Author Topic: Favorite Metroid Game  (Read 1506 times)

 I wouldn't be surprised if alot of ppl chose Super Metroid... 
EDIT for INFO: The Metroid series is a series of games following the bounty hunter Samus Aran. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metroid
Metroid: The very first Metroid game. 2D platform game.  Set on the planet Zebes, the story follows Samus Aran.
Quote
The Space Pirates attacked a Galactic Federation vessel, siezing an alien specimen known as Metroid. The Metroids are dangerous floating specimens, capable of latching onto any living thing and draining it's energy. The Space Pirate's plan was to mutate the Metroids and to use them as weapons. The Federation attacks the planet Zebes, but the Pirates resist, forcing the Federation to retreat. As a last resort, the Galactic Federation sends a lone Bounty Hunter to penetrate the Pirate's base and destroy Mother Brain, a mechanical lifeform designed to control everything in the base.
Metroid II: The Return of Samus
Quote
In the previous Metroid, Samus Aran destroyed the Pirate's operation on the planet Zebes. But to ensure that the Space Pirates never get any more Metroids, they send Samus to destroy the Metroid's home planet: SR388. As she continues, she notices that several of the Metroids have been mutated; going from the small jellyfish-like creatures to huge lizards. Towards the end, Samus must destroy the Metroid Queen.
 Along the way, she discovers a lone Metroid egg that hatches in front of her. Samus being the first thing it saw, it considered her it's mother. Samus spares it, remembering her childhood incident on the earth colony K2-L.
Super Metroid
Quote
Super Metroid takes place immediately after the events in Metroid II. Samus describes her incident on the Metroid's home planet, SR388, in an opening narrative. She brought the larva to the Ceres Space Colony, where scientists learned that they were capable of harnessing it's powers.
 Just as Samus leaves the colony, she recieves a distress call from the research base and returns immediately. There she finds the base destroyed and the larva stolen. The mission begins as she sets off in pursuit of the Space Pirate's leader, Ridely.
 Along the way, Samus defeats several of the Pirate's leader, leading to a place known as Tourain. There she encounters the Metroid larva, where it has grown to an enormous size. The Metroid larva attacks Samus and nearly kills her until it realizes who she is and departs her.
 Samus restores her energy and confronts Mother Brain yet again. Mother Brain brings Samus to a near-death situation yet again until the baby Metroid attacks Mother Brain. Mother Brain kills it in retaliation, but is in turn destroyed be Samus with a very powerful weapon given to her by the baby Metroid.
Metroid Fusion
Quote
Samus continues to explore the surface of the planet SR388 with a crew from the Biologic Space Laboratories. She encounters an X, a parasite capable of infecting it's host and copying them.
 Taking nothing of the attack, Samus leaves in her ship. Shortly afterwards, however, Samus falls unconscious and nearly crashes into an asteroid. She is recovered by the BSL crew, where they give her a 1% chance of survival. They remove parts of her powersuit for research, though. Thankfully, they create a vaccine using DNA from the baby Metroid.
 However, the pieces of Samus' suit that were removed from her contained the X parasite and begin to mutate, creating the Samus Aran-X. The SA-X kills all of the researchers and Samus, in her weakened state, must run from it.
 Samus was weakened from the Metroid DNA, recieving a weakness to cold. Her new suit, known as the Fusion Suit, is also weak. Samus must recover her powerups as she explores the BSL ship, while running from the SA-X.
Metroid Prime
Quote
The game begins when Samus recieves a distress call from the Space Pirate's Frigate Orpheon, who's crew has been slaughtered by their own mutated kind. Upon arriving at the core, Samus is faced with the Parasite Queen and must defeat it. Having being defeated, the Queen falls into the reactor core of the ship and Samus must escape it. While escaping, an electrical charge hits Samus, destroying all of her upgrades for her suit. She encounters Meta Ridley, who flies to the planet known as Tallon IV, and Samus gives chase.
 Samus lands on a place known as the Tallon Overworld and quickly discovers the Chozo Ruins, the remains of a Chozo colony destroyed by a meteor containing a corruptible substance known as Phazon. Samus also discovers a Chozo temple that is sealing off the impact crater, where the Space Pirates are trying to get to.
 Samus reaches the Magmoor Caverns and explores them before continuing to Phenendra. She recieves the Gravity Suit here and must then fight the Omega Pirate. Upon defeat, it collapses onto Samus, giving her the Phazon Suit.
 Samus recovers the 12 keys required to open the Chozo temple, but is attacked by Meta Ridely. She defeats him with some help from the temple's defense system. The Chozo Artifacts and the Phazon Suit allows Samus to access the Impact Crater, where she discovers a Phazon-mutated beast known as Metroid Prime. After Samus defeats it, all of the Phazon on Tallon IV dissappears an the Metroid Prime steals Samus' Phazon Suit in a last effort to survive, reverting Samus back into her Gravity Suit. As Samus runs from the collapsing temple, the Metroid Prime becomes the Phazon being known as Dark Samus.

