Gorgeous. Really that's one thing I completely love about the Super NES - they upgraded the games in an interesting and instructive way: not with CONCEPT, but with DETAIL. The OG 8 bit Metroid was very cool and innovative for its time, especially since it was one of the only non-kiddie major titles on the NES. It was primitive, but had great game play. So you get all this new capacity to render graphics and what do you do? Well, you DON'T change the original game play. You resist that temptation, recognize instead that what was good then remains good now, and you just ADD to the surrounding world to make the whole thing more immersive. They did it with Legend of Zelda, Mario, and this...with epic results.
It looks like a prettier Metroid. Sequels these days radically change almost every aspect of the game it doesn’t even Resemble the game that came before it.
Ryan Shaffer I know, either that or it's just not even scary. a good horror game has to target your fears and immerse you in the game. And good game has to be more than just graphics.
There are so many things the developers of this game understood that developers dont understand now. Even though it wasn't the most graphically impressive game at the time, you couldn't help but be impressed by the atmosphere and design of the game and it is still impressive today.
+Paul Rabe I feel that about a lot of games today. The old ones had such imagination-some thing you can't replace with great graphics. It's almost an inverse relationship.
I played it in 94 at 14yo and without any help. It was great. But what wasnt great was back then if you wanted help you had to find it in a magazine or "strategy guide". Tbh that shit was pretty weak. Basically it was a 30 dollar magazine with some maps and tips for the game. edit.... just saw that people are selling those original strategy guides on ebay for 160$ now hahahahhhahha
Same. I was 13 in 94 and strategy guides were dumb. Getting lost in this world, like NES Metroid, was the best part. Many all nighters slumber parties were spent grinding out the unknown. Ahhh…simpler times.
I know! No other humans except Samus. It's like the games from the 2000s that have bad graphics and almost no NPCs, and you are the only human in a massive city.
I'll never forget opening this game up on Christmas morning and being so happy!!! I played it for the whole year and loved every moment of it. I'm so glad I grew up in the era of awesome things.
As a kid I was never good enough to play this and so now I'm playing through for the first time ever. What a masterpiece. Metroid Dread turned me into a Metroid fanatic
the most amazing part of this game is the sound....the orchestral backgrounds and sound effects coupled with booming bass effects. compared to the high pitched tinny sound effects of the NES, ...the SNES' sound chip is definitely where it complemented many games
Yeah, I was just thinking the other day that the sound quality between the two systems was worlds apart, it was really evident on games like this and my favorite, FF6.
you know i know there are 100% runs by "experts" with less time on here, but its more realistic to watch this guy if we wanna relive playing this game because he makes all the typical jumping mistakes we all made lol.
I dunno lol last time I played I beat it in 1hour and 50 some mins and hadn't played it for years prior to it and it's been a few years since that time now and I'm sure I could still do it in that time or a bit more
I'm 30 and still play Metroid games. 2D side scrollers like Metroid and Mega Man will always be the best and Super Metroid will always be my most favorite game.
What makes this game a masterpiece in my opinion is the atmosphere and the feeling of isolation this game gives you which is created by such a perfect soundtrack and level design.
Yeah, you can't kill this boss (yet). I assumed he just flew off when you did a certain amount of damage, but he will obviously fly off when Samus' health drops below a set value.
I work in front of a computer for 10 hours a day, and I really enjoy playing this in just audio mode and just listen to it. It allows me to focus on my work and cool part about it is that with the sounds changing I can follow where you are in the game without having to look at the screen... The game play is taking place in my head... It's weird because I can still focus and get my work done. Thanks for this long video without voice overs!
I remember playing this when I was about 7 years old and being stuck at certain parts, I would try to leave the planet jumping at super speed outside 🤣 I would always come back and revisit every room until I would find some new entry. I'm now 27 and still to this day this is one of my favourites games ever.
I love how much the music fits the atmosphere and overall feel of the game. Incredibly fitting mood for the style. Everything makes sense, and nothing feels out of place or over the top or even too cheesy. Developers and music writers did an amazing job of this game to make it still hold up in time.
And the gun that metroid gives you when it dies notice the end of metroid fusion when you kill that samus clone i wonder where the inspiration came from 😏
I was introduced to the Metroid Series, with Fusion for the GBA and little bit Prime when I was really young. But Fusion I remember vividly. Anyways this is the hardest game I've ever played 🤣. So much to do so many hidden areas, for the first time in a while I had to use a walkthrough cuz I had no idea what to do. I never realized how easy games are today compared to this.
Just so you guys realize, over 20 minutes of this video was dedicated to the animation of picking up loot. Each time you picked something up it takes about 6 seconds of time. Add it up, it's insane.
@@Smooth_operator32 Yeah, kid, you play it 2-player by handing off the controller whenever you get some loot. 100 loot, 50 turns each, then 1 more turn for the first player to finish it.
I remember my mom taking me to Best Buy to buy me a video game for my 7th birthday. I chose this video game solely because of its front cover art looked cool and had no clue what the game was about. It took me 23 hrs to pass it for the very first time (I was 7 remember). 26 years later and having played it countless times and among thousands of other games I've played over the years, I still say this is the greatest game I have ever played.
