Metroid Prime is a Phazon mutated Metroid found in the Impact Crater on Tallon IV. It is armed with numerous weapons including versions of Samus's beam weapons that can fire sustained blasts. With the exception of the Wave Beam, which momentarily disables the visor, Metroid Prime's beam weapons have the same effect as Samus's. It also has a Snare Beam which is a green light which traps Samus Aran and pulls her to himself.
Battle
Samus battles it in several chambers, and Metroid Prime becomes increasingly aggressive and uses more attacks the more Samus damages it. Metroid Prime's weakpoint, its head, is vulnerable to the beam weapon it is currently using (which Samus can tell by the color of Metroid Prime is). An example would be if Metroid Prime is purple, he will be using and be affected by the Wave Beam, yellow for Power Beam, white for Ice Beam, and red for Plasma Beam. However it will shift the weapons in an attempt to avoid attacks. Sometimes Metroid Prime will try and ram into Samus and she will need to use her Morph Ball to escape. After Samus defeats Metroid Prime's exoskeleton, it falls down a long shaft. After Samus follows it, Metroid Prime's core essence attacks her.
While in its core form, Metroid Prime attacks with large shocks waves and is also capable of becomes invisible and spawning a variety of Metroids. None of Samus's normal weapons can damage Metroid Prime, though by standing in pools of Phazon it generates, Samus can power her Phazon Beam and use it to defeat Metroid Prime.
After Samus defeats Metroid Prime, it latches onto her. Samus manages to escape at the cost of her Phazon Suit. Metroid Prime later uses the suit to become Dark Samus.
Metroid Prime Pinball
Metroid Prime also appears on the Impact Crater table in Metroid Prime Pinball. In this game, Metroid Prime is battled in both its exo and core forms. It will attack Samus with an energy blast while Metroids occasionally appear while in its exo form. When in its core form, Metroid Prime can fire energy blasts and homing projectiles.
