''Metroid Prime'' holds one timed sequence very early in the game. It occurs upon defeating the mutated [[Parasite]], [[Parasite Queen]]. As the creature is dying, it falls into the shaft of the [[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, however at the price of losing many of her [[Power Suit|suit's]] [[Upgrade|abilities]]. | ''Metroid Prime'' holds one timed sequence very early in the game.

The countdown in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'' takes place immediately after Samus defeats the [[Emperor Ing]] and drains [[Dark Aether|Dark Aether's]] final [[Energy Controller]]. She is given eight minutes to escape, but after using the [[Light-Based Teleportation System]] to exit the [[Sky Temple]], her exit is blocked off by a wall of [[Phazon]]. After turning around, she finds that it was generated by [[Dark Samus]] who has become supercharged with Phazon. After Samus defeats Dark Samus by using her Phazon energy against her, she can escapes through a nearby portal. | |||

''[[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.

The first timed sequence occurs on [[Norion]] as the first encountered [[Leviathan]] is headed straight toward Norion. Samus and the other [[Bounty Hunter|hunters]] must reach and activate the cannon used to destroy the Leviathan while it's in motion. She manages to reach the cannon in time but is nearly stopped by | The first timed sequence occurs on [[Norion]] as the first encountered [[Leviathan]] is headed straight toward Norion.

The second instance occurs when Samus faces the returning [[Meta Ridley]]. Samus and Meta Ridley are both falling down an extremely long, narrow shaft. Samus must defeat Meta Ridley before they hit the ground. After defeating Meta Ridley, Rundas reaches and grabs Samus, pulling her to the top of the shaft. | The second instance occurs when Samus faces the returning [[Meta Ridley]].