I remember asking my Dad to buy this, largely because the box artwork looked amazing and it came in a huge box to fit in a really nice game guide. Had no idea what the game was really like before playing it but it was one of my favourite SNES games and certainly still one of my favourite games.
Awwww man, the music, the sounds, the look, the FEEL!!!! This makes me want to cry!😭I wish I can go back to this time of my life when everything seemed so much simpler! Thank you for posting this! I’ll come back to this when I need those childhood feelings
This game is a MASTERPIECE!, from the beginning till the end NO matter how new games and much improved graphics but this one has a special Mystic that make you love to play.
Even as an adult, I still find this game so frightening, from the songs and sounds to the scenery, and the fact that underneath that suit surprisingly lies a young beautiful girl on an unknown planet fighting monsters 2-50x her size with absolutely nobody to resort to. It really blows off your mind. Amazing game and developers.
I played this game with my nephews on the Super NES Mini and we loved it. The soundtracks, the power-ups and those bosses are hard to compare from the classic. I had the original Metroid game for the NES and it brought me alot of memories.
Best game ever!!! I still go back and play it ever 2-3 years. Just the whole setting, atmosphere, upgrades, sound effects, multi level/map exploration etc etc I could go on and on about how well made this game is but I'm sure those who played it agree 👍
It's so satisfying to watch this play through. I was 16 when this came out and I played incessantly. I used to do speedruns on this long before I knew there were other people who did the same
The perfect game. I remember playing this when I was 13 and I felt completely a part of that world. I simply couldn't put it down. My SNES was destroyed shortly after that in a house fire so I wasn't able to get a new one until a few years ago when the SNESmini came out. Tsunamis of memories rushed back. My 13 year old was playing GTA Online and was laughing at me playing this game. "Daaad, what the hell is thaaaaat?" "It's the beggining of games, you little.."
and if you hold "down" instead of just press it, it will charge up the balls, so the longer you ohld before releasing, the farther it will shoot the balls. fuck I miss this game
Honestly, when I first played this game, I was scared. The atmosphere really creeped me out, and I had a lot of "what is that?!" moments on my first playthrough. The developers were spot on with atmosphere. I wasn't the best at games when I was a kid, so my first playthrough took me 12 hours as I got a little lost from time to time. Still my favorite game to this day.
Oh, GOD, the sheer amount of time I played this game as a kid! I never could get 100%, but there was ONE Item I NEVER could get and that was the Spring Ball. My brother was able to get it, but he never showed me, and I never could find it. So, thank you for this! Also, I love watching someone fail. Not in a bad way or anything! It's better to watch an actual PERSON play, than someone using a Mod to basically play for them (talking about that TAS Mod). The "Human Factor" always makes things better! Trust me, I died NUMEROUS TIMES playing this because of screw ups! Just watching this guy (or girl) struggle at the same places I did back when makes me feel better, because it's just fun to watch, and makes me go "Yup! The number of times I kept failing in that same, damn spot because my timing was off!" Thank you for posting this vid of one of the greatest games ever created, and STILL the best game in the "Metroid" series!
Maximum Borkdrive I wouldn't say they are pointless, *if* "Metroid 5" comes out. Otherwise, they were the downfall of Metroid as it lead to the creation of Other M, which wasn't the best playing game in the world
Bk. Well that's your opinion. Even if it is, it deserves it's praises more than any other games that are more overrated than Super & Prime. Like for example, Ocarina of Time, Sonic Adventure 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Final Fantasy 7, The Last of Us, Skyrim, Mega Man 2 & Pokemon: Red, Blue & Yellow.
Damn this game is beautiful. The scaling, the rotation, its all natural. Mode 7 was way ahead of it's time. Really makes me sad that i was born in 2004, 10 years after this game was realeased, so i missed out on some of Nintendo's (and Sega's) best games they ever made. These games and consoles have so much more character than the current generation.
This game has such a special place in my heart. It was a big part of my childhood. My family didn’t have much but we would all sit around the tv and watch my Dad play the game, and our Mum would help him navigate through each part. Then once my brothers and I were older we would get to play the game ourselves. Just hearing the music in the intro was like remember an old friend. Thank you Nintendo!!! 🫶🏼
I still remember the first time I played that game. It was impressive a game with so much plot and suspense. Me and my cousin got hooked to understand that whole universe. This game is certainly one of the best ever, because it has aged very well. I put Demon's Crest on the same level.
i cant believe i sat through that for three hours but it was a great trip down memory lane. as a teen in the early 90's this game was nothing short of epic!!!!!!!!
Randy Washington i know. lost my snes and all my games as a kid. house fire. but still thats what roms and emulators are for and im sure a local game store will have one if you look. might be expensive but there is also amazon.
too true. i sat there and played it a bit earlier after reading that comment and posting. i miss my snes. all my shit. but the fact remains that people and places still sell them mostly at reasonable prices. if you want it unused you might pay a pretty penny. but mostly alot of people are reasonable.
