Line 45:
** Justified in ''Metroid Fusion'' as all the bosses and enemies are made of X parasites that Samus absorbs to recover health, so it makes sense that the bigger bosses have more potent X for her to eat.
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Applies to all kinds of ducts/tunnels, with the Morph Ball. Subverted in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', when after {{spoiler|losing her armor}}, Samus must crawl through said tunnels, and she's far from the only creature who can use them.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The games are easy to understand plotwise on their own, but there's quite a bit of canonical backstory for both ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' and ''Metroid Fusion'', as well as the entire franchise on the whole, to be found in the manuals and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130909192104/http://www.metroid-database.com/manga/listing.php?vid=19 two-volume] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130909192034/http://www.metroid-database.com/manga/listing.php?vid=13 manga].
* [[Exclusively Evil|Always Lawful Evil]]: The Space Pirates. Justified, as it's claimed any space pirates who question The Way Things Are are executed, sometimes on the spot. Any space pirate who expressed non-evil thoughts wouldn't have a very long life expectancy.
** According to some scans in the ''Metroid Prime'' series and some out-of-game info, not all of them are very happy with evil being the law, and certain POWs were incredibly easy to interrogate. Other scans seem to paint them more as [[Lawful Stupid]], with common troops not being nearly as malicious or cunning as Science Team.
Line 316:
* [[Recurring Boss]]: SA-X in Fusion, though it's not really a boss until near the end of the game. Ridley may be a better example, considering he appears in almost every game, and twice in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''. Also, {{spoiler|Metroid Prime, the final boss of its titular game, comes back as Dark Samus for the second and third games of the trilogy}}.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: In the [[E3]] 2009 trailer for ''Metroid: Other M'', a [[Power Armor]]-clad [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Anthony_Higgs man] greets Samus and says "Remember me?", opening his visor. Samus may have, but Metroid fans did not. [[Memetic Mutation|A meme was born]].
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: In the manga, Samus' pet Ponchi appears to be about half squirrel, half rabbit, and ''all'' adorable. Also, the Etecoons <ref>Monkey-koala hybrids.</ref> and the Dachoras <ref>Ostrich-style creatures.</ref> in ''Super Metroid'' and ''Metroid Fusion''. Played with [https://web.archive.org/web/20120512012444/http://www.metroid-database.com/mom/choogle.jpg the Little Birdie] in ''Metroid: Other M'', which turns out to be a [[Killer Rabbit]]. {{spoiler|Specifically, '''''RIDLEY'''''}}.
* [[Roar Before Beating]]: Some of the bosses do this.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: In ''Super Metroid''.
