History Awesome / SuperMetroid

* Even with the BittersweetEnding, there is one cathartic detail that remains. Samus killed the '''''entire Space Pirate army''''' in just a single day. She went to Zebes and plowed through ''every general, every {{Mook}} she could find.'' Phantoon, Draygon and Crocomire? Simple mere fodder to her. ''Kraid?'' He did survive Samus before, but she proved that lightning could not strike twice. [[spoiler: Though he does make an unexpected return in ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'', he's a prisoner of Raven Beak and horrifically tortured for no apparent reason other than Raven Beak's amusement.]] '''Ridley?''' The space dragon who is notorious for cheating death multiple times, the one who has hunted Samus more than any other pirate is finally, ''truthfully'' dead. '''''Mother Brain?''''' She came damn near close to getting rid of Samus herself, but one HeroicSecondWind and VillainousBreakdown later, it was her demise that finally put an end to the pirates. After Zebes suffered an EarthShatteringKaboom, even despite the planet being Samus' home and the last Metroid dying off, Samus could still celebrate a victory that was greater than any other she's ever had in the series, [[VideoGame/MetroidOtherM as temporary]] [[VideoGame/MetroidFusion as it was]]: '''''All''''' of the mainstay antagonists are '''''dead'''''.

** What makes this even better is that, if you avoid shooting her, you will see Mother Brain move around and shoot at you much more frequently. It doesn't make the fight any harder, it's another, especially satisfying piece of attention to detail -- Mother Brain knows full well what Samus has taken from her, and, after having killed the baby metroid, '''[[OhCrap is rightfully terrified.]]'''

* A great example of an awesome moment happens near the end of the game. After [[spoiler:the Super Metroid sacrifices its life to protect Samus and give her the Hyper Beam it stole from Mother Brain]], [[MamaBear Samus takes revenge by destroying Mother Brain for good]]; firing massive rainbow beams of death that blast the mechanical life vein around like a tetherball. Because the player was made to [[HopelessBossFight feel helpless against Mother Brain]] only moments beforehand when she turned into her hulking, NighInvulnerable second form -- as well as [[spoiler:her [[ItsPersonal killing the creature that had come to see Samus as its mother]]]] -- tipping the weight [[NowItsMyTurn over the player's favor have never felt so good.]]
