Traveling at will through space, they built many marvels across the universetechnological wonders of unfathomable complexity and cities unmatched in beauty. They shared their knowledge freely with more primitive cultures and learned to respect and care for life in all its forms. Even as their society reached its technological peak, however, the Chozo felt their spirituality wane. Their culture was steeped in prophecy and lore, and they foresaw the decline of the Chozo coinciding with the rise of evil. Horrified by the increasing violence in the universe, they began to withdraw into themselves, forgoing technology in favor of simplicity. Tallon IV was one of several refuges they builta colony bereft of technology, built of natural materials and wedded to the land and its creatures. The years passed, and in time a great meteor crashed into Tallon IV, sending a massive spume of matter into the atmosphere and impregnating the land with a cancerous element known as Phazon. This element immediately sank into the earth and water, poisoning life wherever it bloomed. Most plants and animals died, while others mutated into hideous forms. The Chozo called upon all of their knowledge and technology to control the power of the Phazon, but their efforts were doomed to fail. All they could do was build a temple over the crater at the impact site, separate the Phazon core, and seal it away. Believing that someday a savior would return to the planet, the Chozo left for an unknown destination, leaving behind nothing but engraved accounts of their time on Tallon IV.

THE space Pira tes

The Space Pirates were interstellar nomads, technologically dvanced in both space travel and weaponry. When they plundered the Metroid population that had been discovered by the Galactic Federation n SR388, they recognized in them massive military and energy resource otential. They immediately invaded the nearby planet of Zebes, wiping ut all life (including most of the indigenous Chozo) and building a masve network of research facilities below the planet's surface. Deep below the surface of Zebes, the Space Pirates researched Metroids for many years, even as a young girl orphaned by their raid on he neighboring planet K-2L was growing up among the Chozo. Trained s a warrior and infused with Chozo blood, Samus Aran donned a Chozomade Power Suit and cut a swath through the Space Pirates operation, estroying everything in her path, including the gargantuan mainstays of he Space Pirate army, Ridley and Kraid. She eventually made it to the ore of their base, destroyed ll the Metroids she saw, nd seemingly blew up he Mother Brain. But the Space Pirates were far from finished. They immediately split their survivors into two main camps. One headed to Zebes to begin rebuilding their ravaged facility and resuscitating Mother Brain, Ridley, and Kraid. The second set out in search of a planet with powerful energy resources. They didn't search far before they discovered Tallon IV, which was still emanating huge pulses of energy from the Phazon contained beneath the Chozo temple. Entranced by the massive potential of the strange mutagen, they immediately moved in, retrofitting their laboratories, transporters, and life-support systems into the Chozo Ruins. As the Space Pirates mined the Phazon and experimented with it, they found that its capacity to mutate was unlike anything they'd ever seen, and they promptly started combining it with indigenous life-forms. They refined their operation; powering their machinery with thermalpowered engines sunk in the molten depths of Tallon IV, they drove deep mineshafts and mined more and more Phazon, shipping it to their two main labs in the Phendrana Drifts, where sub-zero temperatures made specimen containment safer. Research leaped forward: by harnessing Phazon's power, they were able to create untold horrors that soon patrolled the dark caverns below Tallon IV's crust. The Space Pirates also transported many species to their orbiting ship for zero-G Phazon experiments, unaware that Samus Aran had finally tracked their ship to its low orbit. As they continued with their unnatural experiments, Samus sped toward Tallon IV, preparing to wipe them out once and for all.

POWER SUIT INTERFACE

amus's Power Suit is technologically complex, but all of its agnostic functions are projected on the inside of the visor for asy access. Knowing the status of the suit at all times may make he difference between survival and failure, so its important to nderstand every part of the readout.
This area shows a small section of the current map. If you press the Z Button, you'll call up the full-screen map (see page 24).
The wedge at the top of the circular radar display is Samus's field of vision. Enemies within the radar's range appear as orange dots.

Energy Reserves

The numeric display and horizontal gauge track the amount of energy in Samus's Energy Tank. The highlighted squares above the main energy gauge indicate Energy Tanks that Samus has in reserve.

T argeting reticule

This reticule will automatically track enemies or scan points. By pressing the L Button, you will lock onto whatever point is currently highlighted. Bear in mind that the reticule will change in appearance depending on which visor Samus is currently using (see page 18).

Threa t assessment

This gauge warns Samus of nearby environmental dangers. It rises in accordance with the proximity of the threatwhen the threat is extremely near, the word "Warning" will appear. If Samus is actually being injured by the hazard, the word "Damage" will appear.

Missile Reserves

The vertical gauge and numeric display track the number of Missiles Samus has in reserve. When Samus's Missiles are armed, this display glows more brightly.

