It's been a long time, but I thought the manual for the first game implied that the average in-universe rumour mill thought she was a robot because of her skill and precision.

No, at least not since not since the Canon started being developed in 2000 or so
Metroid lore is still very barebones though. If anything it seems implied that Samus shares absolutely everything with the Feds --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Feds, yes - I'm sure she's fully registered with them for legal reasons... can't go illegally bounty hunting

Well, the term "Metroid" (or at least the "oid" part of it) comes from the fact that Samus was supposed to be an android in the original game. However, that was changed later in development to make Samus a human woman.

...Is Samus a shitty bounty hunter? I mean... Samus just kills everything then blows up the planet, and who put Ridley out on bail? --- "Salt cures Everything!" My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nirakolov/videos ... Copied to Clipboard!

wait a ticI believe Retro Studios employees said in an interview that Nintendo (or at least the Nintendo rep they spoke to) doesn't really know what a bounty hunter is. They're using the phrase in a broad, all encompassing way like "cowboy". They just view her as a space super hero. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

She does get payed for the jobs (except Super Metroid, unless somehow they talked payment when she got the distress signal), but there is no "bounty" really. She is just hired to do missions. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... ... Copied to Clipboard!

The relevant text (surprisingly long but interesting):
In the year 2000 of the history of the cosmos, representatives from the many different planets in the galaxy established a congress called the Galactic Federation, and an age of prosperity began. A successful exchange of cultures and civilization resulted, and thousands of interstellar spaceships ferried back and forth between planets. But space pirates also appeared to attack the spaceships. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think the "true form is shrouded in mystery" part is just about the reveal at the end. before then, the player would wonder if "he" was an alien, or a robot, or what.

I can't remember if Star Fox are labeled as bounty hunters or mercenaries.... Captain Falcon is a bounty hunter, but might legitimately be a bail bondsman

to be fair, a bounty hunter doesn't have to mean a bail bondsman... for example, bounty hunters were any random joe killing Emu during the Great Emu War
