was it ever explained somewhere why the game is named "Other M"?

my umbrella goes directly to Bankai

i can't remember at all if there's an explanation for the game's name. i don't want to rewatch the cutscenes just to end up empty-handed so i thought i'd toss this here and hope someone remembers if there's an explanation (or if there's just no explanation at all)

inb4 this turns into another bitchfest. better save that for the game's anniversary in a month.

Never stressed

I don't recall any outright explanation, but I figure it's just a take you pick of "Mother anagram" or "Madeline" kind of deal. Or "Metroid" if you want to make it redundant and stupid!

I like turtles.

I suppose it could be a reference to the ending of the original Metroid but I think that might be too clever for the people who brought this game about.
