What is Metroid Fusion?

Metroid Fusion is a side-scrolling action-adventure game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002. You play as bounty hunter Samus Aran, who survives an X parasite infection thanks to an emergency Metroid vaccine, then returns to the Biologic Space Laboratories research station to contain the outbreak while being hunted by the SA-X, a deadly copy of herself at full power.

Exploration and ability-gated progression define the experience: every boss you defeat grants an upgrade that unlocks previously inaccessible sectors of the station. Metroid Fusion is playable today through Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online, and this wiki covers every sector, boss, item, and story beat with complete maps and step-by-step walkthroughs.
