ReptillicusDiorama4
One of the Dioramas in Corruption.

This is a feature unlockable in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid Prime Trilogy. A Diorama is a 3D model of a location. In the games, there are several Dioramas to unlock in the Bonus Gallery. The player will need Friend Credits to purchase them. The base for each is shaped like a Metroid.

These Dioramas are not considered canon to the storyline and some are completely irrelevant, as they feature settings and events that never happen in the game. For example, Samus is shown in her Varia Suit in all the dioramas, despite the fact that during the events depicted, she was in her PED suit.

Non-canon warning: This article or section contains information that may not be considered an official part of the Metroid series in the overall storyline by Nintendo.

The first diorama represents the fight between Samus and Ridley at Norion. Notably, Samus' Arm Cannon is upside down.

The Reptilicus worship Samus.

This diorama depicts a number of Reptilicus Hunters worshipping Samus, who is on a throne. A Bryyonian Labor Golem can be seen behind her, and is part of the throne.

Mogenar battleEdit

This diorama shows the battle between Mogenar and Samus (in Morph Ball form), and seems to be set in Bryyo Fire. There are several pillars with onlooking Reptilicus Hunters, and some are toppling over.

Steamlord battleEdit

Samus charges at the Steamlord.

Samus can be seen charging at the Steamlord, over the remains of the Defense Drone. Serveral Aerial Repair Drones can be seen observing the action.

Ghor battleEdit

This diorama features a battle between Ghor and Samus. Several Chozo Ghosts can be seen in a circle around the battle. It appears to be set on the Main Docking Bay, where the actual battle took place.

Aurora Unit battleEdit

The AU faces Samus in this Diorama.

Samus fights the corrupted Aurora Unit 313 on Phaaze. Three Dark Echoes can be seen watching the battle. The diorama appears to be set in the Sanctum, which is where Samus fought 313.

Design NotesEdit

Five of the six dioramas were designed by Matt Manchester. Here are his notes:

"At the end of the project, I made several dioramas that could be purchased using points acquired through playing the game. These were made quickly, and use many assets created by many other artists at retro. I made the bases for the dioramas, and arranged them all into a scene, using characters made by Quinn Smith, Danny Richardson, Ben Sprout, Andrew Jones, Elben Schafers, and Ian Olsen. Sorry if I forgot anyone!"

On ConceptArt.org's forums, he had this to say about the dioramas:

"They were one of the most fun tasks in some respects. It was liking playing legos with the art assets that the whole team had built up to that point. You could whip a bunch of interesting scenes together real fast." [1]

Non-canon warning: Non-canonical information ends here.

TriviaEdit

  • In the Meta Ridley trophy, Samus Aran's Arm Cannon is upside-down. [2] Matt Manchester claimed that this was the only one he did not work on.[3]
  • According to Manchester: "I affectionately refer to the Bryyo Throne diorama as "King Conan.""[4]
