Say what you want about Fusion, but it really has the best bosses of ALL Metroid games imo (2D and Prime). And I like that it manages to create its own identity, because even though it is a really linear experience, it shines through atmosphere, story and difficulty.
16:05 “According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that RIDLEY should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. RIDLEY, of course, flies anyway. Because RIDLEY doesn't care what humans think is impossible.”

Try fighting this fucker with full emulator volume and half Headphone volume. *Kicks you out at HYPER SONIC SPEEDS (Almost literally)* GET OUTTA HERE YOU DAMN WIMP!
I love the different soundtracks for the bosses! This game is very outstanding, an exquisite gem as most of the sidescroll games of the metroid franchise. I am glad I had the chance to played it back when it got released till these days.
@@zeefrunk9459 see my dumbass as a kid thought the sa-x could track you through the game, so I never ended up playing it again until I became a teen. My own mind was my worst enemy, cause it turned out the sa-x was scripted, and was as dumb as a brick anyway lol.
One thing I like is how almost every boss either has to slowly form out of X’s or creep on screen before the fight so you get a chance to see them and get an idea of how they might move. But the one with the speed booster, Serris, instantly bolts on screen and if it’s you first time you won’t know where to stand meaning he will most likely get the first hit. It’s awesome.
Fusion was the first Metroid game I ever played. For me, the point where you fight the spider (Yakuza?) was always the point where the game got really hard for me. Took me so many tries to beat both that and Nightmare.
i find it incredible how well the music matches each boss fight perfectly. for serris is fast pased and adrenaline pumping, while for something like Nettori it's creepy and unnerving

I've just come here after beating Metroid Dread and I got a lot of nostalgia. This game, Metroid Fusion, was my very first videogame played and I still remember the fear and felling of being lost that it gave me. I was only 7 and I dropped it too scared of SA-X, but I randomly found my GBA with the cartrige still in when I was 15, so I managed to finally finishing it, giving the respect it deserved. I love this game, thank you for having introducted me to the videogames world
You really brilliantly summed up the game in this video; I'm particularly happy with how you edited the transitions from fight to fight, so that it often looks as though they're literally happening in consecutive rooms with no sense of a break. You've also really illustrated some alternate tactical approaches to some of the fights that have really helped me in replaying the game recently.
For me the toughest bosses where: 3. Security Robot (first battle): my shots kept missing and those flames where hard to dodge when focussing on hitting it. 2. Nightmare: for me his attacks where hard to dodge in the gravity section and I could barely hit him plus he looked creepy which made me nervous. 1. That damn hell spider (though the second half is easy the first half is annoying as hell and he does soo much damage when he grabs you.
RickyBBlessed My oldest brother (I said that because I have more than 1 older brother, of course) thought phase 2 with the spider was the most annoying. I found it hard at first but then I just spammed missiles. *Spamming always wins.*
I had problems with Yakuza, Ridley and Serris. Serris is just luck. Yakuza keeps chaining hits bc of I frames doesn't protect us from getting captured. And Ridley, I didn't know wave beam was that strong so I just put 150 missiles up his *ahem* back. (Also Security robot's name is BOX)
Callum Lee oh yea the first time I beat the game I saw Ridley the first thing I said was OW MY EARS! Then I said WAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO YOU RIDLEY
ringlhach I wish I had Fusion on the Gameboy advance so that I could use the suit in Prime. Ok I don't really want it that much. Our only hope for Fusion Samus is a game that takes place at the end of the timeline
Yakuza is always where I start having trouble keeping up with the boss patterns and being overwhelmed by the little things they throw at you. I tried doing a 1% run and it fell apart at him
How in the absolute hell did you manage this?! This game is absolutely ridiculous. Especially Neo Ridley, I'm surprised you're not taking contact damage every second due to how gigantic he is, and that he didn't grab you even once.
BeetLoot Yeah, after watching this, I started fighting Ridley a bit more aggressively. I only got grabbed once and I barely took any damage. He also went down much faster. I have no idea what I changed. ._.
