Metroid: Difference between revisions

 

A live-action feature film based on the franchise was optioned after ''Metroid Prime'' was successful, [[What Could Have Been|but appears to have lapsed]].

----

* [[Metroidvania]] along with the ''[[Castlevania]]'' series, obviously.

* [[Samus Is a Girl]] again, obviously.

== A-F ==

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Samus has been shot at with explosive stingers, [[Fire, Ice, Lightning|lava grenades, super cooled plasma, high density neutrinos]], [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and contaminated water]].

** Samus herself has fired plasma, super-cooled plasma, ice, lava grenades, electromagnetic blasts, standard electrical blasts, concentrated light energy, concentrated dark energy, matter/antimatter, sonic booms, ''miniature black holes'', and various other things out of her own beam cannon. And that doesn't account for projectile weapons - missiles, super missiles, ice missiles...

 

== G-L ==

* [[Game Mod]]: Super Metroid has several. Of the complete overhauls of the game, amongst the best are probably Super Metroid Redesign, Golden Dawn, Super Metroid Dependence, Super Metroid Limit, and Metroid Legacy. Other good ones include One Room, T-Metroid, Magma, and Reverse. Of these hacks, Metroid Legacy is by far the easiest, being only negligibly more difficult than the original game (there are a couple of segments that require the use of "glitches" like the mockball and the wall jump, but by and large there is very little trickery required to complete it). Golden Dawn is somewhat more difficult, but still not that difficult. Most of the others are at the very least [[Nintendo Hard]] and often descend gleefully into [[Platform Hell]] territory. Redesign, for example, has a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iIYJAtVrv8 segment] where you are required to go into the toxic regions of Norfair ''without'' the Varia Suit, and must progress rapidly and kill enemies in order to survive. (There is a way to get the Varia Suit before this with [[Sequence Breaking]], but the sequence break is probably even more difficult). Worth special mention is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Super Metroid Impossible]], a "slight" overhaul of the original game that, thanks to the withholding of crucial items and strategic placement of obstacles, brings it up to [[Kaizo Mario World]] levels of difficulty. It is also worth noting that, while most of these hacks are roughly equal in size to the original game, Redesign is absolutely gigantic, being maybe three times the size of the original game. Redesign is also unique among Super Metroid hacks for significantly altering the original game's physics, which makes playing it a significantly different experience from playing any other Metroid game.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Samus herself; in addition to being twenty different flavors of [[Badass]], she is also apparently quite learned in biology and electronics, and she designed her own gunship. She also shows a fairly philosophical leaning in the few internal monologues and journal entries we hear.

 

== M-T ==

* [[Malevolent Architecture]]

* [[Mama Bear]]: The {{spoiler|baby Metroid's death}} in Super Metroid results in an asskicking so epic that the Space Pirates refer to Samus Aran as "She Who Must Not Be Named."

 

== U-Z ==

* [[The Undead]]: Coverns (Three skulls stuck together), Phantoon (Huge malevolent spirit allied with the Pirates), Chozo Ghosts, Dark Marines, and Skeleton Crocomire.

* [[Underground Level]]: The setting of a good majority of ''Super Metroid''.
