VS. Chozo Statue First Form



VS Fake Statue First Form is an eerie piano-based theme in Metroid Fusion, heard during the first part of the Nettori battle. The theme features tambourine-like beats at regular intervals and loops around every 17 seconds. When Nettori's first form is defeated, the theme transitions into VS Core-X, Fake Chozo Statue Second Form.

The theme was composed by Minako Hamano and Akira Fujiwara. It is similar to the Mini Boss Confrontation (Spore Spawn, Botwoon) theme from Super Metroid; the Spore Spawn boss in that game also released spores, like Nettori. Hamano composed for Super Metroid as well, so it is possible that the similarity was intentional.

The theme can be heard here.
