| - The Mother Brain present in Metroid, its remake and Super Metroid, was originally thought to be an entity of Space Pirate origin, somehow attaining leadership over the marauding race. The Metroid manga, however, presented the bio-mechanical lifeform seen in Metroid and Zero Mission as being built by the mysterious Chozo race, long before the events of any Metroid game and prior to the manga's. When the manga is considered as canon, the only time Space Pirates were ever involved with Mother Brain's contruction was for her reappearance in Super Metroid, as stated in Metroid Prime's instruction booklet [1].

| - The Mother Brain present in Metroid, its remake and Super Metroid, was originally thought to be an entity of Space Pirate origin, somehow attaining leadership over the marauding race. The Metroid manga, however, presented the bio-mechanical lifeform seen in Metroid and Zero Mission as being built by the mysterious Chozo race, long before the events of any Metroid game and prior to the manga's. When the manga is considered as canon, the only time Space Pirates were ever involved with Mother Brain's contruction was for her reappearance in Super Metroid, as stated in Metroid Prime's instruction booklet [1]. However, weeks before the release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, several trailers were made available, with one of them showcasing the Aurora Units (also known as AUs), organic super-computers created by the Galactic Federation two decades before the events of Corruption. Not only did the Aurora Units resemble brains in glass containers, the trailer also featured blueprints of one of these constructs located in a chamber bearing an uncanny resemblance to Mother Brain's room in Tourian; the AU itself is placed in the exact location where Mother Brain is found in her appearances. The images below are a side-by-side comparison of Mother Brain's first and second chambers, with the blueprints of the future Aurora complex in-between them: File:Mother Brain chamber (M1).png File:Aurora242.png File:Mother Brain chamber (SM).png Based on this comparison, the blueprints correspond far more to Super Metroid's chamber. Further validating this connection is the official chronology of the Metroid games themselves: the manual of the first Prime states that a group of Pirates landed on Zebes following the end of Samus's first mission in order to rebuild their fortress. The entirety of the Metroid Prime series transpire during this reconstruction and before the events of Super Metroid, greatly implying the AU blueprints were ultimately used to rebuild Mother Brain's chamber (if not the entirety of Tourian), and possibly the Pirate leader herself, in time for Samus's second mission to Zebes. Finally, both Mother Brain and Aurora Units are employed as computers in the manga and Corruption respectively, having access to large digital networks and processing vast amounts of information.
