Forum:3

Something I'm working on Metroid-wise that needs some discussion and work before I add it to the wiki: I'm growing convinced that the series, particularly the assorted Prime games, contains a repeated motif of the number 3, much like the Halo games frequently involve the number 7. A few examples (I'll create an exhaustive list at a later date): Kraid's three eyes and three claws, the three nuclei of the Metroid, the three Energy controllers that must be restored, the three suits available in nearly all Metroid games, the Prime trilogy, three Amorbis, and so forth.

So: my question is: does three actually appear in Metroid significantly more than any other number (there's a lot of fours and some fives, too), or am I just seeing things...
