The '''Mega Core-X''' (also known by various other names: '''Giant Core-X''', '''Varia Core-X''', or '''Barrier Core-X''') is the [[X Parasite|X]] that steals the [[Varia Suit]] from [[Sector 6 (NOC)|NOC's]] [[Data Room]] before Samus is able to download it.<ref name="Download">{{cite|How did that X download the Varia Suit data? This doesn't seem to make any sense at all, unless the X... Unless the X have the ability to process data organically...|Adam Malkovich|Metroid Fusion}}</ref> This special Core-X massively grows in size and gains peripheral [[Core-X]] as an effect of downloading the Varia Suit. After witnessing this X download data, Adam comes to the conclusion that the X can process data organically, much like [[Mother Brain]], the [[Aurora Unit]]s, or [[Security Robot B.O.X.]].

The '''Mega Core-X''' is the {{X}} that stole the [[Varia Suit]] from [[Sector 6 (NOC)|NOC's]] [[Data Room]] before Samus was able to download it. When she battles it, Samus is unable to use [[Missile|Missiles]] at first due to the smaller X circling around it. After damaging it with the [[Charge Beam]] several times, Samus can attack its [[Core X]]
The Mega Core-X can only damage Samus by ramming into her, a simple, but dangerously effective means of attack considering its large size makes it difficult for Samus to dodge. To add to the complexity of the situation, there is a pool of water below during the battle, and falling into it will make Samus very vulnerable to attack because she lacks the [[Gravity Suit]], meaning her movements will be sluggish.

When Samus battles the behemoth, she is unable to use [[Missile]]s against its large form, an immunity granted by the Varia Suit to the X. She can, however, attack it with the [[Charge Beam]]. Samus can destroy the smaller Core-X around the creature, leaving it more exposed to her shots. After damaging it enough, Mega Core-X will diminish back to its original, Core-X state. It will then be susceptible to Samus's missiles, allowing her to break its shell and absorb the Varia Suit she failed to retrieve earlier.
