same. Minor deviations will be noted.

Though there are slight variations, depending on which tricks the player uses, the overall route remains the same. The general route is below:
-=== Temple Grounds Start ===
+# Do [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes/Skipping Items#Item Loss Skip|Item Loss Skip]].
+# Get the [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Early_Items#Power_Bomb_Expansion|Early Power Bomb Expansion]] via ghetto jump in Temple Assembly Site.
-* Hive Chamber A - Do [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes/Skipping Items#Item Loss Skip|Item Loss Skip]] and wallcrawl; get back in bounds in either Industrial Site or the room before it.
+# Do the 101% trick in GFMC Compound to get 10 extra easy missiles.
-* Temple Assembly Site - Get the Energy Tank behind the red door. Get the [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Early_Items#Power_Bomb_Expansion|Early Power Bomb]].
+# Get '''''VIOLET TRANSLATOR''''' in Great Temple.
-** The power bomb is not absolutely necessary for this route. However, it significantly speeds up later parts of the game, and the trick is relatively easy compared to other wallcrawls, so this wallcrawl is highly recommended.
+# Go to Agon Wastes.
-* GFMC Compound - Do the 101% Trick by space jumping to get the missile launcher twice.
+# Go directly to the pirate base, defeat [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Boss_Tricks#Dark_Samus_1|Dark Samus]], and get '''''DARK BEAM'''''.
-* Great Temple - Skip the alpha splinter fight by space jumping over the barrier
+# Go to Dark Agon and get '''''LIGHT BEAM'''''.
-* Main Energy Controller - Get Violet Translator. Go back to Temple Grounds behind the violet translator door.
+# Go to Agon Energy Controller and get '''''AMBER TRANSLATOR''''''
-* Transport to Agon Wastes - Take the elevator here. If you want, you can get the missile tank behind the web.
+# Go to Temple Grounds, then Great Temple, then to Meeting Grounds. Get '''''SEEKER MISSILES'''''.
+# Go to Torvus Temple and get '''''SUPER MISSILES'''''
-=== Agon Wastes ===
+# Go to Lower Torvus and get '''''GRAVITY BOOST''''' early via [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Early_Items#Gravity_Boost|underwater dashes]].
+# Get the dark torvus key in Undertemple Access in Dark Lower Torvus, then go to Undertemple and defeat [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Boss_Tricks#Power_Bomb_Guardian|Power Bomb Guardian]] for '''''MAIN POWER BOMBS'''''.
-* Go to Mining Plaza.
+# Climb Dark Lower Torvus, defeat [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Boss_Tricks#Grapple_Guardian|Grapple Guardian]], and get '''''GRAPPLE BEAM'''''.
-** If you want, you can use the Sandigger wallcrawl to get Dark Beam much more quickly than normal.
+# Go to the elevator to Sanctuary via Training Chamber
-*** Make sure to get the Mining Station Access energy tank on the way out of Agon later! *** Keep in mind, doing Sandigger skips the Ammo Expansion in Central Mining Station, so you will either have to get the ammo expansion in Watch Station, or play the rest of the game with only 50 beam ammo.
+# Go get '''''[[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Early_Items#Screw_Attack|Screw Attack Early]]'''''.
-*** Skip the following steps until the Dark Samus 1 fight if you are wallcrawling to Dark Samus.
+# Go down to Hall of Combat Mastery and take the scan portal.
-* Go to Mining Station A. Use space jump to reach the scan post and go to Central Mining Station. Be aware of your missile count, as missiles are used very often throughout the entire of the space pirate station before obtaining Dark Beam, especially if you did not get the early power bomb expansion.
+# Skip Echo Visor and either wallcrawl past or fight Quadraxis. Get the Sanctuary Energy.
-* Defeat the space pirates in Central Mining Station. Feel free to use a power bomb on the first set of pirates. Then destroy the turrets; use one charge shot then two missiles for each of the two turrets. Grab the beam ammo expansion here early by either using spider ball and a scan dash, or using a 3BSJ before the pirate fight.
+# Go back to light world and return the Sanctuary Energy in Sanctuary Energy Controller. Get '''''COBALT TRANSLATOR''''' if you need it.
-* Go to Command Center, defeat the pirates here, then go to Security Station B to see Dark Samus. Enter Command Center via the missile door, then leave and go back through the previous blue door; the scan post in the alcove is intended to be scannable only from inside the alcove, but it becomes scannable from outside the moment you step inside it.
+# Go to Hall of Combat Mastery and take the elevator to Agon.
-* Go to Main Reactor by going around the pirate base, through Biostorage Station then Bioenergy Production.
+# Go through Agon and take the elevator back to Temple Grounds.
-** Climb Bioenergy Production via the controller trick (feel free to grab the energy tank here if you so desire, but it costs a chunk of time to get).
+# Get '''''LIGHT SUIT'''''. Warp to Torvus.
-* Fight [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Boss_Tricks#Dark_Samus_1|Dark Samus]] in Main Reactor, and get Dark Beam.
+# Go to Forgotten Bridge, take the portal here, then go to Dark Torvus Arena to get the second Dark Torvus Key.
-* Go to Command Center and take the Dark Portal to Doomed Entry.
+# Go to Torvus Temple, getting the last torvus key on the way, and fight [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Boss_Tricks#Chykka]] to get '''''DARK VISOR'''''.
-* Go get Light Beam by taking the blue door on the right towards Oasis Access, and following the circular path. Remember to power bomb the wall for the Sky Temple Key in Dark Oasis!
+# Reload the room and don't get the Torvus Energy.
-* Go to Dark Oasis through the white door. Take the portal back to Main Reactor.
+# Follow the standard sky temple key collection endgame route.
-* Go to Agon Temple. To go there, in Main Reactor, fall into where you fought Dark Samus, and take the spider track up to the white door to Ventilation Area A, Sandcanyon, then Agon Temple. Go right to get the Amber Translator, then boost straight across Agon temple.
-** You will trigger the Bomb Guardian fight, but you can boost ball the glass walls that pop up. Simply leave via the door quickly to unload the room before the cutscene starts where he becomes dark.
-* Go back to the elevator to Temple Grounds.
-* Go to Great Temple, go straight across the temple room, and go to Temple Transport C to go to Meeting Grounds.
-* Use the half pipe to go get Seeker Missiles. You don't have super missiles yet, so you have two methods of getting out:
-** The much faster method is to use a midair instant unmorph into the tunnel you popped out of.
-** If you can't do the above at all, then go through the seeker door and back to where your ship is. Do the ILS trick to get out of bounds and wallcrawl back to Meeting Grounds. Keep in mind, this is MUCH slower.
-* Go to Hall of Eyes and take the Dark Portal.
-* Do [[Metroid_Prime_2:_Echoes/Skipping_Items#Dark_Suit|Dark Suit Skip]] to make it to the Path of eyes.
-* Go to the elevator to Torvus Bog.
