Tourian is a series of long hallways with doors of various levels blocking the way, requiring the use of [[Missile]]s to proceed. Throughout Tourian, [[Rinka|Rinkas]] constantly appear to stall Samus' progress, implying a defense system.

While there are no [[Space Pirate]]s in ''Metroid'''s Tourian, ''Zero Mission'' contains the bodies of dead Space Pirates, implying that they were killed by the Metroids. In the original, Metroids are always visible in the foreground, and killing them is not required. In ''Zero Mission'', Metroids appear from the background, and must be exterminated before the next room can be accessed. This is accomplished by freezing them with the [[Ice Beam]] and shooting them with Missles.

Mother Brain, protected by five barriers of [[Zebetite]], several turrets, and a constant barrage of Rinkas, is the final boss encountered by Samus in Tourian. However, upon defeating Mother Brain, a time bomb is set, and Samus is required to flee through a long, upward escape shaft, leading to the surface of Zebes.
