Chronologically, ''Metroid Fusion'' takes place last in the fictional ''Metroid'' universe. The story centers around bounty hunter Samus Aran, who is sent by the Galactic Federation to assist Biologic Space Laboratories in their expeditions on the planet SR-388, which Samus had purged of Metroids in ''VideoGame/MetroidIIReturnOfSamus''. While defending the scientists from the local wildlife, she gets infected by a previously undocumented gelatinous lifeform and later passes out while piloting her gunship. The organism has spread throughout her body and her biomechanical Power Suit, and the scientists surgically remove portions of the infected suit to no avail. In a last ditch effort, the scientists infuse Samus with a serum containing preserved Metroid DNA, which destroys the parasite and cures Samus.

* FakeDifficulty: Compared to the other Metroid games, the game seems to unfortunately suffer the most from this: despite the fact that the maximum [[HeartContainer energy tank]] count is far higher than in the other games of the series, Samus takes by far the most damage per hit even with all the defensive upgrades unlocked and the amount of health given by the X parasites never increases during the game, not to mention the fact that chasing them down is more than likely to get you hit again by other enemies and they can easily form into another enemy you need to kill before you have a chance to absorb them if the game's feeling sadistic. Sure, there are recovery stations in every section of the station, but they're almost all placed near the main entrance of the section which doesn't help you much when the boss is on the other side of the map and the nearest savepoint might still be several rooms away.

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:The Etecoons and Dachoras from ''Super'' come back in this game, and this time THEY save you. After needing saving a second time, but still.]]
* ChestMonster: One of the X-Cores impersonates a Chozo Statue (most likely a Torizo, considering hosts need to be organic).
* ClimaxBoss: Nightmare in ''Fusion''. [[spoiler: Especially after playing ''Other M''.]]
* ColonyDrop: BSL, at the end of ''Fusion.''
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The doors are color-coded by security-clearance. Samus needs to find the override controls for each security level to unlock them. [[spoiler:This becomes a plot point, as unlocking the controls also allows the X-parasites to spread further through the station.]]
* CoolStarship: Samus' gunship, natch. The loaner ship she gets from the Federation after totaling her own in ''Fusion's'' opening may count as well.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: [[spoiler: [=SR388=], when you [[ColonyDrop collide the BSL station]] with the planet.]]
* AbandonedLaboratory: Metroid Fusion takes place in a space station made of these.
* AfterBossRecovery: Justified, as all the bosses and enemies are made of X Parasites that Samus absorbs to recover health, so it makes sense that the bigger bosses have more potent X for her to eat.
* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted with Adam. At about the point one might expect him to [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey start singing "Daisy Bell"]], he sides with Samus against the Federation and helps her destroy the X Parasites. Double subversion in that Adam's not a true AI either; he was human to begin with, and just had his mind uploaded before he died.]]
* AllThereInTheManual: The games are easy to understand plotwise on their own, but there's quite a bit of canonical backstory for both ''Zero Mission'' and ''Fusion'', as well as the entire franchise on the whole, to be found in the manuals and the [[http://www.metroid-database.com/manga/listing.php?vid=19 two-volume]] [[http://www.metroid-database.com/manga/listing.php?vid=13 manga]].
* AsteroidThicket: During ''Fusion''[-'-]s opening, Samus' ship crashes into one of those. The asteroids look like they're only a few hundred feet across, and tightly packed.
* BagOfSpilling: Played with. Samus kept all of the weapon upgrades to her power armor. Unfortunately, her power armor was infected with a parasite which is now using all of those weapon upgrades to try to kill her.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Samus has to have her suit surgically removed, and there is absolutely no scarring. There also appears to be no visible changes caused by the infusion of Metroid DNA (or Chozo DNA, for that matter).
* BookEnds: ''Fusion'' provides three. The end to the original trilogy had [[spoiler:the super metroid heals and gives you a weapon to defeat the final boss, saving your life. In ''Fusion'', the Metroid's DNA cures Samus of the X-Parasite infection (saving her life), and makes her able to absorb the X to heal her and replenish her supplies (giving her the weapon to eradicate the X).]] Also the ending, in which the SA-X, [[spoiler:saves your life, heals you, and gives you the weapon to eradicate the Omega Metroid.]] Also, [[spoiler: both the very first boss (Arachnus) and very last boss (Omega Metroid) are from ''Metroid 2''.]]
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:Samus had beaten SA-X, plotted the B.S.L. Station on a collision course with SR-388, and was on her way to her ship to escape. But when she gets to the docking bays, the place is a mess, her ship is missing, and there is a huge shedded skin on the floor. Suddenly, an Omega Metroid comes in and screeches at Samus. With one claw swipe, Samus is knocked down to one HP and immobilized. Before the Metroid could kill her, the SA-X appears and blasts its chest with the Ice Beam, but it is defeated by it. However, Samus absorbs its Core-X, which restored her Ice Beam ability, and proceeded to blast the Metroid to dust.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:The Etecoons and Dachoras from ''Super'' come back in this game, and this time THEY save you. After needing saving a second time, but still.]]

''Metroid Fusion'' is an action-adventure video game published by {{Nintendo}} for the GameBoyAdvance. It was released in North America, Europe, and Australia in November 2002, and in Japan in February 2003. The game is considered to be the fourth main installment in the ''Metroid'' series; the intro alternatively refers to the game as Metroid Fusion 4. ''Metroid Fusion'' was developed by the same development team that created the previous ''Super Metroid'', to which ''Metroid Fusion'' bears heavy resemblance.
Chronologically, ''Metroid Fusion'' takes place last in the fictional ''Metroid'' universe. The story centers around bounty hunter Samus Aran, who isa sent by the Galactic Federation to the Biologic Space Laboratories space station to investigate an explosion. There, she learns that the station is swarming with organisms infected with X Parasites, virions that can replicate their hosts' physical appearances and memories, killing them afterward. Learning that the Galactic Federation plans to capture the X Parasites for further study, Samus must destroy the space station to protect the Federation from the underestimated destructive power of the X Parasites.
