Zebes Painting

"Planet Zebes... I called this place home once, in peaceful times, long before evil haunted the caverns below." -Samus Aran Zebes is a recurring planet in the Metroid series. After her home on K-2L was destroyed by a Space Pirate invasion, the Chozo took Samus to Zebes, their homeworld. There, according to the manga, Samus was infused with Chozo blood and technology, allowing her to utilize the Power Suit. Samus trained with the Power Suit under her Chozo elders, especially Old Bird. The planet was later colonized by Space Pirates. The planet is in the same system with Oormine II, Twin Tabula, Bilium and Tallon IV. It is shown being orbited by two moons. Zebes is described to be a Class XIX planet, that is, inhospitable to most bioforms. The planet's crust is primarily Urithic ore, making it ideal for underground tunnel constructions, and a mass of 4.8 teratons. Zebes was originally a Chozo world, and was where they raised Samus. It was later infiltrated and colonized by Space Pirates. The Galactic Federation, fearing the Space Pirates would use their base on Zebes to multiply Metroids for use as a bioweapon, hired the Bounty Hunter Samus Aran to eradicate the Space Pirate presence on Zebes, as depicted in Metroid and its remake, Metroid: Zero Mission. After Samus successfully defeated the Space Pirates on Zebes and their leader, Mother Brain, she encounters the Pirates again in the same star system while responding to a distress signal emanating from one of their research frigates, which managed to escape the destruction. Some time later, Samus eradicates the Metroid infestation on SR-388, save for one specimen that she entrusted to the scientists on the Ceres Space Colony. That specimen was stolen by Ridley and taken back to Zebes, where the Space Pirates had reestablished much of their subterranean network. After the final battle with the rebuilt Mother Brain, the base suffers a massive explosion that results in the destruction of the planet. However, many of its lifeforms lived on onboard research stations like the Bottle Ship and the Biologic Space Labs Research Station, the former of which Samus likened to a "nightmare version" of the planet. Zebes is a Class XIX world, with a harsh environment that is inhospitable to most lifeforms. Its surface is under a constant deluge of Acid Rain, likely caused by natural phenomena such as volcanic activity or lightning. The planet's crust is composed primarily of Urithic Ore, making it especially suited for subterranean construction. Thus, several unique, underground areas sprawl beneath the surface of Zebes and are home to most of the planet's inhabitants. Source: Metroid Wiki Zebes had a vast network of underground caverns and labyrinths that led deep into the planet. A deep cavernous area in the planet known as Brinstar seemed to be the home of more than 60% of the planet's wildlife. Brinstar was home to a dense forest, yet the vegetation did not seem to have anything to photosynthesize. It can be said that the plants only needed water, or that the majority were carnivorous as indicated by the foliage in Kraid's Lair. It is also possible that Brinstar plants use chemosynthesis. Another oddity lies in the existence of huge deposits of water just below the surface. Labeled Maridia, the water from this realm spiraled in all directions, eating away at the land and creating huge and sometimes dangerously vast mazes of water. The ground "liquified" in some areas and formed deadly quicksand traps leading deeper into the planet. Crateria was the crust of Zebes. It was a bleak and rocky area that was constantly drenched by acid rain. This rain would affect bioforms not able to adapt to the harsh atmosphere (Samus Aran being an exception). There was also a Wrecked Ship that had landed in a pool on Crateria long ago, arriving with the first Chozo civilization on the planet. While they lived on the planet, the Chozo had constructed a Planetary Protection Shield to defend themselves from attack. However, it was later disabled by the Space Pirates with a micro black hole. Source: Wikitroid Metroid is a Japanese action-adventure game franchise created by Nintendo. Players control bounty hunter Samus Aran, who protects the galaxy from the Space Pirates and their attempts to harness the power of the parasitic Metroid creatures. The first Metroid was developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, making Samus one of the earliest female video game protagonists. It was followed by Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991) for the handheld Game Boy and Super Metroid (1994), developed with Intelligent Systems, for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The first 3D Metroid game, Metroid Prime (2002), was developed by Retro Studios for the GameCube, and was followed by two sequels. Following Team Ninja's Metroid: Other M (2010), the series went on a hiatus, before returning with Metroid: Samus Returns, a remake of Metroid II for the Nintendo 3DS, in 2017. Metroid combines the platforming of Super Mario Bros. and the adventure of The Legend of Zelda with a science fiction setting and an emphasis on nonlinear gameplay. As they explore, the player fights alien enemies and obtains power-up upgrades. The series is