10 Video Game Fan Theories Debunked By The Creators
1. The Space Pirate Mothership Is The Wrecked Ship From Super Metroid - Metroid: Zero Mission
The Theory
2004's Game Boy Advance remake of the original Metroid, Zero Mission, introduced players to Ridley's massive spaceship HQ, the Space Pirate Mother Ship, which Samus destroys at game's end.
Many fans were initially convinced that the Space Pirate Mother Ship was actually the very same vessel as featured in the eerie "Wrecked Ship" level from 1994's Super Metroid.

"The Mother Ship and the Wrecked Ship from Super Metroid are different from each other."
