Storyline

The story follows almost the same story as 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 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.

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.
