- Here's the first complete version of this walkthrough, which contains
all the basic overviews of weapons and items, the game walkthrough itself
and the different endings to be had. Enjoy!

.:---------------------(1.2 THE STORY SO FAR...)------------------------:.

Galactic civilization has reached its peak with peace reigning throughout
star systems, trade lines run non-stop, and the species of the universe
live in harmony with one another. During routine trade ship's schedules,
innocent lives came under fire from a group of alien terrorists calling
themselves the "Space Pirates." Deliberately causing as much devastation
and destruction as they could, the Pirates raided trade ships and left
their occupants stranded in space. The Galactic Federation, an organization
of space law-enforcers, were facing their worst fears ever. Out of control,
the Space Pirates continued to wreck havoc, eventually attacking the
peaceful planet of Zebes and the defenseless Chozo race that dwelt there.

During the attack many Chozos escaped into space, but before long the
Pirates claimed the planet to be their own HQ. As they attacked Zebes, the
Pirates simultaneously attacked a human colony known as K-2L. They
eradicated all life there, as well as the structures within the colony.
Little did they know however, that the only survivor of the attack would be
their greatest threat. Chozo survivors from Zebes reached the colony only
minutes after the Pirates left the smoldering ruins of the colony. Shocked
at the destruction facing them, the Chozos managed to find the colony's
only survivor - a human child hidden under the twisted remains of a
building. Taking the child and raising her under their own tutelage, the
girl - known as Samus Aran, soon grew into a fine warrior worthy of
defending the universe. Infused with the blood of the Chozo to enhance her
combat skills, once Samus had grown into a mature woman, they built her a
highly sophisticated Power Suit to combat evil with.

Meanwhile the Pirates had infested Zebes with their filthy armies and
technology. On a routine mission to the planet SR388, scientists discovered
a new life-form - parasitic creatures with the ability to cling to a any
being and literally suck the life energy out of them. These potentially
dangerous creatures were named the "Metroids" and several were taken for
study. Contact was soon lost with the scientific vessel and it was quickly
learned that the Space Pirates had stolen the Metroids, intent on creating
an army to conquer the galaxy.

Appearing to the Federation's call for help, Samus poses as a bounty hunter
and accepts the job of hunting down and annihilating the Space Pirates on
Zebes. Not only to protect the galaxy from the Pirate's Metroid army, but
to avenge the death of her parents all those years ago...

.:---------------------(1.3 TAKE CONTROL)-------------------------------:.

Samus can jump and fire her arm cannon, giving her the ability of taking on
almost any enemy within the depths of Zebes. Using missiles, energy tanks
and a myriad of other items, you'll take on a range of enemies and bosses
before facing the dreaded Mother Brain. Read on below for a quick overview
of the controls.

You direct Samus around with the Directional Pad, you can also aim her arm
cannon left, right or up while moving.

/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\|B Button \| Fire Samus' arm cannon. Whichever beam weapon you current have \|
\| \| equipped will be used. Also use B to fire missiles. \|
\| \| \|
\|A Button \| Jump up. If you press left or right before jumping Samus will \|
\| \| perform a somersault in the air. \|
\| \| \|
\|Start \| Pause the game. Press again to resume. \|
\| \| \|
\|Select \| Switch to missile mode, press again to revert back to Samus' \|
\| \| beam weapon. \|

-(2.0 WEAPON & ITEM OVERVIEW)-
=====================================/

Hidden throughout the dense passageways of Zebes, you'll find many handy
weapons and items. Each one adds a new ability to Samus' Power Suit, many
are vital to your success. Keep in mind that you can only have the Ice Beam
or the Wave Beam equipped - you can't mix beam weapons. Read below for a
quick description of each item.

>>>Ice Beam

-Description: The Ice Beam changes Samus' beam to a freezing shot, any
enemies struck by the beam will be instantly frozen. Shoot
the target again to unfreeze it. While an enemy is frozen,
Samus can jump on top of them without taking damage. You'll
need the Ice Beam when venturing into Tourian near the end of
the game, as it'll be critical when facing the Metroids.

>>>Wave Beam

-Description: Gives Samus' arm cannon the ability to fire a series of
energy balls that fly in a wavy pattern. The pattern of the
shots can greatly help in destroying smaller enemies and
gives Samus a wider firing range.

>>>Long Beam
