Phaaze

PHAAZE

Throughout the Metroid Prime franchise, one single aspect is a constant, and arguably the true main villain of the trilogy: the element Phazon. So, naturally, a stage roster wouldn’t be complete without at least one stage representing that.

This stage will be set on the planet, with jagged lopsided platforms and Phazon covering everything. Players will have to watch their steps as the stuff will be damaging to them whenever they touch it. At least one swinging Phazon tentacle will appear as well.

Norion

NORION

Metroid Prime 3 starts out with a memorable scene of Samus and three other bounty hunters joining the Federation in an epic final battle against the Space Pirates at their base on the planet Norion. This scene has always stuck out in my mind as the most memorable scene of the game.

This stage will take place in the middle of that battle, on the large bridge where a major part of the assault takes place. Here and there, Pirate and Federation landing vessels will appear behind the bridge, with soldiers on board shooting at the players.

Liquid Phazon

LIQUID PHAZON

After being forced to put down each one of her three friends, Samus and the Federation forces find the way to the Planet Phaaze, the origin of all the Phazon causing these problems. Samus, inoculated against the Phazon’s effects, descends onto the planet to destroy it, finding several patches of it moving around.

These patches are referred to as Liquid Phazon, and act much like standard enemies on any other planet.

As a fighter, the Liquid Phazon will move around like a pile of goop, hopping to get around. Its moveset will pull from its demonstrated abilities as well as the common properties of Phazon in general.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Labor Golem

LABOR GOLEM

Searching around Bryyo, Samus also finds hulking machines that she can roll into as a morph ball and control to perform various tasks.

These are the Labor Golems, huge helper machines designed to do things no ordinary being can. Though they primarily act as assists to Samus, a War Golem acts as a boss later on.

As fighters, the Labor Golems will be big and heavy, containing Samus’s spinning morph ball inside of them. Their moveset will pull from all of their tasks as well as the War Golem’s boss fight.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

Steambot

STEAMBOT

The hunters and the troops fight long and hard, but finally, the pirates are defeated and Meta Ridley falls into a deep hole, hopefully to his death. Samus and her friends stand triumphantly, only for Dark Samus to appear and attack them all with Phazon. When Samus awakens, she learns that she had been heavily infected with the stuff but she had pulled through. Her companions had all recovered before her and gone on to various assignments but had never been heard back from. Samus travels back to Norion, finding that Rundas has been driven mad by the Phazon and frozen the entire base, and she is forced to put him down. She then tracks Ghor to the planet Bryyo, where he has taken control of the machines left behind by the planet’s ancient people.

These machines come with many names, but the most prominent of them are the Steambots, robots running on steam power. These act as the primary enemies throughout this world.

As fighters, the Steambots will pull from all forms of Bryyonian technology, including the Steamlords that control them. Their moveset will pull from all robots seen.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

Berserker Lord

BERSERKER LORD

The battle begins as the four bounty hunters and the Federation troops behind them are deployed to the planet Norion, where a climactic battle begins. In the midst of the fighting, Samus encounters more Space Pirates mutated and enhanced by Phazon.

These are the Berserker Knights and Lords, similar to the Phazon Elites of Metroid Prime, but now heavily disfigured and driven mad by the dangerous substance. They appear frequently throughout the game.

As fighters, the Berserker Lords will be fast, strong, and heavy, rampaging around the stage with reckless abandon. Their moveset will pull from their various boss battles.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

Aurora Unit

AURORA UNIT

Once all four hunters are brought together, they are debriefed on the plan by a large brain-like structure, an AI designed by the Federation to spearhead complex military operations.

These are the Aurora Units, filling the role of tutorial and exposition for Samus throughout the game. Toward the end, Samus would even find that one of the Aurora Units ended up corrupted by Phazon as well, and would have to fight and destroy it.

As a fighter, the Aurora Unit would pull most of its moveset from the corrupted unit fought at the end of the game. It would be floaty, but distinctly powerful in most of its attacks.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

Gandrayda

GANDRAYDA

Samus is at first confused to see herself standing in the room, only to find that the third bounty hunter is in fact a shapeshifter.

This is Gandrayda, the third of the bounty hunters hired to help take down the Space Pirates. After her corruption, Gandrayda uses her shapeshifting abilities to impersonate a friendly soldier and stick close to Samus.

