why? i did it as a kid to save time. okay i needed full health but it was well known

@@Terriermon1234 its so tense how quick you have to go to not die

@@DemoOrange do you have nintendo switch online? if yes try it out yourself, it is vey easy

Speed is everything when talking about speedruns

​@@Terriermon1234That's not the way you beat the game, kill the Metroids in the area, don't skip the area you have to go. In AM2R, it's worse: The lava kills faster, you go slower, and there's a giant block that disappears once you kill all the Metroids in the area, this was made because the Gravity Suit makes you immune to lava, so using an early Gravity Suit Cheat doesn't help you skipping the Metroids

Indeed

I played it when it was new and wonder how I was able to finish it. Boredom and limited money.

@@Ryfinius And also, it's a good game.

Playing this game seemed like a chore to me, it just got boring after so long. And the sound was just awful.

The game is not the most fun Metroid but it's really good for what it is especially considering the limitations of the console and the fact that it came before Super. It's easily playable if you just pull up a map from online, since it doesn't have one ingame.

Yeah, Samus exterminated the Metroids, carries a Metroid with her, Ridley located them, stole the baby, and the rest is Super Metroid

The SGB defaults to its own 4-G palette with this game, and for good reason.

And in Super, she suits back up and Hyper Beams your face. The midriff to race, and die, for.

Nice catch

It's also funny how this game and the original Wario Land have the same gameplay engine and even THE SAME PAUSE SOUND. And ironic given the Wario dev team wouldn't actually do a Metroid game themselves until Fusion.

Did it?

Need to know how to erase your save file? It's one of those things that's made to be difficult to do by accident. Hit Select on the title screen which will make a "CLEAR" option appear, then while holding in Down on the pad, hit Start. If you do that right, you'll hear the sound of a Metroid exploding. BTW, in case you had no idea, Left and Right on the title screen change between three save files indicated by number. Instruction manuals are your friends for older games. As for the Metroid evolutions (really metamorphoses, just like with Pokémon and other monster-training franchises-I'm guessing "shinka" can mean either one), I prefer to name the Metroid hives and nests, and Chozo ruins, after those same Greek letters. So in order: Lone α Metroid: Alpha Nest Alpha Ruins and Alpha Hive Gamma Ruins and Gamma Hive Zeta Ruins and Zeta Hive Lone γ Metroid: Gamma Nest α and γ Metroids: Zeta Nest Omega Ruins α and ω Metroids: Omega Nest Omega Hive Lab Ruins As for my favorite Metroid form, I say ζ. It's amusing how the basic Metroid body has become a big ol' transparent belly for this fat-but-ferocious levitating jellyfish/lizardman thing with compound eyes.

​@@CarbonRollerCacoI just did it, thanks friend, now I can play the game again as many times as I want. The truth is that playing this game (Before coming to this video 1 month ago) was one of the best experiences when playing a game.

I read this comment right when they had 69 health

Spring Ball. It lets you jump as the Morph Ball, but you can't use it off a wall. That fast Spider Ball jump trick is a glitch that only works going to the left. BTW, that creature's called an Archnus. Fittingly, you consume an X-copy of the same enemy in Fusion to recover the Morph Ball.

Sort of. There was never a colorized release. But if I recall correctly, if you played it on the Game Boy Color, it would remap the 4 colors with some proper ones that would make it look better.

Worst in the series

i don't think its worse then nes metroid... so maybe second worse in the series?

I would play this 100 times before I touch other m, federation force or even hunters again

Nestroid too probably

you do have to admit that Surface of SR388 is a bop, though

Drink some brain cell getting juice

SHE had just touched the sphere on the left at 27:52. That's a full healing ball. There are several of those scattered throughout the game, all stationary but infinitely reuseable. The big upright missiles like the one at 28:57 are the same for, well, Samus's missile supply.

Death by 150-Missile turbo.

It's basically a gameplay demonstration of what's possible within a game

there are so many resources you can use to learn about tases and yet you choose to parade your ignorance through the streets
