No Missable Items
There are no missable items and power-ups in the game since you can backtrack to almost any location visited on the planet ZDR. Because of this, try to get 100% item completion by getting all Energy Parts, Energy Tanks, Missile Tanks, and Missile+ Tanks just before the final boss to unlock all obtainable Chozo Archive images in the gallery.

No Permadeth
There is no permadeth feature or game mode in Metroid Dread. This means that you will not automatically start from the very beginning of the game if you die. Try to save often at Network Stations, especially after acquiring new weapons, ability upgrades, and power-ups upon exploring new levels in the game.
