Sector 6 (NOC)

A map of the BSL Station's Sector 6. Includes all item and boss locations.

Sector 6 (NOC) is the nocturnal sector in Metroid Fusion on the BSL research station. This is an environment that simulates cavernous habitats, mainly for nocturnal creatures. Samus first encounters Blue X throughout this sector, who actively seek her out to cause her damage. Once the Varia Suit is recovered, these Blue X flee from the sight of Samus not only here, but in Sector 5 as well. The entrance to the Restricted Lab is found in this sector, which is only accessible after obtaining the Wave Beam.

Description

Sector 6 is a dark area in which the circular light surrounding Samus is always on. It is comprised mostly of cavern-like areas, although several futuristic styled areas are accessible. Adam seems to have a mysterious forboding when sending Samus to this area; it is later revealed to be because of the Restricted Lab and secret Metroid breeding project hidden in the sector.

Trivia

• When Fusion is played on a Nintendo DS (including enhanced versions) or an emulator on a computer, the background is almost as bright as the spotlight around Samus. This is because these systems use a much brighter screen than the GBA.
• Sector 6 is the first (and currently only) nocturnal area explored in the Metroid series.
