I've always wondered this.

How on earth does samus roll up into a tiny tiny ball? Either she is the most flexible thing on the planet or it has to do something with the suit, what exactly is it? Oh, also, it you read the pirate log, the pirates tried creating pirates that could roll up into a tiny ball like samus, each and everyone of them died trying it, it was hilarious when i read it! LOL.

Not only that, but what does samus use as an energy source, and where does she keep it? You know she can hold a maximum of 250 missiles in the game, where does she keep them? I can't find the missile rack. Can someone answer all these questions, cuz i cant. LOL.

Also, in Chozo ruins by the save point near Hive Mecha (the boss that shot bees at you, and your reward was the missile launcher). There is a mirror there, and if you get close enough, you can see your reflection, and if you look in the mirror and jump, you can see Samus jump, the reflection made her look cheezy instead of cool looking. It was kinda weird. I also noticed, if you hit an enemy with the power beam and it bounces off of them and hits you (which is hard to do, but ive done it), it hurts you.

The morph ball works because of Chozo magic! No, really...

As for Samus' missles...I wonder more where Mario keeps his fireballs and where Link stashes all his gear...Like how can he walk normally if he takes off his iron boots? He still has them on him!

I think the morph ball is not so tiny. Or if you want it the other way - Samus is smaller than the impression given by the first person view. You can confirm that by watching closely as morphing happens - the camera gets away and you can see her from a 3rd person view. Try comparing her height to something nearby, i.e. a door.

Mmmmm, interesting point. Ok, what exactly is the screw attack? Cuz it wasn't in metroid prime (sadly). The pirate log gives clues that the chozo didn't raise her, but metroids (good ones, not evil ones that suck your face off)! I thought this was interesting. They also call her the newborn or hatchling which gives the suspicision, that Samus isn't quite human. Hmmmmmm? The questions this game raises.

One more thing, the phazon suit is the best suit in the game, but if you read your log book (if you filled it up enough), it tells you it corroded her power suit, and it suggests that if she wears it to long, it will take over her. Also pretty interesting.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #81 on:** October 24, 2003, 10:59:04 PM »

Didn't it say in Super Metroid that she had Chozo blood in her?

Doesn't Samus have chozo blood in her?

----End quote----

That's possible, yet in prime it sort of suggests she is raised by metroids, and found by the chozo with the metroid dead, so they continued to raise her yet they called her the newborn or hatchling. I still think she has metroid blood in her, why? Because number 1 the use the word metroid in the name of the game, and 2 metroids love to hunt, and so does Samus, metroids live on energy and try to find more, Samus lives on energy, without it she would die and she tries to find more energy tanks. That's why she seems more of a metroid then a chozo.

I think you're theory is severely flawed. Kids with their imagination these days.

Ummmm.... No its not, all you have to do is read the pirate logs.

PIAC · « **Reply #87 on:** October 27, 2003, 07:52:44 AM »

the screw attack is in super metroid, metroid fusion and probably metroid 1 and 2 (i haven't played them) when you spin jump (like todo a wall jump) samus goes kinda electricy and it can damage other people, couple that with the space jump and your allll set, she uses it as a move in ssb and ssb:m

Woah! What were you smoking when you imagined that? Raised by Metroids? Good grief. No where in any game does it say anything like that.

The Metroid Prime manual says that the Space Pirates attacked planet K-2L which is where Samus was living. The Space Pirates killed her parents and then the Chozo found her and raised her as their own. She was never raised by Metroids.

It also says, "Trained as a warrior and infused with Chozo blood, Samus Aran donned a Chozo made Power Suit and cut a swath through the Space Pirates' operation".

Read your instructions manuals people! Hell, with the Metroid series just reading the manuals can make you an expert of the games.

I want super speed in the next one. I loved running through those long corridors, running into everything completely.....INVINCIBLE HAHAHHA

No really, that would be awesome. Also, do you think there are going to be many new gun upgrades. I mean they threw out some old ones to make way for a new one. I'd like to see the return of combining beams (i.e. wave and ice). Also I always wanted a sniping mode on a gun or at least a visor that can zoom in and out. Is that too much? I mean why wouldn't samus be able to zoom in and out (scan mode blew). Couple that with a super accurate rail gun that is only effective at peircing the neck of a space pirate (to keep it from being cheap). Also it would be cool if samus can project a hologram in a 50 yard radius, for such diversions tactics to help you figure out how to kill the boss, with out taking the heat.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #90 on:** October 27, 2003, 04:02:02 PM »

No, Samus has no relation to Metroids, aside from the fact that she kills them. Gibdo master is correct, and believe me, I did my homework.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #91 on:** October 27, 2003, 04:39:32 PM »

I would like to see friendly Metroids...I mean, they can't be all bad...*points at Super Metroid*

PIAC · « **Reply #92 on:** October 27, 2003, 08:31:47 PM »

that one is awsome

take THAT mother brain! perhaps some carazy fundimentalist good guys that got attacked or something by the space pirates started to experiment on metroid/metroid DNA to form their own evil army of demonic shower caps (aka metroids ;P) every game needs some good crazy fundimentalists, oh yeah (meta)kraid needs to make a return

ExtremeGcube · « **Reply #93 on:** October 27, 2003, 11:29:12 PM »

I dont think the metroids are amoral neither good nor bad. They just exist. They need energy to survive and they evolved a way of capturing that energy from other living things. The metroid in super metroid only attacked mother brain because it thought samus was its mother. The metroid was still fairly young because she didnt get far before she had the distress signal, the metroid was huge because of testing done by the space pirates. This is why it attaced samus earlier in the level. The space pirates put the metroids to an evil use. Its like some technologies, technology is amoral but people will us it for good and evil purposes.

