I'm amazed the E.M.M.I's didn't show up here.
I love all your guys’ channels. MojoPlays is my favorite
Wtf, Metroid Prime mutates, it doesn't imitate her whatsoever. Go do some fucking research.
SA-X is definitely the scariest boss I’ve encountered in this series.
I think they may make an appearance in Metroid dread. I think metroid dread has more to offer then what was already shown throughout the entire marketing of metroid dread, people are complaining about Nintendo revealing too much, but tbh… if Nintendo is revealing this much information about metroid dread; then it’s because we haven’t even scratched the surface about what metroid dread contains. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sa-x make an appearance, but even if it doesn’t appear, I am sure that the game will have a bunch of content to offer that has not already been shown. Nintendo wouldn’t reveal something if they knew it would be a major spoiler, so what has already been revealed is information they want people to know. There is a reason they showed off a lot of information. I am betting that the majority of the information they showed in trailers isn’t even any where near a big major spoiler. There may even be a secret major boss.
@@GodSlayer330 I think aside from a flashback we won’t be seeing the SA-X. However I am 100% certain that the X themselves, aswell as the Core-X will be in Dread
True
All the creeping and running away from a boss that can BODY? Yeah. SA-X was the jam.
Can’t wait to see how the Emmy’s do in our newest release!
@@JohnnyFromVirginia I think what made the Sa-x special is the fact that it didn’t necessarily kill Samus in one hit, it took multiple different bullets to kill Samus where as the emmi can just kill Samus in a single mini cutscene. The Sa-x actually killed you and dwindled down your health with multiple bullets and it’s much harder to get away from the Sa-x then it is to get away from the emmi seemingly. Running away from the emmi seems somewhat easy although can be somewhat a bit challenging seemingly, just not as challenging as it is to get away from the Sa-x when detected by the Sa-x in metroid fusion. I kind of want a remake of Metroid fusion but at the same time I realize that the game doesn’t really need a remake at all. Same can be said about Super Metroid, I do not think Super Metroid needs a remake even though I would want one, and if there is any game that’s going to get a remake, I would assume that a Super Metroid Remake is up next before we ever get a Metroid fusion remake. I am more or less predicting a super Metroid remake coming before a metroid fusion remake. Personally Metroid Fusion is my favorite 2D Metroid game simply for the art alone which I hope they can properly replicate in a remake. I hope they can replicate Metroid Fusions art in a 3D side scroller environment in a future remake.
Surprised to see Kraid at number 1. He is certainly not the scariest boss in the series. His design, however, is pretty freaky and grotesque overall with those holes in it's belly...plus the constant throwing of finger nail clippings! His return in Dread has been a welcome one!
Why should Ridley get all the love?
I'm surprised Crocomire wasn't even mentioned. It has the most terrifying death I've ever seen in a video game.
And the jumpscare at the end ☠️☠️☠️
The worst thing was that he was normally light gray and smooth skinned. It was Samus who scarred him like this in a battle cut from Zero Mission😥
IMO Kraid is not scarier than Mother Brain or SA-X.
SA-X was scary as hell when I was younger!
There’s different ways to be scary. SA-X is creepy, while Mother Brain is grotesque. Kraid’s fear factor comes from sheer intimidation. Seriously, can you imagine being cornered by that thing?
Edit: FYI, this isn’t a Top Ten list. It’s just a list of ten characters in no particular order.
kraid is such a pushover in almost every game he's in lol
@@Dark-uj2jq I thought he was pretty tough in Dread!
@@knightofarkronia9968 don’t spoil anything but you beat dread already ? How long of a game is it !?
The fight music during the parasite queen is very effective.
When i was young. The sa-x and mother brain 2 gave me nightmares.
What I especially love about Metroid Prime is simply the buildup towards it throughout the entire game through the Chozo lore. You know something terrifying is lurking beneath the Chozo temple and simply have to find out.
