As we learned from the events of Metroid Fusion, the X Parasites were the original scourge of SR388 and a threat to the entire galaxy. Yes, that is an X Parasite taking over an alien.

Wrong, because we then cut to a chilling after credits scene. They fly off towards the events of Super Metroid, leaving a pacified SR388 that's now totally not dangerous at all. Samus survives a brutal final battle with her old enemy, with some help from the baby Metroid who just wants to protect its mother. All of this is pretty much how things went in the original.Īs Samus and the baby Metroid reach the surface of SR388, an unexpected foe swoops down on them intent on retreiving the only surviving Metroid. Samus can't bring herself to kill THE BABY THE BABY THE BABY and so she decides to bring it back to her ship and deliver it to the Federation for study. She cuts a destructive path through the population, kills the only breeding Metroid Queen, and then encounters an egg that hatches into a baby Metroid that imprints on Samus and thinks she's its mother. So if you want to play the game and experience these revelations for yourself, this is your LAST CHANCE to turn back now.Īlright, so the story generally follows Metroid II as Samus arrives on SR388, homeworld of the Metroids, on a mission of genocide. Please note that the whole point of this thread is to spoil the fuck out of everything, starting with the final boss. My Metroid is a little rusty, so if anyone has a better interpretation I'll be happy to edit accordingly. I'm going to assemble these materials here along with my own analysis. Some people were lucky enough to get early copies and there are already videos and screenshots of the ending (including bonus scenes from the 100% clear) out on Youtube already. So final embargoes on this game just lifted in Europe.