Matt Way I sold mine when I was saving money for the N64. Recently bought a used SNES off amazon (in very good shape) for only 65 euros though. Made me feel like a little kid again.
Metroid was the first game that really made me think. With all the shooting jumpin and badassery, it's really just one huge masterpiece puzzle. Love this game always
I'm as old as the game, a friend and I played it as kids on an old Super Nintendo. The moment I heard the intro sounds, it instantly sent me on a nostagia trip. Good memories...
Born in 1990. This was the first video game I ever put hands on. My older cousin gave me and my older brother his SNES and bought us Super Metroid. This was this first cartridge we dropped in. It's crazy, I remember exactly who I was with, where we were all sitting and everyone's reaction as we played through. Five years old and a pledged gamer for life. Here I am today finishing Dread. Cant wait to see what's next. Good times.
This is...my favorite game of all time...I love everything about it I like the gameplay The graphic is really good for the snes The bosses and the enemies are really cool and creative I remember all the item locations But the Atmosphere and the music are the best part about it... I just love this game!
Great run…I hate to be “that” guy but there was one small detail you missed. Towards the end during the final countdown, you can go back into the very first room where you got the bomb and you’ll see the animals that helped you during the game. The three little creatures that showed you the wall jump and that bird with speed. Then when you go back to your ship, they’ll be waiting for you and you basically rescue them. I know it sounds crazy, but I saw it on another playthrough and my jaw dropped. Other than that, awesome run.
I don't know about anyone else...but when I saw the baby die AGAIN. I STILL felt just as heart broken and wanting to cry like the first time... Also Super Metroid has be the best soundtrack ever made from all Metroid games💘
I tried playing through this game with the bare minimum amount of items (purposely making myself weaker to make the game harder). I ended up getting stuck at the last area because I didn't have enough missiles to kill the red vial things. True story.
Lmao guys, you could have just blown up what you could. And go back to the middle recharge station and hit again. Then recharge one last time to fight Mother Brain.
In the 1990's as a kid I only had two games, the game that came with the SNES (Super Mario World) and Super Metroid, both games were so immersive and "long", you have to remember that in the 90's games were very expensive, $60, $60 translates to $124 in today's money, so owning another game other than Super Mario World was huge, back then you rented games from small mom and pop video rental places (or Blockbuster, but Blockbuster was expensive to rent, $5 for 4 days or so, I forget) who would have a dozen games to rent for $1.50 for 24 hours. I would rent all kinds of games, Madden, Phalanx, Top Gear 3000, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat 1-3, as soon as I rented Super Metroid I knew it was special, but I still couldn't afford it, as soon as I had a chance to buy a game I did and it was Super Metroid 👍 Super Metroid is probably the best game of the 16 bit era.
I’m playing this right now LOL. Just finished killing Phantoon, the electricity-hogging bastard. I don’t care how old this game is but every few years I’ll play it again for nostalgia
Kaze Kiri Meh it super repetitive backgrounds, hardly any parallax scrolling, simple block foreground slow methodical music, etc. This game bores the hell out of me (besides the few boss battles).
@@hornynigga3150 I wrote this a long time ago, but no, the game has an atmosphere that's super epic. It was a really great game in it's time, won every award, and it's still epic. I really love the storyline. They don't make games or write stories like this anymore in my experience....
Whoever you are, I'm happy you uploaded this. I love this game. I'm old now. Don't have time to play it anymore. But I can find a little time to watch.
Noah Mamet Meh it super repetitive backgrounds, hardly any parallax scrolling, simple block foreground slow methodical music, etc. This game bores the hell out of me (besides the few boss battles). Best game ever No. Most overrated game Yes
Here’s my attempt at scripting it between the sequences with Ridley, her Metroid, and Mother Brain. 3:58 - 4:20: Give that back you flying space fiend! You snatched my metroid and now I will find you and I will destroy you! 2:40:10: Ridley! We meet once again! Because of you taking my metroid away from me, this is where I must end you after coming all this way towards the depths of Norfair! Now prepare to be obliterated! 2:42:10: It’s gone! It must have survived and escaped elsewhere. Better keep searching. I know. Now that’ve killed all the 4 main bosses, their statues can open up to Tourian where Mother Brain is at. It’s no doubt my metroid is down there. 3:03:24: Hey! There you are! Wow you got so big and- - -Whoa! What are you doing!? It’s me! It’s me! STOP IT! STOP IT AT ONCE! YOUR DRAINING ME OUT! (Metroid realizes, gets apologetic, and flies away in sham) Wait! Come back! It’s okay! I know how alert you can be! Shoot. Better go see where it went. 3:05:47: Mother Brain! How did you get planted back in there after I destroyed you, previously!? Well I must do it again I suppose. 3:06:25: WHAT IS THIS MONSTROUS ABOMINATION YOU BECOME!? YOU WERE JUST A LONE BRAIN! 3:07:10: WHY! WON’T! YOU! DIE! 3:07:16: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! 3:07:40: In so much pain...I’m very weak... I’m so doomed... 3:07:48 - 3:07:18: (Metroid storms in to attack Mother Brain) Whaaat? My metroid is saving me now? That’s it... Keep trying to weaken her...Oh thank you so much...Please replenish me... 3:07:35: She’s back up! Hurry up! 3:08:55: NOOOOO! You killed this precious creature of mine! (Metroid falls on Samus) LOOK WHO’S POWERFUL NOW, HUH!? I’M ABOUT TO OWN YOU HARD THIS TIME! 3:09:30 - 3:09:45: Phew! I destroyed this terrifying beast with the most powerful beam that my precious metroid has sacrificed and left for me to defeat her for good! I successfully avenged it. Whoa! I gotta get the hell out of here! This entire planet is going to explode!
