Line 95:
* [[Gag Sub]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wht3rRGMw28 Metroid: Other M - The reMovie] which, among other things, has Samus [[Cloudcuckoolander|monologuing about whether she should order baby-back ribs after her training exercise]], and the [[Scrappy Mechanic|authorization mechanic]] is explained away as Samus doing a [[Minimalist Run|low% run]] just to piss off Adam.
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: Several people have reported an issue where a door in Sector 3 (that you have to go through) will not open, no matter what you do. Nintendo had to accept [http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/wii/en_na/ts/metroid-other-m.jsp mail-ins for cards with save files.] They claim the cause of the bug is picking up the Ice Beam, going into the following room, killing all the enemies to open that room's next door, and then immediately backtracking into the Ice Beam room before continuing on into the room you just opened at least once. Prior to this, the fandom assumed the bug had to do with the Rhedogian boss (going back down the lift after beating the boss the first time and then saving, or going back and saving after the third fight with it).
* [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]]: According to [https://web.archive.org/web/20110905201028/http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/metroid-other-m/vol1_page4.jsp this Iwata Asks interview], a large focus during development was averting this. For example, in cutscenes, Samus retains her current health and missile count and even views things the same as the player does in first-person mode. She does still pull off some kick-ass moves the player can't do, however.
** Played mostly straight with the "Concentration" mechanic. Samus actually uses it once in a cutscene, but the maneuver itself is never justified in-story, and is instead explained in various manga released years previously.
* [[Genre Blindness]]: Adam sends Samus to a lava area without authorizing her Varia Suit (a suit that protects Samus from deadly heat and convection). Hardened Metroid players will automatically know that's virtually suicide. Only partially justified as, until the appropriate boss fight, he wouldn't expect her to do lengthy combat in that area.
