Entire Metroid summary III (Super Metroid)

Super Metroid- SNES, 1994

After delivering the metroid larvae found on SR388 to the Ceres research station, Samus Aran departs having been told that metroids could used for beneficial reaons, she is immediately called back by an emergency alert. She then finds the station in ruins, and the Metroid larvae missing. Ridley attacks her with the metroid in his claws, after he sees he can't win he, retreats and causes the station to explode. Samus escapes and tracks him back to Zebes. She then begins her search for the last Metroid. You must explore Zebes with three new areas not included in the original metroid: Crateria, the cavernous overworld; Wrecked ship: just what sounds like, a ship wreck with a power shortage; and Maridia: a series of dank water filled caverns. There is also Draygon of Maridia, and Phantoon of the wrecked ship, in addition to Ridley and Kraid; these four monsters are the guards of Tourian. Once you defeat Ridley you find the Metroid's tank broken; you've explored everywhere, so there is but one more place to look: Tourian. You head down there once again and discover that the space Pirates have once again bread the Metroids probably by cloning the larvae that Ridley stole. After a while you find familiar enemies, but they have been sucked dry and turn to dust when you touch them. Then a large enemy approaches... It is attacked by an enormous Metroid! Then attacks you! This "Super Metroid" has more brains than a regular one, and can also attack larger enemies, and is almost impossible to shake loose. Just before sucking Samus dry the Super Metroid suddenly stops, and makes the noises that it did when it was just a larvae in Metroid 2. It flies away, and you use a nearby energy station to recharge, then proceed to Mother Brain. At first, it is exactly the same as the mother brain in the first Metroid. But after you defeat it, a large mechanical body rises from the ground, and mother brain becomes the head. It seems just like normal boss battle, but then the Mother Brain launches an attack that drains much of your energy and stuns you. When you have almost died the Mother Brain charges up the attack again to finish you off. Just before you are destroyed, the Super Metroid attacks Mother Brain and completely drains it. It then pumps energy into you. As it is doing this, Mother Brain awakens again and tries to destroy the metroid. The Metroid won't detach and escape until you are fully recovered. It then tries to attack the Mother Brain, but it is shot and explodes. Samus is given some of its power in the form of the "hyper beam" you use this to destroy mother brain. Once again, you have to escape, but this time the entire planet of Zebes is destroyed. The Pirates plans have been foiled, and there are no more Metroids left.
