SA-X Appears (SA-X出現)[2] is a music track in Metroid Fusion. The track was composed by Minako Hamano, who described the chase portion of the track as the "most hysteric" she had done for the game.[1]
Description[]
SA-X Appears consists of two themes: a slow, stealth theme that plays whenever the SA-X is nearby, and a frantic theme that plays whenever the SA-X has detected Samus's presence and is chasing her. Both themes stop playing when the SA-X leaves the room without noticing Samus. Aside from the times where the SA-X is pursuing Samus, the frantic theme also plays when the Restricted Laboratory is about to be jettisoned and locked down while the SA-X attacking the Metroids; unlike the other times it is playing, the SA-X completely ignores Samus in this instance.
The SA-X's boss theme, VS. SA-X, is stylistically and instrumentally similar to the frantic chase theme, although it does appear to share the same melody.