As a fighter, Gandrayda would be fast and agile in her normal form, and would follow in the footsteps of other shapeshifters like Ditto and Doopliss, her moveset pulling from whoever she is copying.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

Rundas

RUNDAS

Finishing her training and entering a command room, Samus encounters two more bounty hunters, the first of them, an ice-wielding Phrygisian.

This is Rundas, another of the bounty hunters hired by the Federation against the Space Pirates. He is the most friendly and helpful to Samus, and he too succumbs to Dark Samus’s corruption.

As a fighter, Rundas would be entirely ice-based, his moveset pulling from his boss fight against Samus and his abilities used alongside her. His movements would be quick and slippery, and his best bet would be to freeze his opponents.

Likelihood rating: Good possibility.

Ghor

GHOR

Metroid Prime 3 opens with Samus awakening on a Federation starship and being put through some training. As she does so, she sees other bounty hunters training in nearby rooms.

The first she sees is Ghor, a robot bounty hunter hired alongside Samus, Rundas, and Gandrayda to help the Federation in their fight against the Space Pirates on Norion. He pilots a larger robotic mech, and would end up corrupted by Dark Samus just like his compatriots.

As a fighter, Ghor would rely on his larger mech and weapons, being heavy but with powerful projectiles. His moveset would pull from his abilities shown fighting alongside Samus as well as his boss battle against her.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

Dark Samus

DARK SAMUS

Samus will defeat and seemingly destroy the Metroid Prime, leaving Tallon IV and heading off to her next adventure. From the pools of Phazon where the Metroid’s body fell however, a new form would rise, a form reshaped to perfectly match the only being that had ever bested it: Samus herself.

This new being would come to be known as Dark Samus, a being of Phazon and Metroid DNA that scanned Samus’s suit and abilities and recreated them with its own biology. Dark Samus would pose a threat in the two following games, acting as the main villain and instigator of both threats.

As a fighter, Dark Samus would be very similar in stats to Samus herself, doing its best to copy her in all aspects. Its moveset would pull from all battles fought with Samus across both games that it appears as the main villain in.

Likelihood rating: Already in.

Meta Ridley

META RIDLEY

Although most of its contemporaries made the jump to the 3D Era with the Nintendo 64, for better or worse, the Metroid series opted to wait until the Game Cube to release its very first 3D title, Metroid Prime. The game was set in between Metroid and Metroid II, with Samus responding to a distress call from a downed frigate orbiting the planet Tallon IV. After finding the frigate infested with parasites and cleaning them out, Samus spotted her old nemesis Ridley flying down to the planet’s surface.

This is actually Meta Ridley, a cyborg version of Ridley after he was rebuilt from his injuries during his fight with Samus in the original game. Meta Ridley would function as Ridley’s primary throughout the entire Metroid Prime series, not regaining his full body until Super Metroid.

As a fighter, Meta Ridley would be similar in stats and design to Ridley himself, though a bit heavier and a bit more powerful. His moveset would pull from his various battles, leaning into the differences between the two forms.

Likelihood rating: (Kinda) already in.

Space Pirate

SPACE PIRATE

Not too far in, Samus will have her first canonical encounter with the main grunts of her enemy forces, the Space Pirates, also called Zebesians.

Though they will vary in appearance from time to time, Space Pirates tend to be large reptilian creatures with large claws and often wielding large blades on their arms. These creatures serve under Ridley and will do anything to seize control of the galaxy.

As fighters, Space Pirates will be fast and agile, with cutting moves that strike with pinpoint accuracy. Their moveset will pull from all of their major appearances in nearly every game of the series.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

Metroid Prime Trilogy

METROID PRIME TRILOGY

Now, we come to Metroid Prime Trilogy, a compilation of the three main Metroid Prime games released together in one game. This game came only two years after Corruption released, and on the same console, so really there wasn't any major additions, it was pretty much the three games lifted straight onto the disc, with maybe some graphical upgrades here and there.

That's really all I've got to say! Here's what we've got so far:

Characters:

Zero Suit Samus: emergency pistol, crawl, backflip

Ridley: missiles, claws, fly fireballs, stomp, grab

Metroid Queen: laser beam, green orbs

Omega Metroid: laser beam, laser beam at ground, leap, claw, tail pound

Chozo: orb, float, shock

Space Pirates

Stages:

Space Pirate Mothership

Chozo Ruins

SR388

Thanks for reading! Next up, we finish off the remakes with a recent pleasant surprise!

