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 Pirates who, during the events of Super Metroid, had constructed a massive base there. Within the deeper sections of Norfair, also resided Ridley, the leader of the Pirates' military. Norfair has appeared in Metroid, Super Metroid, and Metroid: Zero Mssion.
Metroid and 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 Bombs to access previously inaccessable areas. While most of these lead to Missile Expansions, one of these bombings is required to gain access to Ridley's Lair. The most common enemies that appear in Norfair are Novas, Gerutas, Multiviolas, and a form of the standard Ripper.
Super Metroid
Norfair of Super Metroid appars to have been heavily flooded with lava after Samus' first visit to the planet.