My nephew borrowed my copy of this game and never gave it back. It was the ONLY game I LOVED. I was looking for a replacement copy and getting HIGHLY disappointed because it now cost anywhere from $80 - $250. I came across this video and it helped my grief about not having the game a LITTLE bit, but it also just made me miss it even more. I got to the point when I played it that I was also able to get 100% of the items and beat it in under 3 hours, just like you did in this video. I didn't watch the whole thing, just the last 10 minutes or so, but thank you for letting me, at least, relive my favorite game one more time. I'll never get to play it again, but at least I got to see the ending again...
It's on the SNES classic - those aren't generally north of $80, work on modern TVs via HDMI and you get 20+ other titles to play. I never played as a kid, so enjoying it now on the classic is really cool.
@@slickriven Only a couple of problems...lol First, I only play 3 of those games and I still have the cartridges for the other two games. I DO also still have my console. Second, despite that first fact, I did still look into them. Tried to price them out and the cheapest I could find it was around $125 and that had a $10 shipping charge. The cheapest on Amazon was $180 and that's just for a renewed one. Walmarts $240 and Ebay has them for $125 to $200. Out of curiosity, where'd you find the $80 pricing? Thanks anyway though. Despite the fact that'd I'd LOVE to be able to play the game, and even try a few of the others it comes with, I'm disabled on live off disability pay. Buying one would mean going without something I actually need for a couple of months. However, I really DO appreciate you letting me know about them. It's good to know that there's a way for others who, either never had the chance, or those who just want to revisit their past, to play the games that brought me so much joy as I was growing up. I'm glad that people have that option! :)
@@eiyiyi apologies, I temporarily forgot that in 2020, gaming prices are way up. I got my SNES classic new when it released for $80, but they have gone up in price. I think it's still a decent option since it has several great games to play, but yeah isn't as cheap currently.
Man, I remember getting this game when it was released. I was so impressed with all of the features this game had. The atmosphere of the game and just the game dynamics still hold up today. Game is a masterpiece.
When I first played this game and saw Ridely literally come flying towards the screen it made me jump. Then I was cheering how fucking cool that scene was. Started the game over three or four times just to see it again. This game was LEGENDARY!!
I was born in 93 and this was one of the few games my uncles had on the Super Nintendo. I don’t think any other game had this vibe, and the difficulty was quite tough as a youngin!
I remember getting like 96% or about and using x-ray in the entire game 10 times never finding the last 4% -.-, and touching the cartridge with the console on accidentally and wiping the save.
I'm glad this exists for nostalgia reasons, as a little kid, I think 10 when this came out, it took me several days to several weeks and ultimately a whole Summer to figure out the hidden places and how to approach these bad guys strategically.
Just finished watching the whole video. I have never played this game. But I’ve gotten so much pleasure just watching this masterpiece, graphics, all cool diverse weaponry, the atmosphere and one of the best music in video game history
Will just mention that by the time you got up to Kraid's lair through bomb jumping you probably could have gone down to Norfair, grabbed the High Jump Boots and gotten back up to Kraid's Lair entrance again.
i went down there, picked up the energy tank and the ironic this is that i forgot that there were hidden entrances in this game so i forgot to pick up the boots...
Honestly, thank you so much, i had completed a little over half the game, and i knew i was missing crucial shit, and you filled in those blanks so quickly i cannot stress how much more enjoyable the game became once i started filling in those gaps and found little things i would have otherwise overlooked

All theses years later, it baffles me just how HUGE this game is. Plus the isolated atmosphere of Samus’ journey is still so effective.
Apparently it was the largest game at the time of release at 3 megabytes.
3 megs? Considering the time, that’s like a terabyte
It's the largest game to be released on the SNES, yes!
@@memoria_lmao bigger than Yoshis island ? Woah
Everyone tries to make these "creepy" games but its an atmosphere like this game that creeps you out not crappy jumpscares...
agreed
I think people try to hard at making games
Ryan Shaffer I know, either that or it's just not even scary. a good horror game has to target your fears and immerse you in the game. And good game has to be more than just graphics.
+Demetrius LaShawn Umm I'm christian... so... you've got the completely wrong idea...
+Demetrius LaShawn what?
Brought tears to my eyes..my deceased uncle played this game day and night.we used to sit next to him.he completed 100 percent back in 1995
i am sorry for your uncle
My mom never got 100%, but she loved this game. Her favorite boss was Ridley.
i played this game back in 96 but i didnt finished it though .
@@traviskent4127 Your mom had fucking taste!!
Think 1993 but I was all ways figuring time
This game aged so well. The graphics are still hella badass. Colorful and vibrant brings so much life to each sector 😍
xactly. thats whats missing from "modern" games. Color
There are so many things the developers of this game understood that developers dont understand now. Even though it wasn't the most graphically impressive game at the time, you couldn't help but be impressed by the atmosphere and design of the game and it is still impressive today.
True.
+Paul Rabe I feel that about a lot of games today. The old ones had such imagination-some thing you can't replace with great graphics. It's almost an inverse relationship.
to me, this is the best game ever made
also, this game was created by the japanese, most games today are made by american companies
***** Agreed.
Total admiration for those children from 1994 who played the game without guides and without internet. Applause.
I played it in 94 at 14yo and without any help. It was great. But what wasnt great was back then if you wanted help you had to find it in a magazine or "strategy guide". Tbh that shit was pretty weak. Basically it was a 30 dollar magazine with some maps and tips for the game. edit.... just saw that people are selling those original strategy guides on ebay for 160$ now hahahahhhahha

@FoxRNG TBH in 2004 most people had internet on their phones or PC. And all those magazines, PC Gamer had good guides
Tnx i did and i have my cartridge yet 👍
damm I almost did it without watching videos man I completed the game but I had 91% of items
Its amazing how isolated this game made you feel
And I love it for that. 7 p.m. on a Friday night.
Freaked me out as a kid
The original too
That's how real horror is done! Seriously one of my first entries of a "scary" game.
I know! No other humans except Samus. It's like the games from the 2000s that have bad graphics and almost no NPCs, and you are the only human in a massive city.
I'll never forget opening this game up on Christmas morning and being so happy!!! I played it for the whole year and loved every moment of it. I'm so glad I grew up in the era of awesome things.
Indeed. Awesome things.
As a kid I was never good enough to play this and so now I'm playing through for the first time ever. What a masterpiece. Metroid Dread turned me into a Metroid fanatic
the most amazing part of this game is the sound....the orchestral backgrounds and sound effects coupled with booming bass effects. compared to the high pitched tinny sound effects of the NES, ...the SNES' sound chip is definitely where it complemented many games
Yeah, I was just thinking the other day that the sound quality between the two systems was worlds apart, it was really evident on games like this and my favorite, FF6.
When I wanna played this game for the first time, I was scared because of the music lol
You don't need to go back to the NES, just look at the poor megadrive... :-)
It's so good!
Right?! The music and sound effects are so good.
you know i know there are 100% runs by "experts" with less time on here, but its more realistic to watch this guy if we wanna relive playing this game because he makes all the typical jumping mistakes we all made lol.
He has absolutely no feel. I cringed, then smack talked his bomb jump technique.
not everyone...
It's weird though he seems to know the layout of the game well but at times it's like watching someone's first play through?!
I dunno lol last time I played I beat it in 1hour and 50 some mins and hadn't played it for years prior to it and it's been a few years since that time now and I'm sure I could still do it in that time or a bit more
@@burtbackattack agreed 100%
I'm 30 and still play Metroid games.
2D side scrollers like Metroid and Mega Man will always be the best and Super Metroid will always be my most favorite game.
DragonsEdge84 i agree but what about Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation 1?
but do you still play now?
I’m 34 and still playing it , it is indeed the best game ever made
Same thing with me
Totally agree
What makes this game a masterpiece in my opinion is the atmosphere and the feeling of isolation this game gives you which is created by such a perfect soundtrack and level design.
I just don’t get the boss battles, how is he hurting the boss ?? He’s not shooting at all 4:00
@JG2 The boss isn't getting hurt, Samus is. She's just not losing life because I think that part was a guaranteed survival part.
Yeah, you can't kill this boss (yet). I assumed he just flew off when you did a certain amount of damage, but he will obviously fly off when Samus' health drops below a set value.
I work in front of a computer for 10 hours a day, and I really enjoy playing this in just audio mode and just listen to it. It allows me to focus on my work and cool part about it is that with the sounds changing I can follow where you are in the game without having to look at the screen... The game play is taking place in my head... It's weird because I can still focus and get my work done. Thanks for this long video without voice overs!
Exact same here!
Took the words right out my mouth with the voiceovers
Menace
Super metroid ASMR
I used before sleeping love it.
I remember playing this when I was about 7 years old and being stuck at certain parts, I would try to leave the planet jumping at super speed outside 🤣 I would always come back and revisit every room until I would find some new entry. I'm now 27 and still to this day this is one of my favourites games ever.
You know what I love about this. its flawed, its watching a real person play Metroid. Kinda like how I would play it. thanks so much.
Even 28 years after its release, Super Metroid truly remains an absolute masterpiece!
