** There's also Ominous chanting during certain parts of the game meant to raise tension--such as when the Space Pirates first show up after a long segment of [[NothingIsScarier absolutely nothing happening]].

And speaking of that last part:

* NothingIsScarier:  When Samus first arrives on Zebes, the music, sound effects, and environment take on properties unique to this part of the game.  There are no enemies, the music is hushed and ominous, there's a thin haze in the air and vermin everywhere, as if the place hasn't been disturbed or set foot upon in ''years''.  This lasts for at least three sections of the game, until you return from Brinstar back to Old Tourian, and all of a sudden Space Pirates are everywhere, and a Chozo Statue (actually a [[ChestMonster "Torizo"]]) suddenly wakes up and attacks you!

And another one I came across:
* AlwaysABiggerFish:  In Tourian, Samus runs across a room where several invulnerable enemies lay in wait for her--only to be promptly attacked and sucked dry by a Metroid.
