Acid Rain is featured in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' with extremely exaggerated volatile power.<ref name="Logbook"/> The [[Pirate Homeworld]] is the only area that is plagued by the rain, due to the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirate's]] constant pollution that ruins their environment.<ref name="Logbook"/> However, they do take action of the hazard, as they have installed drains that lead to an underground piping network that leads out of the facility.<ref>{{cite|Drain releases acid rain into a piping network in the floor to be pumped out of the facility.|Scan Data-Courtyard Passage|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption}}</ref> Every ground personnel at the Homeworld has also been equipped with a [[Hazard Shield]], a device that protects its wearer from the harmful affects of Acid Rain and other substances. In a gameplay point of view, the Acid Rain's energy-draining qualities are extremely hazardous. When exposed to, [[Samus Aran|Samus']] energy drains at the same rate as it is refilled while exposed to [[Phazon]] in the [[Phazon Enhancement Device Suit|PED Suit]]. However, after staying in the rain for an extended period of time, Samus will immediately be killed with the corrosive power of the rain. Additionally, Acid Rain is reported in [[Crateria]] on [[Zebes]]. This rain does not cause damage to Samus, most likely due to a lower acidity. | ||
Acid rain also appears on [[Crateria]], the surface of the planet [[Zebes]].<ref>{{Cite manual|[[Crateria]] is the surface area of [[Zebes|Planet Zebes]]. It is under constant deluge of acid rain|Super Metroid|18}}</ref> It is probably much less acidic than Pirate Homeworld's rain considering that it is unable to damage even Samus's weakest [[Power Suit]]. Acid rain is a possible factor contributing to the {{wp|desert}}-like surface of Zebes. | |||
Rain is visible on Crateria as [[Zero Suit Samus]] crash lands back on Planet Zebes in ''[[Zero Mission]]'', if this is the same acid rain, then it is so neutral that it can't directly damage Samus's [[Zero Suit]] or face. | |||

*The Acid Rain that falls during the fight with [[Gandrayda]] does conveniently less damage to Samus, and she will not be killed in the event of staying in the rain (unless she stays in until her energy is depleted, of course). This is most likely due to the boss fight being held outside in an uncontrolled area. | *The Acid Rain that falls during the fight with [[Gandrayda]] does conveniently less damage to Samus, and she will not be killed in the event of staying in the rain (unless she stays in until her energy is depleted, of course).

*Acid rain occurs on {{wp|Earth}} and other planets in the {{wp|Solar System}} (such as notably {{wp|Venus}}). Earth's acid rain is relatively neutral, however, it is still able to severely damage {{wp|forest}} ecosystems. This mirrors Crateria's acid rain. | |||
