Question 1

True or false: Samus's ship appears in the background of Crateria only if you leave the area and return.

Accepted Answer

False. Her ship is always visible in the Crateria landing site; it never disappears or changes based on your actions.

Question 2

True or false: The game contains a hidden message from the developers when you complete it in under three hours.

Accepted Answer

False. That's a myth; the under-three-hour reward is a picture of Samus without her helmet, not a developer message.

Question 3

True or false: There is a secret room in Maridia that contains a pile of bones referencing a dead Chozo warrior.

Accepted Answer

True. Yes, in the room with the grapple beam, you can find a skeleton—likely a nod to the Chozo who created the area’s tech.

Question 4

True or false: Draygon can be defeated by luring it into the electric sparks on the walls to electrocute it.

Accepted Answer

True. Yes, this is a clever, little-known trick—grappling the spark and letting Draygon touch you causes massive damage.

Question 5

True or false: You can skip fighting Kraid entirely by using a glitch to reach Norfair early.

Accepted Answer

True. Yes, the 'Kraid Quick Kill' or wall jump tricks let experienced players bypass him, though it’s not intended for normal play.

Question 6

True or false: The X-Ray Visor was originally planned but cut because it caused memory issues.

Accepted Answer

False. The X-Ray Visor is actually in the final game; it was the X-Ray Scope that was cut from early builds.

Question 7

True or false: The game's opening sequence with the escape from Ceres Station was added late in development.

Accepted Answer

True. It was actually created last, as the developers wanted a dramatic tutorial that also tied into the original Metroid's ending.

Question 8

True or false: The game's soundtrack was composed by two people, including a former member of the band The Minibosses.

Accepted Answer

False. Actually, the music was solely by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano; The Minibosses are a cover band, not composers.