I love how much the music fits the atmosphere and overall feel of the game. Incredibly fitting mood for the style. Everything makes sense, and nothing feels out of place or over the top or even too cheesy. Developers and music writers did an amazing job of this game to make it still hold up in time.
That Motherbrain fight is iconic. I remember playing that for the first time and being blown away by the metroid saving my ass
Truly the one of THE most iconic moments in gaming history
And the gun that metroid gives you when it dies notice the end of metroid fusion when you kill that samus clone i wonder where the inspiration came from 😏
Thank you so much for not tarnishing this work of art with an irritating voiceover. Thank you so much.

This is a perfect game. Even today, this game is a true masterpiece that everyone should experience once in their life.
Levobertus hl2 best game ever everyone should try
I was introduced to the Metroid Series, with Fusion for the GBA and little bit Prime when I was really young. But Fusion I remember vividly. Anyways this is the hardest game I've ever played 🤣. So much to do so many hidden areas, for the first time in a while I had to use a walkthrough cuz I had no idea what to do. I never realized how easy games are today compared to this.
@@marmusa6012 haha I personally thought fusion bosses were way harder. This one does have more hidden areas though.
@@thedinosaur2777 well tbh i was able to fusion im still stuck on Ridleys guards on this one lmfao
able to beat*
Just so you guys realize, over 20 minutes of this video was dedicated to the animation of picking up loot. Each time you picked something up it takes about 6 seconds of time. Add it up, it's insane.
I could listen to that loot sound all day tho I really feel as is I have aqquired something substantial when I hear that sound.
Ah yes, the substantial power-up of 5 more missiles
Yeah, that's when you pass the controller to your buddy in the _2-player mode_ .
@@theonewiththeeyeoftruth884 bitch wat??
@@Smooth_operator32
Yeah, kid, you play it 2-player by handing off the controller whenever you get some loot. 100 loot, 50 turns each, then 1 more turn for the first player to finish it.
I remember my mom taking me to Best Buy to buy me a video game for my 7th birthday. I chose this video game solely because of its front cover art looked cool and had no clue what the game was about. It took me 23 hrs to pass it for the very first time (I was 7 remember). 26 years later and having played it countless times and among thousands of other games I've played over the years, I still say this is the greatest game I have ever played.
I remember asking my Dad to buy this, largely because the box artwork looked amazing and it came in a huge box to fit in a really nice game guide.
Had no idea what the game was really like before playing it but it was one of my favourite SNES games and certainly still one of my favourite games.
I love how she runs ridiculously fast. Like she’s constantly filled with rage goin’:
“FASTER FASTER KILL EVERYTHING”
the doomslayer be proud
She, quake guy and doomguy have a bit in common. Badass supersoldiers running at inhuman speeds
Awwww man, the music, the sounds, the look, the FEEL!!!! This makes me want to cry!😭I wish I can go back to this time of my life when everything seemed so much simpler! Thank you for posting this! I’ll come back to this when I need those childhood feelings
This game is a MASTERPIECE!, from the beginning till the end NO matter how new games and much improved graphics but this one has a special Mystic that make you love to play.
Best ending? You didn't save the animals!
nice
I was thinking the same thing. Not true 100% and not best ending without saving the animals.
delete, start over, save animals
hahaha funny
Thank you for saving me a watch. Unforgivable
One word for this game. MASTERPIECE!
I still have my snes and my super metroid cartridge (along with all three donkey kongs and super mario world)
Even as an adult, I still find this game so frightening, from the songs and sounds to the scenery, and the fact that underneath that suit surprisingly lies a young beautiful girl on an unknown planet fighting monsters 2-50x her size with absolutely nobody to resort to. It really blows off your mind. Amazing game and developers.
I think you take the game a little to seriously...
What a fruit 🤣
I played this game with my nephews on the Super NES Mini and we loved it. The soundtracks, the power-ups and those bosses are hard to compare from the classic. I had the original Metroid game for the NES and it brought me alot of memories.
Best game ever!!! I still go back and play it ever 2-3 years. Just the whole setting, atmosphere, upgrades, sound effects, multi level/map exploration etc etc I could go on and on about how well made this game is but I'm sure those who played it agree 👍
james le half life 2 best game in the world
@@lampham5525 wrong bud
Agreed 100%
The music on this game is amazing.
It's so satisfying to watch this play through. I was 16 when this came out and I played incessantly. I used to do speedruns on this long before I knew there were other people who did the same
That was one of the best intros to any game I've ever seen
The perfect game. I remember playing this when I was 13 and I felt completely a part of that world. I simply couldn't put it down. My SNES was destroyed shortly after that in a house fire so I wasn't able to get a new one until a few years ago when the SNESmini came out. Tsunamis of memories rushed back. My 13 year old was playing GTA Online and was laughing at me playing this game. "Daaad, what the hell is thaaaaat?" "It's the beggining of games, you little.."
i just discovered something like 2 seconds ago. when you charge your beam and go into a ball i spurts out a crap load of bombs.
and if you hold "down" instead of just press it, it will charge up the balls, so the longer you ohld before releasing, the farther it will shoot the balls.
fuck I miss this game
+sprflyenya emulators
sprflyenya thanks for the tip
What’s up with making the ball jump
yea I actually had to read about it before I found out lol
Honestly, when I first played this game, I was scared. The atmosphere really creeped me out, and I had a lot of "what is that?!" moments on my first playthrough. The developers were spot on with atmosphere. I wasn't the best at games when I was a kid, so my first playthrough took me 12 hours as I got a little lost from time to time. Still my favorite game to this day.