Visors

The symbols here correspond to Samus's different visors. Each one is mapped to a direction on the + Control Padsimply press the + Control Pad in the appropriate direction to select that visor (see page 18).

Beam Weapons

The symbols here represent Samus's different beam weapons. Each one corresponds to a direction on the C Stick press the C Stick in the appropriate direction to select that weapon (see page 17).

Armor & Armaments

s Samus delves deeper into the Space Pirates' operation, she'll find ower-ups that improve both her arsenal and her suit. Every power-up she nds will help her access something new in the vast regions of Tallon IV, so emember areas where she can't progress and return once she's gained ew abilities. Pay special attention to the colors of closed doors, as they hould help you determine what weapons you need to use to open them.

power Beam

This is Samus's standard beam, which you can fire continuously by rapidly tapping the A Button. As with all beam weapons, the Power Beam becomes much stronger once Samus finds the Charge Beam power-up. Once Samus has found the Charge Beam, press and hold the A Button to charge up her shot, then release the A Button to fire a powerful blast.

Power Beam

power suit
amus's standard Power Suit was built pecifically for her by the Chozo people. It s integrated with her body, acting as a sort f second skinnot only does it provide hielding in battle and augmented physical trength, but its life-support systems allow er to survive in water and even space without additional equipment.

W ve Beam a

The Wave Beam fires three oscillating waves of energy. As with the other beam weapons, the Wave Beam is especially effective against certain enemies and can be powered up once Samus finds the Charge Beam. The Wave Beam also features a limited homing effect.

Power Suit Wave Beam

V aria suit
nce Samus finds the Varia Suit, she will be ble to survive extremely high temperatures ke those found in the fiery depths of Magmoor Caverns.

Ice Beam

The Ice Beam has a slower rate of fire than the Power Beam, but it makes up for this flaw with its ability to immobilize enemies briefly with a layer of ice. Some enemies are particularly vulnerable to this weapon, so experiment with it. The Ice Beam may destroy weak enemies rather than freezing them.

Varia Suit Ice Beam

Gra vity suit
he Gravity Suit upgrades Samus's suit even more. It negates the effects of water, allowing Samus to move and jump normally even while ubmerged.

Plasma beam

The most powerful beam weapon in Samus's arsenal, the short-range Plasma Beam launches streams of molten energy that can ignite some enemies and melt ice. Like all beam weapons, the Plasma Beam can combine with Missiles for a high-powered combo attack once Samus finds its combo power-up (see page 22).

Gravity Suit Plasma Beam

Behind the Visors
amus's most important tool is her suit, and it can provide her with a ealth of information by interfacing with various visors. Samus will start he game with twothe standard Combat Visor and the Scan Visorbut ventually she'll use four, each of which can be accessed easily by ressing different directions on the + Control Pad.

thermal Visor

Once Samus finds the Thermal Visor, she can track enemies using their heat signatures. Not only does this visor help locate enemies hidden in dark areas, but it can also be used for acquiring alternate targets on enemies. A thermal scan can often find a hidden weak spot on an otherwise difficult enemy. Not only that, but thermal scans show other clues that the naked eye can't discern; if you run into a dead end, try scanning the entire area with the Thermal Visor equipped.

Comba Visor t

his default visor is standard for battle and provides Samus with all the eneral information she needs (see pages 14-15).

Thermal Visor

Scan Visor
When Samus uses the Scan Visor, a magnifying eticule will appear in the center of her visor. his reticule picks out anything that can be cannedfrom creatures to computer termialsand shows it as an orange or red ymbol. If you press and hold the L Button while locked onto one of these symbols, the can Visor will download information. Once it's one downloading, the visor will display message.

Searching for Clues

x-Ra Visor y
esides using the Scan Visor to solve puzzles, nd enemies' weak spots, and unlock various reas in the game, Samus will also frequently ownload pieces of information that can be ored in her Log Book. These can be accessed y pressing START/PAUSE during game play ee page 25) and include creature morpholoes, Space Pirate logs, Chozo literature, and much more.

After Samus tracks down the X-Ray Visor, she'll be able to peer through walls to find hidden passages and even see invisible objects. This visor also helps track any enemies that use optical camouflage to render themselves invisible to the naked eye. As with the Thermal Visor, the X-Ray Visor can often identify alternate means of attacking foes.

X-Ray Visor

Log Book

Tracking the Invisible

The Morph Ball
s Samus explores, she'll run into many areas that are too small for her o navigate. Once she finds the Morph Ball, however, she'll gain the ower to roll herself up into an armored ball that can fit in small tunnels nd drains. As she finds additional power-ups, she'll expand on the abilies at her disposal while in Morph Ball mode.

