You know what's beautiful about this? The creators treated the source material as almost a sacred piece of historical fact. They had so much reverence and nastalgia for the original game, it bleeds through the pours of this game. I wish movie makers did the same for our beloved movie franchises. They could learn a lot from these developers
I also appreciate the fact he didnt use texture filters like every 12 year old would do, but actually play the game how it was supposed to be and using the original aspect ratio
Metroid 2 on the GB felt like you literally were isolated, and with the handheld games environment, and maze like structure, you definitely knew, it was you, and you alone against a ton of Metroids. No one was going to help you, and no one was even going to come and help you.
This game doesn't need any introduction. Everyone knows this title. The one that made the Metroid series a household name among hardcore Nintendo fans, and the one that set the gold standard for the Action and Exploration in the Adventure genre. An all time classic.
While this game is obviously superior in terms of graphics and gameplay this game wouldn't be what it is without the original on the NES. The original Metroid is what made the series a household name with 2.73 million units sold.
@@jillgrimwater3726 Oh man, those screams almost made me feel bad for him. What a miserable death! But the sound his skeleton makes when it falls apart has always made me laugh. It's so dumb sounding!
I finished this game 100% in 3 hours and 46 minutes just by memory some years ago... I was a fucking tryhard haha. I still love this game :´) Some many good moments. Those days...
One of the best games ever made! I foolishly didn't play it until one year ago, beat it twice, and now I need to go for a third after watching this. It's truly a real masterpiece!
This game still gives me chills in places. It's just phenomenal. I wish Fusion hadn't been hobbled by being on the GBA. The graphics on that system were great, but I really think the sound quality wasn't as good as the SNES.
It really wasnt, but it was still a solid game. The linear gameplay was also a little not-metroid but it still worked. Dread brought the entire Genre back though. It was amazing. Like Super Metroid on steroids and the horror aspect was expertly done.
One of my all-time favorites for sure. I still remember my emotions when I discovered the stage where you put the jewels on the alien statue and it sinks giving you a new stage and when the larva alien helps me at the last boss ❤️
La larva alienígena del final quien ayuda es en realidad el hijo de samus, ella lo adopta en vez de matarlo en el juego anterior. Es triste como se sacrificó por su madre. Todo eso tiene este juego es impresionante 😞
Wow, I didn't realize just HOW much they carried over into Metroid Prime. Just bought an old copy for Gamecube a week ago for nostalgia. And the game is way ahead of it's time.
Bought this game when I bought my SNES that came with Link to the Past. I played this again recently and despite being 25+ years old the battery backup still works.
the level of completion is insane. This would have taken me atleast 10+ hours of running around, trying to figure things out. Thank you youtube for having someone else do it for me ;)
My first go around took me more than 4 hours but after playing it and knowing where everything is I was able to complete it the second time in 2 hours 15 minutes.
I didn't even play this game until the announcement of Dread. Couldn't believe I never played s Metroid game as a kid. The brilliance of the planet layout, the way the environments feel with the music and all. This game feels ahead of it's time. It took a little bit to get into it but the longer I played it the more I could appreciate how brilliant it is. One of the greatest games ever made.
This may also be an unpopular opinion because a lot of people don't want to see a classic touched but I would love to see this game get a remake with the graphics up to the level of Dread perhaps or at least updated a bit and some small quality of life improvements such as a better control lay out for switching between weapons and abilities.
Nice to see a full run of this game where the player remembers to take the detour during the final escape and release the friendly creatures so they can escape the planet too.
1:16:23 I love these little guys. I even jumped up and down with them when we reached the top. Nice to know it's not all aliens trying to kill you. Some just like wall jumping with you.
When I discovered the existence of Super Metroid, the first thing I said was "I have to play this". During my first playtrough, I didn't know where to go and I died like 300 times, so I discarded everything and stopped playing it. After a long time, during the period of the first lockdown, I was really bored because I didn't want to hear for 3 hours my science teacher, so I said to myself "It's finally time to beat Super Metroid ", and I managed to finish it with 97% without Game Over a single time, all in one try, and since that day, Super Metroid has become my favorite game of all time. So yeah ... I finished Super Metroid during school.
The first time I got to play this I was about 10. My mom and I were visiting a long lost relative she discovered, and they brought us over to their friend's house for dinner. This old guy had a snes in his front closed in patio, and this was one of the games. I thought the cover looked cool. I popped this in and played while waiting for dinner. The dude's wife cooked us a nice Italian dinner, I was a kid so I thought it would be funny when I got my plate to say "it looks deeeeeeee-gusting". The dude got super pissed and his wife was super offended. I was just being silly and thought nothing of it, but they were so upset, like irrationally upset considering how young I was. That memory is forever linked to the first time I played Super Metroid.
