'''''Metroid: Zero Mission''''' is a [[Metroid (series)|Metroid game]] made exclusive for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2004. It follows [[Samus Aran]]'s first mission as a [[Bounty Hunter]]. It is a remake of the first original [[Metroid (game)|Metroid]] game for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1986. ''Metroid'' thus makes it the first game in the series chronologically. The game follows mostly the same plot as the original with a few added elements, environments, and extras that can be collected, such as Hard Mode.

If the Space Pirates were able to breed the Metroids and use the creatures as biological weapons, the destruction of all galactic civilization would be inevitable. After a desperate search, the [[Galactic Federation|Federation]] officials discovered the Space Pirates' base of operations on the planet Zebes. They launched a full assault on the planet, though Pirate resistance was strong, causing the Federation Police to retreat. Meanwhile, in a room hidden deep within the center of the Pirate Fortress, the preparations for multiplying the Metroids were steadily progressing.

[[Samus Aran]] was chosen for the mission, considered the greatest of all bounty hunters. Samus had successfully completed numerous missions that others had thought impossible before, making her an excellent candidate. However, despite her accomplishments, much of Samus's true identity remained wrapped in mystery.

Alone, Samus Aran successfully landed on the surface of [[Zebes]], which was, in fact, the planet where Samus had been raised as a child by the [[Chozo]]. By exploring the planet, she was able  to find new abilities in the forms of missiles, beams, suits, bombs and other miscellaneous abilities. She single-handedly defeated the Space Pirate commander [[Kraid]] and eventually [[Ridley]] as well as other monstrosities before confronting [[Mother Brain]], the organic supercomputer that controls everything on Zebes. However, as she is leaving the planet, Space Pirate fighters ambush her [[Samus Aran's Gunship|gunship]], causing Samus to crashland back on the planet's surface, near the Space Pirate Mothership.

Absent from the original Metroid is diagonal aiming, crouching, wall jumping, the [[Shinespark]], and more.


Unlike the original, Zero Mission features a map, making navigating through the tunnels of Zebes much easier. In the final sequence where Samus has entered the Space Pirate Mothership and the areas around it, she travels without her Power Suit, relying on an emergency pistol.

This pistol, called the Paralyzer, is auto charging. Once fully charged it can stun an enemy for a short while, turning them pink in color.
