There's also a section in Alinos with Samus going via morph ball into a boiler and dodge its eternal workings while trying to find an Octolith.
* FallingDamage: The deadliest instance in the ''Prime'' games, because falling into a bottomless pit spells instant death to Samus, instead of just respawning from a spot with minimal health substraction like in the console games.
* FireIceLightning: There's one fire, one ice, and two lightnings: [[PlayingWithFire Spire and the Magmaul]], [[AnIcePerson Noxus and the Judicator]], [[ShockAndAwe Kanden and the Volt Driver, and Sylux and the Shock Coil]].[[note]]Though, Sylux's weapon has been described as using neutrinos rather than electricity.[[/note]]
* FreeSamplePlotCoupon: The whereabouts of the first Octolith are found at the start of the game, but like all other Octoliths it's guarded by a boss that must be defeated. The remaining Octoliths not only require defeating a boss each to be claimed, but also ''reach'' said bosses' whereabouts by exploring extensively the main locations of the Alimbic solar system (including the starter Celestial Archives, as there's another Octolith besides the first one located there).
* GaidenGame: ''Hunters'' is an installment focused on online multiplayer (but also with a single-player campaign) which canonically takes place between ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' and ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes''. ''Hunters'' is completely detached from the Phazon storyline that's at the core of every other entry in the original ''Prime'' trilogy, including ''[[VideoGame/MetroidPrimeFederationForce Federation Force]]''. Instead, the story concerns Samus and a group of other bounty hunters all fighting each other over a rumored "ultimate power." Beyond being the debut of Sylux, who would eventually be set up as a new antagonist following the defeat of Dark Samus, the game has no effect whatsoever on the overarching plot.
* GlobalAirship: Samus's gunship serves this role, as she's exploring multiple locations across a solar system (planets and vessels) instead of one.
* HardModeFiller: Done with the main bosses. Aside from the final boss and the minibosses, there are only two bosses in the game and you have to fight them both four different times, each time with harder difficulty.
* HeartContainer: The Energy Tanks as usual, but unlike in the console ''Prime'' installments there are only 7 of them.
* HeroAntagonist: Two of your six rivals, Noxus and Spire, are good guys. [[PlayerCharacter Samus]] wants to secure the "ultimate power" in the area for TheFederation, or destroy it if that's not possible. Noxus is trying to destroy it to keep it out of the hands of anyone who would abuse it (and considering the events of ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'', [[spoiler:he may not be wrong in including the Federation]]). Spire hopes that by finding it, he can learn more about why he's the LastOfHisKind. Despite them all having good intentions for what to do with it, they end up fighting each other anyway.
* HitScan: The game uses hitscan for exactly one weapon: the Imperialist, a laser sniper rifle.
* HomingBoulders: Should you manage to unlock Gorea's [[SequentialBoss final phase]] and successfully do damage to its main body, it will respond with literal homing boulders that will pass through walls and even the floor just to hit Samus. That said, she can and should dodge them as she tracks Gorea down to continue damaging it.

* SniperRifle: Samus gets to use one called the Imperialist in the single-player mode. In multiplayer, the Imperialist is Trace's signature weapon, and it allows him to turn invisible when standing still long enough.
* SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: At one point, while looking for the second Octolith located in Vesper Defense Outpost, some debris falls down onto an energy reactor and makes it go haywire. Samus has only 60 seconds to quickly rise to a panel to cool it down before it explodes. During this sequence, the theme that is usually heard in this same place in multiplayer begins playing, but as time passes it will gradually accelerate to increase tension.

His means of egress are a forged psychic message and the eight Octoliths that power the device necessary to open it again... too bad the person responsible for opening the door just happened to be ''Samus''.
* TechDemoGame: The game was proof the Nintendo DS could run online multiplayer first-person shooter games, to the point it was the ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' game that least resembled series tradition, aside from ''Videogame/MetroidPrimePinball''.
* ThrownDownAWell: Done on a CosmicHorrorStory scale: The resident EldritchAbomination, Gorea, is [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]] in the [[HeroicSacrifice Seal Sphere]], which is then sealed away in the Oubliette, which, in turn, is sealed away in a rift between dimensions known as the Infinity Void.

* UniversalAmmunition: The game has actual nanotech-based Universal Ammo that fits all of your special weapons. Only Samus' missile launcher uses different ammo. Since all the other guns are at least partially energy weapons, it's a bit more believable, though, as the ammo itself probably doesn't need to shape itself to extreme tolerances - even for the explosive Battlehammer, "close enough" will do, allowing a quick configuration to be at least somewhat plausible.

** This game provides some very interesting numbers on the weapons of the Metroid universe. The Volt Driver apparently has enough juice to power countries, the Judicator approaches Absolute Zero, the Battlehammer contains a nuclear reactor, and the Magmaul utilizes hydrogen the same way stars do. At this rate, it'll be able to compete with [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} 40K]] in over-the-top weaponry.

Frickin' Laser Beams entry amended in accordance with this Trope Repair Shop Thread
.
.* EnergyWeapons: Trace's Imperialist takes this form, and if whoever's on the receiving end takes it to the head, it's a OneHitKill, provided Trace was zoomed in on it. Unlike most examples the imperialist does pretty much hit as soon as fired, but like most examples it also gives away the position of the shooter.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: The hunters range from well-intentioned to selfish to bloodthirsty. Samus is merely commissioned to discover the source of the message. Spire wants to find out what happened to his people. Noxus wants to be sure ''no one'' gets the ultimate power. Weavel wants it for the firepower, Trace wants it for conquest, Sylux wants it for revenge, and Kanden wants it because he's crazy.
