Metroid: Samus Returns - All Bosses (No Damage) 

The problem is that only the larval state has the energy draining capabilities, which are the reason they’re so sought after: that attack kills extremely quickly and is extremely difficult to defend against or counter. The metroid mutations are strong but they don’t have that same deadly ability larval metroids have.

Metroid prime would like to argue otherwise

So would am2r Ωs. One of ‘em took out the rescue team.

@@ASquared544 Friends on the evolutionary path they take. Hunter and Phazon metroids still have the energy drain ability The danger of Metroids is that they’re basically programmed to become the top predator of any biosphere they end up in

@@ASquared544 Are you sure about that? All of the Metroids you fight can drain multiple energy tanks with a single hit and faster than a larval Metroid can

Makes me want to see their interpretation of Super Metroid. I have confidence they'd do it proper justice

@@alpharabbit2353 after what we saw in dread Hell yeah

@@alpharabbit2353 A Super Metroid with Aeion abilities and actually good controls? Sign me the hell up.

Having been harassed by that robot for half the game, she’d totally be done with that thing’s bullshit

Bro that's so true, I never get tired of that scene, she doesn't even look at that, just charges her beam and smash the head of that freaking diggernaut, it was indeed a pain in the butt in the game but just beating the crap out of him was so satisfying and this scene is just the cherry on the pie.

No kidding. I know Metroid are supposed to be a big threat to the galaxy but if this Metroid lived and grew up to Queen Metroid, would it be safe? We'll never know....

On 18:10 the baby Metroid was like "Get off my mommy!!!!"

@@Gazing-09 yeah once metroids reach their first stage of evolution, they pretty much go out of control and go against anything that stands in it’s way, even their own creators were rejected by them and thus lead to another chozo tribe to take care of the situation. That didn’t go well…

@@Gazing-09 and

I would have never given it away and tried to prevent it's Evolution

In my opinion, mercurysteam saved Metroid as a whole. The previous two entries before Samus Returns were garbage, and it's possible that Metroid could've ended if Nintendo didn't do something to fix it. Samus Returns was the light that Metroid needed, and they've kept the series alive with SR and Dread.

Awe, the feelsbadman meme. Brings back memories before the alt right made pepe the frog a symbol of hate

Gives more merit to you for winning without those mechanics. I feel the same way today 😅, and that's what I'm telling myself.

I'll admit, my first thought was that you're supposed to use Phase Drift to avoid getting pushed into the wall. Kinda glad it's not like that, Aeion management takes enough mental energy as is LMAO

@@Bullboy_Adventures Yeah, let's just not use anything that someone bad also used because they have the power to turn anything they touch into something bad even if it's totally innocent, right? Or at least you're giving them that power. Pepe is still being used across twitch and gaming communities, and for the longest time I didn't even know about any supposed connotation. I assume many others don't either. Let it stay that way, and the good guys win.

You spent an hour? I spent a day

To be fair, Kraid was a joke because that was a much more experienced Samus who had already defeated Kraid twice Like, this game is BEFORE Super Metroid- where Samus defeats Kraid for the second time

​@@impartialknockbacknot to mention that unlike ridley kraid doesnt have agility on his side with that size

@@gabiwolf1439Kraid is a joke compared to Ridley

Kraid was giant and bulky. Too gargantuan to barely move around. The original Kraid had some space but Samus used her agility to get around, over, and on his spikes he shoots along with his other attacks. And Kraid was easily agitated, opening his mouth when his face has been shot, leaving his open mouth vulnerable to attacks. Kraid despite his efforts was unable to stop Samus twice on Zebes. Whatever was left of him was also destroyed by the planet's destruction. His clone Kraid in Dread had one disadvantage. Being restrained while the rest of his lower body was deep in lava. Obviously, Raven Beak had his boys keep him chained down and have some way to eliminate him should he escape. That's my opinion anyhow. Kraid didn't get to move around much while Samus was thrashing him. His anger had being bested only got Kraid furious and broke out of his restraints, which was already bad enough because if his restraints were completely broken, he would be incinerated by the lava. Which is exactly what happened after his defeat. Samus already knew that as dangerous as Kraid was, he was restrained and literally is in lava which is a death trap on its own. All she had to do is make him undo the shackles and collar and the lava itself would finish him. Samus already defeated him twice, and she had to beat him down and let the once mighty Kraid survived by his clone on short time more or less take himself out.

​@@Macadamian111hey no one cuestioned why was kraid theres assuming his defeat how end in that planet AND much important how he always survive what is the purple guy AND concluiding even dead ridley's body has no respect literally a space parasyte take his form

It also explains why Ridley knew that station had the baby there in Metroid 3.

Thanks, that’ll come in handy!

