they'll try to grab onto Samus and suck her energy away. If one does ever
grab you, just leave the room you're in to shake them off. Whenever you
face a Metroid, shoot it with the Ice Beam to freeze it, then pound into it
with 5 Missiles to end their day. Make sure you grab any energy or missile
refills they leave behind, as they'll restore more than the ordinary
enemies. At the bottom of the first shaft blast through the door with 10
Missiles and head through.
In the next corridor small red circles will appear from the background and
fly at Samus, just whack them with the Screw Attack or freeze them and move
on. You'll face more Metroids in here, just keep firing to the right as you
cross over the lava to freeze any when they appear. At the end of the
corridor, blast through the red door and descend the next shaft. More
Metroids await below, with a large concentration of ones at the base of the
shaft, so be careful. Once at the bottom go through the door to find
another corridor filled with Metroids. Whack each one and head through the
door on the left side to find the Mother Brain's lair - you'll know your
there as the music will pick up and become tenser. Gun turrets line the
ceiling, so try to avoid their fire, as well as the annoying red circles
appearing everywhere. You'll need to blow through the barriers ahead with
Missiles before reaching the Mother Brain, just keep pounding into them
until they blow. You'll need to blow through five barriers to reach the
Mother Brain at the left end of the corridor.
Final boss: Mother Brain
You'll find the Mother Brain encased in a large glass container
surrounded by gun turret defenses, so it'll be difficult avoiding the
projectiles flying around. Shoot the front of the glass with a single
Missile to break it open, you'll now have a clear shot at the gruesome
Mother Brain itself. Stand on the pillar where the last barrier was,
you can also stand on the small blue platform to the right of it to
pick off clear shots, just make sure the projectiles don't push you
into the lava just below Mother Brain as you'll have a tough time
getting out. Keep persisting against Mother Brain while the
projectiles fly about, after firing a number of shots you'll notice
that the brain will begin pulsating rapidly. Keep firing, then once
the projectiles stop coming and the screen flashes, the Mother Brain
will disintegrate and fall to pieces. You'll finally have gained a
well-deserved victory, but the fun isn't over yet.
A tense frantic theme will begin playing and a message "Time Bomb Set, Get
Out Fast" will appear where the Mother Brain was. A timer will appear and
begin rapidly counting down from the number 999, so you'll have to get out
of here before it reaches zero. Shoot open the door that appears on the
left to find a long shaft leading up. This is the final run, you're exit
and ultimate victory are waiting at the top. Jump up the shaft using the
small blue platforms, just try not to fall down. You should have plenty of
time to reach the exit, once you make it up there ride up the elevator to
escape from Zebes. Congratulations, you've now fully completed the one and
only original Metroid!
.:---------------------(3.6 FINALE)-------------------------------------:.
And that's the original NES Metroid, the one that began Samus' adventures
that now span more than 15 years. The game doesn't let you know how long it
took you to reach the end, but you'll probably find yourself playing for
somewhere between 2-4 hours the first time, but following this guide you
should beat it in around 1 hour 30 minutes, easily enough to gain a decent
ending.

-(4.0 GAME ENDINGS)-
=====================================/
After rewarding you with a congratulatory statement, the game will give you
a different ending before the credits roll based on the time it took you to
complete it from start to finish. After the credits roll and "The End"
appears, if you press Start you'll begin the game again with all of the
weapon and item power-ups, except Energy Tanks and Missiles.
5+ hours: Samus raises her left arm in victory, but her armor remains on.
5+ hours with Armorless Samus:
Samus turns around showing you her back while putting her arm
over her face, apparently looking disappointed.
3-5 hours: Samus begins to flash, then her helmet disappears revealing her
face and brown hair.
3- hours: Samus will begin flashing, her entire suit will then disappear,
revealing for the first time that Samus is neither a robot or a
man, she's a woman. She'll then wave before the credits roll. If
you play through the game again after the credits finish, you'll
be treated to a bonus where Samus no longer has her suit on
(she's still as strong, though).
1- hour: Samus begins flashing again, and her suit completely disappears.
This time she'll be wearing a bikini. She'll wave before the
credits roll.
