Origins of Super Metroid's Wrecked Ship

The Wrecked Ship was always a location that was 'out of this world' in Super Metroid, but what exactly are it's origins?

A Chozo ship, I never thought of that. I always assumed that the wreck ship belonged to that fallen warrior outside of Kraid's room.

[@rippedhydra1494]

That makes sense too...theres a few theories out there.

That’s a good theory... but the ship seems much too large to have a crew of one.

The Super Metroid instruction manual says, of the Wrecked Ship, "Long ago, astronauts from an ancient civilization crash landed on Zebes. This is what remains of their ship." Of the Wrecked Ship enemies, the manual describes the Covern (the ghosts who fade in and out before power is restored) as "These souls of shipwrecked creatures turn into evil spirits who that themselves around intruders." Of the Work Robots, the manual says "These robots were built by ancient man to service the inside of the ship. Since the crash, they have gone completely haywire." The Super Metroid Player's Guide, for its part, says "Many moons ago, a strange alien craft crash landed on the wind swept surface of Zebes. Though the ship has lain broken and decaying over the millennia the spirits of those long-dead travellers still walk its rusting corridors." And it also says "On arrival upon this dilapidated hulk, you'll notice that nothing works. Nothing unusual about that you might think--the thing's been lying here for countless centuries." It's pretty clear from the material that, to the extent they gave it any thought, the Super Metroid development team regarded the Wrecked Ship as ancient and unrelated to present-era galactic events and societies. The Chozo? Perhaps, but that would be a retcon. There has been a tendency ever since Fusion and Prime to tie the entire web of galactic history to the Chozo, which I never really found satisfying. When I was a kid I read the manual and "astronauts from an ancient civilization" was good enough for me. Phantoon itself is a little more cryptic. Of Phantoon, the instruction manual says "The ghost of the ship taps in to the vicious brainwaves of the Mother Brain and attacks adventurers with deadly plasma." This implies that Phantoon is the ghost of the Wrecked Ship itself. The Japanese instruction manual, by comparison, characterizes Phantoon as the physical manifestation of Mother Brain's consciousness, which doesn't make much sense. (Why would Mother Brain's consciousness take form in the Wrecked Ship?) The player's guide offers yet another explanation of Phantoon: "Unfortunately, there's a more sinister reason for [the Wrecked Ship's] systems being dead than simple metal fatigue. Phantoon, a sinister alien being, had made the wreck his lair and is draining its power for his own survival."

[@sherbertshortkake6649]

Underrated comment. (Seriously you just did better than the actual video, thanks sir)

[@j.k.4479]

I think in Other M Phantoon was draining the energy from the space station causing many doors to not work much like the save stations on the wrecked ship. So that last bit about Phantoon draining energy seems to be consistent.

[@elio7610]

There is at least one piece of evidence that suggests the wrecked ship being of chozo origin, which is a chozo statue/torizo that can be found inside the ship. There is also the image of metroids on screens inside the ship that may suggest the ship was carrying metroids and that a metroid outbreak may have caused the ship to be abandoned. The encased "atomics" initially do not hint at anything, however, there are instances where metroids seem to be encased instead of "atomics" which suggests that metroids may have acted as a power source (or maybe they were feeding on it). There are some biomechanical(?) connective wires that look just like what is seen in tourian around mother brain (except green instead of red), which implies the ship had a mother brain. There is also some structural similarities to the area around the queen metroid on SR388 in metroid 2. I am really not sure how phantoon fits into everything, there may be some significance to the ship regaining power after phantoon is defeated but there is not a lot of ingame explanation. There are clear similarities between phantoon and mother brain, phantoon could even be where mother brain's brain came from, just not a lot of evidence to back up theories. There is not a lot of ingame evidence to suggest any specific age of the craft but the fact that it can regain power at all hints that the ship may not really be all that ancient (although that is entirely dependent on reliability of the tech and it could just be so advanced that it can it retain some funcionality for centuries, it certainly had to be strong if it survived a crash (maybe it did not crash?)).