The X Parasites easily became far more terrifying in Dread. Also the E.M.M.I and Raven Beak are welcome terrifying additions
My top 10:
10: Imago
9: Charge beam worm
8: Yakuza (fusion)
7: SA-X
6: Zero Mission Kraid
5: Second Form nightmare
4: Ridley
2: Diggernaut
1: X Infected Raven Beak
Kraid is nowhere near the top. He's a big immobile boss. The Chozo Ghosts were scarier
I used to hate having to fight them 😭😭😭
Oh my god so true
Kraid's design is freaky tho
SA-X is definitely the scariest out of all.
It turned into The Thing. Yup, scariest of them all.
Wow this is so cool, I’ve never played a Metroid game before. But that changes this week!
I’m so jealous…you are going to love it. My first Metroid game was Metroid prime and Metroid fusion when they both came out…since then it is my favorite video game series easily
Have fun
been with the series since the start Dread so far is amazing not super far just beat kriad but the game is already my 2nd fav next to super metriod the prime series is also awesome i just like the 2d games more
When I was much younger like I don't know 14, 15 something like that, the parasites Queen in the first Metroid Prime game scared me cuz I didn't even know how big the aliens were going to be in that game. It was my first time playing a Metroid game
(As of writing this comment)
This video has been out for 16 hours now and it only has 359 likes? The Metroid series is so criminally underappreciated it just depresses me. I really wish this serious resonated a lot more with Nintendo fans. I still remember the 26th anniversary...Legend of Zelda had ALL the attention. Yet no gave AF about Metroid...so depressing. I'm really looking forward to October 8th and I really hope Metroid Dread does very well.
#LongLiveMetroid
It is a smol channel though
It is a smol channel though
The scariest boss for me was the living power up statue in Super Metroid
Those are called Torizo I think.
@@OkamiPrincess15 Yeah, and there's technically two in Super Metroid. I'm stunned though no one has bothered to correct this video over the Mother Brain comment about the space pirates.
If you had waited another week on this video, I am confident that you would have had the E.M.M.I. from Metroid Dread at the top of your list for sure. The fact that you can’t damage them at all until you receive a very specific weapon is terrifying enough, then capture results in your death with a 1% chance to escape (per the game lore), and finally a very challenging kill once you finally can destroy the things. All-in-all, every encounter had my heart pounding from start to finish. Definitely fear-inducing and definitely an amazing ‘boss’ encounter.
I also see some comments about Raven Beak and his infected form. Honestly, I thought Samus’s form in the infected Raven Beak battle was scarier than the actual boss. Infected Raven Beak didn’t really scare me at all, but Samus DEFINITELY did. Very impressive game overall.
awesome I love metroid and Halloween
0:27 Oh yeah...I mean the fuckin' thing became Dark Samus for Din's sake!!!
I've only played Dread and Super, so Experiment No. Z-57 is the scariest for me
Z-57 gave me flashbacks to Yakuza, the spider boss from Fusion and first actual experience with nightmare fuel, in all the best ways.
I’m so excited for Metroid Dread next week, I can’t wait 😊 (also I actually liked Other M myself, yes the story was very stupid but i really liked Team Ninja’s gameplay style)
It was unique and I enjoyed it also!
@@ssj2sanjifanboy068 yeah a very enjoyable game 😊
hey @james ur youtube picture Is cute
@@Crimson_Tyranus_6720 thank you 😊
Story was good gameplay was bad
Anyone ever notice that the SA-X (or really the X Parasite in general) is basically the alien from John Carpenter’s The Thing?
I'm pretty sure it's intentional, just as the Metroids are inspired by the Xenomorphs from Aliens. Samus is also based on Ellen Ripley! Space Pirates are in the vein of the Boskone from the Lensman series, being a multi-species collective of ship-jackers who are actually part of a fascistic, strictly controlled empire with scientific aspirations.
An interview confirmed that the X where inspired by the thing.
But unlike the thing they don’t care for self preservation of an individual x, but care about the preservation of the species. That’s why they wanted to blow themselves up, if it meant taking down the last Metroid (Samus). That way other X would still survive on SR388
Makes me wonder if Ing were inspired by the symbiotes from Marvel comics?
I like Dark Samus's decayed face from the end of Echoes. I find it very haunting.
