Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNintendo gave the development of Metroid Prime to the U.S. based Retro Studios in part due to the fact that the Metroid series, while being incredibly popular in the United States, has never sold as well in Japan.
- GoofsThe Sheegoth is supposed to be invulnerable to energy weapons, yet the bombs can hurt it.
- Quotes
Narrator: The cosmos. In the vast universe, the history of humanity is but a flash of light from a lone star. The light of a single person should be lost in space and time. But among the stars, there is one light that burns brighter than all others: the light of Samus Aran. Her battles extend beyond her life and etch themselves into history. Here, another chapter of that history will be written.
- Crazy creditsThe amount of ending footage you see depends upon how many items you have obtained in your journey. You see the fewest amount of scenes if you have 70% or less, more scenes if you have between 70% and 100%, and the most if you got all 100%.
- Alternate versionsThe original North-American release of the game had some bugs and glitches that allowed for sequence-breaking, as well as entering rooms outside the playable area. Due to faster loading, the game would sometimes freeze when traveling to other areas. It also contained some in-game Pirate Data that suggested that the Space Pirates had found and captured the Metroid Prime. During their investigations, the creature started too mutate, and it later briefly escaped, absorbing a lot of Phazon and Pirates weapons which triggered further mutations (this introduces inconsistencies since the Metroid Prime is apparently obtained from or returned to the Impact Crater, which the Pirates state is impenetrable).
- ConnectionsFeatured in Icons: Miyamoto (2002)
There's that mysterious music as the camera looks into the depths of space, pulls back, and reveals... a creepy space station sitting above Tallon IV. This vessel appears to be a space pirate frigate, and the Space Pirates have invaded Tallon IV mining Phazon and trying to collect artifacts.
Metroid Prime is a complex action/adventure game that weaves dark webs with story lines containing the dead Chozo race, the powerful Space Pirates, the mysterious element Phazon, and a beast only known as 'The Worm'. You are Samus aran, and you must find out how all these connect AND bring order to it! This is the best game to date. It contains a lot of action without being annoying. The graphics are stunning, and the boos fights are worth the wait. Metroid Prime takes you from the fiery tunnels of the Magmoor Caverns, to the beautiful snow land of Phendrana Drifts, to the rainy forest of the Tallon Overworld, to the barren shrine of the Chozo Ruins, and to the powerful mining base built by Space Pirates called 'Phazon Mines'. Prepare to have your mind blown, cause this game rocks! Evil waits below the surface. But first it must be found.
