Did one of the past games include a Samus?
There's flashbacks to her childhood I think? And she's ~17 when she's with the Federation according to google, which would make her an adult at least when Prime happens.

I always understood the trope to be stuff like Madoka Magicka and thought part of the idea was "kids can be strong too" thing like with Digimon. But I guess it's more of just a mirroring of typical male cartoon protagonists mirrored over for female target audiences.
But anyway if I did something like "Shyvana is a magical girl" or "Samus" is a magical girl where it's a character that could punch your lights out before transforming that takes some of the fun out of it and that's the problem with several older cantidates.

I don't remember any flashbacks to Samus's childhood in Fusion, and the game centers entirely around an isolated and very recent tragic event and her relationship with a commanding officer so I doubt there's any that I forgot.

According to Wikipedia Fusion is chronologically last so it makes sense that samus acts mature in that game. She never leaves her suit in that game maybe she even has wrinkles who knows.

I'd suggest asking individual cases to GIF via PM. Partially because I don't recognize most of the submissions. :shifty:

They're trolling, those are League of Legends characters that very clearly fail the test.

In all the Metroid games besides Fusion you get some look at Samus without her suit on, whether it is a secret at the end or a cutscene or in the case of Super Metroid the game over animation, and she appears to probably be in her 20s. Fyi the reason Samus doesn't leave her suit in Fusion is because the suit becomes part of her body in that game.