Character Sheet: Labor Golem

LABOR GOLEM

And now, we have another set of characters, this time hailing from the Prime series of games. You'd think a series like Metroid wouldn't have that many, but we're pretty close to fifty now. Our new ones include:

1. Federation Mech

2. Rundas

3. Ghor

4. Gandrayda

5. Noxus

6. Sylux

7. Spire

8. Trace

9. Kanden

10. Weavel

11. U-Mos

12. Aurora Unit

13. Dark Samus

14. Meta Ridley

15. Metroid Prime

16. Emperor Ing

17. Gorea

18. Chozo Ghost

19. Steambot

20. Ing

21. Liquid Phazon

22. Quad

23. Phazon Elite

24. Berserker Lord

25. Labor Golem

Finally, let's cover the Bryyonian golems found in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, giant machines built by the ancient Bryyonians that could be controlled and used for specific tasks by Samus or her enemies. These golems came in two types, the Labor Golems, which Samus used primarily, and War Golems, which functioned as bosses.

Across both classes, they could be seen performing shoulder bashes, jumping into the air, using a battering ram, breathing fire and ice, shooting energy beams, picking up giant blocks, stomping on the ground, flying into a rage, and shooting orbs.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Fire Breath

The golem will open its mouth and breathe fire at its opponents. The ice could factor in here too.

Side B: Battering Ram

Could be the shoulder bash too, but I like having the item. The golem will heft it and charge forward, smashing through anything in its way.

Up B: Leap

The golem will jump high into the air and come back down with a heavy stomp, creating a small shockwave in doing so.

Down B: Block Lift

The golem will heft a very large block and drop it back down again, crushing anyone under it.

Final Smash: Mogenar

The big boss golem Mogenar will appear on the stage and start attacking those on it.

Entrance: Samus's morph ball will roll into it and activate it.

Taunts: Up, it will light up and raise its head. Side, it will raise a hand up like a platform. Down, it will seem to power down and sit again.

Kirby Hat: Its head armor.

Kart: Basically just a golem with wheels.

Special Move: It will be able to charge and break through any stage obstacle.

Spirit Battle: A giant battle on Norion.

Victory Screen: It will complete its task and go back to its resting phase.

Losing Screen: It will lose power and shut down completely.

Color Swaps: Its normal brown design, a black design, a red design, a blue design, a green design, a silver design, a gold design, and Mogenar.

Thanks for reading! Now, let's put our roster together!

Character Sheet: Berserker Lord

BERSERKER LORD

And now, we have another set of characters, this time hailing from the Prime series of games. You'd think a series like Metroid wouldn't have that many, but we're pretty close to fifty now. Our new ones include:

1. Federation Mech

2. Rundas

3. Ghor

4. Gandrayda

5. Noxus

6. Sylux

7. Spire

8. Trace

9. Kanden

10. Weavel

11. U-Mos

12. Aurora Unit

13. Dark Samus

14. Meta Ridley

15. Metroid Prime

16. Emperor Ing

17. Gorea

18. Chozo Ghost

19. Steambot

20. Ing

21. Liquid Phazon

22. Quad

23. Phazon Elite

24. Berserker Lord

25. Labor Golem

Today, let's cover a character that is an extension of the idea set up by the Phazon Elite in the first Metroid Prime. Berserker Lords, and Berserker Knights, are Space Pirates that have been so heavily enhanced with Phazon that they have mutated into giant hulking monstrosities that pose a serious problem for Samus and her allies.

Berserker Lords and Knights have multiple powerful attacks at their disposal. They can throw energy balls and shoot laser beams, spit out blobs of phazon, breathe pure energy from their mouths, and use their massive claws to attack. Plenty to work with, so let's go.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Energy Breath

The Berserker will breathe energy from its mouth like a dragon at its opponents.

Side B: Laser Beams

It will fire twin laser beams as projectiles.

Up B: Berserker Rage

It will leap up into the air and slash down with its claws angrily.

Down B: Phazon Blob

It will spit out a blob of Phazon on the ground that will splash on anyone it hits and sit on the stage for a while.