Lmao, I can't really say I blame them for being offended. My parents would've beat my ass had I ever pulled a stunt like that, not that I ever would have. They taught me better than that.
@adamcarlone the reptilian beast is a very proud, petulant animal, causing it to be very easily offended. only the presence and power of The Lord Jesus Christ can melt its thorny heart and induce it to take things in stride.
This game has quickly risen to probably my top 3 video games ever. I never played this growing up so it’s a brand new experience. It’s fun on the switch but I’m even considering buying a cartridge for my SNES now as well to always have the physical copy. Thanks for the great help on showing how to play this great game
Why has this taken 3 hours 18 minutes to complete, yet when I did it in the early 90’s it took me 6 months lol. Kids today will never know the struggle of having to wait a month for the next gaming magazine to come out just so you can get the walk through.
Have only gone through this masterpiece once, back when it first came out. Since then I have left the game alone, it's box still in pristine condition from the day I bought it till the day I pull it back out and try it again. Even had the Nintendo made guidebook for it, but a flood wiped it, along with a lot of Nintendo Power, some Sega Visions, EGM's, and Gamepro's out. Had them stored in a shed outside my home, and in 6 hours, 20 inches of rain came down, pretty much destroying them all as water had gotten inside.
Dat Crocomire thumbnail though. Yeah, there really isn't much more to say... this game has it all. Controls can be a bit awkward at times, and this issue was fixed in _Fusion_ and _Zero Mission_ . But outside of that, one of the most fun and polished game experiences ever crafted, and also its importance cannot be overstated. We wouldn't have _Symphony of the Night_ without it, and the myriad of the "Metroidvania" style games today.
What a timeless masterpiece! Super Metroid is one of the best sidescrolling action-adventures ever, and absolute worth to play. It has great music and the atmosphere is still amazing.
I have memories of playing Super Metroid when I was roughly 15, when I bought it, alongside Kirby 64, on the Wii Virtual Console. I don't think I beat it until I reached college, though. Good times, and well-deserving of its iconic status. It made so many improvements from Metroid and Metroid 2, without holding your hand, and for its time, its aesthetic was very well done... still is, actually.
I remember playing this as a kid, the first Metroid on Nintendo was my favorite though! I'm going to watch this for a while tonight! Thanks for posting this!!
This game DEFINITELY deserves to be put into a Live Sci-fi Horror/Action Netflix Series or movie which really does bring me back awesome memories as a kid when one of my best friends would bring his Super Metroid game as i had my SNES console with other games i use to own and we would be taking turns trying to beat the whole game after school. 😁😃😅👍❤️🌹
I got this game when it came out. Been a metroid fan since day one! Just played through this again and even though it has been a few years i still beat it with my in game time of one hour seven minutes. Not too shabby if i do say so myself. No speedrun legend but fast enough to get the best ending
Preparing for Metroid Dread, I see. So am I and and many other. I was never able to play Super Metroid until I got Nintendo Switch Online. Now, I understand why the game gets so much praise. It's not just about combat. It's also about exploration. I also like how the game includes references to the NES original and expands from there by adding newer material.
I remember finishing this metroid with 100% of the secrets found ... in that time I tried to do that again and could not, got 99% so I just forget that 1% XD
One of the best games around, and one of the rare darker Nintendo games. This game is definitely the best Metroid, a huge improvement over the NES game, being SNES. I beat it twice, and I got the best ending, 100%. Wonderful masterpiece.
I love this game. I never played any of Nintendo games (Sega and Sony fanboy) so I'm catching up now haha. This game is sooooo good and I can't wait to finish it so I can play Fusion next!
I found this game about 4yrs after it came out. I was sick with the flu and was laid up at my folks and my sisters snes was still there. No one saw me for a week until I beat it. No internet, so i figured it out myself. That damn Draygon water monster still gives me nightmares.
I’m gonna go on a limb and say Super Metroid is the greatest SNES game. Greater than Zelda ALTTP, Mario World, Chrono Trigger, or Donkey Kong Country. It just has too much going for it to be topped. It’s too amazing and beautiful to be beaten.
