Shortly after | Shortly after departing from the Ceres Space Colony, Samus receives a distress signal indicating that it had come under attack by Space Pirates.<ref>{{cite|But, I had hardly gone beyond the asteroid belt when I picked up a distress signal!

After further exploration into Ceres, Samus encounters Ridley, who is holding the Metroid. She is unable to defeat Ridley before he flees with the Metroid and activates the station's self-destruct.

Out of the darkness came a group of Zebesian space pirates and their leader, Ridley, who had the Metroid larva in tow. The pirates fled to a rebuilt planet Zebes and Samus followed them, resolving to finish them off and save the hatchling!|Super Metroid|5}}</ref> | ||
On Zebes Samus encounters several older enemies, such as [[Kraid]], as well as newer additions to the Pirate forces. After defeating Kraid, [[Phantoon]], [[Draygon]], and Ridley, Samus gains access to a rebuilt Tourian where she discovers a host of Metroids. She later confronts the Metroid Hatchling, who has grown to a gigantic size. The Metroid feeds on Samus and leaves her with a single unit of energy before flying off. | |||
Once recovered, Samus works her way to Mother Brain. Though she manages to destroy Mother's containment vessel, Mother rises up from the ground with a mechanical body and fires an energy beam that is powerful enough to immobilize Samus. Before Mother is able to kill Samus, however, the Hatchling attacks, draining Mother Brain's energy. Afterwards, the Hatchling begins replenishing Samus's energy, even as it is assaulted by Mother Brain. After her energy is restored, the Metroid again tries to attack Mother Brain but is killed in the process. As a result of the Hatchling restoring Samus, all of her beam weapons are replaced by the far more powerful Hyper Beam which she uses to destroy Mother Brain. Immediately after Mother Brain is defeated, a self-destruct is activated. Samus escapes, and the entire planet is demolished in the explosion. | |||
