*In ''Metroid II'', the [[Ice Beam]] is the only item here because it is required to defeat the Metroids in the area. In the room containing it, the [[Chozo Statue]] supposed to hold it is broken, with the head being nearby. The [[Item Sphere]] containing the beam is right behind it. It is possible that the Metroids, perhaps the Queen herself, were aware of the item being held by the statue and knowing the danger it posed for them, attempted to destroy it.

Samus Returns Metroid Egg

The Metroid egg in Area 8.

Area 8, previously known as Phase 9, is the ninth and final area explored on SR388 in Metroid II: Return of Samus and its remake, Metroid: Samus Returns. Area 8 houses the final Larva Metroids (8 in Metroid II, 10 in Samus Returns) on SR388, and the Queen Metroid itself. After defeating the Queen, Samus witnesses a Metroid Egg hatch and give birth to the baby. As it imprints on her as its mother, Samus chooses to take it with her to Ceres Space Colony; it carves out crystals and obstacles in the way as it orbits around her. This sets in motion the events of Super Metroid and subsequent sequels.

Trivia

  • In Metroid II, the Ice Beam is the only item here because it is required to defeat the Metroids in the area. In the room containing it, the Chozo Statue supposed to hold it is broken, with the head being nearby. The Item Sphere containing the beam is right behind it. It is possible that the Metroids, perhaps the Queen herself, were aware of the item being held by the statue and knowing the danger it posed for them, attempted to destroy it.
    • This Chozo Statue is not present in Samus Returns, as Samus will still have the Ice Beam from Area 1.
  • When Samus travels through this area and first bypasses the Metroid Egg found, the Metroid Detector will raise from 1 to 9, indicating the 8 mature Metroids. However, if Samus re-crosses this area via escaping the Queen, the Metroids will not respawn, and the counter does not raise again. Also, the detector does not raise to 1 when the infant Metroid hatches; this indicates the counter does not take into account Metroid hatchlings (for unknown reasons) until these grow to the mature Larval Metroids more commonly seen in other games.
  • Despite this area being the main hive of the Metroids, most of it seems to be synthetic/artificial. Glass tubes and temple-like structures can be seen throughout Area 8, strikingly similar to those from the Chozo Laboratory in Area 7. The area might be heavily hinting on the existing connection between the Chozo and their creations, the Metroids.
  • Area 8 is the most depicted area of SR388 in other media and games, as it is featured in flashbacks of the baby hatching.
  • In Samus Returns, a sped-up techno remix of the Tourian theme can be heard while Samus is hunting the Larva Metroids.