Final Smash: Boss Battle

The Berserker will grow up to its larger boss size and start rampaging around the stage.

Entrance: It will crash through a wall and roar.

Taunts: Up, it will roar at the sky. Side, it will claw side to side, looking for a fight. Down, it will stop and heave for a moment.

Kirby Hat: The top carapace part of their heads.

Kart: Based on one on all fours in attack mode.

Special Move: It will leave a blob of Phazon sitting on the track for anyone to drive over.

Spirit Battle: A giant battle on Norion.

Victory Screen: It will stomp a couple of Federation fighters down and then roar over them.

Losing Screen: Its dying animation will play out.

Color Swaps: A brown knight, a blue knight, a red knight, a green knight, a yellow knight, a black knight, and both of the Lords you come across.

Thanks for reading! Next up, a couple of robots Samus herself controls.

Character Sheet: Liquid Phazon

LIQUID PHAZON

And now, we have another set of characters, this time hailing from the Prime series of games. You'd think a series like Metroid wouldn't have that many, but we're pretty close to fifty now. Our new ones include:

1. Federation Mech

2. Rundas

3. Ghor

4. Gandrayda

5. Noxus

6. Sylux

7. Spire

8. Trace

9. Kanden

10. Weavel

11. U-Mos

12. Aurora Unit

13. Dark Samus

14. Meta Ridley

15. Metroid Prime

16. Emperor Ing

17. Gorea

18. Chozo Ghost

19. Steambot

20. Ing

21. Liquid Phazon

22. Quad

23. Phazon Elite

24. Berserker Lord

25. Labor Golem

Now, we come to the most prominent . . . aspect of the Metroid Prime series, a chemical element originating from the Planet Phaaze, but found on meteorites that crashed on planets like Tallon IV. Phazon has many properties that allow it to mutate and enhance those it affects, though it also has a strong corrupting property as well. In Metroid Prime 3, Samus even encounters some that seems to be alive and moves about on its own.

The specific enemy called Liquid Phazon is capable of shooting blasts of Phazon, infecting those it touches with its influence, and spawning smaller grubs. We also should factor in the other properties of Phazon elsewhere in the series, like the meteors, the giant tentacles, and all the mutative and toxic properties.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Infection

The Liquid Phazon will fire a cloud of itself at its opponents, infecting them. The first will just poison them. The second will stun them. It takes three for them to fall under your control for a short time.

Side B: Phazon Beam

Just like Samus's own, the Liquid Phazon will be able to shoot a powerful beam as a projectile.

Up B: Spawn

The Liquid Phazon will squirt itself up high into the air, leaving behind a small patch of itself to crawl along the stage and infect others.

Down B: Phazon Tentacle

It will spawn one of those Phazon tentacles that will lash out and strike nearby opponents.

Final Smash: Phazon Meteor

Just like all of those seen throughout the series, a meteor will be shot from Phaaze with lots of Phazon on it, and it will crash into the stage.

Entrance: It will split off from a chunk of Phazon.

Taunts: Up, it will bloop upward, like a drip hitting water. Side, it will spew a cloud of itself around it. Down, it will wiggle around a bit.

Kirby Hat: Kirby will be made of the stuff.

Kart: Based on a meteor.

Special Move: It will infect fighters and slow them down by a lot.

Spirit Battle: A horde battle on Phaaze.

Victory Screen: Phazon will spread across the galaxy.

Losing Screen: The entire planet of Phaaze will be destroyed.

Color Swaps: The normal blue, a bright pink color, the purple I always imagined it was when only reading synopses, a sickly green, a bright yellow, red, eerie black, and pure white.

Thanks for reading! Next up, a fun rare type of enemy.

