Super Metroid: Difference between revisions

'''Super Metroid''' is the successor to ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]''. In it, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] answers a distress call at the Space Colony [[Ceres Space Colony|Ceres]]. She finds that the station is deserted and the researchers are dead. When she located the [[Metroid Hatchling]], she finds that [[Ridley]] has taken it and gives chase.  ''Super Metroid'' improved on the formula established in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' and ''Metroid II: Return of Samus''.

''Super Metroid'' is a direct sequel to ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]''. After Samus' mission on [[SR388]] is over, she brings the last surviving Metroid hatchling to the [[Ceres Space Colony]] to have scientists harness its power and study it. After it is stolen by [[Ridley]], she returns to [[Zebes]] to find it.  After delving deep into the planet's inner depths, she confronts Ridley once again and defeats him; however, the infant Metroid is nowhere to be found.  Shortly afterward, Samus invades [[Tourian]] to defeat [[Mother Brain]], but on the way she is attacked by a massive Metroid, which is none other than the hatchling.  At the brink of death, the Metroid recognizes Samus and spares her life, flying off.  Samus continues through Tourian and eventually reaches Mother Brain's lair; however, after Samus has seemingly defeated the supercomputer, it reveals its true powers in an enormous body.  Mother Brain's strength proves to be too much for Samus to handle; however, at the last minute, the Metroid hatchling swoops in and drains Mother Brain's life energy, giving it to Samus.  Mother Brain manages to recover, however, and kills the Metroid; its remains fall upon Samus, and she gains access to the [[Hyper Beam]], allowing her to finish off Mother Brain.  Afterward, Samus escapes from the impending explosion of Zebes; during the countdown, the player has the option of rescuing the [[Etecoon]]s and [[Dachora]]s as well.
