Samus sets out to reclaim her original [[Upgrade|upgrades]] from ''Metroid'' as well as some new ones that help her along her way. Numerous enemies bar her way to find the four guardians. She encounters Kraid, who was one of the guardians of "old" Tourian and has rebuilt his lair, which takes up a large part of Brinstar, and defeats him to claim the [[Varia Suit]] as her own. She then makes her way to the [[Wrecked Ship]] and finds Phantoon, who has shut off the power supply to the ship, making progress impossible until she defeats him. Afterwards she takes the [[Gravity Suit]] from a storage room in the Ship. After making her way through the Wrecked Ship and its mazes, she finds her way into the submerged Space Pirate research facility in [[Maridia]].

After moving through Maridia, Samus find many more upgrades and makes her way to [[Ridley's Lair]] in [[Norfair]], where she also finds the Baby's broken capsule. Along the way, Samus encounters the [[Mochtroid]]s, the products of the Pirates' failed experiment to clone [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]]s for use as bioweapons. She annihilates them and continues her quest to make her way into "new" Tourian.