BeetLoot Yeah, that thing was really annoying. Although, it becomes much easier when you realise only one flower can hit you on one platform each if you're standing still. Then it becomes a matter of jumping over the beam shots.
BeetLoot Meh, I had a bit of difficulty against the actual SA-X, but it's mutated form was pathetic. No projectiles, predictable jump attack, and it only takes two or three charge shots to kill it. Hell, the Core X after it was more difficult!
Just something pointless I wanted to mention, but when the atmospheric cooler is turned on, it plays the same sound that plays in the beginning of a race in F-Zero.
Well, if you think not in the Omega Metroid, but the SA-X being the final boss, i'd say Metroid Fusion has a better final battle. I mean, the damn thing is a complete nightmare throughout the entire game.
but the final boss, S.A.X. was a complete joke and really disappointing seeing how scary this being was before the fight. Even the nightmare felt more like a final boss then him!
Zachary Putnam man you are right.when you see the sa-x during the game,you always take a bit scared.but he as a final boss...was a suck.and i dont have to talk about the omega metroid,right?and you aren't right about nightmare be the final boss.he who gave more job to beat!
I thought so too, until I realized they didn't have much to work with. Maybe if they closed the room space a bit. But to be honest there just isn't too much you can do with the SA-X aside from giving it a bigger HP bar and a smaller room.
Something that I really do love in Fusion is the Mega Man kind of way that most of the bosses incorporate their power up really well into the fight. Like for a lot of Metroid, it feels more like “oh hey, go fight Kraid. Good job here’s your Varia Suit”. But for this game? They meld it into the mechanics of the boss. Want your morph ball? Dude’s gonna roll into a ball and run you over. Want your high jump? Plant thingy’s gonna jump on you. Want your Gravity suit? This melty thing can control gravity. *SPOILERS BELOW FOR DREAD* Especially since Dread is just out as I’m writing this and have played through, I like that that’s been brought back with the EMMI’s, how each one you destroy gives you a power-up that’s linked to /how/ they tried to capture you (tight spaces, speed, ice, etc.)
Metroid is by far my favorite and most respected game in the world. The sense of adventure, suspense, and fear just creates the perfect gaming playground for me
If Metroid Fusion had boss achievements: Roll 'im over: Defeat Arachnus Almost got me: Defeat Elephant Bird Set 'em up knock 'em down: Defeat Zazabi Super sonic sucker: Defeat Serris I'm no intruder: Weaken the B.O.X. Security Robot Saboteur sabotaged: Defeat Mega Core-X Poser pulverized: Defeat the Scientist Mimic Crawl on back to mommy: Defeat Yakuza Machinery CPR: Defeat Nettori The nightmare's over: Defeat Nightmare Talk about a headache: Defeat the B.O.X. Security Robot Final destination for this dragon: Defeat Neo-Ridley Only one Samus Aran: Defeat SA-X Metroid's omega: Defeat the Omega Metroid and escape
I did not know this game, it's really impressive, the quality of the music, the sound effects, the mechanics, now I understand why Metroid has so many titles on different platforms
I know its a bit late, but i thought Ridley X is waaaaay easier with a diagonal blast from a charge beam, since it deals multi hits and quickly stuns it.
What did me in as a 8yo was the SA-X. Knowing it's out there, waiting for me, hunting me. That fu*ked with me. And those cold dead eyes and deafening foot steps
Even tho i was 12 at the time this game came out, some monsters still gave me the creeps like SaX or Serris, because i never liked snakes, let alone a giant alien aquatic snake.
