* Samus never gets the Core-X from Experiment No. Z-57, as it dunks itself into lava during its figth, and is later destroyed when it decides to take over Raven Beak. Despite that, it can be assumed that on both occasions, it would have given some version of the Hyper Beam early. It's the Experiments' main attack in its fight, and Raven Beak makes use of it as well in his. It adds another layer to Samus destroying the X-Parasite, as by that point, it had nothing left to give to her.

It's pretty well-established in Metroid Other M, that the Federation ended up cloning Ridley unwittingly because his DNA was amidst the remains on Samus's suit. It's how the Federation got hold of Metroid DNA to make the Metroid Queen on the Bottle Ship as the last Metroid exploded directly over Samus. Because Ridley usually dies in Super Metroid, grabbing Samus in his talons before exploding, it's not hard to imagine his DNA ended up on her... and from there, the Federation made use of all the DNA samples they got off of Samus's suit before "giving it a polish".


* Kraid's precence after Super Metroid may seem odd at first glance, given Zebes was outright destroyed at the end of that game. But the Galactic Federation managed to get ahold of Ridley's remains somehow, a feat that would've faced the same challenges. Given at that point Ridley had been brought back by the space pirates twice, and Kraid once, the most likely answer is the space pirates had samples of genetic material on hand for future attempts should things go sour once again. If these made it off Zebes before it blew up, or wasn't even on the planet to begin with, then the samples would've escaped Zebes' destruction. With the Federation seemingly clamping down on space pirate activity and the group seemingly ceasing to be a major threat afterward, most likely the GF captured space pirate assets that contained a backup of Ridley's DNA, while Kraid's DNA fell into Raven Beak's hands at some point. Chances are he was raiding the last remhnants of the space pirates hoping they might have preserved a metroid sample, which presumably failed as those samples either didn't make it off Zebes, ended up in Federation hands, or else the pirates never got the time to set aside DNA samples from their resurrected Metroid breeding program before Samus wiped everything out as usual.
