Dai Grepher, if you're trying to convince me that you are right, stop. It will never work. I know what I know, and what I know is the truth from reliable sources. You are an idiot for not listening to, ignoring, or twisting the meaning of those sources

Retcons
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Metroid: Zero Mission contains a number of definite or perceived retcons to the Metroid storyline. First and foremost are the differences in the appearance of areas shared directly with Super Metroid. These include the area of original Brinstar where the player begins this game, the escape shaft and Mother Brain's chamber in Tourian, and various areas in Crateria.
A significant possible retcon involves the Space Pirate Mothership and Chozodia, areas which Samus explores at the end of this game. In Super Metroid, there was a Wrecked Ship located at approximately the same location on Zebes, but the manual and other sources stated that this ship was left by cosmonauts who crash-landed on the planet in the distant past. In addition, the ruins of Chozodia are not present in Super Metroid, nor is there enough apparent room for them between Crateria and the Wrecked Ship. The Space Pirate Mothership contains a number of characteristics apparently meant to identify it with the Wrecked Ship, including the canister-shaped workbots found in several rooms. There are many possible explanations to avoid retcons here, but all are fan conjecture.
In this game, Kraid is as large as he was in Super Metroid. It had previously been assumed by most fans that Kraid's increase in size in the latter game was due to some type of genetic engineering. In addition, this game contains no decoy "Fake Kraid," which is a departure from a short but celebrated tradition.
Likewise, it had previously been assumed that Samus Aran's arsenal and skills had increased in complexity over time. Zero Mission now shows us that Samus has been using the same types of suit powerups with all of their abilities since the beginning.
Zero Mission establishes as a fact in the series that the Chozo once lived on Zebes and that Samus was raised there as a child. These details had never been explicitly mentioned in games themselves before, but had been revealed in various other materials, such as the manual for Metroid Prime and the Nintendo Power comic series. |
this bunch of data sounds oddly like the info that Dai Grepher was pushing on us earlier in this topic. Apperently, someone didn't read the E-Manga. It clearly stated that Samus was raised on Zebes by the Chozo.
Another thing: it states that there is no remanant of the Chozodian Ruins in SM. when the space pirate mothership blew up, it destroyed most of the ruins and what was left was sealed off from any entry. That is a highly plausable theory to explain this absence.