1. How on earth did SA-X come so low on the top 10 list?
2. How on earth did Parasite Queen come higher than Emperor Ing itself?!
3. What, Kraid as number one?!!
Oh well.
Metroid Prime/Dark Samus = IT/Pennywise
For personal matters the scariest Metroid bosses that I find the scariest are the Metroid final bosses.
Ridley
Mother Brain
Queen Metroid
Omega Metroid
Metroid Prime
Emperor Ing
Aurora Unit 313
Phantoon
Think Samus would disagree with you on Kraid being scary.
Other M is amazing game. Those who hate it never played it themselves. Just like Skyward Sword the game was so hated back in Wii era and now it's available on Switch people admit its greatness. Other M deserves another chance hope for a remaster on Switch
Nah, I played it. It's ok, not horrible, but I found the environment very dull.
The issue with Other M is its characterization of Samus and over reliance on gating to prevent open exploration. The main loop of combat and upgrades is fine but its definitely a weaker game in the series. By comparison your use of Skyward Sword is different...alot of people didnt like the controls on Wii (I loved it on wii btw) and its over reliance on puzzles over exploration shown by Nintendos hard course correction and emphasis on open world exploration with Breath of the Wild. Other M is a bad metroid game but a decent game, Skyward sword was bashed in because people felt the controld were awkward (typically because many users werent using Wii motion+)
It revealed that Ridley is a Pokemon 😎
Also w other m Samus has to get authorization from Adam which is stupid
To use her abilities
Mine’s the hornet battle from Metroid Prime 1 - something’s just overwhelming about getting swarmed with nowhere to go, and the music is phrenic
Hearing "SA dash X" gives me cringe for some reason. Shouldn't bother me but it feels weird.
What's worse about the Emperor Ing is the fact that it is a timed battle
Emperor Ing isn't a timed battle, you might be thinking of the Dark Samus fight that follows it.
1:54 yeah looks more like Samus’s ship than anything else
Another scary thing about the Parasite Queen is that you’re so underpowered when you fight it. You have your weakest beam and five missiles. That’s it.
If Nightmare from fusions isn’t on here, I’m gonna throw some hands.
Edit: No hands shall be thrown, have a nice day :P
Scariest? Let’s be real…phantoon, nightmare and SA-X are the 3 scariest. This is a poor job in ranking by the category of scariest.
Most iconic: Ridley, mother brain, Kraid
Scariest:phantoon, nightmare and SA-X
I could go on but the point remains. This list was weird.
I would say Omega Pirate. Not only is the fight very difficult, but because it’s very far away from the save point. So if you lose the fight you got to trek back through the pirate base in the phazon mines.
Eh, there is a save room like 2-3 rooms before the Omega Pirate fight. It's the section before getting the Power Bomb which cuts you off from a Save point for a very long time.
My top 10
1) Ridley (all versions)
2) Mother Brain
3) Metroids
4) Nightmare
5) Dark Samus
6) SA-X
7) Phantoom
8) Parasite Queen
9) Emperor Ing
10) Kraid
Honorable Mentions
- Golden Torizo
- Omega Pirate
- Worm from Metroid Zero Mission
I find Nightmare and SA-X a lot scarier than Kraid tbh. Kraid is a space pirate of some kind so we mostly know what he's about and what his intentions are.
Nightmare is very strange and borderline unexplainable..and of course the SA-X is just...yea i don't have to explain that one
Some of the bosses can be very annoying to defeat? 😖😖😖 At least Dark Samus and Ridley are both playable and Super Smash Bros Ultimate!!!
uk... It makes me remember when I play for the 1st time Metroid Prime had a very Bad luck that when finishes scanning some bosses it gives the data right after it launches it's projectile attack. Acid beam, Meta Ridley Beam/Rush attack, Metroid Prime main attack, well too long to remember all of them. I'll just remembered those 3 since it jump-scare me deciding where to dodge or receive their attack. 1st timers always works and high chance to happen without watching videos or walkthroughs. Doing that it will ruin their jump-scare momentum.
Love the theme song that plays throughout the video what’s it called?
