Metroid: The secret of Planet Zebes

It was about a month ago where I was online looking up videos on the game Metroid zero mission and I decided to see if there were any copies on amazon that were in good condition because well I'm like that. Anyways I went on to amazon and found some that didn't look too good except for five but I found one that had a little scratch underneath the advance on the cartridge but the others had tears on the paper with duck tape replaced so I bought the cartridge with the scratch underneath for £19.99 with 99p packaging. I waited around 3-5 days before the game arrived. I was so excited to start a new file. It started off with the normal opening cutscene with samus being tasked with exterminating the Metroid's on plant Zebes usual starting area with the morph ball to the left as always so I went to find some upgrades like the long beam and missiles before I decided to take on Kraid, when I went through Brinstar to get t Kraid I noticed that some the enemy's were all blueish yellow which was odd because normally they were green, orange and many other colours' but now they were only bluish yellow but I continued along my journey through the game. when I got to Kraid he actually spoke through a dialogue box saying "The secret of Zebes will be revealed soon!" before the fight began, when Kraid said about this secret of Zebes I became excited yet curious because its surprising that Zebes would hold a secret but I continued to blast him to smithereens where he proceeded to fall through the ground and exploding. After defeating kraid I decided to head to the depths of Norfair, getting the screw attack and missile expansions before heading off to face Ridley. Like kraid he spoke through a dialogue box saying " I- I cant let you f-f-ind out the secret of Zebes." I was confused on why he didn't want me to know about this secret but I proceeded to blast him with missiles. I then proceeded to head to tourian to defeat mother brain. I got to the room with the annoying orange rings and turrets and proceeded to blast mother brain with the missiles I had after killing a few metroids. When I defeated mother brain the self destruct sequence happened like usual except there was no timer but I went to the ship and proceeded to leave criteria but instead of being shot down by space pirates I got a different cutscene. The cutscene showed samus getting a new mission from the galactic federation to go to Chozodia and find out about the secret of Zebes which surprised me because I'd finally get to travel through the whole of chozodia with the power suit equipped. The space pirates weren't red as normal, they were coloured a light shade of blue like as if they were frozen to death or drowned corpes because they didn't try to chase me down hell they didn't even see me which was surprising, I felt a bit sorry for them but it didn't completely startle me though. I got to the chozo warrior engraving, Like Kraid and Ridley he also spoke through a dialogue box. it said "so you want to find out the secret of Zebes, well here it is." when it launched me into a cutscene showing me a hologram of samus running away from the space pirate mother ship and escaping while the ship explodes but after it explodes the ships crash site floods and it went inside the ship showing samus the drowned corpses of the space pirates which made me remember about the wrecked ship in super Metroid it was the exact same ship which made me feel like samus must've commited genocide. now you may be thinking if this is true then how were there no body in the wrecked ship in Super Metroid, well if there were dead bodies all the wrecked ship then the game would not be released due to graphic content. uddly the engraving proceeds to say "what happens must happen in order to keep time in order." I then turned off the game and proceeded to cry for 5 minutes thing about how samus could've not known of the result of her actions. I eventually played the game again but the game was normal after that, I saw the events once and that was all it allowed but I can never forget the images of the dead space pirates drowned in the wrecked ship.
