The Metroid series is a video game series that follows the adventures of Samus Aran as she goes throughout the universe defeating the Space Pirates. The Metroid series was created by Nintendo, and is still being produced today, with the latest released game being Metroid Prime: Trilogy for the Nintendo Wii.\
The Metroid chronology spans from Samus's first missions to Metroid Fusion and perhaps beyond. While the Metroid games themselves do not occur in release order, the chronilogical order has been confirmed by various developer statements and the Metroid Prime bonus disk. The chronology is displayed below.
Metroid Chronology
Metroid/Zero Mission
Samus travels through the caverns of planet Zebes, a former chozo home world that has been taken over by space pirates, to stop the Space Pirates from exploiting the Metroid species for galactic domination. After facing the guardians, Kraid and Ridley she confronts the cybernetic lifeform Mother Brain, destroying it and the space pirate base within Zebes. The 2004 remake Metroid: Zero Mission has an addendum to the storyline—after the defeat of Mother Brain, Samus was ambushed by Space Pirates and her ship crash-landed back on the surface of Zebes. Stripped of her Power Suit, her ship destroyed, Samus is forced to infiltrate the Space Pirate mothership to find a way off the planet with only an emergency pistol for protection. After receiving a fully powered suit from deep within chozodia, she defeats Mecha Ridley and escapes from the mothership before it self-destructs.
Metroid Prime
Approximately three years after the events of the original Metroid, Samus receives a distress signal in her new ship and travels to the planet of Tallon IV to stop the Space Pirates from exploiting a powerful radioactive substance known as Phazon. She discovers that the Chozo once settled on this planet, and their disappearance, as well as the emergence of Phazon, was caused by a meteor (which we later learn in Corruption to be a leviathan) impacting the planet decades ago. After destroying a Space Pirate mining operation in Phazon Mines and collecting twelve Chozo Artifacts that allow access to the sealed impact crater, she confronts and seemingly destroys Metroid Prime, a Metroid that had been feeding off the Phazon Core of the meteor to increase in size and strength.[5]
Metroid Prime Hunters
When the Federation receives an unusual telepathic message, Samus is sent to the remote Alimbic Cluster in the Tetra Galaxy to uncover the rumored Ultimate Power. Six rival bounty hunters (Kanden, Sylux, Noxus, Spiral, Weavel and Kane) that also heard the message actively attempt to secure the power before anyone else, including Samus. It transpires that the promise of ultimate power was actually a lie sent by the creature Gorea, sealed away by the Alimbics in a void between dimensions. Gorea attacks and sucks the energy and weapons from the hunters. After killing Gorea with the Omega Beam, Samus and the other hunters escape the cluster, empty handed, but alive.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Samus is sent to investigate the planet Aether after a squad of GF Marines was lost there. Samus finds them all dead, killed by several creatures, mostly by an evil race called the Ing. The Ing possess life forms, transforming them into monstrous "dark" versions of their former selves to wage war with Aether's dominant race, the Luminoth. Upon meeting the only remaining member of Luminoth (the others are frozen in stasis chambers, awaiting the destruction of the Ing), Samus learns Aether has been split into two dimensions by a meteor similar to the one that crashed on Tallon IV. Samus agrees to assist by recovering Aether's planetary energy (the "Light of Aether") from Dark Aether and thereby putting an end to Dark Aether and the Ing; however, Samus yet again encounters Metroid Prime (now Dark Samus), who tried to stop her progress. At the end of the game, the Luminoth thank Samus and the Dark side to Aether is finally destroyed.
