Zero Mission is a remake of the original right so how does the timeline exactly go? And the metroid prime games take place before the original 1980s game right?

1. Metroid Prime (gc)
2. Metroid Prime 2 (gc)
3. Metroid Prime 3 (wii)
4. Metroid (nes)/ Metroid Zero Mission (gba)
5. Metroid 2 Return of Samus (gb)
6. Metroid 3 (snes)
7. Metroid 4 (gba)

Is this the correct timeline?

No, the Prime seies takes place between Metroid Zero Mission and Return of Samus.

1. Metroid (NES)/Zero Mission (GBA)
2. Metroid Prime (GC)
3. Metroid Prime Hunters (DS)
4. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GC)
5. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (GC)

Interesting. I wasn't aware that the Prime series took place before Super Metroid. Was Super Metroid the introduction of Mother Brain? That was the first gamne I played.

No Zero Mission introduced Mother Brain. She just returned in Super Metroid. The battle was essentailly teh same including the final chamber leading to her, Super Metroid jsut added teh additional fight with her after you break the tank.
