''Metroid Prime'' holds one timed sequence very early in the game. It occurs upon defeating the mutated [[Parasite]], the [[Parasite Queen]]. As the creature is dying, it falls into the shaft of the [[Reactor Core (Frigate Orpheon)|Reactor Core]] of [[Frigate Orpheon]], causing a nuclear instability. This soon causes the Frigate's fall from orbit. Samus must escape the exploding Orpheon and reach her [[Samus Aran's Gunship|gunship]] before Orpheon becomes critically damaged. Samus succeeds, though she loses many of her [[Power Suit|suit's]] [[Upgrade|abilities]] in the process, forcing her to recollect them later in her adventure. | ''Metroid Prime'' holds one timed sequence very early in the game.

''Metroid Prime Hunters'' features the most countdowns at eight. Every time Samus obtains one of the eight [[Octolith]]s, Samus must make her way through the entire area back to where she landed her ship. The teleporters that lead back to the landing site will be disabled during these countdowns. Each area has its own special characteristics during the countdown. | |||

''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Corruption]]'' is the only game in the series to contain more than two timed sequences. Additionally, not one of the three sequences contain a countdown timer. [[Aurora Unit 242|AU 242]] informs Samus, however, whenever a checkpoint to a certain amount of time remains. | ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Corruption]]'' is the only game in the series, other than Hunters, to contain more than two timed sequences.

The first timed sequence occurs when Samus faces the returning [[Meta Ridley]]. In this occurrence, Samus and Meta Ridley are falling down an extremely deep [[Generator Shaft]] at an incredibly rapid velocity. Samus must defeat Meta Ridley before they impact the core of the shaft, which leads to imminent death. After defeating Meta Ridley, Rundas is able to locate and remove Samus from harm by pulling her back to the top of the shaft. | The first timed sequence occurs when Samus faces the returning [[Meta Ridley]].
