How the Metroid series timeline works

Each card is a Metroid game, from the 2D adventures to the first-person Prime entries, and you order them by release year. Only the title is printed, sometimes in a shortened form. One game begins on the timeline with its year showing. Slot each new card into a gap. A correct slot shows the year; wrong ones still land in the true spot and cost one of three lives.

Samus disappears for long stretches, then returns with several games in a short burst, so the deck has both empty patches and crowded ones. The side-scrolling and first-person lines ran side by side, which makes their relative order tricky. Remakes and retellings sit far from the games they remake. Don't lean on the story order; it won't help you here.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
