They would have likely borrowed technology from their later engines and backported.

Apparently it's still the same engine today as it was for Metroid Prime or Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, and probably the same for Metroid Prime 4

Engines are "modular" and are actually a group of different "engines" working together. I.E. Physics Engine, Audio Engine etc'. - So they can use the old engine and backport features from newer engines, it happens in the engine industry all the time for remasters.
