Spoilers for all Metroid works preceding this one, specifically Super Metroid, will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Released in 2010, Metroid: Other M is the second original Metroid game released for the Wii, following Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The first and only 3D non-Prime entry in the franchise, the game is a third person action-adventure/platform game developed by Nintendo SPD in collaboration with Team Ninja (of Dead or Alive fame) and animation studio D-Rockets under the name "Project M".After the events of Super Metroid, Samus Aran is contemplative about her final battle against Mother Brain and the death of the infant Metroid. With both the Metroids and the Space Pirates no longer a threat, she spends quite some time drifting through space and dwelling on these thoughts until she picks up a distress call from a decommissioned biological research station known as the Bottle Ship and sets out to investigate. Once there, she encounters a Galactic Federation platoon that also picked up the signal, and also happens to include some familiar faces from Samus' military past: Anthony Higgs, her best friend from the academy, and Adam Malkovich, her former commanding officer. While she's happy to reunite with the former, she has mixed feelings about seeing the latter again, with him being incredibly cold and dismissive in return. However, as they begrudgingly work together to figure out the truth about the facility's operations following a surprise monster attack, Samus finds herself forced to come to terms with the events surrounding her military past as well.

Multi-Mook Melee: There's a hallway just before the control bridge (Phantoon boss arena), where you face some of the more powerful foes of the game. Fortunately, it should mostly be a laugh, as about half of them can be killed with a single Screw Attack, and the rest with a Power Bomb.

Heroic BSoD: Samus, upon confronting a very much alive Ridley. This is probably the most controversial part of the entire game, as she had faced him multiple times before without breaking down. She also happens to be going through a less severe one involving the death of the baby Metroid from Super throughout this game.

Darker and Edgier: The normal music is subdued and ambient and battle music is heavy on "Psycho" Strings and intense percussion, the setting is more artificial and constricted, and the story tries for heavier themes such as betrayal, past pain, conflicting loyalty, government conspiracy, and sacrifice.

 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_15df66d9
comment
After Boss Recovery: The game shows a notable aversion for the series. This is due to there being no health and missile pickups whatsoever, because of a technique called Concentration where you can restore health and missiles. Restoring health is only at critical damage, though, and sometimes you're automatically healed anyway.

Evil Versus Evil: After Ridley flees from Samus, he comes face to face with a Queen Metroid. Given he was already wounded, he is quickly defeated and drained of his life force. The last time the Deleter, aka James is seen alive is when he tries to assassinate MB. She kills him offscreen shortly after.

comment
An All There in the Manual example, the game itself doesn't tell you some enemy attacks can be counter-attacked by pressing the 1 Button at the right time. And knowing which attacks can be countered requires experimentation or a guide since the game doesn't provide button prompts or other visual/audio cues.

Another example is Samus's first glimpse of Melissa Bergman. During a scan mode section, the player might not even notice her until they pass the cursor over the window she's peering out of. When that happens, the camera rapidly zooms in on MB, accompanied by an appropriate Scare Chord.

Chekhov's Gun: The Power Bombs. Adam forbids Samus from using them outright at the beginning of the game, citing their extreme destructive power. You can't use them until the very end of the game, but it's oh-so-satisfying to vaporize the Queen Metroid with them.

comment
Aborted Arc: The sub-plot with The Deleter just kind of cuts off, but with the clues presented it becomes easy to figure out the Deleter's identity and what ultimately happened to him. Of the last two plausible suspects, one (K.G.) was dumped in the lava by the Deleter, and Samus never found out what happened to him. James, the last remaining suspect, is found having clearly not been thrown in lava; thus, he has to have been the one. Neither Samus herself, nor any other character for that matter, ever mentions the Deleter past the point where the sub-plot drops off, though.

Saved by the Platform Below: Anthony attacks Ridley to save Samus, but Ridley knocks him off the platform and he falls into a lava pit where he is presumed to be dead and his in-game profile even has him marked as killed in action. At the ending, Anthony shows up alive and well with only some singes to his armor. It's revealed that Anthony managed to freeze a lava monster on his way down with his freeze gun, providing a safe platform for him to fall on.

Same Plot Sequel
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_2df3589
comment
Same Plot Sequel: To Metroid Fusion, or rather a Same Plot Prequel. Both games involve Samus investigating a massacre on a space station which is divided into sectors based on habitats from Zebes while under the command of someone from the Federaton named Adam, both games involve Samus reminiscing about her past, and both culminate in Samus finding out that the Federation has been secretly hatching Metroids. Both games also feature fights with Nightmare and a ressurected Ridley. Other M is mainly different thanks to a few additional subplots (the Deleter and MB) and differences in Samus and Adam's characterizations.

Invisible Wall: The game has you run into what appears to be one of these in the Biosphere, but almost immediately afterwards you run into a control panel that reveals that it was a real wall — the skyboxes in the ship's artificial biomes are holograms of some sort. Occasionally you will have to disable them to reveal an actual door to leave the room (presumably the panel locks the doors automatically when it turns on the holograms). It later plays it straight with a Missile Tank.

Space Pirates: Samus technically scattered them all, but through cloning, and using MB, an artificial human version of Mother Brain, as a method of control, the Galactic Federation intends to use them as Super Soldiers. The plan goes to hell, of course, and damn near causes the resurrection of the very enemies they spent years to destroy. To make matters worse, a clone of Ridley was accidentally created, and Phantoon survived Super Metroid.

Breaking Old Trends: Excluding exclusive features (i.e. authority system and no refill items), the biggest change in the series were missile expansions. Usually, you will get 5 Missiles each time you collect one. While Metroid Prime: Hunters changed expansions to a high 10, Other M is only 1. The trend to get less than 5 missiles carried on from here, with Metroid: Samus Returns and Metroid Dread being evident of that.

Under the Sea: The game doesn't have a dedicated water sector, but Sector 1 and Sector 3 have significant portions of underwater sections. The oddity is that you have the Gravity Suit that allows you to move underwater unhindered, but it isn't authorised until extremely late into the game.

Game-Breaking Bug: There is a glitch where a door in Sector 3 that you have to go through will not open, no matter what you do. Nintendo had to accept mail-ins for cards with save files. They claim the cause of the bug is picking up the Ice Beam, going into the following room, killing all the enemies to open that room's next door, and then immediately backtracking into the Ice Beam room before continuing on into the room you just opened at least once.

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Anthony Higgs wields a Federation-issued Plasma Rifle. It's twice as long as he is tall, and takes about 10 seconds to charge up enough energy to fire a single shot. Samus' Plasma Beam is rapid fire and integrated with her Arm Cannon to the point where she can charge for a stronger blast. The Federation is reverse engineering Samus' weaponry, they're just nowhere close to the Chozo's level.

Abandoned Laboratory: The game takes place in a station quite similar to the one from Fusion, used as a laboratory for researching biological weapons. In fact, it appears to be the predecessor to the secret research carried out on the B.S.L station. The specific sectors intersect with other tropes: Jungle Japes (Biosphere), Slippy-Slidey Ice World (Cryosphere), and Lethal Lava Land (Pyrosphere).

Then she tells Adam that this place is dangerous.

 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_41a894d2
comment
Voodoo Shark: The Authorization system was intended to make more sense than the series's typical Bag of Spilling Once an Episode. Instead, every review notes the justification of possible harm to allies as a reason Samus can't use purely defensive or exploration based upgrades makes less sense. Other M also features, as a major plot point, the idea that the Federation has been engineering unfreezable Metroids. Except the game features many other Metroids that are fully freezable. It attempts to justify them as "control groups" or "too young", but it ends up casting major doubts on the idea, especially since we never actually see an unfreezable Metroid and Adam acknowledges he doesn't know if the idea is true. The only evidence is a corpse apparently left by a Metroid in a cold area. And there's the idea that Metroids are completely invincible when not frozen is a Retcon (they can be killed by other means in most of the games) and even contradicts the ending of Super Metroid (and by extension, Other M's opening cinematic), where a powerful Metroid was killed by Mother Brain without using ice of any kind. It ends up making Adam's fate look like something of a Stupid Sacrifice. Lastly, Other M indicates that the method by which Metroids become Queen Metroids is genetic, and that some Metroids (including the baby) are just meant to grow into Queens. Except every Metroid in that particular game had its genes derived from the baby. Why aren't they all Queens?

Reduced-Downtime Features
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_4d1e5c25
comment
Reduced-Downtime Features: The level design differs from previous games in the franchise by focusing on traversing from room to room, with very few branching paths and doors that are prone to lock behind the player to prevent Backtracking. Also, rather than the usual way of refilling health and ammo by collecting drops of defeated enemies, the concentration move allows players to refill both instead of farming enemies for drops or running back to a recharge station.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The "Concentration" mechanic inexplicably replenishes Samus' health and missiles. It can only be used in a Near-Death Experience, so it doubles as a Press X to Not Die.

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_50727f8d
comment
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: If you die and continue, you'll usually respawn a few rooms away from where you died with as much health/missiles as you reached the checkpoint with. Considering how hard it is to regain health in this game, this is quite a blessing. In Boss Battles (not counting mini-bosses) you only respawn back at the beginning of that fight, and even then, it's only at the beginning of the section where you died (if you die while inside the Queen Metroid, you just respawn and get eaten again right away, so you get as many chances of nuking the Queen Metroid as you'd like).

Book Ends: Samus being referred to as an outsider, by Adam at the beginning, and by the Federation officer at the end. The opening cinematic shows Samus' fight with Mother Brain in Super Metroid. MB, an AI based on Mother Brain, is the last antagonist you face in the main story. The postgame plays with the Book Ends, as the boss of the postgame is another Super Metroid boss: Phantoon.

Nobody Poops: Still played straight as in previous games, but more noticeable in that there are a pair of restrooms aboard the station. A tad odd that there are only two? Considering at least two parts of the ship require gear for extreme heat or cold, you can forgive them for assuming your protective suit handles that as well.

Shoulders of Doom: Samus, unsurprisingly, but what makes this particular time unique is that the cutscene that shows Samus in the army features the original power suit with the triangular shoulder pads. Samus now sports the shoulders without the Varia function on. Of course this can be explained by the fact that it is now a Varia function, not a suit. The Varia suit is now an upgraded power suit with Varia and gravity functions.

Nintendo Hard: It'll take you a few tries to defeat some of the earlier enemies as you learn the combat mechanics, and even then, this game requires a lot more skill and attention than the other Metroid games. A minimum powerup run would be incredibly hellish, and this is exactly what Hard Mode is. You're limited to 99 energy, and you're limited to 10 (rechargeable) missiles and a slowly charging charge beam, as all the expansion tanks are removed.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: According to this Iwata Asks interview, a large focus during development was averting this. For example, in cutscenes, Samus retains her current health and missile count and even views things the same as the player does in first-person mode. She does still pull off some kick-ass moves the player can't do, however. Played mostly straight with the "Concentration" mechanic. Samus actually uses it once in a cutscene, but the maneuver itself is never justified in-story, and is instead explained in various manga released years previously. Of course, the game's previous use of health and ammo pickups, which concentration replaced, was also justified in story. Albeit, only in the first game's manual.

Permanently Missable Content
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_6602cad
comment
Permanently Missable Content: The game keeps this trope running in the Metroid franchise. At one point in Sector 2, there is an area with a Missile Tank, which is behind a pillar. Unless you have a guide, chances are you'll miss it. Wouldn't be so bad except that the area suddenly succumbs to an avalanche after you solve the puzzle. This avalanche covers the entire area and you can never go back and get the items you missed, even after you beat the game. In at least some versions of the game, this is addressed. Going into the avalanche-ruined room and looking up in first-person mode in the postgame will reveal a grapple buoy that can be used to get up to the missed missile tank. Naturally, there's no indication to look up at all.

Covered in Gunge: Blasting an enemy in the first person view sometimes results in the guts splattering on the viewscreen. Also, though it didn't show in-game, apparently Samus spent the last portion of the preceding game covered in the guts of the infant Metroid and Ridley, from which each was later cloned (Ridley's was accidental).

Artistic License – Military: Defied, Front Line General aside- Samus is essentially working with Adam's unit as a private military contractor. Once she agreed to work with them, she followed Adam's orders and adheres to the mission parameters, like any other military contractor would be required to do.

Guide Dang It!
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: The player is supposed to use a power bomb to kill the Queen Metroid, but the only hint given is a blink and you'll miss it shot of Samus pressing a button in her arm cannon. If the player fails to realize that it was meant to symbolize her unlocking the upgrade, they will be trapped in morph ball mode being constantly damaged until her health runs out. An All There in the Manual example, the game itself doesn't tell you some enemy attacks can be counter-attacked by pressing the 1 Button at the right time. And knowing which attacks can be countered requires experimentation or a guide since the game doesn't provide button prompts or other visual/audio cues. Neither in the manual nor the game itself does it tell you that you can use the Sense Move while in first-person view, aside from a green border around the screen before the attack connects. Figuring this out on your own is required in order to beat the first boss.

Zero-Effort Boss
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_6edb0066
comment
Zero-Effort Boss: MB, the cybernetic reincarnation of Mother Brain, who is incredibly easy to beat despite being built up to be quite threatening. Most players will kill her by accident while trying to desperately fend off at-this-point-invincible Desbrachians. Downplayed in that it isn't made clear exactly what you're meant to be doing in the fight anyway, so you could find yourself spending several minutes blasting away before you accidentally beat it or suddenly realize that the Desbrachians are just there to distract you from aiming at MB herself, who is standing far in the background.

Trauma Conga Line: Before the game starts, Samus is just recovering from a very physically and mentally taxing mission, then meets her former CO and parental figure, Adam, whom she left with bitter terms and hasn't met for a long time, so has to reconcile. But then she has to once again take arms and fight. Then she has to confront Ridley, her most feared and hated enemy who should this time be Deader than Dead, and then witnesses her close friend getting killed. After that, Adam has to sacrifices himself in front of her in order to save everyone, and after that, she was left almost powerless to do anything when the military takes action. Then she returns to get Adam's helmet and is attacked again, this time with the enemies under Phantoon, and then is almost killed in the destruction of the Bottle Ship.

100% Completion: Collecting all items in the game will unlock the path to a True Final Boss (Phantoon, of Super Metroid fame) and ending. Since all items minus the essential powerups are absent in Hard Mode, the game lacks a Playable Epilogue (including the aforementioned True Final Boss) in that mode, which ends after the defeat of the standard Final Boss.

Later-Installment Weirdness
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_7b21ef92
comment
Later-Installment Weirdness: It's far more focused on story and has loads of cutscenes and dialogues. The game is more linear than its predecessors and has less exploration than other games, including Fusion. The gameplay includes unusual melee combat and quick time events. Also you no longer need to shoot doors to open them. The powerups are gotten by authorization instead of finding them in some places, and enemies no longer drop collectibles (meaning that Samus has to use Concentration to refill). This game also introduces a collectible item called the "Accel Charge" which reduces the time needed to charge up the Charge Beam: no other game in the franchise has featured this. Also, because of the Concentration mechanic, Samus has to collect "E-Recovery Tanks" which enables the ability to restore more health, otherwise Concentration will only ever recover up to 99 health points. Another new collectible introduced in this game are "Energy Parts" which equal 1 Energy Tank for every 4 Parts obtained. This is also the only game in the series where Power Bombs do not have ammo, only a cooldown period. Some of these elements would later be used in the games developed by MercurySteam, with both Samus Returns and Dread featuring a heavy emphasis on melee counters leading into flashy cinematics and then QTE prompts. Dread would also bring back the Energy Parts collectibles.

Superboss: If you play the post-credits sequence for 100% and the extra ending, you have to butt heads with Phantoon from Super Metroid, who not only has new powers, but is also much scarier-looking than before. For technical reasons (namely the absence of items and thus the impossibility of a Playable Epilogue), the Phantoon fight was intentionally left out of Hard Mode.

What Happened to the Mouse?: The subplot involving the Deleter is significant for a large portion of the game, but is effectively dropped after he attacks MB. However, observant players will notice James's dead body laying in the same room where Samus left him, implying that he was the traitor. There is, however, no indication that Samus realizes this.

Eldritch Abomination: Phantoon. In Super Metroid, he's a bit taller than Samus, maybe three times as wide. In this game, he's the size of a mid-size space craft, spawns disembodied hands, and shoots swirling portal vortex things at you. And according to the concept art, that "mid-sized space craft" sized head sits atop a vaguely humanoid body about as big as any of the starships in the Metroid universe; it's just all you can see in the visible dimension is his head.

