'''''Metroid Fusion''''', also known as '''''Metroid 4''''', is the fourth game in the ''Metroid'' series. It was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2002. In the ''Metroid'' timeline, Metroid Fusion is the last game, following ''[[Super Metroid]]''. | |||
==Story== | |||
===Preface=== | |||
Shortly after the events of ''Super Metroid'', Samus had been assigned to protect Biologic researchers on a mission on the surface of the planet [[SR388]], the former home of the now extinct [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]]. While exploring the underground, Samus was attacked by a local creature. After exploding, the creature sprouted an unknown gelatinous yellow life-form that was immune to Samus's missiles. It was absorbed into her [[Power Suit]]. The life-form would later turn out to be the parasitic [[X]] virus. On her way back to the [[Biologic Space Labs]], the X virus took control of Samus's central nervous system, and she became unconscious. Uncontrolled, her [[Gunship]] crashed into an asteroid in a nearby asteroid belt. The ship's automatic security system ejected the escape pod before the impact, and Samus was later found by Biologic's vessel. | |||
Samus was brought for instant treatment to the [[Galactic Federation]] HQ. During the transport, the X virus multiplied in Samus's body and corrupted large parts of her Power Suit. Because of the X infestation, the organic parts of the Power Suit became so integrated into Samus's own system that they could not be removed while she was unconcious. The suit had to be taken apart surgically, altering its appearance so that it now has been dubbed the [[Fusion Suit]], but the X in Samus's nervous system still provided an immediate threat for her survival. However, she could finally be cured with an anti-X vaccine made out of Metroid cells. The cells came from a last remaining cell culture that had been preserved from the last infant Metroid (seen in ''[[Super Metroid]]''). The vaccine destroyed all X viruses after it had been injected into Samus's body, saving her life. The vaccine also made her permanently immune to X virus effects. In addition, Samus gained the ability to absorb X parasites, using their energy to replenish her health and weapons. | |||
===The investigations on B.S.L=== | |||
After being cured, Samus returned to Biologic Space Labs (B.S.L), where the remaining creatures found on the expedition on SR388, as well as the infested part of the Power Suit, had been sent. There had been an unexplained explosion on the station, and Samus was sent to investigate the situation on deck. During her missions on B.S.L, she was guided by the computer on her new ship, which she named [[Adam]], in honor of her previous commanding officer, [[Adam Malkovich]]. | |||
Samus discovers that the staff of B.S.L had been killed, and most of the creatures that were under research in the separate sectors had been infected, killed, and then mimicked by X parasites. Under orders to exterminate the X as quickly as possible, Samus dowloads [[Missile]] data for that purpose in the [[Data Room]] on the [[Operations Deck]]. Before she can make her way back to the Main Deck, an electrical interference disables the elevators. Samus escapes from the Operations Decks via the air vents, but comes across a [[Core X]] parasite that gives her the [[Morph Ball]] ability. | |||
Adam detects that the X have infested the breeding habitats of the species in [[Sector 1 (SRX)]] and orders Samus to go there. Samus takes the main elevator from the main deck to the sector, but it gets damaged immediately afterwards by the [[SA-X]], an X virus that is composed of Samus's infected Power Suit components. | |||
===Initial sector missions=== | |||
Being stuck, Samus sets out to take care of the problems found in Sector 1. Adam notes that the X have invaded the atmospheric stabilizers that are responsible for simulating the climate of SR388 in the sector. The X are apparently trying to alter the environment for their own needs. Samus clears all five stabilizers. On her way, she comes across a Core X mimicing a Chozo Statue as seen in earlier Metroid games. It gives her the [[Charge Beam]]. | |||
Samus is then ordered to [[Sector 2 (TRO)]] by Adam, who has also now identified the SA-X as the cause for the X outbreak in B.S.L. The Metroid vaccine has made Samus vulnerable to the [[Ice Beam]], and as the SA-X is currently holding the Ice Beam, Adam informs Samus to run away from it at first sight. In Sector 2, Samus is supposed to download Bomb data from the Data Room there, as the Operations Deck is unreachable due to the elevator problem. The Data Room in Sector 2 is sealed with a Level 1 hatch. In order to open the hatch, Samus has to find the [[Security Room]] to release the lock for Level 1. On her way out of the Data Room, she finds the door being destroyed and the hallway blocked. | |||
Samus excapes through uncharted areas of Sector 2, and comes across a Core X on the way, which gives her the Hi Jump and Jumpball abilities. As Samus returns to a [[Navigation Room]] to talk to Adam, he notes that the released lock allowed the SA-X to invade [[Sector 4 (AQA)]] with several thousand X parasites. Adam warns Samus of [[Serris]], a creature habitating in Sector 4 that can move and attack at ultra-high speed. Since being released by the SA-X, Serris has destroyed large parts of the Sector and broken cables caused by the destruction electrocute the water in it. | |||
==Enemies== | |||
===X parasites=== | |||
As it turned out, most of all specimen that had been brought to B.S.L for research purposes have been infected by X parasites. The X multiply quickly and kill the host creature. They also absorb its DNA and can use it to mimic the host. The mimics have the same abilities as the original creature. Destroying the mimiced creature will set the X virus free. As the only predator of the X are the Metroids, the vaccine inserted into Samus has made her invulnerable to X effects. She also can now absorb the X that have no host. Absorbing X replenishes Samus's health and weapon power. It can also give her back some of her latent abilities that have not been functioning since her Power Suit has been taken off. When the virus is not absorbed, it will begin to mimic a creature again. | |||
Types of X parasites include: | |||
*[[Yellow X]] - restores some health. | |||
*[[Green X]] - restores some missiles. | |||
*[[Red X]] - restores a lot of health, missiles and power bombs. | |||
*[[Core X]] - gives an ability. | |||
*[[Blue X]] - hurts Samus when absorbed unless she has the [[Varia Suit]]. Can be stunned by shooting at it. | |||