Who else remembers calling the Nintendo hotline with the game counselors helping. And then getting the Nintendo taken away by the patents bc of running up the phone bill. Lol
I am just discovering it for the first time recently. I bought a SNES mini. I’ve been playing Killer Instinct, Super Mario 3 and World, and now this. It’s hard. Kraid keeps killing me.
not just a 16 bit classic but a staple of the speedrunning community i cannot recall the time any speedrun event didn't include super metroid in some way shape or form
Tons of secrets and precise platform jumping that make this game a white-knuckle ride even for modern gamers who got sooo spoiled by analog sticks , , 😋😋👍
This is the first time I have seen a 100% play through. I missed so much shit it seems. 😂 I also didn’t even know about the animal rescue at the end. This is the first and only video I have ever seen it happen in. NintendoComplete exceeding my expectations as always. Lol
I would've loved to see a remake on DS, like Zero Mission for the GBA. Enhance graphics and audio, put the map on the lower screen and include touch-based toggles for the missiles/super missiles, powerbombs, etc. (Heck, maybe even add FMV cutscenes for the intro and outro)
I remember getting this from Toys 'R' Us on my birthday back in '94. Me and my friend would speedrun this game throughout the whole year & beyond, trying to beat each other's times for 100% completion. Those were some good gaming days. I just don't get the excitement for new games today than I did for this game. Also, the soundtrack and SFX are phenomenal and showcased the best that the Super NES could accomplish. This game is the definition of a classic.
In took 7 years to happen, and you know what? The more things change, the more they stay the same. Super Metroid for the SNES is a massively enhanced, expanded, and souped-up remake/sequel to Nintendo’s 1987 maze/side-shooting masterpiece that captivated audience on all corners of the galaxy.
Aside from this game being a big gem, I can honestly say that this was the first game that I have ever played at 16 when it was released, that if you had full health, killing the enemies, wouldn't drop more energy unless you were under 99 :D
You know what's beautiful about this? The creators treated the source material as almost a sacred piece of historical fact. They had so much reverence and nastalgia for the original game, it bleeds through the pours of this game. I wish movie makers did the same for our beloved movie franchises. They could learn a lot from these developers
Wish I could give more than 1 thumbs up on this comment!
@@Delta1up. Thanks 🙏 I still feel it just as strongly today...
This is true throughout the entire Metroid series. The mainline series (for the most part) ties together very cleanly.
You're sus @@Delta1up.
the soundtrack on this game is amazing, used to play this every night with my dad
I'm playing it now and although I get stuck a lot 😂it's super fun finding all the hidden stuff in the game.
It definitely makes the game immersive.
Me tooo
I appreciate that this is an actual playthrough and not just a speedrun.
I also appreciate the fact he didnt use texture filters like every 12 year old would do, but actually play the game how it was supposed to be and using the original aspect ratio
when you've seen so many speed runs of this game you forget that this game can still be done casually and be enjoyed.
Few games come close to this game’s feeling of isolation.
Is Metroid Fusion one of those few games?(Sorry if that's a dumb question)
@@kiminowak8295
I would say so, yeah. Fusion does an excellent job of making you feel isolated

First time I played this was on the mini SNES that Nintendo released a while back. This game was way ahead of its time.

The music is so awesome ❤ i love SNES sounds and music. Metroid is a masterpiece.
I spent all of 94 playing FFVI on Super Nintendo and being a 4th grader, looks like I need to make some time for Metroid one day 😃
This is the first time I have seen a 100% play through. I missed so much shit it seems. 😂
I also didn’t even know about the animal rescue at the end. This is the first and only video I have ever seen it happen in. NintendoComplete exceeding my expectations as always. Lol
Really? :) I'd have thought everyone would show that lol. Thanks!
SAVE THE ANIMALS! NOT THE FRAMES!
1:00:06 OMG, after all these years, I had no idea that you could drop multiple bombs from holding the charge
How could you not save the animals!
Great run, congrats.))
Right? Thanks!
I would've loved to see a remake on DS, like Zero Mission for the GBA. Enhance graphics and audio, put the map on the lower screen and include touch-based toggles for the missiles/super missiles, powerbombs, etc. (Heck, maybe even add FMV cutscenes for the intro and outro)
Super Metroid, the 24 megabit video game with Bounty Hunter Samus Aran for your Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

Doesn't matter! Master Kraid will surely get her now.
I remember getting this from Toys 'R' Us on my birthday back in '94. Me and my friend would speedrun this game throughout the whole year & beyond, trying to beat each other's times for 100% completion. Those were some good gaming days. I just don't get the excitement for new games today than I did for this game. Also, the soundtrack and SFX are phenomenal and showcased the best that the Super NES could accomplish. This game is the definition of a classic.
In took 7 years to happen, and you know what? The more things change, the more they stay the same. Super Metroid for the SNES is a massively enhanced, expanded, and souped-up remake/sequel to Nintendo’s 1987 maze/side-shooting masterpiece that captivated audience on all corners of the galaxy.
Aside from this game being a big gem, I can honestly say that this was the first game that I have ever played at 16 when it was released, that if you had full health, killing the enemies, wouldn't drop more energy unless you were under 99 :D
WHAT, you could do that at the end?! I never knew that and I've played this game so, sooo many times!
