Which planet does Metroid II take place on?

[Grimlock]

Does anyone know the name of the planet Metroid 2 takes place on?  I haven't had any luck finding info on it. 

Basically this is the location that my prequel hack takes place (Metroid home world).

I would like to reference the name of the planet in my hack (if it has one).

SR388

LV426

Earthh

Actually, technically you are correct.  :grin:  Of course it would be difficult to verify that no one plays Metroid 2 on one of the other billion + planets in our universe.

Yep SR388. The planet you blow up in Fusion...

edit: or does it? I forget... I know the space station explodes.

edit2: Yeah, checked the wiki. It does.

You don't blow up SR388, you "only" crash a space station into it. Which, sure, is a catastrophic event, but I doubt the entire planet blew up.

Nope. iirc, the entire planet is destroyed, wiping out the X Parasite.

Jefe is right.  The planet is caught in the vaporization field of the station's explosion, destroying the whole mess....... somehow.

Kte: The station crashes into SR388, which destroys it.

Must've been a fuckin big station

According to the in game cutscene it was not very big at all. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ErIS8cDIA) at 4:11. It has to be the self destruct explosion. (that had to be one huge explosion...)

As far as I understood it, the station was set to crash into the area where the X was found in order to cause as much damage as possible. I never read into it as the whole planet stopped being a thing. :I

There didn't appear to be any of SR388 left when the ship flew away. Besides, it wouldn't be the first time Samus accidentally a whole planet.

As far as the parallels between the alien and metroid universes go, LV426 is a planetoid, not a planet. SR388 (and probably Zebez, too, judging from its low gravity properties) may be pretty small celestial bodies.

This is a pretty old thread. Might want to avoid posting if it's older than a month or so; I believe the forum tells you this. Going to lock this thread.
