Japanese Metroid: Zero Mission strategy guide.
Bosses are very powerful enemies which Samus Aran must kill, often because they block progression or because they guard or possess a power-up that Samus needs to complete her mission. This page is a list of bosses in the entire Metroid series.
Bosses officially designated as Mini-Bosses are marked with an asterisk (*).

Metroid Official Site interview[]
| “ | Furthermore, this game’s giant bosses are another difference from other FPSes, too. Each boss can be defeated with a specific item in Samus’s arsenal. Those boss battles are very exciting, and it’s not something you see too often in this genre. | „ |
