Metroid Prime 2 Differences - Portal Shortcut Removed

In the original and PAL releases of MP2, it's possible to bypass having to drop either the 1st or 2nd lens, meaning only the 3rd lens was needed to trigger the cut-scene that powers up the first portal you go into.

In the Japanese version however, this speed trick has been removed as ALL 3 lenses MUST be triggered to set off the cut-scene that powers up the portal.
