This is a data chunk appearing in the area definition in Metroid Prime 1 and 2 that lists all assets needed to load the area. It's extremely important that this list be optimized and complete, as all assets listed here will be perpetually kept in memory as long as the area itself is in memory; the list also specifies the order that assets are loaded in, so '''it must be grouped by load order to roughly match the [[PAK (File Format)|PAK]] file for optimized load times'''. Assets that are missing will still be dynamically loaded after the area itself is loaded, but this will cause the game to freeze up until the load is finished. There are a few exceptions that are excluded from this list in the original game files (and should be excluded in custom MLVLs as well to avoid out-of-memory crashes): | This is a data chunk appearing in the area definition in Metroid Prime 1 and 2 that lists all assets needed to load the area.

These are loaded dynamically after the area itself is finished loading, presumably so that scan dependencies are not kept in memory when the scan isn't actually in use. In MP2, SCANs are actually included in the list but their dependencies aren't. | ||
* [[ANCS (File Format)|ANCS]] per-character dependencies for PlayerActor script instances are not included; this allows the game to avoid keeping assets in memory for suits that the player doesn't have. The exception is the Empty Suit character (character index 5), which is a low-memory-overhead character that allows for the list to include all common assets that are stored in the file per-character (such as particle effects). | * [[ANCS (File Format)|ANCS]] per-character dependencies for PlayerActor script instances are not included; this allows the game to avoid keeping assets in memory for suits that the player doesn't have.
