The '''''{{nihongo|Nintendo Official Guidebook for Metroid Other M''|任天堂公式ガイドブック|Nintendō Kōshiki Gaidobukku}}''' is the official Japanese strategy guide for ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''.

==Description==
Like the Japanese version of the game's boxart, it features a red slipcover with [[Samus Aran]]'s face on it, in her [[Varia Suit]]. The actual cover of the book features the younger Samus's face on it, from her time with the [[Galactic Federation Army]]. Unlike the game's slipcover however, Samus's [[Visor]] on the guide's slipcover is not translucent.

The guide is split into several chapters: Story & Cast (for the characters), System (for the controls), Tactics (a walkthrough of the game with a separate chapter for the climax of the game), Data (for enemies) and World. In the middle of the book is an editor's note warning about the [[Pyrosphere door glitch]].

The guidebook features exclusive artwork of enemies and characters, a series [[timeline]] including the [[Prime Series|''Prime'' series]] (the events of which are not alluded to in-game), and a "confidential" section at the back of the book that elaborates on plot elements. This confidential section confirms that [[James Pierce]] is the Deleter, that he killed [[K.G. Misawa]], and that [[MB]] killed James after he attempted and failed to kill her. The guide also names the [[Ring Beam Unit]]s, [[Pow]], [[Wadge]] and [[Zuru]] creatures as such, and reveals that [[Sova]]s are related to [[Geemer]]s. The timeline includes all original releases of each game up to ''Other M'', as well as re-releases and compilations such as the [[New Play Control!]] versions of ''[[New Play Control! Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime]]'' and ''[[New Play Control! Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes|Metroid Prime 2: Dark Echoes]]'', the Famicom Mini version of ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime Trilogy]]'', and even branches out to cameos in other games. These include the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', and the ''[[WarioWare]]'' games.
