@@erc3338 probably because of Phazon. Think about it: Phazon is alive. And like all other living organisms, Phazon seeks to spread. We see the Space pirates augment themselves in Prime 1, mutating their bodies with the substance, giving a vibe of Body horror. Phazon has consumed the entire planet of Phaaze, and it sends out Leviathans to seed countless more planets. Who knows how many planets just like phaaze are out there? Who knows how long Phazon has existed? Left to it’s own devices, it could spread across the whole galaxy, and still not be remotely finished.
1:26 My first time playing this game, The music synced up perfectly with Dark Samus splitting in three. It sounded really cool as a kid. I've never been able to replicate it.
Samus: IT'S TIME TO END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!! Dark Samus: I agree. And once I destroy you, then NOTHING will stand in my way of spreading Phazon throughout the entire galaxy!
The only thing I didn't like about this fight is the underwhelming Aurora Unit phase. And that's a shame because the buildup to the Aurora Unit 313 was really good, throughout investigating the Valhalla you learn about it going missing and the suspicion that the pirates might have got a hold of it. If only the phases switched the order, this would've been an amazing climax.
@@variastudios301 Agreed Varia studios. We cannot rush a good game. Otherwise it'll be bad. History has proven that with certain other series. - Spoilers: What I want to know is why the name Prime 4? Metroid Prime aka Dark Samus is dead! We annihilated her and the planet Phaaze. I wanted a story after Metroid Fusion because of what happened to Samus in having Metroid DNA, how she defied GF's orders in wanting to preserve the X parasites & the SA-X and destroying SR388 by having the B.S.L. station ramming the planet. Maybe Prime 4 could be after Fusion? Maybe it is the rumored project Metroid Dread from Prime 1 just with the name Prime? I still don't understand the name Prime 4 though. Only time will tell.
Man...Dark Samus should've been the final boss. Screw the Aurora Unit. I know she possessed it and all that, but this fight was so much better... Also, its a crime that this isn't in Smash Ultimate. Just sayin'.
@@Leee275 2nd phase of Metroid Prime was not fun. Chykka Larva wasn't fun. Emporer Ing's 1st and 2nd phases weren't fun. Aurora unit's phases weren't fun. No, Retro fails as making fun bosses with multiple phases.
@@imafreakinninja12 The 2nd phase of the MP is just there to finish the game in a climatic way, similar to the SA-X fight followed by the Omega Metroid in Fusion. I could see for that for Chykka and the AU but the Emperor Ing first two phases being bad? You serious??? Never let this guy rate bosses again. Also a lot more of bosses in the trilogy have more than one phase even if they only have one healthbar.
I like how throughout the song you can hear laughter (that sounds just like King Boo hilariously enough). It's like Dark Samus is laughing at your pain and misery.
@Spaced20 That would have fit better. I wonder why you don't get to see AU313 before that. Still, the entire goal in the beginning was to remove the threat to the computer system, which it was to late to do anything about with AU313, so it kind of makes sense as it is, too.
i like the prime 2 theme better but the little bits of new instrumentation in this one perfectly communicate that this will be THE final showdown against Dark Samus
Well, you do have a point, but in accordance to personal preference, definitely prefer the Prime game's music over Super. And for that matter, any other Metroid games. Other M looks awesome. Hopefully, it has a bitchin' soundtrack to go along with it.
All Phazon is gone, so even if Dark Samus survived she would fade as all Phazon dissapeared. Even if her conscience lingered, she could not regenerate her body, as said, there is no more Phazon
I doubt that,@@aetherinfuse. We've seen Dark Samus "die" 3 times in the past and it wouldn't be suprising if all the Phazon that blew out of Phaaze ended up infused into the Space Pirates's Homeworld.
Same here. MP2 has a more terrifying and horrific atmosphere, while MP3, due to various dialogues and colourful background, it tends to be brighter than the others. However, I like the scary feelings in Metroids. So personally MP2 is the best to me
@LiteTheIronMan ... I'm just asking... that game had pretty good music... Vs. Mother BRain basically lead way to awesome music... Parasite Queen is a remix of it and Dark Samus is a remix of Parasite Queen or either a Remix of the Zero Mission battle
@Y05H1ROX But Dark Samus's theme rips those two themes' faces off, eats them, and then craps them out. Parasite Queen's music was godawful. Sure, Super had brilliant music, but not as awesome as the Prime series, and definitely nothing like this.
@@ARob16x Do you want to read yourself again? The final boss is the corrupted and heavily mutated Aurora Unit 313. The Leviathans are just the means to spread Phazon throughout space and planets.
Never gets old
This trilogy and it's soundtrack is just insane.
Metroid Prime as a trilogy was our introduction to the concept of cosmic horror, before we had heard of Lovecraft.
I agree, but how so?