There was definate point point where I had to just out down the game, it's was just too scary for me. Zero mission was much more emotionally manageable than I was
Me and my brother optimized the fun out of the SA-X fight after we got to a certain point, so it's refreshing to see a video of somebody actually making the fight look and feel like an actual fight by jumping around on the platforms so much
Remember this game what’s played a lot of times when i had the gameboy sp and played in emulators for pc,phone and ps vita i don’t get tired of play this and zero Mission amazing childhood memories
I'm gonna go chronologically (yes I'm including areas on planets as well, and anything she steps foot on) - The part of the ship Ian Malkovich went to fix (cutscene in Other M) - Original Tourian from the original Metroid - Space Pirate frigate from Prime 1 - Like, a dozen planets in Prime Hunters - Dark Aether from Prime 2 - Phaaze from Prime 3 - Ceres from SM - BOTTLE Ship from Other M - BSL Research Station from Fusion - SR388 from Fusion - Some other planet caught in the explosion when the BSL station impacted SR388 Think that's about it.
Protip: For the first BOX fight, you can hang right above the projectile when it detonates and you'll be safe from both pillars of flame. You're also lined up for a shot after it hops twice.
Just gotta be careful and calculate the distance right, otherwise the B.O.X. may hop right in your face and knock you down. Pain in the ass when that happens. >:x
thanks for the nostalgia trip. I forgot how much I hated/was frustrated by all the bosses while still loving the game and getting the feeling of triumph when I finally beat them
The Ridley-X fight and the two halves of the B.O.X fight (taking them together with an unspecified passage of time between them) are easily two of the top 50 experiences in all of video game history, imo. Absolute masterpieces, right up there with the Mother Brain in Super Metroid. (Sadly, nothing in Zero Mission comes close imo.)
I was just poking fun at the fact that the Omega Metroid will always hit you at that point because it's a scripted event. The fight doesn't continue until it hits you the first time. So, in my opinion that hit doesn't count against a "no damage" run.
I love the little touches you added, like only changing to the next boss when you go through a door so it looks like a natural screen transition.

I had trouble against Yakuza, Nightmare, Ridley, SA-X, and Omega Metroid a bit on my first play through
The trick I learned for that security bot is that the flame pillars won't hit you if you're directly above the bomb when it goes off.
I had problems with Yakuza, Ridley and Serris. Serris is just luck. Yakuza keeps chaining hits bc of I frames doesn't protect us from getting captured. And Ridley, I didn't know wave beam was that strong so I just put 150 missiles up his *ahem* back. (Also Security robot's name is BOX)
Charge beam does more damage than missiles, and gave me a victory against Ridley
16:13 And so the childhood horrors and the Shattering of Ear drums commences
Callum Lee i agree.the ridley's screams remember a scared kid
am i the only one that wasnt that afraid of ridley x more nightmare
DaniloPlays_01 No Wonder Samus Was A Coward In Other M Because Of THAT Scream
Callum Lee i
Callum Lee oh yea the first time I beat the game I saw Ridley the first thing I said was OW MY EARS! Then I said WAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO YOU RIDLEY
As cool as Prime was, wish we'd see more Fusion Samus.
ringlhach I wish I had Fusion on the Gameboy advance so that I could use the suit in Prime.
Ok I don't really want it that much. Our only hope for Fusion Samus is a game that takes place at the end of the timeline
You can get her suit in that game in Metroid Samus Returns.
Just going to put this out though: The game gets EXTREMELY hard with it.
@@solarflare9078 yeah, you need a metroid amiibo though.
@@mr.mermit6189 nintendo has granted your wishes
Yakuza is always where I start having trouble keeping up with the boss patterns and being overwhelmed by the little things they throw at you. I tried doing a 1% run and it fell apart at him
Me: Yeah I'm pretty good at Metroid.
*watches him play*
Me: Nevermind
How in the absolute hell did you manage this?! This game is absolutely ridiculous. Especially Neo Ridley, I'm surprised you're not taking contact damage every second due to how gigantic he is, and that he didn't grab you even once.
BeetLoot
Yeah, after watching this, I started fighting Ridley a bit more aggressively.
I only got grabbed once and I barely took any damage. He also went down much faster.
I have no idea what I changed. ._.
BeetLoot
Screw that, I had headphones on... sure the volume was down, but still.
