I love the detail of when you save the animals you can see their ship flying to the right as Samus’ ship flies away and in Fusion they come back save you in your hour of need as you did to them. Such a small but amazing detail. Also 1 hour and 56 minutes clear time, nice
It still is interesting that Samus was so pissed at the Ravenbeak X, that instead of absorbing it like other X, she just straight up obliterates it. I don't blame her, but still
Common misconception. The ONLY planet she destroyed was SR-388. Mother Brain had Zebes rigged to blow in the event of her death, Dark Aether was a different dimension but part of a still intact Aether, Phaaze is still intact but dormant, ZR was rigged to blow by Raven's Beak.
@@Jarock316*_Was_* that the case with ZDR? I dunno, I just felt like _that one_ just came out of nowhere. I guess because there was no voiced warning that the self-destruct sequence had been activated.
Love the little details in your gameplay, like how you made Samus look down at the Etecoon in SM or when you stopped to look at the Metroids on the restricted lab in fusion, made the thing look a lot more credible and not just Samus rushing towards a scripted escape sequence
The gameboy advance games were fun and I'm glad I played through them... but something about the pastel colors and cartoony look always rubbed me the wrong way. Especially after the look and feel of Super Metroid, the GBA games felt so silly.
I've never thought about that. The GBA games were probably my favorite, I loved the story and controls, but you're right, they lack the darkness and dread of the other games.
Ngl wasn't expecting this to omit the Prime trilogy since you forgot to specify in the title Maybe you can edit it to do say "2D Metroid Escape Sequences (1986-2021)" ?
I've been thinking about the hanubia ships. Surely the x can survive by piloting one of them to escape the planet, since we've seen some x manage to do similar feats, considering the Boiler Room situation.
Considering Raven Beak, he probably killed everyone who had the knowledge for flyers the ships after he contained the X outbreak. They still need to assimilate someone with the right memories to get space flight
I highly doubt the scientist flied any ships. I could be wrong. Although, what if instead of ending the boiler situation, you HAD to evacuate, and went down to SR388? Hmmm?...
4:02 Seriously? Clam slamming? This is why we can't have nice things.... 😂 5:42 Now camping!? You have the most badass Bounty Hunter to rival Bobba Fett from Star Wars and you have to camp.....that's so unde....wait, Boba Fett's also sneaky, nevermind as you were.
MP2: Echoes.... planetary inter-dimensional destruction and your only way out was small portal and Metroid Prime cosplaying as you was blocking your way.
I'd have to say dread. With the technology advancements, it was able to be a lot more immersive. Running back through the areas that you've been through, but also going through new areas that have been exposed through explosions.
Ah Samus Returns. Seeing the destroyed chozo statue, followed by a save station, even if you are new to the series… that should be setting off ALL the red flags.
it is. Especially since I never play the NES version, I’m not used to the controls. I’m so used to the physics and everything is zero Mission to the point where the original is a nightmare.
@@BenSchappacher for sure, im playing the whole franchise over again and the nes game just doesnt feel right after playing super and the gba games for many yrs. I rarely play the original
now if you wonder why she didnt just suit off and go in zero suit, the answer is simple , in zero mision she learned that she must not suit off when escaping from the enemy base even if you are on your ship otherwise youll regret it latter
Let's be honest, most of those times, it's the main villain just being a petty sore loser. *Mother Brain in particular, **_Jesus Christ,_** learn to take an L miss infanticide!* I do wonder about ZDR blowing up, though. It didn't seem like any self-destruct sequence had been activated at all, so why did it suddenly start blowing up? I didn't see Raven Beak engage any self-destruct, nor did I hear any warning recprding saying the self-destruct was activated. So why *_did_* ZDR blow up?! 🤨
@MrDibara I think the self-destruct was triggered by the destruction of the base. It could of been the control center for the planet, and without it to regulate the power, it builds and builds until it reaches critical levels. And then... *KABOOM*
@@Jarock316 Problem with is, _there is literally nothing to base that around._ There was no warning, no buildings, nothing at the crash site... there was simply a countdown right after Samus vaporizes that X. I guess the closest possibility is that Raven Beak might've programmed the planet's self destruct to detonate if he was killed. That is what someone else suggested. I think that makes sense, since if he fails to capture the power of the Metroids all for himself, then ZDR just becomes an X-infested death trap. So whether it was as a final revenge on Samus or just a precaution to wipe out the X, this theory does sound more plausible. *Again, I just wished we heard a voiced intercom* (in Chozo language as well) *warning that the self-destruct had been activated.* The way it was left in the game, it kinda just... _happens_ outta nowhere.
That's true. My thought would be that the entire planet was probably rocked by the crash of Itorash landing on the surface of Hanubia. That probably triggered it, if anything.
What I want to know is.... Where the hell does Samus keep getting those new gunships after zero mission? I mean, it'd be one thing if it were just mzm's ship and Metroid 2/super Metroid, but she has a three different ships between Metroid zero mission and Metroid 2 alone. (Prime 1 ship, prime 2 ship, prime 3 ship) And then she just has the super Metroid ship until fusion.
My assumption is that the Metroid 2/Super Metroid/Other M ship was supplied by the federation. Fusion/Dread’s gunship was (stated in the intro to Fusion). The prime games I have no clue (Could be argued they’re non canon, but who knows). But if you think about it, what happened to the space pirate ship she stole at the end of zero mission?
