Ending (Fusion)

Ending, as named by the Metroid Prime & Fusion Original Soundtracks, is a music theme from Metroid Fusion. It was composed by Minako Hamano and Akira Fujiwara.

Description
Ending plays over the staff credits for Fusion. It continues playing as Samus Aran poses against a starry backdrop in her Unnamed Suit and (if the player was fast enough) Ending Outfit, followed by the Mission Final screen displaying the player's clear time and item percentage.

Ending begins with a triumphant and uplifting orchestral march, following the footsteps of the credits music from Super Metroid. It shares its melody with other Fusion songs such as Last Instructions and Facing a Huge Reaction; this melody could therefore be considered the main leitmotif for Fusion as a whole. Ending then progresses to a slow, calm, and serene interlude performed by strings, similar to the Epilogue theme that plays during the final cutscene showing the Dachoras and Etecoons aboard Samus Aran's Gunship. After the credits, the theme continues with another march that is slightly darker in tone, similar to Sector 3 Restore the Cooling Installation Timer Mission. Ending ends with a slow and foreboding reprise of the Sector 1 theme as it fades to silence, perhaps representing the danger and uncertainty of Samus Aran's future.
