developed by Nintendo-owned Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. It was the first 3D Metroid game and is officially classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure, rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component to the game. It was also the first Metroid game to be released since Super Metroid, which was released nearly eight years earlier (this applies to North America only; in all other markets, it was released after Metroid Fusion). The four part Prime storyline, however, takes place between the original Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus. The title was later bundled with the GameCube in 2004. Like in the previous games of the series, Metroid Prime has a science fiction setting, in which players control bounty hunter Samus Aran. The story follows Samus battling the Space Pirates and their biological experiments on planet Tallon IV.

Easter Eggs
Bird Hunting on Tallon IV! When you are in Chozo Ruins, look up. You will find many birds flying around, ready for the killing. Shoot at them and you will see their feathers gently fall if you shoot them correctly. Glitches
Frozen Omega Pirate without a Stasis Chamber When you enter the Omega Pirate's stasis chamber room for the boss fight (It's for getting the Phazon Suit) switch to your Scan Visor. Now lock onto the Omega pirate and walk to his left, start scanning him and walk toward him until a Cinema screen appears. When the movie screen appears press start to skip this little movie. You should see him without the stasis chamber around him. This gives you the Chance to Blow off one of his Shoulder/Knee pads before he even wakes up.
Space Jump Boots Early: PAL and NAPC Unlike the NTSC version of this glitch, you cannot execute a dash jump via Scan Visor. Instead, head to the Temple Access (the room visible when you are finished saving on your ship). Lock on to the first Seedling and back up. Without letting your lock on reticule pass the door connecting the Landing Site with Temple Access, head back to your ship and carefully position yourself on the rear right thruster on the ship. Now, execute a dash jump (dash right, off of the ship and let go of L when the dash is executed) and continue to the Alcove. Your Space Jump Boots await you!
Suicidal Wall Metroids First, get a metroid latched onto you. Next, lay a bomb and position yourself next to a wall, so that when the metroid is dislodged, it gets stuck in the wall. Wait a couple of seconds and the metroid should simply explode. This is particularly useful against the Fission Metroids, especially when low on Power bombs.
Secrets
Easy Meta Ridley kill During Ridley's second phase, use the Wavebuster. With enough Missiles, he dies in one hit.
Easy Metroid Prime (Core) battle Near the point at which you start is something resembling a twig embedded into the ground. While standing on top of this twig, you are completely immune to Metroid Prime's shockwave, its only (common) attack. The only things that can hurt you are the short range lunge attack and spawned Metroids, which fall easily anyway.
Curiously, while standing here, Metroid Prime will not change emission spectra without laying a pool of Phazon, which helps the fight along considerably.
Meta Ridley Quick Air Form This trick makes Ridley much shorter. While in his air form, wait until he flies above you and crashes down on you. Before he flies back up, hit him with the boost ball. If done correctly, he will lose his wings and the ground form will begin.
Unlock Original NES Metroid/Metroid Fusion Suit To unlock the original NES Metroid, simply beat Metroid Fusion on GBA, then link the GBA (with Fusion in it) to the GCN (with prime in it) then at the main menu of prime go to the bottom where it says GBA link bonuses or something like that. Make sure you have beaten Metroid Fusion though.
To unlock the Metroid Fusion Suit, do the exact same thing only don't beat fusion, but beat Prime.
Speed runs are the cheaters' favourites! They're like video guides that show you how to finish games in about an hour. Metroid Prime has such a guide too and you can check it out here:
