In the year 20X5, a deep-space research vessel discovered a dangerous parasite on the planet SR388 named "Metroid". The research vessel was attacked by Space Pirates who stole the Metroid for use as a bio-weapon. All assaults on the Space Pirate fortress planet of Zebes failed. As a last resort, a lone Space Hunter named Samus Aran is sent deep into the planet to neutralise the threat.
Samus must explore the cavern mazes of Zebes, powering up the Power Suit to reach new areas and take down the leaders of the Space Pirates. Only then can Samus face the Mother Brain and her army of Metroids in a battle that will decide the fate of the galaxy.
