Swamp Zone



The Swamp Zone is a room in the Biosphere. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Description
Upon entrance, the room initially is a marsh-like area with constant rainfall. Throughout the room are trees featuring cylinder-shaped gratings with no bottom, and platforms with Grab Ledges that Samus must traverse to move on through the room. Although there are many of these and much of them are unreachable, placed to confuse Samus, the platforms she must first use are located towards the back of the room. The platforms lead to a Morph Ball tunnel, which is blocked off by two Zoomers that must be killed with Bombs. The tunnel ends at a platform and leads to another, which features another tunnel. Samus must climb two more platforms before she can access another tunnel, and thus another series of platforms and tunnels, until she reaches a Holographic Generator.

After activating the generator, the rainfall and background of vegetation disappears, revealing the room to be an indoor facility, although the marsh ground still exists. The trees become intertwined with colors of black and light blue, resembling pistons in the Pirate Homeworld of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. A Groganch, the first of three that Samus encounters, exposes itself, and forces Samus into a battle.

The death of the Groganch results in a gate lifting to allow Samus access to a Kick Climb shaft, and the Door out of the room unlocks. There is an observation window that Samus enters, but she is forced to battle a trio of Griptians.