Parasite Queen was the best fight, I wish the fight was longer cause I can't get over the music and her mechanic's!💪🔥😎
3:39
One of the stages in Super Smash Bros Brawl.
Sa-x should’ve been in the top 3
Uhh no. SA-X is #1 and no one can say otherwise!
I love the Metroid franchise
Who doesn’t?
@@Captain.Dank64 it's very unique
Seriously Kraid?!?, even a Chozo Ghost is scarier than friggin Kraid
Yeah! Those bastards makes my pressure run fast whenever I hear the music and their sounds.
Time to add Experiment No. Z-57 from Metroid Dread lol
I hope they HD Remaster Metroid Prime 2 Echoes someday, I can only imagine how much creepier Emperor Ing will look like.
I always thought the Game Over where your corrupted in Metroid Prime 3 and you end up turning into Dark Samus afterwards, her eyes says it all when you get corrupted, nightmare fuel really.
Draygoon being the scariest of Super Metroid not even being mentioned
phantoon looks like fecto forgo was there some inspiration from metroid behind fecto forgo?
the phantoon fight is the only good part of other M, and also the escape with the helmet, but thats it
Adam’s helmet? Yeah, it’s a nice memento. Still, he was mean, but leading up to his sacrifice (Aside from shooting Samus and not explaining why he did it, though that could most likely be anger over the corrupt faction of the Galactic Feds using his name in their Metroid revival project even after he said “No” to it), he becomes a little more reasonable by explaining to Samus to finish the Bottle Ship mission and beware of MB (Melissa Bergman) and Ridley (Although the Queen Metroid took care of that and left him in a corpse that would be present in the BSL). Plus, Fusion shows even more kindness by going against the corrupt faction of the Galactic Feds by advising Samus to crash the BSL into SR388 to fully eradicate the X Parasites. And from what we’ve seen in Dread, he simply explains the newest Chozo lore to Samus without orders, but advises her to treat the E.M.M.I.s with care, though given what we seen, they’re the ones not treating her with care and she has to destroy them, something Adam agrees with. (If we see something like that)
SA-X just turned into The Thing. Nightmare fuel.
I think mother brain and SAX should’ve been in top two instead, otherwise the list is mostly great.
Samus clones: SA-X, Dark Samus
Leaders: Metroid Prime, Emperor Ing, Parasite Queen, Mother Brain
Parasite Queen wasn't a leader, it was a science project.
@@sluttyMapleSyrup My bad, but why is she called Queen then?
@@insanemakaioshin She's the queen, like a queen ant, of a species of bug the Space Pirates were experimenting with on Frigate Orpheon. That's why she's fought in the power core; they escaped, infested the ship, and broke the ship's various systems. That's the distress signal Samus intercepts.
Guys relax we all know it was kraid because he’s in the new Metroid game. These content creators are going to milk the hype for this game however they can. Atleast Metroid is getting a spotlight ether way.
the sa-x actually means samus aran X
S-ax deserves to babe way higher… the footsteps… those godamn footsteps
SPIDERS!? FUCK NO!!😱 I'M OUT!! 🏃💨
Not even an honorable mention of the Queen Metroid.
0:30 metroid prime
1:20 SA-X
2:05 charge beam beast
2:50 imporer ing
3:40 parsite queen
4:25 mother brain
5:05 phanton
5:35 metroid other M
5:45 nightmare
6:26 ridley
7:26 mega pirate
7:31 dark samus varius
7:41 golden torzo
7:52 kraid
Metroid! I love metroid.!!!
SA-X and Core-X are both Absolutely Terrifying and Scary from Metroid Fusion from my Childhood Years!
i was thinking gandrayda just because she turns into you and begs for her life while being finished off by the corruption. On top of that you are fighting a shapeshifting source of energy the entire fight who used to work with you in the galactic federation. She takes forms of the other friends/ bosses you had to kill before her and the acid rain adds another point. Not the scariest look wise but lore/story wise i would say ganrayda is terrifying
Literally Metroid Prime with phazon versions of Samus's attack and a lust for destruction: Honorable Mentions
A big worm with spikes that can just appear randomly: gets a place on the list.
