* It never made sense why the Chozo would bother to create a species as dangerous as the Metroids. Sure, they’re powerful weapons, but they devour absolutely anything and rapidly metamorphose into extremely dangerous forms. Why bother with something the headache? This game answers that with the X-Parasites. The enemy that is not only powerful on its own, but capable of becoming absolutely anything. The only possible counter for this species is the ultimate predator: one that can devour anything that lives. The Metroids are a massive threat, but [[GodzillaThreshold a necessary last resort.]]

* SA-X's ability to be outsmarted and outmaneuvered is a by product of it's life. While it has all Samus' weapons it is without any experience using them in a fight or for exploration. It just blows up whatever is in it's way. The only thing it fights is Samus. It never has to learn to fight in ways other than throwing its power around. And when you get away from it by hiding in a room, you do so in a way that didn't blow stuff up. It can't think of ways to explore that don't involve destroying its environment.

Even when she backs her statement up by stating how Adam sacrificed himself to save her life, the AI trumps this by berating him for choosing to do so [[SenselessSacrifice because of the fact that it was ultimately unnecessary]], and calls him foolish.

* The reason Samus looks so different out of her suit compared to pretty much every other out-of-suit appearance is due to the surgery performed on her at the beginning of the game. Since her power suit had already become a part of her, and considering how different the power suit looks afterwards, it would make sense the the surgery would change the appearance of her body underneath the suit as well.

* The Omega Metroids in ''Return of Samus'' were outright immune to the Ice Beam and had to be missiled to death, but the Omega here was the other way around, being immune to missiles (even the Ice Missiles) and needing the Ice Beam to kill. Sounds erratic, but in an earlier conversation, Adam told Samus that the Federation was developing means to accelerate the growth of Metroids; a larval growing into an Omega in days, for instance. Without the years to truly develop the beam-resistant carapace and hide that the naturally-grown Metroids on SR388 possess, the Omega retains the traits its larval form possesses and is thus easily subdued by the Ice Beam. The immunity to Ice Missiles is linked to the larval Metroids' own resistance to missiles, a trait that was lost to the Pirate specimens kept in frigid Phendrana or raised on Phazon.

* Why is Neo Ridley ''not'' considered ThatOneBoss in this game when he's been that tough in earlier games? Simple. X-Parasites may have the ability to mimic knowledge, power, and forms perfectly, but, in Samus' words, "They cannot copy the soul." The X mimicking Ridley may have modified his form to be more powerful, but it lacked the pride and sheer hatred the real deal had that made him such a threat in the first place. It was doomed from the start.
