No matter what is thrown her way, be it Shadow Pirates, Regular Pirates, or Flying Pirates, Samus cuts through the labs. But the encounter of Metroids makes the bounty hunter wonder what could happen if the creatures were exposed to the mutagen called "Phazon." Still, with the Thermal Visor on hand and pulling the plug on the Research Facility, Samus makes her way back to the Ruined Courtyard to put the final touch on shutting Pirate activity down in the region.
Mini-Boss: Tallon Metroid
It's said that a Metroid's evolutionary growth is dependent on its environment. Compared to the ones on Zebes, the Tallon Metroid appears to be smaller. However, they are not to be taken lightly, as it still drainds the life force of anything it attaches itself to. Keep your distance, watch for its lunge, and use your arsenal on it. If it attaches to Samus, she can shake it off with a Morph Ball Bomb. An Ice Beam plus Missile combo easily destroys a Metroid...once you have it!