Audience Shift: To counter a history of low sales in its native land, the game was designed to appeal to Japanese audiences with a stronger emphasis on story and a more linear style of gameplay.

One-Hit-Point Wonder: Hard Mode removes all extra Energy Tanks, Missile Expansions, and Accel Charges, leaving Samus with 99 energy (one Energy Tank) and 5 Missiles. By halfway through the game, most enemies and bosses will do more than a whole energy tank's worth of damage, killing her in a single strike.

Non-Standard Game Over: Occurs if you let a certain boss kill Anthony before you use the just authorized Grapple Beam to get to him. Fortunately, he can't die during the actual boss fight. There's one scene where Samus has to jump up a broken elevator shaft while enemies chase her. She has to make the elevator crash down on the enemies to dispatch them, but the elevator has just as good a chance of killing Samus as well.

Pixel Hunt: There are several forced first person segments, where you're trying to find one small detail in a much larger picture. The most infamous of these involve a spot of green blood on a field of green grass. The player not only isn't given any hints about this, but they also receive a Red Herring in the form of the game making you face in the complete opposite direction, where there is a corpse that all the NPCs are surrounding and commenting on the condition of. You're expected not to go with the natural assumption that you need to find a way to examine it, and instead turn 180 degrees to look at a barely noticeable puddle.

Arbitrary Equipment Restriction: The game's justification as to why you're starting from scratch with power-ups: Samus refuses to use her perfectly-functioning weapons and abilities until Adam, her (temporary) commanding officer, gives her permission. While this can be hand-waved as being for safety purposes (so her super missiles don't accidentally blow up the station), it makes zero sense when she dies from heat exhaustion in lava-filled rooms because Adam has not yet told her, "Hey, you should probably turn on your heat-resistant Varia suit now."

Played straight with a paper-thin justification. In most Metroid games, Samus finds new items throughout the game which she uses to power up her suit and then has for the rest of the game. In this game, Samus has ALL her powers from the beginning, but depending on the point in the story or section of the game, she can only use the power-ups her commanding officer Adam Malkovitch allows her to use.

Mook Bouncer: An indirect example - there's an enemy that you can't kill when you first meet it. It resides on ceilings and has a large tentacle which, if you get grabbed by it, electrocutes you for heavy damage, THEN plops you back to the beginning of the room. It's a huge relief once you get the Plasma Beam, and can kill it easily.

Forbidden Chekhov's Gun: The game combines this with A Taste of Power for the Power Bombs. You test them out in the beginning of the game, and are promptly told to never use them, and in fact attempting do so will fail. Until the final boss, where you HAVE to use them after being swallowed. Also a Guide Dang It! since you have, most likely, completely forgotten they exist by that point and wouldn't think to use them after all the hubbub about not using them previously.

Loads and Loads of Loading: This is the first game in the series to actually pause the screen and say "LOADING". If you're playing casually, you may never see this — but if you're playing for speed, you'll see it a lot. Sometimes a load even takes place while you're wall-climbing, which may cause you to fall and get a loading screen for the previous room again.

 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_96c26bf3
comment
Armed with Canon Yoshio Sakamoto stated that Samus' depiction in the game is the "true Samus", effectively contradicting many of her other canon and non-canon depictions. The first scene changes the ending to Super Metroid compared to Super Metroid's treatment of the prior to games. The gravity suit no longer exists because it was deemed too strange for Samus to be colored purple, in defiance of Nintendo's official specification. The so called "zero suit" was given high heel like wedges, despite the design notes from Metroid: Zero Mission specifically telling the sprite artists not to add such a thing. Samus is noticeably shorter and slimmer than many other soldiers, especially unarmored, where previously she had been on par or noticeably larger than all but a few bounty hunters, and was fairly bulky even unarmored in some Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission-Metroid Fusion linked ending pictures. The very first game's manual described health and ammo pickups as a function of her suit, where such pickups could be scanned in Metroid Prime and adapting to circumstance in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but are totally absent here in favor of a crystal flash like recovery that isn't fueled by ammunition but "concentration". Nintendo Power comics likened fighting Samus to fighting a tank but she suffers more damage and Knock Back in this game than any before it and performs many more acrobatic manuevers. The biggest nonvisual/gameplay alterations are Samus's personality as compared to the original manga and her personal history. Her time as a police officer in an interservice rivalry with the military she personally provoked, as well as her up bringing with the Chozo, is excised and ignored, respectively. Samus also lacks Shrouded in Myth status she had in the first game's manual, that was expanded upon in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The attributes of Metroid instars have been changed to suit the story, though to be fair that started with Metroid Fusion's Omega Metroid being vulnerable to ice. Nonetheless ice immunity is now revealed to be a shocking development and the queen metroid's behavior only superficially resembles that of Metroid II Return Of Samus.

Same Character, But Different: Inverted for both Samus and Adam. While neither character had been heavily characterized before, they had, at least, received the broad outline of characterization from other games in the series (namely the Prime trilogy and Fusion) and the official manga. This game features them acting very differently from their generally-established characterization, and even only fits the initial description of the events involved in very Broad Strokes.

Additionally, you cannot re-fight the Final Boss, but you do get a bonus True Final Boss instead.

Took a Level in Badass: Phantoon is at least five times larger than last time. In previous games, Zoomers simply strolled along a set path, only bumping into Samus by accident. In Other M, they actively attack Samus. Samus each time she gets one of her top weapons. The Screw Attack can one-shot many of the tougher regular enemies Samus faces, like the Zebesians. The Power Bomb can one-shot every non-boss enemy, including the Rhedogians (the flying anomalocaris-like creatures).

