Tallon Overworld makes up most of Tallon IV's surface in Metroid Prime. Samus first arrives there after the destruction of Frigate Orpheon.

Environment

Flora and Terrain

A rich ecosystem.

The Overworld is a rainforest with stereotypical high amounts of rainfall and a constant overcast sky. The thin canopy is primarily composed of indigenous Guide Stems and Red Starbursts, the respective bioluminescence and color of which lend some variety to an otherwise monochromatic overhang. The Overworld floor boasts lush foliage, including lichen, Blastcaps, Saturnines, and other fungi, a carpet of mosses and Tallon Ferns, various kinds of weed including Tangle and Venom Weed, and more volatile plantforms such as Bloodflowers and Sap Sacs. Local topography is craggy and overgrown, and includes bracken-filled caverns and groves, ancient ruins and Half Pipes evidencing Chozo colonization, and various water features including falls and lagoons.

Biosphere

Local wildlife thrives in the diverse, moist environment, and makes their homes in the water, under the ground, and on the crags. Beetles, Zoomers, and Geemers are common indigenous enemies.

Obstacles and Acquisitions

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.