BeetLoot
Yeah, that thing was really annoying. Although, it becomes much easier when you realise only one flower can hit you on one platform each if you're standing still. Then it becomes a matter of jumping over the beam shots.
BeetLoot
Meh, I had a bit of difficulty against the actual SA-X, but it's mutated form was pathetic. No projectiles, predictable jump attack, and it only takes two or three charge shots to kill it. Hell, the Core X after it was more difficult!
Just something pointless I wanted to mention, but when the atmospheric cooler is turned on, it plays the same sound that plays in the beginning of a race in F-Zero.
Probably my favorite 2D Metroid game... Overall it has the best bosses, but Super Metroid has a better final boss IMO.
So this is the last of the 2D Metroid games right? Or have you done the NES one yet?
Yes, it'll be incomplete without the original.
***** :D
Well, if you think not in the Omega Metroid, but the SA-X being the final boss, i'd say Metroid Fusion has a better final battle. I mean, the damn thing is a complete nightmare throughout the entire game.
Dimi-Kun I consider both the Omega Metroid and SA-X the final boss, but I still like fighting Mother Brain more for some reason.
Lmao Ridley on the thumbnail is just like "FITE ME U LIL BITCH" and Samus is all "k"
this is the first Metroid game I’ve beaten. that Ridley fight is one of my favorite bosses ever. i actually think the voice is very well implemented
11:49 well that gives a whole new meaning to the word “nightmare”
OH GOD DAMN🤢🤮
1:04 absorbing butt
LMAO
Lmao
XD
It was a suppository
*absorbent ass cheeks*
Ridley X and his infamous ear rape scream.
Soma Cruz lel yep
If he's going down he's taking your hearing with him
Marcelelias11 oh god
Why aren't you in Smash with the Belmonts?
Sup
Oh how I loved this game ^^
Awesome game with an awesome premise and an awesome list of bosses, I especially loved Nightmare and the new Ridley.
but the final boss, S.A.X. was a complete joke and really disappointing seeing how scary this being was before the fight. Even the nightmare felt more like a final boss then him!
Zachary Putnam man you are right.when you see the sa-x during the game,you always take a bit scared.but he as a final boss...was a suck.and i dont have to talk about the omega metroid,right?and you aren't right about nightmare be the final boss.he who gave more job to beat!
I thought so too, until I realized they didn't have much to work with. Maybe if they closed the room space a bit. But to be honest there just isn't too much you can do with the SA-X aside from giving it a bigger HP bar and a smaller room.
MidBoss666 I hate the new Ridley I like the super metroid one the most
+The diamond Bros
To each their own.
19:12 i always loved that fight, feels like a pvp
in this case looks like the sweaty player vs the guy who just finished the storyline lol
Something that I really do love in Fusion is the Mega Man kind of way that most of the bosses incorporate their power up really well into the fight.
Like for a lot of Metroid, it feels more like “oh hey, go fight Kraid. Good job here’s your Varia Suit”.
But for this game? They meld it into the mechanics of the boss.
Want your morph ball? Dude’s gonna roll into a ball and run you over.
Want your high jump? Plant thingy’s gonna jump on you.
Want your Gravity suit? This melty thing can control gravity.
*SPOILERS BELOW FOR DREAD*
Especially since Dread is just out as I’m writing this and have played through, I like that that’s been brought back with the EMMI’s, how each one you destroy gives you a power-up that’s linked to /how/ they tried to capture you (tight spaces, speed, ice, etc.)
Haven’t read the spoilers but thank you for warning me about them. Much appreciated.
Echoes did the same, and yeah it's always cool when games do that.
Metroid is by far my favorite and most respected game in the world. The sense of adventure, suspense, and fear just creates the perfect gaming playground for me
Sounds like Ridley sat on a cold toilet seat
I mean he kinda did.
@@jonbeech5158 Yeah if u stop and think about where he's been the whole time
IM DYING LMFAOOOOOO
SO RELATABLE
I miss this game. It was my first Metroid.
