Tallon Overworld is a rainforest area that makes up most of Tallon IV's surface in Metroid Prime. Samus first arrives there after the destruction of Frigate Orpheon. The Overworld topography consists of a thin canopy, a floor of lush foliage, including lichen, Blastcaps and other fungi, caverns, and water features. Beetles, Zoomers and Bloodflowers are common indigenous enemies, and Sap Sacs, Red Starbursts, Tangle Weeds, and Blastcaps are among the most common vegetation.

Samus only visits a small portion of the Overworld on her mission to the planet. While there are less upgrades in the Overworld than in the other regions of Tallon IV, it is the location of the pivotal Artifact Temple situated above the Impact Crater. There are several Missile Expansions and two Energy Tanks in the Overworld, as well as the Space Jump Boots and the X-Ray Visor upgrades, and two Chozo Artifacts. The crashed Frigate Orpheon covers a large portion of what Samus explores in the area.

The only boss in the Overworld is Meta Ridley.

Trivia

  • The Tallon Overworld has the most music tracks in the series, six to be exact: the two main themes, the Artifact Temple theme, the Save Station music, Item acquisition fanfare, Elevator room music, and the two themes from the crashed Orpheon.