 I'll post more later, this took a long time to type ._.

 Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes
Quote
Echoes takes place on a planet known as Aether, inhabited by a race called Luminoth. The Luminoth are peaceful, protecting the planet's energy source known as the Light of Aether. Five decades before the game's setting, a huge meteor hit the planet's surface, slowly splitting it into two realities: Dark Aether and Aether. Dark Aether becomes home to the Ing, a cruel, dark race who intend to destroy the Luminoth and take over the planet's energy. Eventually, the Ing and Luminoth engage in war over the Light of Aether.
 The Space Pirates have set up a base after detecting a Phazon source. A Galactic Federation ship encounters the Space Pirate's ship leaving the planet and fights it. Both of the ships suffer heavy damage, and the Galactic Federation lose contact with the marines and send Samus Aran to investigate it.
 Samus learns that a severe lighting storm struck the planet, creating electromagnetic interferences all over. Samus finds the marines dead, surrounded by a species known as Splinters. The dead marines suddenly rise and attack her, and Samus must fight them off. Samus then notices her copy, Dark Samus, who is going through a portal. Samus decides to follow her into Dark Aether. Samus is then attacked by the Ing, who steal a vital part of her suit, which operates most of weapons.
 When Samus returns to Aether to look for clues leading to the marine's death, Samus encounters U-Mos, the last remaining sentry of the Luminoth. He tells Samus about the events creating Dark Aether, and gives her the task of restoring order. He also tells her that the Ing have stolen the Light of Aether and begs her to retrieve it.
 Samus travels to three regions to retrieve the Light of Aether and bring it back to the Luminoth Temples. Samus must fight the Space Pirates, Dark Samus, and monstrous versions of the Ing on her mission.
 Samus must travel to the Ing's Sky Temple to fight the Emperor Ing, the strongest of all the Ing. Samus defeats him and collects the last piece of the Light of Aether as Dark Aether begins to collapse; her path out of the temple is blocked by a monstrously mutated Dark Samus, however, and Samus must yet again defeat her. Dark Samus dissapates as Samus escapes Dark Aether to return the Light of Aether to U-Mos, where she learned that the Luminoth that were frozen has been awakened. After a brief celebration, Samus departs Aether in her gunship. If you got 100% of all powerups, however... A post-credits scene would reveal Dark Samus reforming in deep space...
Metroid Prime Pinball
Quote
Metroid Prime Pinball is a reenactment of the first 2 Primes, but in pinball form. The ball is Samus in Morph-ball form, and you must travel through Prime 1 and 2 to complete the game. It is complete with all the pinball additions: flippers, bumpers, ect...
 The player must aquire all 12 artifacts to gain access to a table known as "Artifact Temple", where 6 balls are placed on the table at once. To pass this level, the player must launch all 6 balls into 12 targets while being attacked by Meta Ridely.
Metroid Prime Hunters
Quote
In the Metroid Prime series, Hunters takes place after Prime 1 and before Prime 2. At the beginning of the game, the Galactic Federation recieves a telepathic message about "the Ultimate Power" that resides in the Alimbic Solar System. The Federation broadcasts a message to Samus Aran, asking her to investigate and retrieve this power. 6 other hunters intercept this transmission and go the Alimbic Cluster to claim this power for themselves.
 Samus discovers that the Alimbic were a peaceful race until a Leviathan struck their utopia and a monstrous creature known as Gorea emerged from it. Unable to stop her, the last of the Alimbic confined Gorea in a Seal Sphere and placed it onboard the Oubliette. The ship was launched into the Infinity Void, only releasable when 8 keys were assembled.
 After warding off all the other bounty hunters, Samus recovered the 8 keys needed and opens the Infinity Void. Here, she and the other hunters battle Gorea. After the beast absorbs the energy from the other 6 hunters, Samus must defeat Gorea using the Alimbic weapon known as the Omega Cannon.
 Upon defeating Gorea, each of the hunters escape on their own respective ship.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Quote
The game begins with a meeting with Admiral Dane and 3 other hunters: Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda. They are each given the task to remove a virus from programs known as Aurora Units. The meeting ends abruptly when the GF ship is attacked by Space Pirates.
 Samus and the other hunters are deployed to a naval base on the planet Norion. While supressing a Space Pirates attack, Samus learns that a Phazon-carrying meteor known as a Leviathan is going to impact the planet and must prevent it by activating a space cannon. She and the other hunters must first activate the 3 generators powering the cannon.
 Right before the 4 hunters can activate the cannon, Dark Samus appears and attacks all of them with a massive Phazon blast in an attempt to stop them. Ghor, Rundas, and Gandrayda are all rendered unconscious, and Samus must activate the cannon on her own.
 Samus awakes 1 month later at a GF base, where she has been given a PED to use the Phazon being generated within her. She is told that the other 3 hunters were also given a PED. The Phazon Enhancement Device is capable of using Phazon in Hypermode as a weapon.
 All of the hunters were sent to investigate the Leviathan Seeds that has embedded themselves in several planets. After destroying the one on Bryyo, Samus travels to Skytown on Elysia to investigate the wherabouts of her fellow bounty hunters an to cure the Phazon corruption within the planet's Aurora Unit.
 Eventually, Samus' mission leads her to the Pirate's homeworld, as she slowly becomes more and more Phazon-corrupted. After the Galactic Federation locates the source of the Leviathans, the fleet then warps to a planet known as Phaaze: the source of all the Phazon in the galaxy.
 As soon as Samus steps off of her ship onto the surface of Phaaze, she is instantly overwhelmed by the Phazon power. She then must override her suit by "Venting the Phazon", where she is stuck in Hypermode, and a bar appears in the place of the health bar. This bar will slowly fill up, and it it becomes full, Samus dies, supposedly creating another Dark Samus.
 Samus eventually makes it to the core of Phaaze, where she must battle Dark Samus yet again. After defeating her Phazon clone, however, it merges with the Aurora Unit 313. The AU 313 was stolen from the GFS Valhalla by the Space Pirates and was then corrupted by Phazon.
 Upon defeating the AU 313, all of the Phazon in the galaxy is rendered inert and Samus must escape the planet Phaaze. If 100% of all powerups are collected, Samus is seen warping into space with a mysterious ship following her.