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: MB is a very interesting case. She was designed just to be a humanoid version of Mother Brain to interface with Metroids. However, after bonding with a baby Metroid, and getting the name Melissa Bergman from Madeline Bergman, this caused her to develop self-awareness and, to Samus' reckoning, a soul. However, after Madeline does nothing to protect her from being taken away, she immediately loses said soul and goes on a rampage, which is very apparent in the final cutscenes where she talks in a Creepy Monotone and doesn't even attempt to hide her non-humanity.

comment
Foreshadowing: There's a reason that scientist at the beginning of the game seems like a total douche. He is conducting illegal experiments within the Galactic Federation, and harvested the genetic material from several dangerous species while pretending to "clean" Samus' power suit. James Pierce is the Communications man of the squad and was trained by the Federation Central Information Agency. As the game progresses, a mysterious traitor starts killing off members of the squad, and the communication systems within the Bottle Ship seem to be non operational... If you listen closely to the song that plays when Samus is attacked by the "Mysterious Creature" in the Biosphere Test Area, you can hear hints of Ridley's theme. A rather interesting one that only the Japanese could get. In Japan, the official explanation for Phantoon was that he was the manifestation of Mother Brain's consciousness. This fact, as well as the rather eerie feeling of the Bottle Ship, particularly in the postgame, might have raised some eyebrows over there, and is the best explanation for his reappearance. If you look at Melissa, her barrette is shaped suspiciously like a Metroid's tri-nucleus.

Metroidvania: Severely downplayed. While the series stable of Samus getting new weapons and abilities as the game progresses is still in place, the structure of the game is linear to a point where it even surpasses Fusion, as doors frequently locks behind Samus, effectively preventing any meaningful backtracking or exploration. The game first fully opens up during the Playable Epilogue, during which all there is left to do is collecting left-over energy and missile tanks and fighting a Superboss.

Failure Hero: Samus resolves none of the issues in the whole game. The Mole is walking around killing people? MB murders him. Ridley is resurrected? The Metroid Queen makes him her bitch. Sector Zero is crawling with Metroid clones that can survive cold temperatures? Adam destroys it in a Heroic Sacrifice. The Galactic Federation is about to apprehend the one person who can testify about the crimes commited aboard the Bottle Ship? Anthony is there to escort her to safety. In the grand scheme of things, the bounty hunter is just an overpowered distraction while every other character does most of the work.

One-Hit Kill
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0
comment
One-Hit Kill: In Sector 3's Pyrosphere running into the glass pipe, Samus is given a short time to dodge Vorash's lunge. Failure to do so means Vorash will swallow her whole, instantly killing her. Failing to get to a secure spot when the elevator drops down instantly kills Samus. Hard mode turns many seemingly-trivial enemy attacks into this. Due to the player being stuck at 99 energy max, some enemy attacks halfway to near the end of the game will inflict damage more than a whole Energy Tank's worth, and since there's no Last Chance Hit Point mechanic in Hard mode, Game Over.

Hollywood Tactics: For such a "brilliant military mind" Adam sure does use a lot of these. He splits the squad up to explore the Bottle Ship's different areas alone, even though he knows communication is impossible except at the ship's own communication rooms. Samus is a woman who is more heavily armed than the entire squad put together ten times over, specializes in exploring and securing hostile environments and is the only person he can remain in constant communication with. What does Adam do with this major windfall? Heavily restricts her armaments, defenses and methods. His first job for her: go turn on the lights.

Emergency Energy Tank: The game features a variation: when Samus' HP are low, she can "Concentrate" to restore a small amount of HP (normally this only restores missiles). You can also collect E-Recovery Tanks which increase both the amount of HP restored and the threshold at which this option becomes available.

comment
Already Done for You: Halfway through the game, the Deleter is introduced. Figuring out his identity and stopping him from destroying the evidence aboard the Bottle Ship becomes one of Samus' priorities, but he is ultimately Killed Offscreen by MB not long after. Near the end of the game, MB informs Samus about Sector Zero, the place on the ship where Metroids are being bred. The protagonist makes her way there, but is stopped by Adam just before she can enter it. Knowing that the only way to kill the genetically engineered Metroids would be by causing the sector to self-destruct, he incapacitates Samus and takes her place in the suicide mission. Once Sector Zero has been destroyed, Samus turns her attention to Ridley, who is injured from the previous battle, but still considered the biggest threat aboard the Bottle Ship. By the time she finally finds him, he has been reduced to a decaying corpse, courtesy of having his life force drained by the Queen Metroid.

But you have to be badass to do what he did at the end of the game; he could very well be the only human capable of killing Samus, judging from when he shot her, causing her to lose her power suit and most of her stamina. And this was only ONE shot!

comment
Convection, Schmonvection: At first averted, but later played straight. In the infamous Sector 3 runthrough, Samus doesn't activate her Varia suit, and takes constant damage as a result. Later, when Samus saves Anthony, he doesn't seem to have any ill effects from being around the hot lava, though it is possible that the G-Fed army suits are very good at protecting from the elements. This is also in play when the miniboss you just fought suffers no ill effects from diving straight into the lava. The fact that there is lava all at means that this trope is played very straight. Space, being a vacuum, means that heat has nowhere to go, therefore the bottle ship should be at volcanic temperatures all through.

comment
Retcon: A minor one, but still interesting to note. Samus describes Adam as "the only father-figure I ever had". This completely ignores Samus' backstory with Old Bird, Gray Voice, and the Chozo in general as her foster family. The game shows us that Samus's past combat service with the Federation was in their Army. This changes a detail the Metroid (Manga) from 2002 told us she had been with the Federation Police, and her commanding officer in the manga was a man named Chief Hardy; she was never under Adam's command. In this game, Samus' armor is something she spawns from a badge on her Zero Suit and maintains through concentration. While games in the series also have the suit activated and powered by some level of mental and/or spiritual energy, this is the only instance where constant concentration is needed to keep the suit activated. One game even has Samus' suit remaining active while she's unconscious serve as a major plot point.

