Chozo Bowling

The Chozo were many things; pioneers, inventors, conquerors, and more. But what you may not know is that they are avid Bowlers. Bowling used to be the most popular sport on planet Zeebees. The Chozo were obsessed with it. The Torizo statue in wrecked ship may be the only statue actually named, "Bowling Torizo," but, in fact, all of the Torizo statues are bowling trophies. The items Samus collects from them are really specialized bowling balls. The power suit? It's a Chozo bowling league uniform.

Samus and Bowling
The Chozo that raised Samus were training her to be the perfect bowling ball. Her featherless body creates a much better aerodynamic ball than that of the Chozo.

The Great Chozo Disappearance
There has been much speculation about why the Chozo disappeared from the galaxy and where they went. The answer is that they're all at an inter-dimensional bowling competition. When Zeebees "exploded", it actually was warped to the Chozo Bowling Dimension, becoming the largest Bowling Ball ever made.

Mother Brain
Everyone knows that Mother Brain was originally an organic supercomputer built by the Chozo. What they don't know is that she was initially designed entirely as the AI for the perfect bowling simulator. Mother Brain, hating Bowling, instead took up the sport of Pinball as a form of rebellion when she was in her teenage years. Thusly, the Chozo disowned her.