 I'll type in the rest later, hands are cramping...

 Metroid: Zero Mission

Zero Mission is a reimagining of the first Metroid game.

Srry 4 double post, just realized that the games aren't in the order of the story.

 Metroid: Zero Mission
Quote
Space Pirates attack a Galactic Federation-owned space research vessel and seize samples of Metroid creatures. Dangerous floating organisms, Metroids can latch on to any organism and drain its life energy to kill it. The Space Pirates plan to replicate Metroids by exposing them to beta rays and then using them as biological weapons to destroy all living beings that oppose them. While searching for the stolen Metroids, the Galactic Federation locates the Space Pirates' base of operations on the planet Zebes. The Federation assaults the planet, but the Pirates resist, forcing the Federation to retreat. As a last resort, the Federation decides to send a lone bounty hunter to penetrate the Pirates' base and destroy Mother Brain, the mechanical life-form that controls the Space Pirates' fortress and its defenses. Considered the greatest of all bounty hunters, Samus Aran is chosen for the mission. Samus lands on the surface of Zebes and explores the planet, traveling through the planet's caverns. She eventually comes across Kraid, an ally of the Space Pirates, and Ridley, the Space Pirates' commander, and defeats them both. Along the way, Samus finds and destroys Mother Brain. However, while Samus leaves the planet in her gunship, it is attacked by Space Pirates, causing it to crash back on to Zebes, near the Space Pirate Mothership. Exploring the Mothership, Samus eventually reaches the Ridley Robot, a mechanized form of Ridley. After defeating it, Samus escapes the planet using one of the Space Pirate's shuttles, while the Mothership self-destructs.
(lol I got lazy and ctrl v'd it :3)
Metroid: Other M
Quote
Other M opens with a cinematic showing the final battle with Mother Brain at the conclusion of Super Metroid. After escaping the exploding Planet Zebes, Samus Aran awakens on a Galactic Federation ship. After leaving, she receives a distress signal, commonly coded as "Baby's Cry," from a dormant "Bottle Ship", which is floating a short distance away from a Federation vessel. Upon stepping into the ship, Samus encounters a group of GF soldiers, known as the Galactic Federation 07th Platoon, led by Anthony Higgs, who fought alongside her before she left the GF military. She also meets Adam Malkovich, who used to be her commanding officer when she was in the Federation Army. Adam treats her very coldly due to the circumstances of her departure from the army, calling Samus an "outsider" and ordering his team not to reveal any details of their mission to her. However, he accepts her after she defeats a large, purple tentacle-monster and from then on starts authorizing different items for Samus to use, on the condition of her completely obeying his orders. Adam also assigns the 07th Platoon to go on solo searches to investigate the Bottle Ship.[12]

