Super Missiles are very powerful upgrades in the Metroid series, a more concussive version of the standard Missile. They are bulkier in appearance and are green tipped, as opposed to the slim, red-tipped Missiles. They are used to destroy certain armor and enemies, as well as clear away extremely dense materials such as Cordite.

Appearances

Super Metroid

The Super Missiles first appear in Super Metroid, where they are as powerful as five ordinary missiles. They are also used to open green doors. The impact of one of these missiles will cause the screen to shake and will dislodge any nearby enemies which happen to be crawling on the walls and ceilings.

Metroid Fusion

Super Missiles appear in Metroid Fusion, but they are not a permanent item. Instead, they replace Samus's regular missiles until they are replaced by the Ice Missiles.

Metroid Prime

In Metroid Prime, Super Missiles are fired by charging up Samus's Charge Beam and firing a missile. Once again, they are equivalent to five missiles and take up five missiles in use.

The Super Missile upgrade is acquired after activating the Space Pirate's Astronomical Holographic Projector in the Observatory of Phendrana Drifts.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

The Super Missile upgrade from Echoes
The Super Missile upgrade from Echoes

Super Missiles return in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, identical in all ways except for the fact that they open green doors.

Metroid Zero Mission

In Zero Mission, Super Missiles returned to the way they worked in Super Metroid, being a separate weapon acting as a more powerful alternative to regular missiles. They are not required to beat the game if the player uses secret passages.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Super Missiles do not make an appearance in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption since there is already a Hyper Missile, and a return of the Super Missile would be redundant.