Now Ridley: (Fearless demon roar)
Old Ridley: AUUUGHHHHH AUGHHHHHHH.
If Metroid Fusion had boss achievements:
Roll 'im over: Defeat Arachnus
Almost got me: Defeat Elephant Bird
Set 'em up knock 'em down: Defeat Zazabi
Super sonic sucker: Defeat Serris
I'm no intruder: Weaken the B.O.X. Security Robot
Saboteur sabotaged: Defeat Mega Core-X
Poser pulverized: Defeat the Scientist Mimic
Crawl on back to mommy: Defeat Yakuza
Machinery CPR: Defeat Nettori
The nightmare's over: Defeat Nightmare
Talk about a headache: Defeat the B.O.X. Security Robot
Final destination for this dragon: Defeat Neo-Ridley
Only one Samus Aran: Defeat SA-X
Metroid's omega: Defeat the Omega Metroid and escape
In this game I was all like “let me sing you the song of my people”
R A A A U G H
A A A A A U G H
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
These were great games for a handheld.
The music, aura, design and the monsters in this game are the extract of nightmares.
7:16 Please tell me that's a F-ZERO reference LOL
I don't get it...
@@byonemesis The theme
@@Dexuz the pre race fanfare
PresMan36 no way that’s awesome. i recognize it from the start of the f-zero tracks in mario kart 8
Always thought about it. Thanks for making me remember
The transition between Serris and the first fight between the security robot was very smooth
I did not know this game, it's really impressive, the quality of the music, the sound effects, the mechanics, now I understand why Metroid has so many titles on different platforms
this game deserves an award to one of the hardest metroid bosses and one of the best metroid games ever 🏆
Who else would love a remake of Metroid Fusion? Not 3d or anything, but with say, the super metroid wall jump, and sequence breaking?
Metroid fusion dosen't need a remake.What needs it is metroid 2.
Well, ah, you know you're in luck right?
Judging by the trailer for the newly announced Samus Returns, it looks like it's going to be a remake of Metroid 2.
Or, more correctly, Samus Returns is gonna be another metroid 2 remake
kill me
SPOILER ALERT.
Well youre in luck because at the end of SAMUS returns they tease Metroid fusion remake at the very end.
The nostalgia ;(
Anybody else that used to be terrified of nightmare boss when they were little?
god, this game is such a vibe
That boss at 5:40 was too annoying for me so all I did was charge my shots and jumped into it.
Wasn't it's name Varia X?
Shadowserg keep up the great work man your one of my favorite youtubers I hope you succeed later on in life :)
You say that as if Shadow isn't the most successful hardcore gamer alive.
Thanks. :)
Thanks for this video Shadowserg. you have my thanks. you helped me beat this game. Come on posting videos man
I know its a bit late, but i thought Ridley X is waaaaay easier with a diagonal blast from a charge beam, since it deals multi hits and quickly stuns it.
This guy deserves more subs.
Most scariest 2d metroid game ever made this game gave me nightmares as a kid
I mean one of the bosses is named the nightmare so
@@kazonii8428 him giving me a nightmare is the reason why I started playing Metroid.
What did me in as a 8yo was the SA-X. Knowing it's out there, waiting for me, hunting me. That fu*ked with me. And those cold dead eyes and deafening foot steps
Even tho i was 12 at the time this game came out, some monsters still gave me the creeps like SaX or Serris, because i never liked snakes, let alone a giant alien aquatic snake.
There was definate point point where I had to just out down the game, it's was just too scary for me. Zero mission was much more emotionally manageable than I was
Me and my brother optimized the fun out of the SA-X fight after we got to a certain point, so it's refreshing to see a video of somebody actually making the fight look and feel like an actual fight by jumping around on the platforms so much
Remember this game what’s played a lot of times when i had the gameboy sp and played in emulators for pc,phone and ps vita i don’t get tired of play this and zero Mission amazing childhood memories
How many planets has Samus destroyed now? I'm thinking at least 4...
