While there are no [[Space Pirates]] in ''Metroid'''s Tourian, ''Zero Mission'' contains the bodies of dead Space Pirates, implying that they were killed by the Metroids. In the original, Metroids are always visible in the foreground, and killing them is not required. In Zero Mission, Metroids appear from the background, and must be exterminated before the next room can be accessed. This is accomplished by freezing them with the [[Ice Beam]] and shooting them with Missles.
