It follows [[Samus Aran]]'s first mission as a [[Bounty Hunter]]. It is a remake of the first original [[Metroid (game)|Metroid]] game for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1986. ''Metroid'' thus makes it the first game in the series chronologically. The game follows mostly the same plot as the original with a few added elements, environments, and extras that can be collected, such as Hard Mode. | ||

In the year 20X5 of the Cosmic Calendar, the [[Space Pirate]]s attacked a deep-space research vessel and seized capsules containing samples of an unknown species that had been discovered on planet [[SR388]]. The Space Pirates' objective was to acquire these life-forms: known simply as [[Metroid_(species)|Metroids]], these floating organisms were incredibly dangerous, as they could latch onto any other organism and drain its life-energy. Furthermore, it was possible to replicate Metroids in vast numbers by exposing them to beta rays. The hypotheses that the Metroids were responsible for one of the greatest mysteries in the entire galaxy — the extinction of all life on planet SR388 — was generally accepted as fact. | In the year 20X5 of the Cosmic Calendar, the [[Space Pirate]]s attacked a deep-space research vessel and seized capsules containing samples of an unknown species that had been discovered on planet [[SR388]].

After a desperate search, the [[Galactic Federation|Federation]] officials discovered the Space Pirates' base of operations on the planet Zebes. They launched a full assault on the planet, though Pirate resistance was strong, causing the Federation Police to retreat. Meanwhile, in a room hidden deep within the center of the Pirate Fortress, the preparations for multiplying the Metroids were steadily progressing. | ||
