Zeebees was a planet in space, full of innocent creatures minding their own business. That is until it got blown up by Samus, destroyer of worlds. Before it's implausible destruction, it had a rich ecosystem full of creatures that conveniently move around in preordained patterns for all eternity. Some conspiracy theorists believe that this is due to a strange curse on Zeebees, cast by an unknown entity.

## Colonization

Eventually, the Chozo decided to take over the entire planet, and made a giant temple. They also decided to build an A.I to manage the place, as that *totally* has never gone wrong in a Sci-Fi setting... Right? She then unexpectedly turned on them. Eventually, the Space Pirates decided to show up, right after stealing the Metoids and leaving Urtraghus. The Pirates Colonized the Colony and then built a giant-er base and then decided to take advice from a Brain in a pickle jar.

## Geography

Zebes had a vast network of underground caverns and labyrinths that led deep into the planet. Zebes was cut in half in the great 2D bowling mishap of 1483 when a bowling ball flattened until it had 0 depth (a bowling disc, if you will), sliced through it at the equator. You are actually watching the game on the planar interior surface of a bisected planet.

### Brinstar

A deep cavernous area in the planet known as Brinstar seemed to be the home of more than 60% of the planet's wildlife. Brinstar was home to a dense forest, yet the vegetation did not seem to have anything to photosynthesize. They quickly were killed off when Ridley, after being dared to do so, set it on fire. Afterwards, it grew back after the Pirates moved back in and dumped Fertilizer in a hole. Brinstar was also home to Science Team's greatest security system of all time; The N00b bridge.

### Crateria

The Surface, Dubbed Crateria, was a rocky, mountainous area with grass and plants, and is cold. It is always raining, except for when it's not.

### Notfair

Notfair was the standard hot area, required in pretty much every game, as without it, there isn't any reason to include the Varia Suit. The rocks vary in type; There were:

* Green rocks
* Floating Gray rocks
* Red volcanic rocks
* Glass bubbles
* Blue bubbles
* Green bubbles

The bubbles were from the East-most side of Notfair, with the iconic Great Bubble Mountain having been a feature landmark and Tourist destination on Zeebees. Bubble Mountain used to be called Pustule Precipice, but due to public outcry, the name was changed to a more family-friendly moniker. One day, tragedy struck. One pin... one pin was all it took, and the great bubble mountain came crashing down into a heap of green sludge. Reconstruction efforts were undergone, but it will never be the same again.

Notfair was the second most frustrating area in Zeebees, but proves no match for the single-handedly most annoying location in the series: **Maridia**. Maridia was the marsh area, with a large TUUUUUUBE that you can shatter, which leads into a nightmare world full of slow-mo parkour, Grapple beam nonsense, Quicksand, and a boss you have to let drain half your health to kill.

## Elevator System

Connecting all of the areas together is a large network of elevators; Zebes originally had escalators instead of elevators, but they were scrapped due to the extra space required to have one for "up" and one for "down." Despite having the role of easy transport between areas, they move incredibly slow, despite being made by the most technologically advanced species in the galaxy. The elevators on Zebes can actually move much faster; they just like being in control of the morning commute. Many complaints have been issued about giving sentience to elevators; none have been recieved. The Elevators were mostly used as a fusion powered Bowling Ball retrieval system.

## Trivia

* Zeebees is pronounced "Zeebs", and any who disagree will be sentenced to death for treason of the highest degree.
* Norfair Fried Reo was the most popular fast food chain on Zebes before everyone died in a fiery inferno as their planet split beneath their feet and their ashen husks were hurled into space to scatter on the cosmic winds.
* For the Australian release of Super Metroid in 1994, Nintendo had to rename "Lower Norfair" to "Upper Norfair" to comply with localization regulations.
