To this day the GF Trooper being revealed to be Gandrayda is one of the craziest twists I've ever experienced in a game. I had completely forgotten she was in this game let alone that she can transform, and when she started laughing at me I honestly felt pretty dumbfounded and stupid. She legit got me good.

The music in this trilogy is so underrated

To me Gandrayda honestly seemed like the most stable next to Samus. Seeing her become corrupted hurt my heart.

Very cool and underrated videogame character

Gandrayda may have been hard to hit, but that kinda made the fight more fun. When she died, it was a nice touch that she cries out for Samus' help while she transforms into her current state (complete with the Hypermode effect if still in Hypermode before the cutscene).

I beat her with 1 HP left, no joke. I had two HP, then almost died to the acid rain. I kept jumping around and spamming seeker missiles! I wasn't even paying attention to her lifebar when the battle ended, so I thought I died for a moment! Excellent boss, great music, and such a satisfying feeling beating it by the skin of my teeth!

I think the game's story progresses a lot like the 5 stages of grief. Denial: The scientists utilize your phazon mutation into a PED version of your own suit. They assure you that they found no corruption, and problems don't prop up until midway through the jungle planet, where you have the potential of becoming another Dark Samus. And then you encounter Rundas. You're unaware that he is no longer in control until he attacks. Rundas himself... looks like he's fighting against his own corruption. Anger: Definately comes to a head when you see Ghor. He, unlike Rundas, attacks you directly and takes on an agressive tone when he upgrades. Plus, he has the red hot plasma beam. Samus herself shoots at the Dark Samus hologram after beating him. Bargaining: A bit more subtle, but Gandrayda here disguises herself as a disressed trooper to get your attention. When you kill her, she reaches out to you. And don't even get me started on her grapple attack. No homophobe or anything, but damn, I'm not the only one seeing this, right? Depression: By the time she dies, Samus has just had it. The victory against the last hunter just seems hollow, as the last of her friends is absorbed. Her expression displays more emotion than most of Other M. And on Phaaze, the phazon begins to eat away at her much like depression. It will transform her lest she confront her dark side. Acceptance: And that's what she does. Players who obtained over 75 percent of the upgrades will see a bonus cutscene where she reflects upon the victims of this war, quite possibly releived that her friends' deaths were not in vain.

8:50 Good luck sleeping to that.

at 8:51 you can just see the shock in samus' eyes.

That scream though...really scared me back then.

That scream at the end of the Boss Fight still scares the shit out of me to this very day.

This part took me by surprise I wasn’t expecting her to show up so soon

You know what I find very funny is that by her first transformation may have been an indication of Sylux and she may have fought or seen Sylux before. For those who don't know in FF Sylux is apparently seen to what looks to be wearing a G.F. Suit or something similar.

You rarely see such a graceful boss, don'tcha?

Am I the only one who heard the warning beeping in Samus's suit before Gandrayda opened fire in the GF Marine form?

Easily one of the best bosses in the trilogy

0:50 “Recording to logbook”

Nice video, I love the soundtrack of Gandrayda

"Stop... flipping.... around, you little shit!"

this boss has the best music in the game

Everybody gansta until the boss starts doing gymnastics

I’ve done it before, but when she turns into the swarm bots, and you hit her just right with the screw attack, you can deal MASSIVE damage. I remember years ago I did a hypermode run through on the trilogy version of the game. Went from phase 1 to 2 within 20 seconds.

Bro after she drops the walls I was just in awe of the setting of this fight the scenery looks so good.

We need this in HD remastered so much!!

Plasma Beam is the reason why Rundas had to be first.

It's impressive how well this game has aged I finished it yesterday and it's a masterpiece!!

2:28 You nailed her with the attack and chipped away a portion of her health. Haha nice. (No pun intended)

Thumb cramp: the boss fight. Not joking, this fight made my thumb hurt from constantly mashing A

A lot of her attacks remind me of the Courtney Gears boss fight from Ratchet and Clank.

1:43 Berserker= Reflect Phazon balls 2:08 Aerotrooper= Seeker Ice Missiles (But you didn't do so) 2:54 Swarmbot= Rapid fire Plasma Beam ~Phase 2~ 3:41 Rundas= Plasma Beam 4:15 Ghor= Bombs or Boost Ball ~Phase 3~ 6:35 Samus= Space Jump ~GG~ 8:24 Pirate-> Rundas-> Ghor-> Berserker-> Samus -Swarmbot is too hard to transform 9:10 I thought the power up is Transform Suit, which can become anyone you want.

They really blur the lines between what is organic and what is mechanic in Metroid. First the X could mimic machinery and now Gandrayda can transform into machinery.

In my opinion, those three other bounty hunters could've been playable characters. If not in adventure mode, maybe multiplayer mode

Feel like if they resurrect Dark Samus in Prime 4 they’ll use Gandraya’s DNA to do it given her mimicry and being infected by Dark Samus/Prime. It would he very in-line with Metroid’s biggest inspiration, the “Alien” films.

0:21 I suggested samus just sense of fire and dodged

This is BEAUTIFUL quality! What settings and equipment do you use?

Of course, Gandrayda is the only boss in the entire game to kill me...

Great boss, but the lack of save rooms and me hating the wii remote made it unenjoyable

Interesting that Samus-G fights like a lesser Dark Samus

Meet the Spy

gandrayda vs kumatora?

Mission log:entry 313 we encountered gandrayda in the command bridge still it was painful to see the enemy screaming with samus arans voice

I miss prime 3

She's similar to Nymphadora Tonks from Harry Potter! Holy Shit!😱

She should be in the next Super Smash Bros

May I use your gameplay for a remix video?

1:29 LESBIAN FANART INTENSIFIES

Her theme i forget whoelse had this theme

this is so sad :(((

For such a fun boss it's a shame that she gives you such a lame powerup.

I feel like Gann was done filthy. I wouldve loved her to be a secondary ally to samus. Nintendo wasted her and the others harder than F zero. RIP Gandryada

3:08 gandrayda phase 2

why gandrayda?

8:49

This boss is fun but to whoever gave each of her forms a log book entry, I just wanna talk

:)

Gandrayda es un gefe muy difícil
