* [[Raised by Natives]]: Samus.
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: Crocomire in ''Super Metroid''.
* [[Rated "M" For Manly]]: The franchise is about a female [[Halo|Master Chief]] (who [[Irony|is actually the]] '''[[Irony|original]]''' [[Irony|Master Chief]]) blasting an '''incredible''' number of types of aliens and robots (most notably including the [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|cyborg pirate space dragon]] that Ridley becomes in ''Metroid Prime'') into smithereens using her [[Power Armor|power armor]] and said armor's built-in [[Arm Cannon|arm cannon]]. While the overall series might not exactly have the manliest of '''tones''', ''Super Metroid'' and the ''Prime'' trilogy (as well as ''Metroid Fusion'') were definitely '''much''' [[Darker and Edgier|darker and edgier]] than anyone was really expecting them to be.be.
** Also, ''Metroid: Other M'' and ''Metroid: Samus Returns'' took Samus' manliness a step '''further''' by giving her melee attacks and generally making her fight a '''lot''' more aggressively in combat encounters.
** Although not official, ''Another Metroid 2 Remake'' even introduced a Power Bomb [[Mortal Kombat|fatality]] for the Queen Metroid.
* [[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]].
Line 386 ⟶ 389:
* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Happens to Samus in the manga. The trauma of watching her homeworld being destroyed and watching her parents die is essentially forgotten until Ridley forces Samus to remember what happened in their first encounter many years later. After remembering the event, Samus suffers a horrendous [[Heroic BSOD]] and begs her comrades to kill her}}.
* [[Turtle Power]]: The oft-forgotten and turtle-like [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Tatori Tatori] and Tatori, Jr. creatures in Maridia are non-hostile toward Samus; Tatori even lets Samus stand on top of it to access an [[Heart Container|Energy Tank]] and a Missile Expansion.