[@MrDibara]

Phantoon himself raises a lot of questions. The main passage to access Tourian (Mother Brain's main base) recquires you to defeat the leaders of the Space Pirates, as despicted in the statue. And Phantoon... *is carved as being one of them.* O_O So, is this dimentional monster actually one of the Space Pirates?! Was he found by them and then decided to join them? Was he one of them from the start? Was he simply _assigned_ a post in the Wrecked Ship? *Or was he never one of them to begin with?* It almost begs the question of whether he trully *is* one of the Space Pirates, considering we don't find any actual living Space Pirates inside the damn ship.=. _(or anything living, for that matter)_ So maybe, Phantoon and all the ghostly entities inside are NOT part of their organization. Which, if true, begs the question: *How the HELL did the Space Pirates manage to link the entrance to Tourian to Phantoon's very existence?!* It would seem that Phantoon and the spirits inside are hostile to ANYTHING! Not even wildlife dares venture inside the ship until Phantoon is destroyed and the ghosts are gone! _So how come one of the keys to unlocking the Space Pirates' base is killing this phantasmagoric monster?_ *My God, so many questions that we have absolutely no answer to. Both in regards to Phantoon and to Space Lavender Town.* X__X

[@hriday684]

I have another idea - it actually is the Space Pirate Mothership, but it's the ship on which the Chozo crashed onto Zebes too. Phantoon wasn't actually the reason the ship crashed onto Zebes in the first place - maybe it didn't crash at all, and the Chozo landed there intentionally. After that, either something happened to the ship that stopped them from leaving the planet, or they decided to stay there and left the ship up in Crateria. Then, the Space Pirates took over the now abandoned ship, reparing what was damaged. They made a Ridley robot and put him somewhere at the top. Then Samus arrives, Mecha Ridley's dead, and the ship explodes. Phantoon might just have been lying dormant in some part of this ship this whole time, and could've been awoken by the explosion. Or, another theory would be that he's actually the ghost of Mecha Ridley - which travelled down into it's current hiding place after the events of Zero Mission. And if you think about it, the Gravity Suit is actually in quite a similar place too! About that, you might be thinking why the Chozo statue above the Gravity Suit room doesn't exist in Zero Mission. Well, there is no room over there - it's inaccessible in Zero Mission. After you get the Gravity Suit in Zero Mission, some "pillars" drop down, stopping you from going back to the boss room. These exist in Super Metroid too - if you use the tunnel in the room that the Statue drops you in, you'll see a bunch of shootable blocks. What do you guys think?

[@m.s.e.advanced2842]

Imagine the wrecked ship as a location in Luigi's Mansion 3

[@BenjaMan64]

[@EmilXOM]

It says in the Japanese manual for Super, that Phantoon is the ghost of the original mother brain, and it’s likely being controlled by the rebuilt mother brain (according to the western manual). So it’s not really a bioweapon. This is also why Phantoon reappears in Other M after MB is killed. It’s simply the ghost of that version of mother brain, or possibly the rebuilt one from Super? Hard to say

[@Inferno144]

I'm going to point this out since no matter what video I watch that covers the Wrecked Ship, they don't talk about it. In the long room full of Kihunters, on the monitors seems to be a close up of the Queen Metroid's face. Specifically her eyes.

[@syweb2]

It looks more like a regular Metroid and its nuclei to me.

[@tantheman7538]

I know Chozo statues are EVERYWHERE in Metroid games, but (when I first played Super) I always took the figure that delivered me to the Gravity Suit as a sign of the ship’s true ownership. Great video, as always, Orpheon!