known for its atmosphere of solitude and foreboding, and there are few non-player characters to converse with. The first Metroid games were side-scrolling, while the Prime games adopt a first-person perspective. As of September 2012, the Metroid series had sold over 17.44 million copies. Metroid games are often ranked among the greatest of all time. The series has been represented in other Nintendo media, including the Super Smash Bros. series. Additional media includes soundtracks, comic books, and manga. Along with the 1997 Konami game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the early Metroid games defined the Metroidvania subgenre, inspiring other games with continuous, explorable side-scrolling levels. Samus Aran (Japanese: サムス・アラン, Hepburn: Samusu Aran) is the protagonist of the video game series Metroid by Nintendo. She was introduced in the 1986 video game Metroid. Samus Aran is an ex-soldier of the Galactic Federation who became a galactic bounty hunter, usually fitted with a powered exoskeleton that is equipped with weapons such as directed-energy weapons and missiles. Throughout the series, she executes missions given to her by the Galactic Federation while hunting the antagonistic Space Pirates and their leader Ridley, along with the parasitic energy-draining organisms called Metroids. Samus has appeared in every Metroid video game and has also been featured in media outside of the series, including in the Super Smash Bros. series and in the comic book continuation of Captain N: The Game Master. She is recognized as one of the earliest female video game protagonists and has remained a popular character. Metroid is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo. The first installment in the Metroid series, it was originally released in Japan for the Family Computer Disk System peripheral in August 1986. North America received a release in August 1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System in the Game Pak ROM cartridge format, with the European release following in January 1988. Set on the planet Zebes, the story follows Samus Aran as she attempts to retrieve the parasitic Metroidorganisms that were stolen by Space Pirates, who plan to replicate the Metroids by exposing them to beta rays and then use them as biological weapons to destroy Samus and all who oppose them. Metroid was developed by Nintendo Research & Development 1 (Nintendo R&D1) and Intelligent Systems. It was produced by Gunpei Yokoi, directed by Satoru Okada and Masao Yamamoto, and scored by Hirokazu Tanaka. The game's style, focusing on exploration and the search for power-ups that are used to reach previously inaccessible areas, has fundamentally influenced video game development including the Metroidvania genre. Its varied endings for fast completion times made it a popular game for speedrunning. It was lauded for being one of the first video games to feature a female protagonist. It was both a critical and commercial success. Reviewers praised its graphics, soundtrack, and tight controls. Nintendo Powerranked Metroid 11th on their list of the best games for a Nintendo console. On Top 100 Games lists, it was ranked 7th by Game Informer and 69th by Electronic Gaming Monthly. In 2004, the Game Boy Advance received a re-release as part of the Classic NES Series and a remake, Metroid: Zero Mission. It was emulated for the Virtual Console service on various Nintendo platforms since 2007 and on Nintendo Switch Online. Super Metroid is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. It is the third installment in the Metroid series, following the events of the Game Boy game Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991). Players control bounty hunter Samus Aran, who travels to planet Zebes to retrieve an infant Metroid creaturestolen by the Space Pirate leader Ridley. The gameplay focuses on exploration, with the player searching for power-ups that are used to reach previously inaccessible areas. It features new concepts to the series, such as the inventory screen, an automap, and the ability to fire in all directions. The development staff from previous Metroid games—including Yoshio Sakamoto, Makoto Kano and Gunpei Yokoi—returned to develop Super Metroid over the course of two years, with half a year earlier to gain approval for the initial idea. The developers wanted to make a true action game, and to set the stage for Samus's reappearance. The game received critical acclaim, praising its atmosphere, gameplay, music and graphics. It is often cited as one of the best video games of all time. Although the game did not sell well in Japan, it fared better in North America and had shipped 1.42 million copies worldwide by late 2003. Super Metroid, alongside Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997), is credited for establishing the "Metroidvania" subgenre, and has inspired other games within the genre. It also became popular among players for speedrunning. The game was followed by the 2002 release of Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime, ending the series' eight-year hiatus. It was emulated for the Virtual Console service on various Nintendo platforms since 2007 and as part of the Super NES Classic Edition microconsole in 2017. Source: Wikipedia