Im with you mah man. My playthrough was about 10 hrs too lol.
I was 12 and absolutely loved this game.
Your first playthrough took 12 hours? Lol. Took me two weeks
This game seriously hasn't aged.
It holds up just as much today as during the mid-90s.
Oh, GOD, the sheer amount of time I played this game as a kid! I never could get 100%, but there was ONE Item I NEVER could get and that was the Spring Ball. My brother was able to get it, but he never showed me, and I never could find it. So, thank you for this! Also, I love watching someone fail. Not in a bad way or anything! It's better to watch an actual PERSON play, than someone using a Mod to basically play for them (talking about that TAS Mod). The "Human Factor" always makes things better! Trust me, I died NUMEROUS TIMES playing this because of screw ups! Just watching this guy (or girl) struggle at the same places I did back when makes me feel better, because it's just fun to watch, and makes me go "Yup! The number of times I kept failing in that same, damn spot because my timing was off!" Thank you for posting this vid of one of the greatest games ever created, and STILL the best game in the "Metroid" series!
The greatest Metroid game
No, it is not. Fusion is better. SuperMetroid has great ambient music, but this game is to criptic. And control sux
WellDoneTurner Fusion is good if you like having no exploration, freedom, or you just enjoy having to scroll through pointless walls of text.
Maximum Borkdrive I wouldn't say they are pointless, *if* "Metroid 5" comes out. Otherwise, they were the downfall of Metroid as it lead to the creation of Other M, which wasn't the best playing game in the world
It's definitely one of the greatest Metroid games ever made. Along with Metroid Prime 1.
Bk. Well that's your opinion. Even if it is, it deserves it's praises more than any other games that are more overrated than Super & Prime. Like for example, Ocarina of Time, Sonic Adventure 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Final Fantasy 7, The Last of Us, Skyrim, Mega Man 2 & Pokemon: Red, Blue & Yellow.
Who’s here because of the SNES games launch on Nintendo Switch.
lol me
yep.
Replaying it now about to hit up Zelda link to the past also
Same. I am kinda upset rn because I accidentally hit the reload save instead of create save after 5 hours of gameplay
I started rewinding and basically cant stop rewinding for the smallest crap
Damn this game is beautiful. The scaling, the rotation, its all natural. Mode 7 was way ahead of it's time. Really makes me sad that i was born in 2004, 10 years after this game was realeased, so i missed out on some of Nintendo's (and Sega's) best games they ever made. These games and consoles have so much more character than the current generation.
Watched the whole thing and relived my childhood. Amazing thing is, my 6 yr old kid enjoyed this same as I did!
This game has such a special place in my heart. It was a big part of my childhood. My family didn’t have much but we would all sit around the tv and watch my Dad play the game, and our Mum would help him navigate through each part. Then once my brothers and I were older we would get to play the game ourselves. Just hearing the music in the intro was like remember an old friend. Thank you Nintendo!!! 🫶🏼
lol whole time i was thinking..."god i can't wait till this guy gets the space jump."
I still remember the first time I played that game. It was impressive a game with so much plot and suspense. Me and my cousin got hooked to understand that whole universe. This game is certainly one of the best ever, because it has aged very well. I put Demon's Crest on the same level.
i cant believe i sat through that for three hours but it was a great trip down memory lane. as a teen in the early 90's this game was nothing short of epic!!!!!!!!
Recently got into this game for the very first time, and I can safely say I missed out on so much. This game is outstanding.
I love this game. I remember when I beat it. A couple of times ever since then I was hooked
Thank you for allowing me to relive this masterpiece.
Sucks that i will never get that feeling back, putting the cartridge in smh so nostalgic.
Randy Washington i know. lost my snes and all my games as a kid. house fire. but still thats what roms and emulators are for and im sure a local game store will have one if you look. might be expensive but there is also amazon.
Matt Way i understand that but that feeling you got as a kid while playing will never return. And that sucks on all levels.
too true. i sat there and played it a bit earlier after reading that comment and posting. i miss my snes. all my shit. but the fact remains that people and places still sell them mostly at reasonable prices. if you want it unused you might pay a pretty penny. but mostly alot of people are reasonable.
Matt Way ill look into that
Matt Way I sold mine when I was saving money for the N64. Recently bought a used SNES off amazon (in very good shape) for only 65 euros though. Made me feel like a little kid again.
Good memories playing snes games. It was so much better than current area video games. These were quality games. good times.
+Sam Choi I agree with you along with the Nintendo 64 and the NES!
