In ''Super Metroid'', Mother Brain appears identical to its previous incarnation. After destroying the Zebetite shield, however, and delivering significant damage, Mother Brain transforms into an extremely powerful bipedal being. In this form, Mother Brain also possesses a potent [[Hyper Beam (Mother Brain)|Hyper Beam]] that drains massive amounts of energy and ammunition and leaves Samus paralyzed. If Samus manages to survive long enough, the [[Metroid Hatchling|infant Metroid]] will appear and attack Mother Brain, draining its energy and returning it to Samus. The hatchling attempts to protect Samus from further damage but is destroyed by Mother Brain. The hatchling's destruction somehow bestows the power of the Hyper Beam to Samus, who then uses it to destroy Mother Brain.
In ''Super Metroid'', Mother Brain first appears identical to its previous incarnation. After destroying the Zebetite shield and delivering significant damage, Mother Brain transforms into an extremely powerful bipedal being. In this form, Mother Brain also possesses a potent [[Hyper Beam (Mother Brain)|Hyper Beam]] that drains massive amounts of energy and ammunition and leaves Samus paralyzed. If Samus manages to survive the onslaught, the [[Metroid Hatchling|infant Metroid]] will appear and attack Mother Brain, draining its energy and returning it to Samus. The hatchling attempts to protect Samus from further damage but is destroyed by Mother Brain. The hatchling's destruction bestows the power of the Hyper Beam to Samus, who then uses it to destroy Mother Brain.


It is actually impossible for [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to defeat Mother Brain; only the appearance of the [[Metroid Hatchling|infant Metroid]] allows Samus to emerge victorious.

Line 51: Line 50:


During the events of ''Other M'', Galactic Federation scientists develop a program based on Mother's artificial intelligence and create an android known as [[MB]]. MB develops Mother's consciousness and becomes violent, stirring the creatures aboard the [[Bottle Ship]] into a frenzy, which forces [[Madeline Bergman]] to send out the distress signal that leads Samus to the facility, a much different version of events than is told by MB, who assumes Bergman's identity upon meeting Samus. MB is eventually killed through the combined efforts of Bergman and Galactic Federation troops.