@@BenSchappacherProbably sold it to a scrapper for extra credits. _Hey man, a girl's gotta buy herself a decent ship in this galaxy._ 🤷♂️ As for the other Gunships, _frankly, I think most were bought by Samus herself with her bounty rewards._ I mean, they all share a "Chozo style" coloring, similar to her own armor. She probably ordered those to be customized during construction. I think the only Gunship that the Federation directly provided to her was the purple one, mostly because they were on a timetable to send Samus to investigate the BSL station. And since ADAM is in this new Gunship, well, why would Samus get a new one later?
You should probably tweak the title a bit. I only saw side scroller ones. However... Ahh... Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission... When you could abuse the wall jump.
Why didn't you include Metroid Prime Space Pirate Frigate, Metroid Prime 2 Sky Temple with the battle of Dark Samus, and Metroid Other M Self Destruct Sequence of the Bottle ship after the battle with Phantoon?
@@theodoromatias9017and you said "Metroid II: Return Of samus" which is refering to the orinal Gameboy game and not AM2R which is a separate thing lmao. also AM2R still doesnt have a chase sequence in the end with the mini metroid lmao. What is even your argument here?
I'm still lost as to why Samus lost her suit when she was shot down in Zero Mission. The suit is part of her DNA; it's not provided by her ship or zero suit. It's a cool game sequence, but it messes with the lore.
It's not really in her DNA, the suit can be 'summoned' by her focusing her mind and since it's still machinery, it can malfunction like any other machine. Remember in Metroid Prime when Samus is escaping the Frigate Orpheon in the first part of the game, her suit starts losing features when she's escaping. What's on her DNA is the ability to be flexible and super athletic granted by the Chozo.
@@hecatia666 I agree with the mechanical malfunction part, but I think it's biomechanical and its stored on her person, like it's a part of her. That's what I mean by it being in her DNA. Bare with me now; some references I'll bring up have been debated if they are canon or not. In the manga, Mother Brain tells Samus that she helped the Chozo turn Samus into a bioweapon, and that MB made the power suit. There are a few panels where Samus is like 7 looking at her suit for the first time while it's being developed in a tank. The suit reaches its left hand out to her, like it already recognizes who it belongs to before she even makes contact with it. Now how come all the other Chozo didn't have a power suit like Samus did? Gray Voice had a suit, but it didn't have an arm cannon and boosters on the back. It looked like an older design. Dread sheds some light on this by teaching us about the difference between the Thoha Chozo and the Mawkin Chozo. I see the Thoha and the Mawkin tribes as two separate societies with their own cultures and leadership, but they occasionally join forces when it's mutually beneficial. I don't think there was contention between the two tribes until Raven Beak showed up to SR388 and killed the Thoha before they could kill the Metroids. The Thoha tribe on Zebes needed Samus to be the most powerful and capable warrior among them, so they called up Raven Beak to donate his DNA to Samus. Raven Beak is the only Chozo we see with an arm cannon, so we know he is unique among all Chozo. Because Samus now has his DNA, Mother Brain was able to make a power suit similar to Raven Beak's and make it for Samus. It's not like Samus puts the suit on like a Marine dressing up, or Iron Man stepping in and out of his suit. She just focuses and then it forms around her. It's like the data for it is stored in her body so she can activate and shut it down at will. Besides that one scene in the manga, we never see Samus looking at her empty suit. She's either wearing the suit, or the suit isn't materialized. I haven't anybody else wear her suit; a stretch for that could be the X parasite that infected her and used her surgically removed suit parts in Fusion. She doesn't have other suits sitting on a shelf; it's been the same power suit getting upgraded, modified, and surgically changed. In Fusion, she gets plenty of her suit surgically removed and then she's injected with Metroid DNA, so that's why the suit is so scrawny and fleshy. As time passes into Dread, her suit has regained much of it's bulk. The developers of Dread explain that the power suit is gradually returning to it original form. I don't see that as a Metroid DNA ability; I see that as a power suit ability. If she had survived the infection via surgery but without being injected with Metroid DNA, I'm inclined to believe the suit would have still started to regrow it's removed portions. Long rant, I know. Dread really got me into the lore of this series, to the point where I'm writing a three part fan-fic about what I could see happening after Dread lol.
@@BenSchappacher Do you think the original power suit was gone completely after the crash and then replaced by the Full Powered Suit, or the original suit was repaired and upgraded into the Full Powered Suit? I see it as the latter.
@@johnleonard9102 it would make more sense if it were to be an upgrade to the original power suit, but that explanation made the most sense to me. Or, maybe the original power suit still exists, it was just damaged in the crash, rendering it useless.
@@BenSchappacher it’s a good thing anything short of Metroids, the X, , Dark Samus and Space Pirates won’t attract Samus’ attention and cause her to come here
I honestly thought about it. I still have the footage from when i played it 4 years ago. I might do another AM2R series soon, and i might remake this video along with it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Tn5alw1Hg8.html
I played that game when my 3DS circle pad was broken so it was especially bad for me... I had to aim to make Samus stop running as the circle pad still registered input after I let go. It took way more tries than it should have otherwise.
