| == Storyline == | | == Storyline == |
| The story follows almost the same story as ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus |Metroid II]]'' with a few exceptions. Soon after gaining the [[Grapple Beam]] in Area 3, Samus runs into a deactivated [[Diggernaut]] which is blocking the path. Samus reactivates the Diggernaut, and it runs away. Later, in Area 4, Samus encounters a item room with a mutilated Chozo statue. Samus ventures down a passageway and falls into a cave where the Diggernaut is mining it. It then attempts to run over Samus, utilizing its digger arms. Samus manages to hide, and the Diggernaut ejects the [[Space Jump]] upgrade before wandering away. After gaining every Upgrade except the [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]] and defeating all of the Metroids in Area 6, Samus once more encounters the Diggernaut, this time destroying it and gaining the Power Bombs.
| | It can be assumed that the game follows the same events as the original. |
| | |
| After Samus killed the [[Queen Metroid]] and discovered the [[Metroid Hatchling]], the pair goes to the surface, only to be ambushed by [[Proteus Ridley]], who stole the Baby Metroid. Samus enters combat with Ridley and destroys one of his wings which forces Proteus Ridley into a crash landing. Proteus Ridley comes back to life and smashes Samus into the floor firing shots into her head. The baby intervenes, sucking energy out of Ridley and granting it to Samus. Revitalized, Samus permanently puts Proteus Ridley out of commission. Samus and the baby leave victorious, presumably heading to [[Ceres]] for the events of ''[[Super Metroid]]''.

| After the credits, a scene is shown where a [[Hornoad]] attempts to eat one of Proteus Ridley's arms, but an [[X Parasite]] emerges, turning the Hornoad into a Hornoad-X.

| Samus can now fire in every direction, and has a melee counter. The [[Charge Beam]], [[Grapple Beam]], [[Super Missile]], [[Gravity Suit]] and [[Power Bombs]] have been added. New [[Aeion]] abilities have been added. The Scan Pulse fills some of your map and lets you see breakable blocks. The Lightning Armour substitutes energy damage for Aeion. The Beam Burst uses Aeion to turn the Beam Cannoninto a rapid fire weapon. The Phase Drift slows down time, which allows you to walk on disintegrating blocks. New Aeion Tanks allow you to have more Aeion and the Super Missile and Power Bomb tanks return. The amiibo each give you a sub tank when used during gameplay but the Metroid amiibo unlocks Fusion Mode once you've beaten the game. There are three difficulty levels; two of them can be unlocked by beating the game and/or scanning a amiibo. | | Samus can now fire in every direction, and has a melee attack. The [[Charge Beam]], [[Grapple Beam]], and [[Super Missile]] have been shown to have been added, seen in the Nintendo Treehouse gameplay footage.
