** Fighting Ridley wraps back around to being a [=CMoA=] for Samus once you learn her childhood encounter with the monster gave her a tremendous case of PTSD. This isn't exactly something that can be fought off; the trauma from a graphic event like K-2L massacre and the deaths of her parents is something that would linger even if Samus didn't have something that would always remind her of it, and Ridley's presence is not only a walking reminder of that terrible day, but he's the ''exact reason it happened''. The fact that Samus has fought him several times with this condition and [[VideoGame/MetroidOtherM (for the most part)]] didn't completely lose her mind, even as he just ''[[JokerImmunity kept on coming back,]]'' is not just impressive -- it's commendable.

commendable. And it makes it even more badass when she finally takes him down for good in ''Super Metroid'', ensuring that he will never menace the galaxy again and that no more children will have to suffer through the same pain she did.

* Even in the instruction booklet for the original ''VideoGame/{{Metroid|1}}'' game, Samus Aran was played up to be a man... or at the very least, a cyborg, with such lines as, "Even the Space Pirates fear ''his'' armor" no matter what language you read it in. But it was also hinted that Samus has a secret you can only find out if you're fantastic at the game, and sure enough, beating the game in a very short amount of time treats players to Samus stripping away said armor to reveal...

* The entire ''Metroid Prime Trilogy'' is going to be [[UpdatedRerelease re-released]] on the Wii, the first two games remade with Wiimote Controls, and the token system, the multiplayer mode from ''Echoes'' will still be in the game, and ''Corruption'' is also on the disc. And all of this is only 50 dollars? Three of the best games from the Gamecube and the Wii for 50 dollars, and they were improved...
** [[UpToEleven The pre-order deal nets you a T-Shirt]]. [[NoExportForYou Unfortunately that part of the deal is only valid in the US]].
** The US and EU are getting the ''Trilogy'' deal, rather than having to buy the first two primes separately under the ''New Play Control!'' rerelease scheme like Japan. Since the ''NPC!'' games have been about half the price of a regular Wii game, we're basically getting both games ''with'' Corruption ''thrown in for free!''
** Not to mention the fact that the game comes in a special metal case. Nintendo games being released with special casing happens about as often as Ridley stays dead.
** If the act of putting a disc in the drive could count as a Crowning Moment, then booting up ''Trilogy'' when you haven't played a ''Metroid'' game since the Super Nintendo is most certainly one. A disc with nine times the amount of quality playtime as your average new game on the market (allowing that a ''Prime'' game takes about 3 times as long to fully explore as your regular blockbuster). Cue the Metroidgasm!
** For people who missed out on the Wii release (since it was relatively limited), the Wii U download release was a great chance to finally play the updated versions.
* A meta-example: the first IGN pool [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny Samus Aran Vs Master Chief]]. Samus won with a whole 73%. Adding to the amazement, this was held right after the marketing frenzy that is ''Halo 3'' came out (meaning that Samus still won even with the Master Chief's massive PR campaign).
* On a more meta level, E3 2017's reveal that we would be getting not one, but '''''two''''' new Metroid games; A remake of ''Metroid II'' for the 3DS, and ''Metroid Prime 4'' for the Switch. After the... mixed reception that ''Other M'' and ''Federation Force'' received, many feared Samus's adventures had come to an end. And then E3 2017 happened. After seven years of the fans asking, ''begging'' for new, true Metroid content... Nintendo listened. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Samus. Is. BACK.]]
* Four years later, at E3 2021, Nintendo confirmed that ''Metroid Prime 4'' is still in development, but that they didn't feel comfortable sharing anymore than that. However, before fans could take to social media and forums to complain, Nintendo revealed that they ''did'' have another ''Metroid'' game to showcase.

And receiving [[UpdatedRerelease updated motion control schemes]], all of this is only 50 dollars? Three of the best games for $50USD? Even years later, it comes across as a surprisingly good deal from the Gamecube and the Wii for 50 dollars, and a company that knows they were improved...

* Most of the early SA-X encounters in ''Fusion'' involve you running and hiding because the feared evil twin can easily kill Samus with one shot of the Ice Beam and Super Missile (in that order). Once you have the Varia Suit, the Ice Beam won't freeze you (still hurts a lot, though), and by the time you meet SA-X again after getting said Varia Suit, you will be able to turn the tables on it by using Ice Missiles to freeze it. It only buys you about one second to run away, but it can give you a real "Who's laughing now?!" moment before running like hell to a hiding place.
** Not just that, but come the end of the game, you get to ''stomp that thing into the ground'' in a boss fight.
* Ridley's a walkin' [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome CMoA]], as well (albeit for reasons in which YMMV); he murders Samus' parents, sends her into a PTSD-induced ''breakdown'' which renders her helpless ''and taunts'' her with the idea that ''he devoured her mother's body'', and even when Samus thinks she's killed him, he returns for another go in her first mission, and seems to follow her like some kind of demon. He can give Samus a fight as a ''walking corpse'', and it takes a ''planet-sized explosion after exploding and falling into lava'' to canonically kill him. Then, ''immediately after'', he's cloned by the Galactic Federation and suddenly engages the still-traumatized Samus in the Pyrosphere, his apparent survival of Zebes' destruction only serving to remind Samus of her helplessness at the time of her parents' death at the claws of Ridley; and it takes until Ridley ''supposedly kills her crewmate Anthony'' before she can overcome her ''second'' mental breakdown and manage to compose herself enough to battle Ridley. His clone is killed by a Queen Metroid...but its corpse is still viable for use by an X when it's stored on the BSL, and it's only when Samus fights the X-infected corpse that he finally, ''finally'' dies. ''Goddamn''.
** [[BestBossEver Every time you fight Ridley]] is a moment of Awesome in itself. Unlike every other boss in the series, Ridley has no weak point, just a lot of health and really hard-to-avoid attacks. Therefore, the best course of action in every Ridley encounter is to attack relentlessly, and it never gets old.
** Fighting Ridley in general is also a [=CMoA=] for Samus once you learn her childhood encounter with the monster gave her a tremendous case of PTSD. This isn't exactly something that can be fought off; traumatic events like the deaths of Samus' parents will linger for an awfully long time, even when you think they're gone for good. The fact that Samus fought him several times with this condition and [[VideoGame/MetroidOtherM (for the most part)]] didn't completely lose her mind, even as he just ''[[JokerImmunity kept on coming back,]]'' is not just impressive -- it's commendable.