I still say Ridley is scarier than Kraid. Not just for his design, but for how unapologetically evil he is. Take a Xenomorph, put in the mind of Freddy Kruger, and you get Ridley.
FUN FACT:the charge beam beast or king worm or..... I forgot the 3rd name is the first boss of metroid zero mission aka metroid 1 remake and if it isn't killed upon first encounter you will encounter it somewhere else
I know this is not a boss but the E.M.M.I.S are very scary because the E.M.M.I stabs samus in the neck.
One enemy: Chozo ghosts.
What's scarier? The main antagonist of the most suspenseful Metroid game, a villain who literally took samus' powers and can destroy you easily. Keeps you on your toes the whole game and as soon as you are seen, you basically have no hope of survival.
Or
A giant centipede that shows up for a brief period of time.
The disrespect for the X is real.
What about Imago from Zero Mission?
The charge beam creature is actually named the Deorem.
If you just take some bosses from metroid prime and echoes,there's wayyyy scarier ennemies.the chykka fight needed you to constantly move while the boss was throwing a lot at you ,always keeping you on the edge and whenever you'd end up in the poison water you would start panicking.the spiderball boss from echoes was really pressuring to fight when i was a kid too.the invisible drone from the phazon mines was really stressing the first time you face it,since you can't see him and he move so quickly .thardus could be easily avoided but when you'd see him turn into a boulder and roll toward you the first time ,it was really surprising and scaring.this list doesn't even come close to what it should have been .even the flamethrower boss from prime was scarier
These terrifying monsters 👹 look like they belong in Aliens Predator or Even The Thing.
Dark Samus always scares me. even in my dreams. well sometimes
Something i like about ridley because of the space pirates love of getting more powerful by any means biological experimentation or machines ridley likely made copies and uploaded his brain to a machine a long time ago so for samus hes like a unending nightmare that will always be around in some form
Sa-x is more scary due to chase and being helpless as none of your weapons can damage it but imo metriod prime is truly terrifying
Dark Samus being only Honorable Mention is just wrong
Sa-x and the damn emmis form dread
Aww. The Queen Metroid didn't make the list.
Name me 10 metroid bosses that aren't scary. Now that's a wayyyy harder challange =:
SA-X may be scary as a boss, but as a obstacle, it loses its scariness. TAS bots utterly humiliate it. Not to mention, once you realize it is blind as a bat, it is not so scary. Number 10 for me. If we add the emmi, they are number 10 kicking out the sax. The SAX can only kill you in one shot early game. In dread , the emmi can instantly kill you and you may freeze up after getting caught if you can't keep cool. Phantoon is a scary boss because you truly don't know what he is. He is also quite strong.
Just wanna say, the green emmi was the scariest one to me in my first dread playthrough
Charge Beam beast looks like the Red Falcon from Contra 3.
No one says SA dash x, we say SA X.
Why does Kraid looks so weird in the thumbnail?
OMG' No! 5:45
If you want to go on scary looks alone, Nightmare is scarier than Ridley.
I guess they forgot about Dregon he was one of the hardest boss in super Metroid.
What? You're not serious right?
The easiest 😭
Charge Beam Beast kinda reminds me of a certain boss from the Zelda games…
Spider bosses?
They might have been scary in ‘93, ever since then they have been way over done
This game is amazing. Check out my playthrough and let me know what is you favorite boss in the game
Metroid content :O
The current scariest is the fucking EMMI for chasing you 24/7
The SA-X gave me PTSD.
The SCARIEST boss that gave me nightmares is the spider boss in Metroid Fusion. A spider that breathes fire and jumps around without its legs at a high speed jstad spits guts at you. Total nightmare fuel.
Mother brain form 2 and SA-X give me a scared
Seriously? You guys put a freaking worm above the SA-X? Not a single mention of the Chozo Ghosts from Prime, or Crocomire from Super, or at least the Metroid Queen? I can forgive the Chozo Ghosts, they're a miniboss encounter at first and recurring enemies later, but putting a statue among the honorable mentions instead of the Metroid Queen!? And that's not even mentioning what you put in the top spot...