Character Sheet: Steambot

STEAMBOT

And now, we have another set of characters, this time hailing from the Prime series of games. You'd think a series like Metroid wouldn't have that many, but we're pretty close to fifty now. Our new ones include:

1. Federation Mech

2. Rundas

3. Ghor

4. Gandrayda

5. Noxus

6. Sylux

7. Spire

8. Trace

9. Kanden

10. Weavel

11. U-Mos

12. Aurora Unit

13. Dark Samus

14. Meta Ridley

15. Metroid Prime

16. Emperor Ing

17. Gorea

18. Chozo Ghost

19. Steambot

20. Ing

21. Liquid Phazon

22. Quad

23. Phazon Elite

24. Berserker Lord

25. Labor Golem

So, this one's a little weird, as it stems more from me noticing that during a specific chapter of Metroid 3, there are a lot of mechanoid-type enemies hanging around Elysia and working with Ghor. After some digging, they do all appear to fall under the Elysian banner, a race of sentient machines built by the Chozo on the planet which were corrupted by Phazon. These include Tinbots, Steambots, Steamlords, Defense Drones, Aerial Drones, Repair Drones, Databots, and Helios. I have chosen the name Steambot as they seem the best and most iconic version of them to go with.

Tinbots are the most basic, with small basic projectiles and the ability to spray steam to keep an enemy back. Steambots are bigger and tougher, with added missile launchers and the ability to spray steam in a circle. Steamlords are the leaders of these groups, and four of them are encountered with the ability to send out Steambots to attack. Defense Drones have a cannon, can split into two segments, and will electrify on contact. Aerial and Repair Drones can fix damage, Databots don't do much, and Helios is a boss controlling Swarmbots.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Steam Vent

The Steambot will spin and release a bunch of steam, forcing players and projectiles back and doing minor damage.

Side B: Missile Launcher

The Steambot will shoot a heat-seeking missile that will target the nearest opponent.

Up B: Swarmbots

A swarm of Swarmbots will circle the Steambot and pick it up, carrying it higher.

Down B: Repair Drone

An aerial repair drone will emerge and repair the Steambot, healing it of damage. This will take some time, so the drone could be damaged.

Final Smash: Helios

Helios and his swarm will appear on the stage, mostly recreating its boss battle.

Entrance: A Steamlord will activate the robot.

Taunts: Up, a Databot will appear and display a message. Side, the Steambot will let out a bunch of steam.

Kirby Hat: Based on their metallic faces.

Kart: Based on a Defense Drone.

Special Move: It will release a bunch of steam to push opponents and items away from it.

Spirit Battle: A horde battle on Norion.

Victory Screen: A Steamlord will rise and shut down the Steambot.

Losing Screen: They will spark and fall apart.

Color Swaps: A standard Steambot, a red one, a blue one, a standard Tinbot, a green one, a dark blue one, a Steamlord, a blue Steamlord.

Thanks for reading! Next up, the main enemies appearing in Metroid Prime 2!

Character Sheet: Meta Ridley

META RIDLEY

And now, we have another set of characters, this time hailing from the Prime series of games. You'd think a series like Metroid wouldn't have that many, but we're pretty close to fifty now. Our new ones include:

1. Federation Mech

2. Rundas

3. Ghor

4. Gandrayda

5. Noxus

6. Sylux

7. Spire

8. Trace

9. Kanden

10. Weavel

11. U-Mos

12. Aurora Unit

13. Dark Samus

14. Meta Ridley

15. Metroid Prime

16. Emperor Ing

17. Gorea

18. Chozo Ghost

19. Mechanoid

20. Ing

21. Liquid Phazon

22. Quad

23. Phazon Elite

24. Berserker Lord

25. Labor Golem

Next up, we have Ridley's distinctive appearance throughout all of the Metroid Prime series, rebuilt with cyborg enhancements after being heavily wounded in his battle with Samus in the first game. Somehow, he grew the rest of his body back for Super Metroid, but let's not question that part, shall we? He appears throughout the first game as, more or less, the main villain behind the Tallon IV operation, and then appears at the beginning of Corruption, leading the Space Pirates in their epic battle against the Federation on Norion.

In this form, he could fly as usual, fire laser beams and drop bombs, slam on the ground, swipe with his claws, dash forward, spit fireballs, use his wings as a shield, fire a laser blast and an explosive blast, bite, breathe fire, and spin his tail around really fast. Similar in many ways to his regular appearance, but souped up just a bit with technology.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Laser Blast

While the fire breath is very much his normal form's forte, we will be going with a laser blast for this form just to differentiate it.

Side B: Tail Spin

He will lash out with his long metallic tail and sweep it rapidly around himself, tripping up anyone nearby.

Up B: Hyper Wings

He will shoot straight up into the air, using his cybernetic wings to fly higher and faster than his normal form would. He would also have super armor during the ascent.

