The subject of this article is not named in-game.
The current title is from the game's internal data.

Now that I think about it, you can choose the difficulty level as well. While in the American version, partly because of time issues, we made it so this was chosen directly by the player, in the Japanese version, we wanted to add a bit of "Nintendo flavor" to it, so the difficulty is decided by answering to a questionnaire from the Galactic Federation. That was an idea that came from Retro Studios… After you answer the questionnaire, they will tell you, "This is the difficulty level we would like to recommend to you."

Galactic Federation Bounty Claim Form

The beginning of the form in Japanese

The Galactic Federation Bounty Claim Form is a questionnaire presented to players in the Japanese version of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, as they are preparing to start the game. The questionnaire is used to determine a player's familiarity and skill with previous Metroid titles, or video games in general, and recommend a difficulty setting for them. In the Western versions of the game, the player is able to directly select a difficulty level of their choice.[2] According to the producer of Corruption, Kensuke Tanabe, the idea for the questionnaire came from Retro Studios.

English text[]

Although Western copies of Corruption have no questionnaire, an unused English version of the questionnaire can be found in the same STRG file that contains the intro text. Each answer gives an invisible score of points, which will determine the difficulty level when totalled at the end.