As the plot progresses, Samus and the platoon find out that the director of the ship, Madeline Bergman, was conducting research on illegal bioweapons for the Federation. Eventually, Samus finds a survivor who claims to be Madeline hiding from her family, and Samus tries to convince her that she is here to rescue her. The Federation soldiers are mysteriously killed by a secret assassin among their ranks, who Samus calls "the Deleter," and whose identity is never explicitly revealed in the game. Later, Samus encounters Ridley, but Anthony Higgs saves her and Ridley seemingly kills Anthony by knocking him off a ledge. Samus then journeys to Sector Zero, where Adam has decided to detach and destroy the sector along with himself. After defeating Queen Metroid, Samus finds the real Madeline Bergman, who tells Samus the truth about the android she found earlier, named MB. MB was an artificial intelligence based on Mother Brain, who took on a human shape to build an ideal relationship with the Metroids, similar to the one Samus had with the Metroid baby. After developing emotions, MB revolted and developed a personality similar to Mother Brain, telepathically ordering the cloned Zebesian life forms on the ship to attack. When their conversation is over, MB shows up. Just as she attacks Samus and Madeline, Galactic Federation reinforcements arrive and kill MB. The colonel then approaches Samus and states that since the rest of the platoon members are dead, she is not allowed contact with Madeline. He orders one of the soldiers to escort her back to her gunship, but is then revealed to be Anthony Higgs, stating that his orders, under the chairman of the Galactic Federation, are to ensure the safety of any survivors. Samus, Anthony, and Madeline all leave on Samus' gunship.

Days after the incident, the Galactic Federation has decided to destroy the Bottle Ship by utilizing its self-destruct mechanism. Before that happens, Samus flies back to recover "something irreplaceable." Arriving at the Bottle Ship's Navigation Room, Samus engages a resurrected Phantoon in battle. With Phantoon defeated, Samus arrives at the control center where Adam had set up a command center and finds his platoon helmet. Afterward, the Bottle Ship's self-destruct sequence is remotely activated and Samus clutches the helmet as she escapes from the Bottle Ship in her Zero Suit, before it is utterly destroyed.

Metroid Prime: Trilogy
Quote
Trilogy is a collector's version of the Prime series, using the New Play Control! system with the Wii remote and nunchuk. Trilogy combines all of the Prime games into one version, with a few edits to fit it all together.

 Hope it all helped :D


I've played all the games too many damn times (Except Other M, I've only played and beaten it once).


Trilogy and Super are the best.

I once had a week of completing every metroid game in release order

But I replaced metroid with zero mission and skipped fusion and hunters

Super and Fusion are my favorites
In fact I'm replaying Fusion right now and I'm about to fight the nightmare :<

I'm still stuck on sa-x since I bought it :c

I'm still stuck on sa-x since I bought it :c
The SA-X is an idiot, you know? That makes Fusion even more fun, watching the SA-X being an idiot :D

 I like the Prime series mostly because Darkie's such an awesome boss.

Why is it that most of my topics stop after 13 posts...? Odd. ._.
