''Metroid Prime'' holds one timed sequence very early in the game. It occurs upon defeating the mutated [[Parasite]], [[Parasite Queen]]. As the creature is dying, it falls into the shaft of the [[Reactor Core]] of [[Frigate Orpheon]], causing a nuclear instability. This soon causes the Frigate's fall from orbit. Samus must escape the exploding Orpheon and reach her [[Samus Aran's Gunship|gunship]] before Orpheon becomes critically damaged. Samus succeeds, however at the price of losing many of her [[Power Suit|suit's]] [[Upgrade|abilities]]. | |||

''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Corruption]]'' is the only game in the series to contain more than two timed sequences. Additionally, not one of the three sequences contain a countdown timer. [[Aurora Unit 242|AU 242]] inform Samus, however, at certain amounts of time remaining. | |||
''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Corruption]]'' is the only game in the series to contain more than two timed sequences. The first occurs when Samus faces the returning [[Meta Ridley]]. Samus and Meta Ridley are both falling down an extremely long, narrow shaft. Samus must defeat Meta Ridley before they hit the ground. After defeating Meta Ridley, Rundas reaches and grabs Samus, pulling her to the top of the shaft. | |||
The first timed sequence occurs on [[Norion]] as the first encountered [[Leviathan]] is headed straight toward Norion. Samus and the other [[Bounty Hunter|hunters]] must reach and activate the cannon used to destroy the Leviathan while it's in motion. She manages to reach the cannon in time but is nearly stopped by [[Dark Samus]]. | |||
The second instance occurs when Samus faces the returning [[Meta Ridley]]. Samus and Meta Ridley are both falling down an extremely long, narrow shaft. Samus must defeat Meta Ridley before they hit the ground. After defeating Meta Ridley, Rundas reaches and grabs Samus, pulling her to the top of the shaft. | |||
The final timed sequence occurs as Samus is aboard the [[Spire Pod]] equipped with the [[Theronian Bomb]]. After successfully thwarting [[Space Pirate|Pirate]] efforts to destroy the bomb before it reaches the Elysian [[Leviathan|Leviathan's]] shield, Samus attempts to escape using the single [[Escape Pod]] on board. The pod, however, malfunctions and must be repaired. Samus has a limited amount of time to repair the pod using her recently acquired [[Plasma Beam]]. If she fails, Samus is destroyed due to the Theronian Bomb's explosion. Samus, however, succeeds in escaping in time, landing the Escape Pod safely in [[SkyTown|SkyTown's]] [[Escape Pod Bay]]. | |||
