Following the defeat of the Space Pirates, the remaining forces turned to Dark Samus as their leader. Dark Samus began to attack Federation planets by corrupting them using Phazon meteors called Leviathan Seeds.
After battling Dark Samus on Norion, Samus wakes up on a Federation ship, where she learns she is being corrupted by the Phazon. She is sent on missions to other corrupted planets where contact has been lost.
You must solve puzzles and gain new abilities to open pathways to new areas. Only by eradicating the Phazon and Dark Samus can you bring an end to the corruption.

By entering key combinations in Samus's ship, you can access secret messages from a number of the staff members who worked on the game. The messages are in Japanese, but they have been translated by the website Metroid Recon. The translation are given below:
"Hello, this is Iwata from Nintendo. A president has to take things really seriously, even if it doesn't seem like it. It's understandable if you lose weight from stress... But I get fatter instead. Nobody thinks I'm taking it seriously."
"Ah, can you hear me? This is Miyamoto. All of you playing Metroid, can you hear me? It's fun, isn't it? I've also worked on many (Metroid) games, but this one is the best yet, don't you think? Make sure to play it all the way to the end. See you!"
"Hello everyone. This is Sakamoto from Nintendo. Did you enjoy Metroid Prime 3? Samus's mission is not over with these missions but will continue to go on. Please look forward to waiting for the next one! METOROIDO OMOROIDO! (Metroid is fun!)"
"Hello everyone, this is the Prime series's producer Tanabe. The Metroid Prime series is over but I am going to do my best for the next series!"
"Hello to everyone who is playing Metroid Prime 3! This is Kenji Yamamoto. If you listen carefully to the music, you might notice that some parts of the soundtrack in Metroid Prime 3 are the same as those in older Metroids. That's what I expect and why I want to arrange the music."

On the Space Pirate homeworld, you can scan a computer panel that reads:
"Project Metroid Dread almost complete."
This was believed to refer to Metroid Dread, a rumoured Nintendo DS Metroid title that was never officially announced.
However, in the Japanese version, the reference is changed to "Dread-Class Turret", and Retro Studios confirmed that the comment was purely a coincidence, and not intended to refer to the rumoured game.