The Boost Ball

The Boost Ball accelerates the Morph Ball. Once Samus finds this power-up, press and hold the B Button to build up a speed boost. When you release the B Button, Samus will accelerate in the direction she is rolling. This is especially useful for boosting up the sides of half-pipe areas.

Getting Rolling

When Samus rolls into the Morph Ball, the amera will pull back out of the visor view nd display a third-person perspective. sing the Control Stick, you can roll the Morph Ball in whichever direction you hoose. Bear in mind that gravity will affect he Morph Ballyou'll need to tilt the Control tick farther while rolling up inclines.

Power Bombs

Power Bombs are super-powered bombs that will affect everything within a certain distance of their explosions. Unlike ordinary Bombs, these are limited in number, and Samus will have to replenish them herself by defeating enemies and collecting Power Bomb capsules. Some structures can be destroyed only by Power Bombs.

Boost Ball

Morph Ball Mode

Power Bomb

amus will be vulnerable when she first gets he Morph Ball, but she'll soon find Bombs to rm herself. Samus has an unlimited number f these energy-based explosives, but she can nly drop three at a time. Bombs can be used o destroy weak walls as well as enemies.

Bombing Walls

The spider Ball
Once Samus finds the Spider Ball, she can magnetically attach herself in Morph Ball mode to specific magnetic tracks that run throughout Tallon IV's environments. To activate the magnet, simply press and hold the R Button. The Morph Ball will stay fixed to the track as long as you hold the R Buttontilt the Control Stick to move along the track and release the R Button when you wish to drop off the track. You can propel yourself upward by laying Bombs while attached to a track.

Spider Ball

By positioning the Morph Ball directly over a Bomb, you can propel the Morph Ball up into the air, effectively jumping short distances. Try varying the timing as you drop Bombs to reach even greater heights.

Bomb Jump

Power-ups & power moves
here are many other power-ups strewn across the world of Metroid rime, and all of them will play vital roles in Samus's quest. Scan every oom for possible power-upsvery often, you'll need to solve a puzzle to each a specific power-up. You'll also want to practice some advanced moves that will help you progress through the game.

The Sp ace Jump

The Space Jump upgrade will activate boosters on Samus's suit, enabling her to jump a second time while airborne. Once she's found the upgrade, make Samus jump once by pressing the B Button, then press it a second time while she is in the air to jump a second time and get to previously unreachable areas.

Space Jump

Energy T anks
amus starts her adventure with minimal nergy reserves. For every Energy Tank she racks down, however, her maximum energy eserve will grow by 100 units. The number of ighlighted squares above the energy gauge t the top of Samus's Combat Visor display ndicates how many full tanks she has in eserve.

The Grapple Beam

After she tracks down the Grapple Beam, Samus will be able to latch onto specific energy nodes with an energy beam from her left arm. The icon above a node will brighten when it is in range; simply press and hold the L Button to latch onto it with the Grapple Beam. Tilt the Control Stick to vary your swinging angle, then release the L Button at the top of Samus's swing to launch into the air.

Grapple Node

Missiles & missile combos
nce Samus arms herself with Missiles, fire hem by pressing the Y Button. Keep an eye ut for Missile Expansions; for every one of hese Samus finds, her Missile arsenal will row by five. Missiles will home in on hatever Samus locks on, and they can also e used to blow up hatch locks and destroy pecific types of impediments. To replenish amus's Missiles, collect Missile capsules om fallen enemies and crates.

Grapple Beam

Adv anceD Ba ttle T actics
Samus has a wealth of weapons and moves at her disposal, and you'll have to practice with all of them if you hope to keep her alive. One of the most important battle tactics is using the L Button to lock onto targets. If you press and hold the L Button without targeting anything, you will be able to strafe side-to-side by tilting the Control Stick.

Missile

Super Missile Combo
Every beam weapon can be combined with Missiles to perform a super combo once Samus has found that beam weapon's combo power-up. To use a combo, charge up your beam weapon all the way by pressing and holding the A Button. Then, without releasing the A Button, press the Y Button. Bear in mind that combos drain your Missile reserves. Some obstructions can be destroyed only by specific combo attacks.

Lock-On Orbiting

However, if you press and hold the L Button while targeting an enemy, you will then circle around your lock-on point by tilting the Control Stick. Additionally, you can perform a quick dash move while orbiting a targetsimply tap the B Button while locked-on to leap sideways. Once Samus finds the Space Jump Boots, she can perform a double-dash by tapping the B Button twice. Using these moves will be key to surviving battles with the many enemies Samus will face.
