Prime Hunter

Prime Hunter is a mode in Metroid Prime Hunters' multiplayer mode. In this mode, the Hunter who gets the first kill becomes the Prime Hunter. When a Hunter is a Prime Hunter, they will rapidly lose energy but will also become faster and more powerful, gaining the character bonuses for all Affinity Weapons (excluding the Shock Coil, though it can still be used) in addition to their normal affinity. They also gain an affinity for the Omega Cannon even though no Hunter has a regular affinity for it; this makes the weapon work as it does in Adventure Mode.
Wit these rules in place, the Prime Hunter must kill the opponents for more energy, as they can no longer regain energy through the normal means of Energy Capsules or the Shock Coil. If the Hunter with Prime Hunter status is killed by an opponent, then the Hunter who killed the previous Prime Hunter will become the next Prime Hunter. If the Hunter dies from having all their energy drained, then nobody becomes a Prime Hunter until the next kill. The first Hunter to reach a set time goal as the Prime Hunter wins.
The mode can also be played with the system's Download Play, but with these restrictions:
*Can only be played with Samus Aran 
*The only selectable mode is Battle 
*Only the host can select a stage
Prime Hunter mode can be played on all levels.

"Be the first to defeat an opponent to become the Prime Hunter, then stay alive as long as possible. The enemy who kills you will become the next Prime Hunter. The bounty hunter who stays the Prime Hunter the longest wins."
