* At the very beginning of the game, you can enter a cold storage room where you can see the frozen remains of none other than Ridley. After the power goes out, you have to pass through this room again and come face-to-face with the long-dead monster. Then he crumbles into pieces as a Core-X floats away, having stolen Ridley's DNA. Then, almost at the very end of the game, you find Ridley again at the bottom of a tall room, only now he looks like he's been dipped in molten metal and left out to dry. Then, [[RedEyesTakeWarning his eyes start to glow]]. The characteristic "pixelization" of the X parasites covers his entire body, and we meet Neo-Ridley, giving maybe the biggest roar of any enemy up to that point as he suddenly becomes twice the size that he was before. Yikes!

** In fact, this knowledge brings up a LOT of unanswered questions as both this game and ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' are the only ones in the series to show that the Federation isn't entirely on the same side as you. Why are they doing this to begin with? Have they become so desperate for extra power that they feel they need to rely on horrific monsters in order to protect themselves and the galaxy? If that's the case, then what has made them so desperate? Or were the observations about Metroids in ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' being able to vastly benefit humanity something of the start to their descent into a dark mindset cause of a lust for that power? And if so, does that mean that this game is the continuation of their lust for power to put them as the lead authority in the galaxy? Unfortunately, [[NothingIsScarier as of this point there are no answers]] to any of those questions, but the implications that each of those possibilities present are NOT good...

* The SA-X does not relinquish its power so easily. It flees on you. Then, Samus gets the dark idea to crash the space station so not one X survives. After all this, you think the game is done and all you have to do is escape in 3 minutes. Then, you get to the hangar, where there is a discarded membrane. It turns out SA-X wasn't the worst threat in the game. It's the final boss, an Omega Metroid, freshly out of its cocoon. There is absolutely no warning that a freaking Omega Metroid is loose on board the space station, and the clock is ticking toward oblivion. The beast takes ''one'' swipe at Samus and she immediately drops to 1 hit point. Luckily, SA-X morphs into Samus one more time to hit its weak spot and then Samus can reclaim her final ability and full power to even the playing field.

There is absolutely no warning While the game had hinted that a freaking Metroid managed to get loose from the restricted laboratory, given that you find discarded Metroid membranes elsewhere, the sheer speed at which it evolves into an Omega Metroid is loose on board the space station, comes as a huge surprise, and the clock is ticking toward oblivion.
