It’s one thing to escape an exploding planet but escaping an imploding dimension while fighting your radioactive doppelgänger to the death is an unnerving experience even for Samus.
The first time I got to the final bout with Dark Samus was the first time I've ever failed on a final boss of a video game. I was FLOORED. This music was NERVE RACKING.
I can imagine the whole scene lol. it probably went like this-- You: Yo, dude I just beat Metroid Prime 2! Your Friend: That`s awesome dude! You: Yea, finally, I can re- Your friend: What happened? You: Ah shit... *escape theme plays* Your friend: All the best fam...
I've always assumed that was meant to show that Dark Samus is the same Metroid Prime Samus met on Tallon IV. It has the same blue body with orange-ish skeletal insides and everything.
@AlphaReano well its a fact cuz at that point dark samus had absorbed WAY too much phazon that she basically became completely unstable and overloaded with phazon
@@codacious14 I lost emperor ing 3 times couples days ago but I beat emperor ing and dark on my first try today. Watching the videos of the fights helped me out big time😁😁. Dark Samus wasn't that bad
This was the first game I played, and I attempted it without any guides or walkthroughs. Took nearly two years and i was 11 lol. The bosses and the frustration, god It was a great game. If it comes to Switch remastered or HD, i will be getting the console.
I also tried doing it without walkthroughs or guides but I couldn't do it. I was always confused where I have to go... I loved the game though and last year finally 100%-ed it! I also still wait for this (or the trilogy) to come out for the Switch.
@@kruvik I know what you mean. I spent so long trying to work out where to go, and what to do. The boost guardian i struggled for so long, and I absolutely hated Chykka adult. I preferred this game over the other two the most.
kruvik With Chykka Adult I did not realise for a while that you have to seeker missile his wings from behind. It was annoying until I accidentally came across the hint in a Nintendo magazine lol. Oh the memories and the rage
Morphology: Dark Samus Supercharged with Phazon energy. Target's Phazon energy weaponry and defense systems are at full power. Phazon exposure has rendered Dark Samus invisible to your Dark Visor. Scans indicate that Dark Samus has absorbed tremendous levels of Phazon into her body: too much, perhaps. She can vent Phazon energy in the form of destructive blasts and protective shields: doing so will help her maintain stability. Exposure to Phazon has rendered her invisible to the Dark Visor. These new abilities, combined with her already formidable arsenal, place Dark Samus at the highest threat level.
I'd think it's cool too... except for I'd always get grazed by a single, extra Phazon particle and I'd lose my charge as a result. Safe to say, I've yet to get back to that segment due to how much that royally pissed me the hell off.
Nostalgia kickin' hard in this theme eh, this rendition of the original escape theme surpasses even Zero Mission's version for me, and I didn't notice until recently that there is actually an alarm! I always thought it was part of the theme because it is synced cleverly.
By the end of prime 2 you are a force of nature, the way the game sets you up for this is perfect, you’re like, mission accomplished now to just get out of here, wait, That’s phazon, that can only mean…..you…..

