Super Metroid

Super Metroid was the third installment in the Metroid franchise and was released on March 19, 1994 for the SNES. The game follows bounty huntress Samus Aran as she travels to Planet Zebes to battle the Space Pirates. The game takes place immediately after the events of Metroid II: Return of Samus. Samus delivers the last infant Metroid to the scientists at Ceres Colony, where they discover that the Metroid’s abilities to drain life energy may be able to be harnessed beneficially.

Soon after leaving the station to seek a new bounty, Samus receives a distress signal. The station is under attack by Space Pirates. Samus finds the dismembered crew, and the last Metroid is in the hands of one of her greatest adversaries, Ridley the space dragon. After a brief battle, Ridley flees and activates the self-destruct sequence. After escaping the exploding space station, Samus makes here way to Zebes, where she will fight the Space Pirates, collect Chozo items, and attempt to re-acquire the Metroid.