Down B: Bombard

He would raise up into the air and drop bombs directly below him that would detonate on impact.

Final Smash: High Speed Chase

I based this one on the chase battle from Brawl, since its so iconic, and it would match but also be distinct from Ridley's Final. The opponent would land on Samus's ship as it races through a shaft, with Meta Ridley racing in behind it and slashing the ship out of the air.

Entrance: He will slam down hard on the ground from above.

Taunts: Up, he will raise up and flap his cybernetic wings. Side, he will get down and roar loudly. Down, he will wrap himself in his wings for a second.

Kirby Hat: Like Ridley's but with the cyborg parts.

Kart: Based on a Space Pirate ship from Corruption, or flying.

Special Move: He will drop bombs from beneath him.

Spirit Battle: A giant battle on Frigate Orpheon.

Victory Screen: He will roar as Space Pirates move forward with guns loaded.

Losing Screen: His body will start to explode and he will fall away down a long shaft.

Color Swaps: All of the Ridley colors, but with contrasting colors on the cyborg parts.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Dark Samus is back . . . kinda.

Character Sheet: Dark Samus

DARK SAMUS

And now, we have another set of characters, this time hailing from the Prime series of games. You'd think a series like Metroid wouldn't have that many, but we're pretty close to fifty now. Our new ones include:

1. Federation Mech

2. Rundas

3. Ghor

4. Gandrayda

5. Noxus

6. Sylux

7. Spire

8. Trace

9. Kanden

10. Weavel

11. U-Mos

12. Aurora Unit

13. Dark Samus

14. Meta Ridley

15. Metroid Prime

16. Emperor Ing

17. Gorea

18. Chozo Ghost

19. Mechanoid

20. Ing

21. Liquid Phazon

22. Quad

23. Phazon Elite

24. Berserker Lord

25. Labor Golem

And now, we come to the (technically) titular character of the Metroid Prime series, and the primary antagonist overall. Dark Samus began life as the Metroid Prime, a Metroid mutated by Phazon on the planet Tallon IV, until she was defeated by Samus and ended up scanning and copying her power suit. Dark Samus then spent the next two games hounding Samus, infecting three of her friends and using them to spread Phazon throughout the galaxy.

Although an echo fighter was a perfectly reasonable move on Smash's part, Dark Samus's battles across the series are diverse and varied in the abilities she shows off. First, she has lasers, beams and waves of dark energy, the ability to surge forward at high speed, shields, the ability to disappear and turn invisible, the morph ball, hyperbeam, and spray beam abilities, the ability to float, energy orbs she can use as projectiles, blasts and explosions of phazon, a jetpack, tentacles and pillars that sprout out of the ground, and the ability to warp, absorb energy, and duplicate herself. The real trouble here is picking just four.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Phazon Blast

She will shoot a blast of Phazon at her opponents, similar to Samus's own arm cannon. The biggest difference though is that when it hits, it will start to make the player sluggish and wear down their health for a short time.

Side B: Phazon Tentacles

Dark Samus will raise her arms and glowing blue tentacles will burst from the ground around her, throwing anyone nearby upward.

Up B: Warp

Dark Samus will warp and teleport to a new location on stage.

Down B: Duplication

Dark Samus will split herself into three, which will leap outward and then rush back together, damaging any in their way when they do so.

Final Smash: Phazon Meteor

One of the Phazon Meteors from Corruption will come crashing onto the stage, demolishing everything in its path.

Entrance: Dark Samus will rise from a blob of Phazon.

Taunts: Up, she will float into the air and glow with Phazon. Side, she will clench her fist and then swipe sideways. Down, she will briefly take on her X-ray-looking appearance.

Kirby Hat: Her helmet.

Kart: Based on a dark version of Samus's ship.

Special Move: She will leave a trail of Phazon behind her that will spread across the track and slow players down.

Spirit Battle: One-on-one on Phaaze.

Victory Screen: Phazon will spread across the world with Dark Samus floating in the center of it.

Losing Screen: Dark Samus will start to break down and disappear, losing her form.

Color Swaps: Her normal colors, an offbrand Samus color, a pink color, a green color, a white color, a gold color, a black color more in line with the dark creatures of Planet Aether, and her X-ray-looking form.

Thanks for reading! Our old friend Ridley, back for a second helping.
