Crateria Surface



Crateria Surface is a theme from Super Metroid. It is a triumphant-sounding track that begins playing in the open areas of Crateria after Kraid is defeated and the storm on the surface clears up. It is also heard after the baby's death during the climax of the game, when Samus receives the Hyper Beam from it and finishes off Mother Brain.

The theme is included on the Super Metroid: Sound in Action soundtrack, which also features an arranged version of the theme. Both of these are titled Theme of Samus Aran: Galactic Warrior. This is not to be confused with Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior, the introduction and credits theme of Super Metroid. The original theme is also included on the Samus Archives Sound Selection CD, which is included with the Special and Legacy Editions of Metroid: Samus Returns.

The original theme can be heard here, and the arrangement from Sound in Action here.
