# Summary
A complete remake of *Metroid* using *[[Metroid Fusion]]* assets for the Game Boy Advance. It also includes a bonus epilogue chapter where the Zero Suit was introduced, hence "Zero Mission." I still think this is the slickest *Metroid* game and it is one of the great remakes of all time.
# Acquisition
My aunt bought it for me as a birthday present in a Target. I was super into the box art and was totally sold. I'm not sure if this was before or after I discovered *[[Metroid Prime]]*.
# Memories
I remember being infatuated with this game. Exploring every nook and cranny. Revealing in the *Metroid* exploration formula. This truly is a perfect game for the GBA. I don't recall how I learned about the game or even became interested. Advertising must have worked somewhere along the way.
I do remember finding the Nintendo Power Player's Guide at a retro shop in South Carolina while visiting my wife's family. It was in pristine condition alongside a *[[The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]* and *[[Paper Mario - The Thousand-Year Door|Thousand-Year Door]]* guide. The *TTYD* one was still sealed. I snagged all of them up.
