| Super Metroid (Manga) | comment |
In August 1994, Japanese manga digest Shounen Oh! Game Comic published a series of short 4-panel comics based upon Super Metroid. Unlike the dark and serious tone of the Metroid series, these non-canonical comics do not take themselves seriously at all, leading to a very comedic take on Samus Aran's personality as she goes on her mission to save the baby Metroid... all the while being distracted by round objects.There are three parts. "Round and Round" by Matsumoto Hidetaka focuses largely on Samus's obsession with round objects. "Oh! Metroid" by Hikka Ichiro shows Samus with a Hair-Trigger Temper. "Find the Baby!!" by Kan Sonsa features various gags related to Samus's equipment and abilities.Compare with the English comic adaptation of Super Metroid published in Nintendo Power, or the canonical (and much more serious) prequel manga.The manga can be viewed here, with an unofficial fan translation here.It would later receive a reference in Metroid: Samus and Joey where after Samus gets back the Morph Ball, she spends the final panel rolling around in Morph Ball form happily commenting on how good it feels as Joey and Diesel awkwardly watch and comment. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Super Metroid (Manga) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Samus' suit, powerful as it is, comes with its own set of drawbacks... Samus hurts her neck while trying to aim straight up. Samus electrocutes herself trying to use electronic machinery while her suit is wet. Samus performs fancy maneuvers with the Grapple Beam... and then vomits from motion sickness. | |

Adaptational Dumbass: The Ceres Space Colony scientists try using the baby Metroid as a hat, and then as a salad bowl. Samus isn't the brightest either, given her frequent distractions. Mission Control has to order her to stop acting like a moron. | |

In a Single Bound: The Shinespark, a secret technique that requires the Speed Booster to execute. Samus manages to Shinespark off of Zebes' surface and into the atmosphere twice, since unlike in the game proper, there's no invisible ceiling to block her. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Samus's obsession with round objects turns out to be useful during the fight against the Spore Spawn. When it is in its impenetrable shell, Samus doesn't bother shooting because it's round. When it opens up and exposes its vulnerable weakpoint, Samus gets mad and shoots it so that it'll be round again. | |

| Super Metroid (Manga) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: This tends to happen as a result of Samus's obsession with round objects. Samus is only interested in the Item Sphere because it's round; when she shoots it and reveals the useful Missile Tank, she loses interest and walks away because it isn't round anymore. She's also so overjoyed by Crocomire's eight round eyes that she doesn't notice that she's being Impaled with Extreme Prejudice. | |
