101% glitch

The 101% glitch is an item percentage-related glitch in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. If performed, the glitch enables Samus Aran to collect the Missile Launcher twice.
==Method==
When first entering the GFMC Compound, Samus must approach the ledge in front of her. Normally, she would reach this ledge by progressing through the room, and launching on top of it with a nearby Kinetic Orb Cannon. However, it is possible to perform a Slope Jump. Before triggering the cutscene where Samus plays Squad Bravo's message, she must approach the rock formation on the side of the ledge that resembles a boot and perform a Slope Jump. She should then climb atop the ledge, and be able to drop beside the Galactic Federation Ordnance Crate housing the Launcher. The cutscene can then be triggered, and after it's finished, the Missile Launcher will reappear, and can be obtained again. Both Launchers count toward the game's item percentage, and if all other expansions are collected, the item percentage will read 101%. A demonstration of the glitch can be viewed here: 
With this glitch, it is possible to skip one of the other items and still have 100%. The most common of which would be the Missile Expansion in Hive Chamber B as a result of the Item Loss skip. If all other Missile Expansions are acquired, the Missile Ammo counter does not rise above the limit of 255. The glitch can still be performed in the Metroid Prime Trilogy version of Echoes. However, to do it in that version Samus will need to use the Scan Visor and use it to lock-on to the G.F.S. Tyr when performing the Slope Jump. A demonstration of the glitch in Trilogy can be viewed here:
