Super Metroid Manual/The Planet Zebes

The Planet Zebes

Raid on Zebes

Samus Aran’s mission is to infiltrate the headquarters of the Zebesian space pirates and recapture the Metroid hatchling. Zebes is made up of six huge areas. Here’s a brief survey of the planet.

Starship

The Starship acts as Samus' base. As you guide Samus on her journey, you can save the game data here and fill up with energy and missiles.

Crateria

Crateria is the surface area of the Planet Zebes. It is under a constant deluge of acid raid.

Brinstar

The jungle area of Zebes is a maze of heavy foilage.

Tourian

Tourian is the control center for the Zebesian space pirates and the Mother Brain. The original Tourian was located just below the surface. After Samus Aran annihilated the forces of Zebes the first time, this new Tourian was built in a more secure area.

Norfair

Norfair is deep below the surface of Zebes. The lava and heat prove to be too much for unprotected visitors.

Maridia

The water world of Zebes is full of killer crustaceans and fierce fish.

Wrecked Ship

Long ago, astronauts from an ancient civilization crash landed on Zebes. This is what remains of their ship
