Game endings

Each time you complete the game you'll be shown your completion time and item percentage rate. These two variables and the difficulty setting you've played the game on will determine what piece of Samus artwork you'll receive, and keep in mind that every time you unlock a new one it'll be viewable via the Image Gallery in the main menu. Read on for a list of the requirements for each piece of artwork.