Retool: Below listed are mechanics exclusive only to this game and has not carried on since: No health or missile refill items from enemies. You can only refill when your life is low or at a save point. The authority system. Power Bomb usage having a recharge bar. Slow loading times during gameplay when progressing without saving. The game strongly encourages you to save every often to refresh the game's nearest locations and objectives. Has Post-End Game Content. Once you defeat MB and watch the ending, Samus goes back to the Bottle Ship for her own reasons with days of time lapse. From here on out, all locked areas you may have missed or were locked on purposes until the main game was completed are now unlocked. Additionally, you cannot re-fight the Final Boss, but you do get a bonus True Final Boss instead.

Lost in Translation
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_b7920c43
comment
Lost in Translation: Sakamoto, despite barely speaking English, insisted on overseeing the English localization of his precious script. So in addition to the English version being littered with badly-rewritten artifacts of the original Japanese, several ideas were lost in translation due to oversimplification, exaggeration, and even just plain mistranslation of character motivations and behavior. One example is Adam calling Samus "Lady" back during her military days. In Japanese, Samus goes into detail about how she hated the nickname, even after she grew to respect Adam's leadership, since it felt like it was a veiled insult concerning her womanhood. Meanwhile, the English translation goes in the opposite direction, with her loving the nickname precisely because it meant Adam acknowledged her as a woman. In fact, the English script as a whole seems to portray Samus as a schoolgirl with a crush, muddling a character arc centered on her dealing with self-perceived weakness, all of which only worsened perception of what would have already been a divisive game in the West. And that is to say nothing of how vague and confusing the details of the overall plot were made. Another element that got lost in translation was regarding the ending. In the Japanese script, it was explicitly stated in the post-game that the bioweapon conspiracy within the Federation Army was shut down thanks to Samus and Anthony protecting Madeline as a witness, whereas the English dub implied that the conspiracy movement was largely unaffected by Samus's actions.

Percussive Prevention: There's a controversial example when Adam shoots Samus in the back to prevent her from entering the Metroid breeding lab.

Jump Scare
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_c04b1231
comment
Jump Scare: At the Exam Center part of the game, there's a room with six doors. You hear a strange monotonous beeping noise as you walk through the room. Five of these have nothing in them. However, the third door has what appears to be the lifeless corpse of a Zebesian; the camera immediately cuts to a close-up of it as it falls toward Samus. Even she jumps. Another example is Samus's first glimpse of Melissa Bergman. During a scan mode section, the player might not even notice her until they pass the cursor over the window she's peering out of. When that happens, the camera rapidly zooms in on MB, accompanied by an appropriate Scare Chord.

comment
Outrun the Fireball: Shortly after authorizing the Wave Beam, Samus is forced to outrun an avalanche after activating a lift. Since this happens after you get Speed Booster authorized (and you had to use it multiple times in that very room), you can guess how Samus gets out of the way.

Dull Surprise: Samus during her monologues. Less so when she actually talks with the others, but still. This was deliberately done, since emotional detachment is considered badass in Japan, though it admittedly can come across as rather jarring to a Western audience.

Informed Attribute: Samus has been previously stated to have an Amazonian build at 6 feet 3 inches and 198 pounds. When you see her without the suit in this game she looks waifish, and on average comes up to the shoulders of male characters. Either someone didn't get the memo or it is perfectly normal for men to be seven feet tall in this world.

The Federation Troopers use machine guns. Zig-Zagged with Anthony's BFG Energy Weapon and the ice guns that appear to be a standard-issue secondary weapon for all Fed troops.

Cutscene Incompetence
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd
comment
Cutscene Incompetence: Samus is reduced to her Zero Suit by a single shot to the back from Adam's pistol. No attack in the game, even boss attacks (much less a shot from a pistol), is capable of disabling Samus by that stage in a single shot. This is justified by being a sneak attack and the Retcon of Samus's armor relying on concentration.

Shout-Out
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Quite a few Alien references, as per tradition: One's of Lyle's lines near the beginning is "They're coming outta the walls!" The only time Samus faces the Deleter, he attacks her and MB, using what appears to be some sort of construction vehicle (a load lifter), which just happens to have a close resemblance to the one Ripley uses at the beginning of Aliens, and at the end to fight the Alien Queen. The title screen opens to a refreshing piano melody overlooking a starry backdrop, Like the first Metroid game. The naked fetal Samus at the beginning almost seems designed to evoke memories of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Ridley slamming Samus against the wall of the Geothermal Power Plant and dragging her along it is a shout-out to his pre-boss fight cutscene from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, only this time Pikachu's not there to save her. The Game Over screen is a reference to the Metal Gear series, with the Mission Control begging the fallen protagonist to respond through the Codec.

Informed Ability: Adam is described as being "a father figure", and yet none of the scenes shown in-game support this statement. On the contrary, a lot of scenes that he shows up in seem to give off the impression that he really dislikes Samus. He's also described in Fusion as being a military genius, with Samus using the phrase "perfect military mind" in her ending monologue in Fusion. The man we see in this game appears somewhat oblivious to things going on around him and makes some very questionable tactical decisions during the story, as well as losing all but one of his squad, including himself.

