The Metroid Life Cycle

Metroids are the most dangerous entities and evolve over time if not killed.

  • Metroid (Larva): 20 HP. Latches onto the player's head and drains energy. Must be frozen with Ice Beam to be killed easily.
  • Alpha Metroid: 80 HP. Developed a shell; hovers and charges the player.
  • Gamma Metroid: 150 HP. Larger, uses electrical attacks.
  • Zeta Metroid: 250 HP. Fast, ground-based predator with high melee damage.
  • Omega Metroid: 400 HP. Massive, heavily armored beast that breathes fire.
  • Queen Metroid: 1000 HP. The final boss; spawns in specialized structures. Requires Power Bombs to damage internally.

Blocks and Ores

Metroid Cubed adds several blocks for world generation and utility.

  • Chozo Iron Ore: Found deep underground. Smelted into Chozo Iron Ingots for basic suit crafting.
  • Phazon Ore: Highly radioactive blue ore. Touching it without a Phazon Suit causes rapid damage. Used for endgame upgrades.
  • Chozo Statue: Rare structures that contain a single upgrade item in their hands.
  • Save Station: A block that, when right-clicked, sets the player's spawn point and fully restores energy and ammo.
  • Missile Door: Blocks that can only be destroyed by Missiles (Blue) or Super Missiles (Green).
  • Tallon IV Grass/Stone: Decorative blocks found in Metroid-themed biomes.