The first one you fight (the one shown here) is before Diggernaut and as such, before Power Bombs

I think they look like a Metroid version of Godzilla but shrunken down lol

​@@kamakuragaming hey me kinda too

To me they look like Xenomorphs minus the second jaw.

I think metroids and xenomorphs are related they have evolution and a queen

One of the best moments in the game.

I think that diggernaut's head looks like the tester's

Well yeah, am2r is just a silly fangame, nowhere near an official metroid game.

@@dippking4638 Although it did a great job with its concepts for being a fangame.

@@theoriginal____starwalker oh yeah absolutely, its an archivement by itself, atleast the community is active and aprecciate the franchise so thats really cool.

I still gotta say that the queen fight on the fan game felt epic unlike the single stage fight on the official and more appropriate as a final boss, plus having ridley show up literally out of nowhere is jarring

Yeah

Maybe the Chozo used Arachnus DNA as the base for the Metroid

@@paulhemebert496 or perhaps the other way around as well

When I first saw this game I thought he WAS the form in-between gamma and zeta

Maybe the Space Pirates modified a Metroid thus, creating Arachnus

@@Just_Ants If I remeber correctly, the space pirates have not visitided SR388

Who knows they might just do it or not who knows.

Buy a 2ds they are like 30$/bones in my area

Use an emulator on pc.

@@pk6700 I use Mac

@@spaceman6753 It works on Macs that don't use M1 chipsets

@@internetguy7319Also why play an emulator when you got the real thing.

He never should have been a final boss. He's just a random space pirate commander. He's nowhere near as powerful as his leader mother brain, or as a queen metroid, or as the SA-X, or as Raven Beak, and especially not as any form of Metroid Prime. His strongest incarnation was Omega Ridley from Corruption, and even then I doubt that he would as strong as a Queen Metroid, yet in this game he steals the finale for himself. It's nonsense.

@@legrandliseurtri7495 not as strong as mother brain? maybe in super but in zero mission she just shoots a laser that is not even that powerfull also in super he is the most difficult boss of the game

​@@legrandliseurtri7495 Good job showing your complete lack of understanding about Ridley, going on about power levels and other garbage when it's his personal history with Samus that's important here.

@@MoonstruckMelody The ''personal history'' that only exists in fucking Other M and mangas.

Which boss?

@@sizzle5775 The one that looks like a turtle. Didn't realize I didn't put a timestamp in my comment

@@TheMarionick Arachnus?

@@sizzle5775 Idk what his name was but he turned into a ball and jumped around

@@TheMarionick yeah that's arachnus. I'm assuming this is your first 2D Metroid game as he is a re-occuring boss in the series.

Samus returns is essentially a mission zero remake So maybe we will se a fusion remake

@@kezo1410it’s not at all. They are completely different. Zero Mission is a remake of the first game for the NES and Samus Returns is a remake of the second one for the GB. They don’t even resemble each other in any iteration.

​@@michaelasaro2885I think they meant that Samus returns is for Metroid II what Zero mission is for Metroid 1

You think super needs a remake???

@@theycallmejpj imagine super in dread style

It's the zetas isn't it?

@@mr.mothly oh yeah the zetas do kinda look like xenomorphs

Funfact that's because metroid is inspired by aliens

Theoretically, it could have. But because of what happens at the end of Super Metroid, that wouldn't ever happen

I think it does not evolve into the next face because it was fed excessively or was experimented on. It just gets bigger and sucks more energy. It's called the "Super Metroid" (what gives the game its title, as well as being in the Super Nintendo)

@@aetherinfuse I think the name was a happy accident tbh. Because for the SNES lots of titles had Super in it.

Looks more like a giant rat with a ton of eyes

If you are referring to the one that looks like a velociraptor that's a Zeta Metroid, Omega are the ones that look like buffed up Zetas with the big mouth

Thanks, I try that. I can't beat it on hard mode. I keep dying on the attack with green balls, where the fire goes on the ceiling and back wall, and then on the floor, leaving nowhere to go.

@@richardchaney7295 ok. I don't know which attacks it can cancel but I'm sure glad this could help you a lot :)

@@richardchaney7295 also some attacks can be avoided if you morph ball under the queen metroid's head. Like she doesn't shoot the fire underneath her own head if I recall correctly

@@CreamDollYT Thanks, I beat it on hard mode. Now it's just Ridley left.

@@richardchaney7295 ok I'm glad I could help.

Oh shut up, do you ever get sick of b&@ching about this game? Most of us actually like Samus Returns.

Not cute

Also free aim.

It's possible the evolved forms were an accident, as the larval Metroids were dealing with the X with little issue.

@@syweb2 they *were* an accident. It's been stated that the Chozo did not account for the Metroids to undergo metamorphosis and turn violent against them

It should have been the Switch to begin with.