PIAC · « **Reply #94 on:** October 28, 2003, 12:23:31 AM »

yeah, metroids are just creatures like anything else that exists in the game, they are preditatory ofcourse, but thats how they survive, damn those space pirates for corupting nature, i still want some crazy fundamentalists to bio-engineer their own army of metroids that samus can ocasionally use for her own means, like that part in the phazon mines where you open the force field keeping the metroids contained and they attack the space pirates guarding the area, that made me laugh, demonic showercaps to the rescue!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #95 on:** October 28, 2003, 01:36:48 AM »

What I think would be neat is if in a future game you found some type of metroid pheromone, which could be used to befriend them...Sort of like with the pheromone balls in the Half-life 2 demo...

Swordsplay · « **Reply #96 on:** October 28, 2003, 04:05:28 AM »

The metroids were friendly in fusion (towards the end of the game), and if you read the story in the instruction manual, one was nice and saved samus, maybe it was that mother brain one, but if i can remember, it was a different one.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #97 on:** October 28, 2003, 04:21:52 AM »

Don't have Fusion, so I couldn't confirm that

(no money! grrr..)

But I know for a fact that the metroid that saved Samus was the one from Super Metroid...

Swordsplay · « **Reply #98 on:** October 28, 2003, 04:44:57 AM »

Anyone know who exactly the misterious Adam is supposed to be in fusion?

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #99 on:** October 28, 2003, 09:43:41 AM »

Okay since some people don't know the story of Metroid I'll lay it out.

Metroid:

Basically what happens is that the planet SR388 has recently been discovered and the Galactic Federation is doing research there. They have discovered a new life form that they dub Metroid. They were about ready to leave the planet and take the Metroid to Earth so it could be studied. However they are attacked by the Space Pirates who steal the Metroid. They find out what the Metroids are capable of and take it to their secret base planet Zebes where they plan to multiply the Metroid and use it as a weapon. The Galactic Federation makes several attempts to retrieve the Metroid from Zebes but they fail. They decide to hire the most famous bounty hunter Samus Aran. She is able to penetrate Zebes and kill all the Metroids there (or so she thinks). After she defeats the leader of the Space Pirates the Mother Brain a time bomb is set and she escapes to the surface of the planet just in time before Tourian is destroyed. For clarification only the Mother Brain's secret lair Tourian was destroyed.

Metroid Prime:

I won't go in to this since I assume most people here have played it.

Metroid II: The Return of Samus:

The Galactic Federation decides to go to the planet of SR388 and wipe out the Metroid population because of the threat they pose. They make several attempts but all fail. Once again they turn to Samus to get the job done. She kills all the Metroids on the planet including the Queen Metroid. Just outside of the Queen Metroid's nest Samus discovers an unhatched Metroid egg. She's about to destroy it when it hatches. The Metroid Hatchling mistakes Samus for its mother and Samus can't destroy it because she takes pity on the thing. Instead she packs it up and takes it to the research station Ceres.

Super Metroid:

After taking a break on the research station Ceres, Samus decides everything is okay and leaves. She barely gets out of the docking bay when she receives a message that the space station is under attack. She returns to discover that Ridley is in the middle of stealing the Hatchling. He escapes and Samus must flee as the space station is baddly damaged and is ready to explode. She follows Ridley to Zebes where she begins her search to find the Metroid Hatchling. Toward the end of the game as she begins venturing into the Mother Brains new Tourian she is attacked by the Metroid Hatchling which has grown to be quite large. It sucks almost all of Samus's energy before it recognizes who she is at which point it quickly leaves. When Samus is battling the Mother Brain she discovers that the Mother Brain is nearly invulnerable. Just as the Mother Brain is about to finish Samus the Metroid Hatchling swoops in sucking the Mother Brain's energy away and then giving it to Samus. However even though appearing dead the Mother Brain quickly regenerates and attacks the Metroid Hatchling killing it. As the Hatchling dies it falls on Samus giving her the Hyper Beam. With the Hyper Beam Samus is able to make quick work of the Mother Brain. After Samus has destroyed the Mother Brain a time bomb is set and Samus must escape as the entire planet is about to be destroyed.

Metroid Fusion:

Basically due to Samus destroying all the Metroids on SR388 the X parasite has been able to multiply and thrive taking over the planet. You see it is discovered that the Chozo created the Metroids to combat the terrifying mimicking X parasite. The Galactic Federation is collecting life forms from SR388 for its research station orbiting the planet. They ask Samus to acompany the research team since she has had experience with the planet before. While on SR388 she is infected with the X Parasite. She nearly dies due to this but it is discovered that by splicing Samus's DNA with that of the Metroid Hatchling she will become immune to the X parasite and will even be able to absorb them and use them for energy. Apparently unknown to Samus they had taken a sample of the Metroid Hatchlings DNA and sent it to the Galactic Federation before Ridley attacked Ceres. Anyway in the process of saving Samus much of her Power Suit had to be removed leaving her with the Fusion Suit. Anyway the X Parasite has managed to infect the space station orbiting SR388. She goes there to find out what is going on and eradicate the X Parasite. While there she discovers that the Galactic Federation has been secretly cloning Metroids using the Metroid Hatchling's DNA. Samus has a final show down with a full grown Omega Metroid when the SA-X jumps in to defeat its natural enemy. However the Omega Metroid proves to much for the SA-X and Samus manages to capture its Core-X giving her the ability to shoot the Ice Beam. With the Ice Beam Samus destroys the Omega Metroid and flees the space station as it crashes into the planet SR388 completely destroying it and apparently SR388 as well.