_Planetary condition critical, evacuate immediately!_ (Cue Dark Samus wanting her revenge for what happened to her original persona in Metroid Prime 1)
ah this soundtrack. I had game over about 20 times because couldn't figure out how to beat Dark Samus. Even slammed my controller in rage back then. When I figured out that you needed to charge to absord Dark Samus own phazon charge, I felt like dumb, but was a relief at same time lol
The more I think about this sequence the more apocalyptic this sequence seems in retrospect. Samus just seized the remaining energy of the Dark Aether, thus dooming the entire Ing race. I recall the games text seems to imply that there is a sort of alien complexity to the Ing civilization. Wouldn’t the entire remaining Ing just try to destroy her in a desperate attempt to seize back their livelihood? I imagine the escape sequence could have a lot more chaotic had the Ing tried to claw it back. And with the closing of the portal, their whole existence just ends with a sudden and violent dimensional contraction. Just another day for Samus though.
Yeah the lock on isn't the most reliable during that fight, although it works fine if you adjust a little. Free aiming makes it way easier in this case.
This will always be burned into my brain, I had just defeated the emperor ing and I got out of there and I figured, " if its giving me this much time I just have to get to a portal or something" but as I jump through the light shaft and I see dark samus, im like "oh I got to put your down for good." As im about to defeat her she did this weird invulnerable phase and I died because I took too long to kill her. Needless to say i was pissed... But i did end up completing the game after I read her bio and how to kill her
@@kruvik yeah you get a checkpoint just after beating emperor ing, it's a good 20 minute (give or take?) reset if you didn't use the save point at the temple.
This is the core of the final Dark Energy Collector. The last collection of planetary energy lies within the core. When you place it within the Energy Transfer Module for return to Aether, this world will become _heavily unstable._
the funny thing is theres fanart of zero suit dark samus. i'm just laughing because what's under that armor is no zero suit. or any suit. the organism IS dark samus, dark samus isnt wearing any armor. it IS armor. and under that is just a very basic skeleton and organs... and a third eye. this sequence primarily is just to show us that there is NOTHING underneath the armor. it's actually kind of a funny twist on the usual metroid ending reveal. what im getting at is "zero suit dark samus" wouldnt be sexy it'd be horrifying. then again i suppose that might be kink in and of itself.
That's kinda like Prophet in Crysis 3. There's nothing under the Nanosuit except a mass of organs and other biomatter vaguely resembling a human shape, since he IS the Nanosuit.
All you have to do is just get dark samus weak enough and then use charge beam against the incoming small phazon particles then your all set to beat the game
It’s one thing to escape an exploding planet but escaping an imploding dimension while fighting your radioactive doppelgänger to the death is an unnerving experience even for Samus.
this song threw me into a panic because i put my controller down and was on my phone telling my friends i beat this game after such a long time lmao
I always had difficulties with the last boss, didn't quite expect that I still have to escape and fight Dark Samus afterwards!
Just have been your first Metroid game :P

hi again
Dark Samus appeared in the middle of the escape for a final fight, and you can see her veins, skeleton and organs through her translucid body, epic
yeah phazon suit wasn't enough for the metroid prime last game
now it wants Samus flashly looking Light Suit.

This song is incredible because it has:
1: a racing heartbeat
2: stopwatch ticking
3. An alarm
Everything that gets you pumped all in one tune.
Dark Samus reminding you that the series is named after HER (Metroid Prime)
Well at least the alarm is perfectly synchronized with the music
Dark Samus: "Miss me, assholes?"
Dark Samus: *YOU!*
Samus: Oy, this bitch.
Yes Dark Samus, I've been waiting. Let's finish this 😈.
@@chozochiefxiii3298 "One shall stand, one shall fall..."

@@ianfinrir8724 You do. When you save the mission clear data, it should have all your scans passed over into the new play data.
@@smanly3274 Not in the original GameCube version.
Metroid original escape
AKA The Famicom Disk System version.
This version is better
Such a cool fight, using phazon against dark samus, and time is ticking down to your death. And I love the music.
And it was cool to have a remix of the escape theme from the NES Metroid game.
I'd think it's cool too... except for I'd always get grazed by a single, extra Phazon particle and I'd lose my charge as a result. Safe to say, I've yet to get back to that segment due to how much that royally pissed me the hell off.

I think hypermode is hard mode of the GameCube version. It's super hard for me lol. But yeah, well done!

I JUST THE LOVE FINAL BATTLE SO MUCH, the tension is so high too! The first game sure couldnt do that! >:D
MP2 definitely wins in regards to the tension. Overall, both games are amazing though!
kruvik yep! Prime 3 was dissapointing though, to be honest ;w; especially the final boss. The last phase atleast.
@@vampiriccottoncandy458 Haven't played Prime 3 yet, I wonder how it will be.
kruvik its MUCH more story focused and its gameplay is..eh...but the controls are good?
@@vampiriccottoncandy458 Weird... But I'll see it for myself one day!
i like how they remixed the original metroid escape
In general I am happy about all the remixes - hope they do the same for Prime 4.
this is why i use the escape theme when i play dark samus in smash ultimate. that's actually a dark samus theme.

Metroid NES/FDS
@@megamanfan3 Just the FDS. This track doesn't contain the added section from the NES release.
by FAR the best escape theme from all of the games

I can somewhat relate. Tbh, first time I got super confused where to go all the time so I have to say that I did use a guide for some parts...

Collecting Phazon with the Charge Beam was harder than it needed to be. Why can't it pull the Phazon in a little?
Because then it would be too easy.😏
Yeah the lock on isn't the most reliable during that fight, although it works fine if you adjust a little.
Free aiming makes it way easier in this case.
Partly because the Japanese producers demanded that Retro make the game harder.
I was disappointed with MP3 dark Samus design. This one was way more menacing
Brutal ese soundtrack junto con una secuencia de autodestrucción.
Dark Samus: Oh no you don't!
