'''Norfair''' is one of the most inhospitable areas found on Planet [[Zebes]]. Located deep beneath the planet's surface, Norfair is a highly-active volcanic caverns, and home to many highly adapted creatures. Symbolized by massive lakes of magma, superheated caverns, and boiling streams of highly acidic substances, Norfair is by far one of, if not the most, dangerous places on Zebes. Also, going even deeper into Norfair reveals ancient Chozo constructs left abandoned, save for the [[Space Pirate]]s who, during the events of ''[[Super Metroid]]'', had constructed a massive base there. Within the lower sections of Norfair, also resided [[Ridley (specimen)|Ridley]], the leader of the Pirates' military. Norfair has appeared in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', ''Super Metroid'', and ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]''.

In the original ''Metroid'' and its remake, Norfair is a volcanic area with very high temperatures, although there are no requirements to enter the area, which was introduced in the remake and ''Super Metroid''. The caverns of the area consist of what appear to be purple bubble-like formations, some of which can be bombed with [[Morph Ball Bomb|Morph Ball Bombs]] to access previously inaccessible areas. While most of these lead to [[Missile Expansion|Missile Expansions]], one of these bombings is required to gain access to [[Ridley (area)|Ridley's Lair]]. The most common enemies that appear in Norfair are [[Nova|Novas]], [[Geruta|Gerutas]], [[Multiviola|Multiviolas]], and a form of the standard [[Ripper]].
