The '''SA-X''', presumably an abbreviation for '''Samus Aran-X''', are a group of X that mimicked [[Samus Aran]]. This particular strain of [[X Parasite|X parasites]] was created by the infected sections of [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] [[Power Suit]] when she was on an escort mission for [[Biologic Space Labs]] researchers on [[SR388]]. The first SA-X awakens in the [[Quarantine Bay]] and escapes using a [[Power Bomb]], and begins wreaking havoc throughout the [[Biologic Space Labs Research Station|B.S.L research station]].<ref name="First Sighting">{{cite|I have named it the SA-X. I believe the SA-X came from the capsule containing your infected suit parts. It used a Power Bomb to escape the Quarantine Bay. That explosion breached the capsules containing all the X that started this disaster. But the SA-X is definitely our biggest worry right now. The SA-X is mimicking you at full power. You can't face it. If you see the SA-X, just run. Don't think about fighting... You are still very vulnerable to cold, an unexpected side-effect of the Metroid vaccine. Like Metroids, you can be frozen by an Ice Beam. Of course, the SA-X is armed with the Ice Beam. Stay away. If you see it, just run. HQ says they have Bomb data ready in the Data Room. Bombs will help you find a way out if the SA-X traps you. The Data Room is here, but... it's sealed by a Level 1 hatch. You'll have to find the Security Room and release the Level 1 locks. But per safety protocols, it's not marked on the map. You'll have to find it on your own somehow, Samus.

An SA-X is seen destroying barriers around Metroids and attempting to fend them off and failing in the restricted areas of [[Sector 6 (NOC)]]. Its destruction triggers the ignition of fires, creating a hazard reaction to detach the restricted area from the rest of the ship for self-destruction. | An SA-X is seen destroying barriers around Metroids and attempting to fend them off and failing in the restricted areas of [[Sector 6 (NOC)]].

As Samus returns to the Main Deck, an SA-X (probably the first SA-X) challenges her to a final match. Without the option of fleeing, Samus fights the creature armed with the [[Wave Beam]]. Even with these weapons, Samus at first only manages to damage the SA-X to the point where it transforms to a grotesque, mutated form. Once this creature is injured, the SA-X reverts to a blue Core-X, but escapes before Samus can break its protective shell. This Core-X is later absorbed by Samus after an [[Omega Metroid]] devastates its armor. By absorbing the SA-X, Samus regained her abilities and upgrades at her peak strength, including | As Samus returns to the Main Deck, an SA-X (probably the first SA-X) challenges her to a final match.
