In North America, the game was released in a "collector's edition" steel case, featuring art of [[Samus Aran|Samus]] in the [[Varia Suit]] and [[Dark Suit]]. Other regions saw the release of a standard plastic case featuring the same artwork. The case contains a booklet providing a brief overview of the ''Prime'' trilogy's plot, as well as several pages of new concept art and beta images from the games' production process. | In North America, the game was released in a "collector's edition" steel case, featuring art of [[Samus Aran|Samus]] in the [[Varia Suit]] and [[Dark Suit]].

''Metroid Prime Trilogy'''s main menu is designed to resemble the inner structure of Samus's [[Arm Cannon]]. When players decide which of the ''Prime'' games they wish to play, the view zooms out rapidly to show Samus's current appearance in the relevant game (e.g. if Samus is wearing the [[Light Suit]] in ''Echoes'', she will be clad in the suit in the menu), after which point she fires her [[beam]]. Players can also purchase bonuses with the credits they earn while playing the games. | ''Metroid Prime: Trilogy'''s main menu is designed to resemble the inner structure of Samus's [[Arm Cannon]].

*The HUD's ammunition counter has been altered to match that used in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', displaying both her current and maximum [[Missile]] count, rather than only her current missile ammunition. | |||
*When something is scanned to Samus's Logbook, the "Recorded to Logbook" sound effect from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is used in place of the general sound effect from the original release. | |||
*The [[Fusion Suit]] visuals previously unlocked by linking a copy of [[Metroid Fusion]] in the original Gamecube release is now unlocked with the new credits system. The ability to play the original [[Metroid (game)|Metroid]] through this link method is not present at all. | |||

*In ''Trilogy'' version of ''Corruption'', the [[Piston Hall]] no longer contains [[Sky Puffer]]s (seen in the PAL version), and the rotating gate obstruction (seen in the original NTSC version) is replaced by an energy field. This is due to a [[Secret World]] in the original game. | |||
*Many of the [[Sequence Breaking]] techniques in the games have been fixed in an attempt to discourage [[Speedrunning]]. This was done at the suggestion of [[Kensuke Tanabe]]. | |||