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better The Federation Troopers use machine guns.

Unfortunately, these machine guns are shown to be pretty ineffective against the creatures on the Bottle Ship. Damage ratios with missiles and charged shots have been completely inverted, resulting in what would have forgettable room design in previous games becoming boss fights here due to the inability to freely fire, much less aim missiles.

Dynamic Loading
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_d3ce4122
comment
Dynamic Loading: Elevator sequences help hide loading for the next area and enemies fill corridors to delay the player so the next area will be ready. However, people who swiftly bypass enemies or blaze through the area with the Speed Booster may find the door not opening right away and the game will literally throw up a "now loading" message on screen until the data is done loading. Thankfully, those are very brief. Other M also has to load everything when you start a saved game. It disguises the loading time by giving a recap of what happened previously in the game in the form of a text scroll. Once the game is ready to start, you can skip the summary if it's still playing. The game also used literal speed bumps—little ledges Samus vaults automatically to prevent the player from using the speed booster everywhere.

Post-Final Boss: MB, a.k.a. Madeline Bergman, who is revealed to be Mother Brain. The Metroid Queen is the main final boss, the last part is just a first-person thing and you just have to aim for the enemy (Madeline) in order for a cutscene to play. It only resembles a challenge due to being backed up by four unique Elite Mooks (Desbrachian supersoldiers) who can still be knocked out of the way easily once you figure out the proper trick to them. However, there is a Playable Epilogue afterwards with its own True Final Boss, Phantoon.

comment
Hijacked by Ganon: The events aboard the Bottle Ship are the fault of MB, who is essentially a resurrected Mother Brain. The postgame is a more jarring and unexpected example. Remember Phantoon? A boss who only appeared in Super Metroid and was never heard from again? He takes control of the Bottle Ship in the postgame and, considering the creatures are still out to kill you, he may have helped MB cause the uprising from the background, making him the Greater-Scope Villain.

comment
Handwave: Adam disallows most of Samus' arsenal because it could easily injure his troops or civilians by accident. This doesn't explain why she goes without suit upgrades like the Varia suit and Gravity feature or mobility ones like the Grapple Beam, or why she continues not to activate these devices in dangerous environments.

comment
Gaiden Game: This is the only 3D game in the franchise not under the Prime banner. The game takes place between the events of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion and explores elements of Samus's past; mostly her time as a soldier working directly under the Federation before leaving to do solo contract work. While the game does the needed work to fit into the timeline as a "Metroid 3.5", just like Hunters, it has zero effect on the overarching story, which was exemplified by series producer Yoshio Sakamoto introducing Metroid Dread as the end to a five-game Myth Arc, not a six-game one.

comment
Continuity Snarl: When Samus is rendered unconscious, her suit disappears. However, Fusion and Corruption have prolongued sequences where Samus is knocked out without any consequences to her armour. The game claims that this is the first time that Samus has taken orders from the Federation since her youth. This completely ignores the events of most of the rest of the series, including Metroidnote Where the Federation sends her to destroy the Space Pirates' operations on Zebes, Metroid II: Return of Samusnote The Federation sends her to exterminate the Metroids on SR388, Metroid Prime 2: Echoesnote The Federation sends her to investigate the missing troopers on Aether, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruptionnote She works extensively with the Federation to stop the Space Pirates' plan to spread Phazon.

It doesn't exactly fit with From Nobody to Nightmare since she was Experimented on with the close intent of many other Mad Scientists. Compare What Measure Is a Non-Human? below.

Even in the Japanese voice acting, many characters (Samus included) uses lots of English loanwords that could be translated without problems like baby, princess, lady, etc.

Hailfire Peaks: The setting of Other M is, at heart, an Eternal Engine spacestation, but there are specific sectors within that combine their machinery with themed settings: It's done with Jungle Japes (Sector 1/Biosphere), Slippy-Slidey Ice World (Sector 2/Cryosphere), and Lethal Lava Land (Sector 3/Pyrosphere). Elements of Abandoned Laboratory can also be seen all throughout each sector, in the form of the various containment tanks and maintenance rooms between the environmental rooms.

comment
Caretaking is Feminine: The game emphasizes the femininity of the protagonist Samus Aran and the villain Mother Brain by placing them in a plot centering around motherhood, in contrast to prior games where their gender was incidental. For Mother Brain, the Galactic Federation builds an android named MB based on Mother Brain's design, which they intend to have develop a maternal relationship with Metroid bioweapons so that the GF can use her to control them. As for Samus, she appears in more scenes out of armor, recounts sexism in the GF military, and characterizes her feelings towards the fallen Baby Metroid as explicitly maternal, as opposed to previous games where she was rarely seen unarmored and her feelings towards the Baby Metroid were implied to be affectionate but not familial.

Anti-Climax: The game sets up several sub-plots only for most of them to be resolved off-screen by someone other than Samus. The plot twist of Sector Zero existing as a breeding area for Metroids. Samus never enters it, as Adam steps in to blow it up from the inside. The revelation that there is a traitor among Adam's team. Samus herself never learns his true identity, and he is killed by MB. After all the build up to the final battle against the true antagonist, Samus has no input whatsoever, as MB is frozen by Madeline, after which The Cavalry finishes her off. Samus' quest to defeat Ridley once and for all and avenge Anthony's death is cut short when he is killed by the Metroid Queen.

