QUESTION :
I started playing from MZM so with MP2 I only have two Metroid games. MP2 was also profoundly interesting. My question is why is it that the Ing can possess life from seemingly anywhere? And, why weren’t the Luminoth possessed?
ANSWER :
The Ing are capable of going back and forth from the Dark and Light worlds. They are also capable of possessing the Luminoth. In the Luminoth lore there are records of this occurring.

QUESTION :
Is there not an easy mode in this game? I love the screens for American games, but it’s impossibly difficult so I haven’t beaten any. If there were an easy mode I would buy them otherwise I won’t. I’ll just give up. I don’t like half-assed difficulty settings but would like to try this game. So…?
ANSWER :
There is a hard mode. But please buy it!

QUESTION :
The Pirate base in Agon [Wastes] has some Metroid cocoons, which look like praying mantis eggs. So where is the Metroid which laid those eggs? Metroids typically split via beta ray particles but surely don’t reproduce by laying eggs (only a Metroid Queen lays eggs). So is there perhaps a Queen Metroid on Aether? Is it possible that a Tallon Metroid, mutated by Phazon, can lay eggs?
ANSWER :
The Metroid cocoons are chrysalides that were created in a Space Pirate experiment in which Tallon Metroids underwent metamorphosis. They are not eggs.

QUESTION :
Why was multiplayer mode introduced?
ANSWER :
Metroid has always been single player. But we thought that if Metroid fans across the world were able to play together it could be a fun experience, so we decided to implement it.