@@tacopants27 to add to that, I later read The Color Out of Space and halfway through I was like “OH it’s just straight up phazon!”
I actually learned about Lovecraft before I got into the Prime trilogy as a kid. Guess I got it backwards, whoops.
I suppose so. Quite a cool way to look at it!
1:26 My first time playing this game, The music synced up perfectly with Dark Samus splitting in three. It sounded really cool as a kid. I've never been able to replicate it.
There’s an old video on TH-cam that has it synched too
Fun fact, Dark Samus is why Echo Fighters are called Echo Fighters, as these clones are called "Dark Echoes".
I just realized they threw in the sounds from parasite queen from prime 1, it fits so well considering what dark Samus is
And the parasite queen song is a motif of mother brain. Many layers of music refrences lol.
Samus: IT'S TIME TO END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!
Dark Samus: I agree. And once I destroy you, then NOTHING will stand in my way of spreading Phazon throughout the entire galaxy!
I love retro studios

I agree but I think the reason they did that is because they didn't want Dark Samus to be the final boss twice in a row
This is the greatest theme song in the entire Metroid series ever of all time.
The first half-second makes me think of Zant.
Aurora Unit sure was cool, but this, this is WIN!
MP4 IS COMING!! OH GOD WHAT DO I DO?!?!

*sees dark Samus split into two*

Yikes, don't even put those two in the same sentence. Dark Fate was terrible (although not as bad as Salvation).

This is underrated

Incredible fight. Especially on hypermode
I feel like ive heard 1:29 somewhere before
Expand Dong either an older Metroid Prime game or Terraria. Pick your poison. (That's just an expression honestly)
*Samus Aran dislikes this video*
Other dislike: possibly SA-X?
@@valoch3187 Potentially, but the SA-X wanted Samus dead. The other dislike might be Rundas since he was the first to die to Dark Samus.
No I didn’t

Also, its a crime that this isn't in Smash Ultimate. Just sayin'.
Still can't believe they added Dark Samus in ultimate and didn't use either of her themes
Retro is one to think that adding multiple boss phases makes the final boss better, but normally only one phase is actually fun.
@@imafreakinninja12 That always depends on execution, honestly most fights in the Prime trilogy that have multiple phases are actually great.

Don't worry, it does! Wait til you hear Ridley's theme!
I just found out that this theme is zero mission's mother brain theme but remix
oh darn...that one...
I really hope there is at least one metroid prime game for the 3ds...
And now you have Metroid Dread for the Switch lol
yikes federation force
samus returns was cool though

@@Synoctic like we have anything better to do lol.
Maybe in Metroid Prime 4?
Hears angry parents kick down your bedroom door in the middle of the night over a serious problem you caused.
i like the prime 2 theme better but the little bits of new instrumentation in this one perfectly communicate that this will be THE final showdown against Dark Samus
Losing the Phazon suit? Sounds cool.
Why is the room you fight Dark Samus in called the Sanctum? Who is worshiping what?
her loyal Space Pirate followers are worshipping Dark Samus like a diety because of their broken, phazon-corrupted brains
Well, you do have a point, but in accordance to personal preference, definitely prefer the Prime game's music over Super. And for that matter, any other Metroid games.
Other M looks awesome. Hopefully, it has a bitchin' soundtrack to go along with it.
not really, no
Reading the second paragraph makes me sad
MY EYES!
Great full to have the Nintendo Wii trilogy :) the price for its outrageous now.
You know about Omega Metroids right? They're way more badass than the Queen IMO.
What if Dark Samus returns in prime 4 somehow how cool would that be
Pretty cool I would say but I feel she had a good arc and ending
All Phazon is gone, so even if Dark Samus survived she would fade as all Phazon dissapeared. Even if her conscience lingered, she could not regenerate her body, as said, there is no more Phazon

@MarioGalaxy243g5 How 'bout "METROID PRIME ZENITH"
The hell was that?!
How about Ridley's theme?
I've played every Metroid except Pinball and II: Return of Samus. No, I'm not biased/stupid/ignorant. Your arguement is invalid.
I prefered the MP 2 version.
Same here. MP2 has a more terrifying and horrific atmosphere, while MP3, due to various dialogues and colourful background, it tends to be brighter than the others. However, I like the scary feelings in Metroids. So personally MP2 is the best to me
This soundtrack beter than Mp2 Version, Mp2 Version looks like made from michael jackson
I like both of them! Each one takes a good spin on it
I like both of them equally. MP2 has that mysterious and eerie feel to the theme, but this one feels climatic, which is very fitting.
@Klogg5 there won't by any metroid PRIME games any more (my guess), but i think they still release a metroid game for 3ds.
That's where you're wrong.
Oh how right, and wrong he was.
@LiteTheIronMan ummm ... did you ever play super metroid :D
@LiteTheIronMan ... I'm just asking... that game had pretty good music... Vs. Mother BRain basically lead way to awesome music... Parasite Queen is a remix of it and Dark Samus is a remix of Parasite Queen or either a Remix of the Zero Mission battle
I was sleep 😴
So, it's been 3 years, have you experienced it yet? Do you now regret this comment?
Dark Samus: it's time to finally put an end to your misery.
Samus: your doom will end here. Bring your worst.
Doesent have any crackdown like SA-X in fusion fight but ehh its ambiant as amibo