Arbitrary Mission Restriction
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_ef2c9b2d
comment
Arbitrary Mission Restriction: Played straight with a paper-thin justification. In most Metroid games, Samus finds new items throughout the game which she uses to power up her suit and then has for the rest of the game. In this game, Samus has ALL her powers from the beginning, but depending on the point in the story or section of the game, she can only use the power-ups her commanding officer Adam Malkovitch allows her to use. The restriction fails to stay consistent when Samus finds a brand new power-up like the Diffusion Beam, and immediately activates it without waiting for Adam's permission. And then, while Samus does activate a power on her own after losing contact with Adam, even after Adam dies, leaving Samus with no supervision, Samus still refuses to turn on the Power Bomb until she absolutely has to use it.

Emergency Weapon: The pistol (now called the "Paralyzer" thanks to Super Smash Bros. Brawl) returns in this game during the epilogue when Samus has to race out of the Bottle Ship in her Zero Suit. This time, it is capable of stunning Pirates even with uncharged shots, but it's still pretty useless in combat. It's really only used in the sequence to short-circuit closed gates and open them.

comment
Oddball in the Series: Aside from being the only 3D game that is not first-person, it's also the game with the most emphasis on plot and cutscenes, as well as the first to feature Samus' melee abilities outside of the non-canon Super Smash Bros. (Metroid: Samus Returns and Metroid Dread would also feature a melee counterattack, but it was more streamlined and downplayed compared to Other M).

comment
Futile Hand Reach: At the very beginning of the game, we are taken back to the battle against Mother Brain at the very end of Super Metroid, with the Baby Metroid shielding Samus as it uses the life energy it stole to recharge her Power Suit and bring her back from near death. Just as Mother Brain is about to unleash a Hyper Beam, the Baby lets go of Samus and charges forward, taking the entirety of the blast. As Samus enters a Slow-Motion Fall she reaches her hand up towards the Baby, only to see it explode before her eyes.

Jungle Japes: Sector 1, the Biosphere, which is mostly an artificial jungle. Plants try to eat you and stuff like that. The backgrounds are pretty, but they are artificial, and once you find the generators, soon replaced by the space station architecture.

 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_f516f938
comment
Never Found the Body: The assassin known only as "the Deleter" shoots one of the Federation troops in the back and tosses his corpse into a pool of lava. The victim's identity is not shown in the cutscene, but Keiji Misawa is the only member of the squad left unaccounted for by the end of the game. His corpse is never recovered for obvious reasons, and in the epilogue he is listed as "missing in action".

comment
Motherly Scientist: The game features Dr. Madeline Bergman, director of the Bottle Ship's secret bioweapons program. To control the Metroids that they had been breeding, her team decided to create an AI based on Mother Brain. They placed the AI, dubbed "MB", in a gynoid body under the belief that it would foster a maternal bond with the Metroids, which seemed less risky than a dominance-based relationship. Naturally, the scientists started anthropomorphizing their creation, to the point where Madeline treated her as a daughter and named her Melissa. However, unlike most examples of this trope, Madeline's maternal feelings weren't strong enough to persuade her to stand up for MB when things went pear-shaped; faced with MB developing emotions, the scientists opted to alter her programming rather than risk her jeopardizing the missions, and Madeline stood on the sidelines rather than intervene. MB did not take this well, and what had been fairly minor rebellion up until that point became genocidal rage.

No-Gear Level: There's one at the end of the playable epilogue where Samus takes off her suit (and thus, all her gear) after she gets what she is looking for, only to get interrupted by a count down sequence. Samus chooses to escape in her unarmored state using nothing but the stun pistol.

comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: After the destruction of Sector Zero, the access corridor starts to break off, leading to explosive decompression. While you're escaping, you see several Zebesians trying to cling on for dear life in the corridor — if you so wish, you can help speed them to their demise by shooting them, which causes them to lose their grip and fly off into space. There is a hallway early in the game with several Grogranch enemies stomping around outside it. After receiving the Wave Beam, Samus can shoot them through the windows with total impunity for some catharsis.

Sequence Breaking
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_fb111d49
comment
Sequence Breaking: Unlike other Metroid games, there is exactly one minor instance where you can do this here; an Energy Tank can be obtained earlier than usual in an area that would normally require the Speed Booster to reach in the Cryosphere by utilizing a break in an overhead Morph Ball passage and repeatedly interrupting Samus's spin jump by shooting.

Removed Achilles' Heel
 Metroid: Other M (Video Game) / int_fd7a9d0
comment
Other M also features, as a major plot point, the idea that the Federation has been engineering unfreezable Metroids. Except the game features many other Metroids that are fully freezable. It attempts to justify them as "control groups" or "too young", but it ends up casting major doubts on the idea, especially since we never actually see an unfreezable Metroid and Adam acknowledges he doesn't know if the idea is true. The only evidence is a corpse apparently left by a Metroid in a cold area. And there's the idea that Metroids are completely invincible when not frozen is a Retcon (they can be killed by other means in most of the games) and even contradicts the ending of Super Metroid (and by extension, Other M's opening cinematic), where a powerful Metroid was killed by Mother Brain without using ice of any kind. It ends up making Adam's fate look like something of a Stupid Sacrifice.

Dialogue Reversal: Adam was known to end any order he gave to Samus with "Any objections, Lady?". Whatever the fans may have thought about him, especially compared to his Metroid Fusion persona, at one point he goes missing with the Deleter presumably on his tail. At one point, Samus reaches a bridge, only for someone on the other side to raise it and render her unable to cross it... whereupon she decides to self-authorize the Space Jump and Screw Attack.
