The SA-X is originally detected by B.S.L's systems when it used [[Super Missile]]s to blast its way through a wall in the [[Main Deck]]. Samus's AI navigator gathered data that implied that this SA-X had set off a Power Bomb in the [[Quarantine Bay]] that released itself and the X that were originally released on the Research Station.

Samus's AI navigator gathered data that implied that this SA-X had set off a Power Bomb in the [[Quarantine Bay]] that released itself and the X that were originally released on the Research Station. The SA-X continued to destroy various doors in [[Sector 2 (TRO)]] forcing Samus to find ways around them using her newly recovered [[Morph Ball Bomb]]. Samus encounters it in this Sector briefly, where it displays its Ice Beam to open a simple [[Door|Blue Door]]. Samus then encounters it while she is in a vent as a Morph Ball. This time, the SA-X uses its fearsome Power Bomb to overcome a barrier. | ||
The SA-X continues to complicate events by hacking into [[Sector 3 (PYR)]]'s heating systems. This incredible display signifies that the X seems to gain the cognitive ability of the creatures' whose DNA it absorbs, if it didn't already have it. Samus then encounters it in [[Sector 5 (ARC)]], where she has now gained many of her abilities to protect herself against the powerful foe with, but not yet the ability to defeat it. Samus and the X in Sector 2 (TRO) again, shortly prior to her battle against [[Nettori]]. The SA-X chases Samus until it loses sight of her. | The SA-X continues to complicate events by hacking into [[Sector 3 (PYR)]]'s heating systems.

An SA-X is seen destroying barriers around Metroids and attempting to fend them off and failing in the restricted areas of [[Sector 6 (NOC)]]. Its destruction triggers the ignition of fires, creating a hazard reaction to detach the restricted area from the rest of the ship for self-destruction. | An SA-X is seen destroying barriers around Metroids and attempting to fend them off and failing in the restricted areas of [[Sector 6 (NOC)]].

As Samus returns to the Main Deck, an SA-X (probably the first SA-X) challenges her to a final match. Without the option of fleeing, Samus fights the creature armed with the [[Wave Beam]]. Even with these weapons, Samus at first only manages to damage the SA-X to the point where it transforms to a grotesque, mutated form. Once this creature is injured, the SA-X reverts to a blue Core-X, but escapes before Samus can | As Samus returns to the Main Deck, an SA-X (probably the first SA-X) challenges her to a final match.

Even with these weapons, Samus at first only manages to damage the SA-X to the point where it transforms to a grotesque, mutated form. Once this creature is injured, the SA-X reverts to a blue Core-X, but escapes before Samus can absorb it. This Core-X is later absorbed by Samus after an [[Omega Metroid]] devastates its armor. By absorbing the SA-X, Samus regained her abilities and upgrades at her peak strength, including her original Varia Suit and the Ice Beam, which she uses to defeat the powerful Omega Metroid. | ||