Eat your heart out, Mike Nelson.
this is not a planet, it is an spacial station
I'm gonna go chronologically (yes I'm including areas on planets as well, and anything she steps foot on)
- The part of the ship Ian Malkovich went to fix (cutscene in Other M)
- Original Tourian from the original Metroid
- Space Pirate frigate from Prime 1
- Like, a dozen planets in Prime Hunters
- Dark Aether from Prime 2
- Phaaze from Prime 3
- Ceres from SM
- BOTTLE Ship from Other M
- BSL Research Station from Fusion
- SR388 from Fusion
- Some other planet caught in the explosion when the BSL station impacted SR388
Think that's about it.
Zebes*
And half of these wasn't samus herself that destroyed it.
Zebes was because of a bomb of the space pirates,tourian too
Oh right, how did I miss Zebes
Yes, anything she steps on.
60fps + these shaders = beautiful
I have my Gameboy Advance and this game, got I wish it would play this smooth and look this good :(
AerialAceX20A Play it with roms on your phone.
XBRZ ;)
Whoever didnt saved the animals in Super Metroid and see this ending - Hope you feel bad now
Eesh
Dilara's Artwork Channel I don't
Dilara's Artwork Channel ok peta jeez
*Let's them die again after seeing the ending*
Are they real animals though?
Protip: For the first BOX fight, you can hang right above the projectile when it detonates and you'll be safe from both pillars of flame. You're also lined up for a shot after it hops twice.
Just gotta be careful and calculate the distance right, otherwise the B.O.X. may hop right in your face and knock you down. Pain in the ass when that happens. >:x
@@MrDibara That only happens in the second fight.
God, the theme for Serris and Yakuza is fucking amazing.
I love that theme in particular, i dont know why. Its got thst bassy house tones to it. Gets me in the mood for dancing.
If I had a fucking dollar for every time I've been killed by the fucking Core-X!
You'd be a billionaire
GibusSpy 21 I would have about 10 bux
Doctor: “And when did you start going deaf?”
Me: “Well, it all started when I found Neo Ridley...”
What you hear when listening to Neo-Ridley OST: A decent 32-Bit song.
What you hear when fighting Neo-Ridley: *PAINFUL SCREACHING INTENSIFIES*
thanks for the nostalgia trip. I forgot how much I hated/was frustrated by all the bosses while still loving the game and getting the feeling of triumph when I finally beat them
this looks excellent, the filter/smoothing of the pixel looks much better than a lot official retro ports.
I can't be the only one who thought Serris was a pain in the ass the first playthrough.
I defend your opinion. It is exactly what happened to me.
My reaction time sucked so I kept on missing.
Wow Ridley damageless was impressive. Great game and great video :)
The Ridley-X fight and the two halves of the B.O.X fight (taking them together with an unspecified passage of time between them) are easily two of the top 50 experiences in all of video game history, imo. Absolute masterpieces, right up there with the Mother Brain in Super Metroid. (Sadly, nothing in Zero Mission comes close imo.)
God Fusion is amazing, it still looks amazing even today.
To me, Metroid 4/Fusion was one of the last OG Metroid games that had heart pumping Boss fights.
AM2R:am I a joke to you?
Ridley used ear rape! It's super effective! Samus has gone deaf!
11:49 Look y'all! It's Mitch McConnell!!
😂😂😂😂
hahaha you took damage against the omega!
lol jk.
Seriously though, nice job. Especially with nightmare and neo ridley, that was cool to watch.
not realy because the core x healed her
I was just poking fun at the fact that the Omega Metroid will always hit you at that point because it's a scripted event. The fight doesn't continue until it hits you the first time. So, in my opinion that hit doesn't count against a "no damage" run.
@@alexbridden1594 Lemme slash.
insanely well done, especially against yakuza and nightmare...they're hard ass bosses to not take damage from
The transitions between the battles were incredible! Great job! :D
