Storyline[edit | edit source]

Samus lands on the desolate planet SR388, the Metroid home world. Her mission is to eliminate every Metroid on the planet. Inside the complex plant she encounters many Chozo structures such as temples, water plants and factories. She also encounters many different hostile life forms, such as Hornoads and the Metroids. She encounters the entire metroid life cycle. Alpha Metroids, Gamma Metroids, Zeta Metroids, and even Omega Metroids. As Samus proceeds deeper into the planet, she is forced to eliminate every Metroid. When she finally reaches the farthest depths of the caverns and she finds a giant Queen Metroid. After a difficult battle with the Queen, Samus continues to search for the last remaining Metroid, only to discover a Metroid Hatching. Rather than attacking her, it follows her, believing Samus is its maternal figure. Seeing the potential for scientific discoveries, Samus decides not to terminate it. She returns to her ship by way of an escape cavern that is cleared out by the baby Metroid. This later leads to the events of Super Metroid.

New Gameplay Elements[edit | edit source]
