Perhaps Dark Samus saw Ridley was not winning so decided it was a waste of time? Or perhaps Dark Samus spared Ridley his life and told him to go home and Dark Samus perhaps had a better plan for Ridley in the future or just in general. If he can avoid being ripped to shreds like in Zero Mission/Metroid despite it being shown on screen, then he also avoided it this time no differently.)Īnother point to be said is Ridley no longer needed cybernetics to help him recover from the battle he has with Samus as Omega Ridley because he forfeit the match and all of his Phazon was taken away from him by Dark Samus, leaving Ridley completely healed (From the Phazon) so he has no need for Cybernetics but ALSO fairly healed from the battle itself from premature cancelling of continuing the fight. (Hence him having no Phazon abilities OR cybernetics in Super Metroid. right before his death, his "Phazon" was collected by the Metroid Prime (Dark Samus) and Ridley is now fully recovered from the previous Phazon he was enhanced with so it causes his need for cybernetics and Phazon to vanish. Ghor and friends died after being consumed by Phazon but Ridley escaped. Wakes up, flies away or maybe even gets picked up by Space pirates before he wakes up, and is taken in to heal during the events of Metroid Prime 2. That would give it all away, now wouldn't it?Īlso Ridley is shot, thrown off of a cliff by Samus in his boss fight, knocked unconscious. But for now I would say they obviously aren't going to be saying "Roger that, Mother-Brain-from-Zebes-on-Zebes-that-Samus-thought-she-killed-but-didn't-and-is-still-there! ".

I would say she did not die on Zebes as Samus and company assumed.

Or obviously one of her disciples but still all commanded under the Brain Boii. Going from the removed version, I would say "Higher up" is no different than Mother Brain. They do not mention Mother Brain and as far as I remember any mentioning is considered a rewrite in which it was removed. In Prime Space pirated call their "higher commander" well. So here's MY conclusion for the REAL Metroid Time Line in all it's purity. Whether he thinks they are canon or not is debatable. He doesn't necessarily like the Prime games. Take that whichever way you wish to take it.

Sakamoto says he is not necessarily affiliated with the Prime series and, although he does not necessary say that are NON-CANON, he says he does not necessarily "Support" them. End of story.Īnother thing to get out of the way is what Sakamoto believes. I do not believe it was explicitly stated.) (Hunters goes somewhere in between those Prime games I guess. Fixing all plot holes and giving them proper explanations and canon. The point is to tell my personal solid conclusion on this series' chronology.