_Every_ enemy's body disintegrates in this game, with the exception of Diggernaut because it's a huge robot.

@@syweb2 yeah, but are the majority of the metroids. Ridley also does not disintegrate. Edit: I mean the planet's biggest population is metroids.

@@yokai59loi36 Ridley doesn't disintegrate because he's not dead.

Also arachnus gets infected by the x

@@finnvaneekelen4966 thanks for reminding me. Yeah that disproved my theory.

easily

@@sasook I Think Rave beak arm cannon is not compatible to Ice Beam

@@thenoob_artist0586 He has a built-in hyper beam

Other the fact that both AM2R and Samus Returns are remakes of Return of Samus I don't even know why people are even comparing them to each other, they look practically nothing like each other excluding the fact that there both side scrollers.

Nintendo doesn't care. Recognition should be going to the developers at Mercury Steam.

@samq1004 Whatever. You know what I mean.

It isn’t, but it’s still very good. Dread wouldn’t exist without this game.

@@sasook Or well, it prolly would, just not with the mechanics that SR gave us

I think this one is still solid, but Dread is the better game as they refined the controls and the bosses are more intuitive.

You can stop Samus and aim freely just by pressing R on 3ds. He just aimed wrongly this second.

@@hugo9766 Yes, anyone who has played this game knows that, but it's very obvious he's playing on an emulator and without an analog stick. It's easy to tell, because whenever he's aiming, he's obviously standing in place (as you would with the L button), but he aims in either a perfect diagonal, or in a 30-degree angle. On actual hardware is almost impossible, due to how the Circle Pad works. If you have a 3DS, you know what I'm talking about. And also, as someone who has played this game on 3DS for hundreds of hours, to the point that I can beat every boss without taking a hit, I can tell you it's very evident he has no idea what he's doing (as if it's the first time he's played this game), and that his movement is extremely weird and erratic, to the point where he if he was playing on original hardware with that level of skill, he'd get hit non stop. I call save sates or slowed-down play speed. See, it's very evident that against the Alpha Metroid at 0:23, he shows he doesn't understand you can only hurt it with missiles, yet he avoids getting hit regardless. At 2:20 he doesn't recognize the extremely obvious floor electrify attack telegraph, to the point he's about to get hit, but manages to get a frame-perfect jump before the attack is executed, so he avoids it. After killing the Gamma Metroid, he stands in place, and aims perfectly diagonally up and shoots at the door. At 3:09, he performs a perfect turn-around in the air while fighting the Zeta Metroid, which is downright physically impossible to do with a Circle Pad. Not only that, but he keeps jump-firing the Zeta Metroid during the fight, because he can't aim at it, whereas any 3DS player would just stand in place and shoot at it, because the Circle Pad allows you to do this. This is not to mention yet again, that at 4:18, he fails to recognize the timing for the parry, misses it, and then performs, yet again, a frame-perfect jump to avoid getting hit. I could go on and on, but you get the point. Ngl, I was kinda hyped for this video, because it's always a delight to see masterfully skilled players pull off challenges such as this, but this guy is just an unskilled, cheating fraud lol.

@@hfc2x I've made a mistake. I thought he was being aggressive, and I overeacted. I finished this game for the first time à week ago, and was a bit salty, since I sucked at it. I honestly was amazed by the skill of the player, and I misunderstood the comment. My bad. (Didn't know you have emulator for 3ds, ty for that)

I understood you wrongly, sorry for that.

That's one of the few complaints I have with this Metroid game, and it is that they didn't thought of giving continuity to Metroid Fusion. It's a great remake, but what would've made it perfect for me was to add details like the ones AM2R did. At a point in the game I thought there were too much Alpha Metroids, the developers could've easily cut down a few and use that time and resources to make bosses of Metroid Fusion, since they're supposed to be creatures fron SR388, what the heck, they could've made them regular enemies but a little tougher than the rest so they'd seem like actual part of the ecosystem.

AM2R is overrated.

He isn't an SR388 native, only the first zone in Fusion was a SR388 clone

thanks for the spoiler

@@crybaby3150 🤦‍♂️

@@anwenlokier2292 No, this baby Metroid is the same one that died at the end of Super Metroid, Samus was turned into a Metroid because of the Metroid vaccine she got to fight off the X-parasites in Fusion.

While you are correct, this is not the full story. Basically, after the Baby Metroid dies at the end of Super, Samus went back to SR388 and got infected by an X Parasite. In response, the Galactic Federation used remains from the baby Metroid to create a vaccine, which in turn made Samus herself part Metroid.

It's kind of generic; I can easily see it being compared to a Touhou attack.

@@syweb2 yeah it does

I don't see the resemblance as the fights feel completely different. The only thing they have in common is that they are difficult robot bosses guarding an upgrade.