[@ilianceroni]

Doi Drando I’m not convinced by that. I know, it seems a bit crazy, but I think we may see the gameplay in 2020/21. We don’t know when the restart (even if retro restarted the game before E3 2018, Nintendo wouldn’t announce it until the begin of 2019, 2018 was a bit off as year, Ninty couldn’t just say it before seeing how good smash would perform, it makes sense business while). They just start looking for an art director, but this isn’t necessary for the first phase of the development. They may have a large part of the mechanics and level design and needing the art director to built on them. Furthermore, They may need an art director not for leading the whole art team, but too lead the environmental design and enemy design for on a particular area. I’m pretty sure Nintendo want the game to came out as soon as possible, for the fans that are waiting since MP3 and for saving money (the longer the development, the high the cost). Apparently retro pitched the game to Ninty, they probably planned a smaller development time, pitching is not only about mechanics and mood of the game. So, we can’t say for sure if it’s really that far away as it may looks like right now. Yeah, sorry for this long message😅

I thought that phanton was aghost of the people who used to inhabit the ship, combined into a deformed monster. i used to think that the animas have been here for generations, since their ancestors were on the wrecked ship. i thought they used the wrecked ship to escape at the end of super metroid

[@ultraspinalki11]

Perhaps the ghosts are not necessarily the passengers of the ship, but foreign explorers who went inside the ship long after it crashed, and died inside. Perhaps dying within the ship adds to Phantoon's army.

I often wonder the same thing. Phantoon is my favorite metroid character. I heard that he was an ancient energy being that was on the chozo ship. Maybe Even a good guy.

[@ultraspinalki11]

It's better for them not to appear. It leaves more to the imagination. There's always the risk that their portrayal might not reach expectations if they show up in a future game. Kinda like how Ridley Scott ruined the Engineers when he decided to bring them into the recent Alien movies.

[@DarkSunamy]

Unless we time travel back to a period of time before Chozos were extinct, I don't think we will see them

[@chris-tm8ok]

Chozo are extinct by the time the first game happens so no.

[@WtZuck]

It's possible but highly highly unlikely to be made. It would be so cool, though! It would obviously pre-date Zero Mission, but it's possible since it's recorded that Samus was an established bounty hunter/space explorer prior to Zero Mission. It would be soo cool to watch the story of Samus/Chozo develop, even in flashbacks, and undergo some of the training and absorb the knowledge/technology the Chozo shared with Samus. The Chozo are timeless so Samus could still obtain power-ups from ancient Chozo... There's a really good opportunity to explore Samus's background in video-game form but I don't think Nintendo would ever execute such a thing when Prime games take 10 years to make and who knows if they'll ever create another main series title again... I bet they'll do a 2-D Fusion re-hash eventually on Switch on Switch's successor.

You forget the fact that the Chozo were a nomadic warrior-like species that traveled the galaxy for travels sake.

So making due with what they had they colonized the planet.

There's another theory that says that samus uncovered the wrecked ship after blowing up the space pirate mothership. It uncovered the dirt, and uncovered the wrecked ship. And the remains of the space pirate mothership became maridia.

[@jlr1357]

Being that the ship is of Chozo origin, the ghost should be it to, meaning that encounters with Chozo ghosts are more common that I thought.

Chances that Dread could reveal the original Chozo world?

*Hears Mario Sunshine and Luigis Mansion* Ahh, a man of culture.

[@keithlangevin6149]

just figured it was a remnant of the ships AI since it has the simular bulbous head with an eye that mother brain and others have. Like it was a basic model used for ships and stuff. It was killed during the crash and because it was linked to the ship it began to haunt the place. Might make more sense than an unexplainable multidimensional ghost. Just saying

[@rodagnev83]

Phantoon looks like a mother brain ghost

[@jballs5434]

Are we ever going to get a video explaining who Phantoon is?

[@Nintendude.]

1:37 That smoke that looks like a face coming out of the Kraid statue... Was it always there or did The Orpheon edit that in?

[@TheOrpheon]

Its always been there, it happens to each statue after you beat the boss before turning gray. Its in a way to signify that you have broken a seal of sorts

[@Nintendude.]

@@TheOrpheon thanks I never had notice that before, seems like a anime gag.