Tho the best game I've played from the modern era is Super Mario Galaxy
you didn't save the animals :(
@@todieunsung I'm glad I'm not alone in noticing that
Metroid was the first game that really made me think. With all the shooting jumpin and badassery, it's really just one huge masterpiece puzzle. Love this game always
One of those games u wanna play late at night on a friday
And Mega Man x
I did that last night, actually, till about 230 AM.
I'm as old as the game, a friend and I played it as kids on an old Super Nintendo. The moment I heard the intro sounds, it instantly sent me on a nostagia trip. Good memories...
watching this in 2020 and STILL LOVE THIS GAME
Born in 1990. This was the first video game I ever put hands on. My older cousin gave me and my older brother his SNES and bought us Super Metroid. This was this first cartridge we dropped in. It's crazy, I remember exactly who I was with, where we were all sitting and everyone's reaction as we played through. Five years old and a pledged gamer for life.
Here I am today finishing Dread.
Cant wait to see what's next. Good times.
This is...my favorite game of all time...I love everything about it
I like the gameplay
The graphic is really good for the snes
The bosses and the enemies are really cool and creative
I remember all the item locations
But the Atmosphere and the music are the best part about it...
I just love this game!
I re-discovered this game after purchasing a super nintendo mini. And I fell in love all over again. What an absolute masterpiece.
One of my favorite games of all time. This and, Luigi's mansion on the Nintendo Gamecube.
Its a shame I owned a sega and missed out on this when it was originally released. I cant imagine the feels people had...
Great run…I hate to be “that” guy but there was one small detail you missed. Towards the end during the final countdown, you can go back into the very first room where you got the bomb and you’ll see the animals that helped you during the game. The three little creatures that showed you the wall jump and that bird with speed. Then when you go back to your ship, they’ll be waiting for you and you basically rescue them. I know it sounds crazy, but I saw it on another playthrough and my jaw dropped. Other than that, awesome run.
I don't know about anyone else...but when I saw the baby die AGAIN. I STILL felt just as heart broken and wanting to cry like the first time...
Also Super Metroid has be the best soundtrack ever made from all Metroid games💘
1:04 Discount theme from "The Terminator (1984)".
I tried playing through this game with the bare minimum amount of items (purposely making myself weaker to make the game harder). I ended up getting stuck at the last area because I didn't have enough missiles to kill the red vial things. True story.
same here lol it frustrated me
Lmao guys, you could have just blown up what you could. And go back to the middle recharge station and hit again. Then recharge one last time to fight Mother Brain.
In the 1990's as a kid I only had two games, the game that came with the SNES (Super Mario World) and Super Metroid, both games were so immersive and "long", you have to remember that in the 90's games were very expensive, $60, $60 translates to $124 in today's money, so owning another game other than Super Mario World was huge, back then you rented games from small mom and pop video rental places (or Blockbuster, but Blockbuster was expensive to rent, $5 for 4 days or so, I forget) who would have a dozen games to rent for $1.50 for 24 hours. I would rent all kinds of games, Madden, Phalanx, Top Gear 3000, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat 1-3, as soon as I rented Super Metroid I knew it was special, but I still couldn't afford it, as soon as I had a chance to buy a game I did and it was Super Metroid 👍
Super Metroid is probably the best game of the 16 bit era.
Major flashbacks watching this. I was so immersed in this game. Awesome.
I’m playing this right now LOL. Just finished killing Phantoon, the electricity-hogging bastard. I don’t care how old this game is but every few years I’ll play it again for nostalgia
Best game ever! There has never been a game made so perfect.
Kaze Kiri Meh it super repetitive backgrounds, hardly any parallax scrolling, simple block foreground slow methodical music, etc. This game bores the hell out of me (besides the few boss battles).
David Steck David Steck You would love the game virtual Bart on the SNES, it's perfect for you man, right up your alley...
David Steck This game is hailed by many as the greatest game of all time, if you can't why, you've missed something....
@@UXSpecialist nostalgia
@@hornynigga3150 I wrote this a long time ago, but no, the game has an atmosphere that's super epic. It was a really great game in it's time, won every award, and it's still epic. I really love the storyline. They don't make games or write stories like this anymore in my experience....
Level design, weapons, atmosphere and sheer scale make this still one of Nintendo's finest games ever made.
Samus only reveals her true form at the end for a few seconds!
But at least she shows it!
Didn't need to rely on TH-cam to beat this game as I gradually figured it out over the years and glad I can still play it as I got the classic SNES.
Whoever you are, I'm happy you uploaded this. I love this game. I'm old now. Don't have time to play it anymore. But I can find a little time to watch.
Best game ever?
Best game ever.
YES
Absolutely
Yup
Noah Mamet Meh it super repetitive backgrounds, hardly any parallax scrolling, simple block foreground slow methodical music, etc. This game bores the hell out of me (besides the few boss battles). Best game ever No. Most overrated game Yes
Idk castlvania and mega man x give it a good run for its money
man I never beaten this game, as a kid this was super hard
Not really. It was hard to get 100% or to get a good time but simply just finishing it wasn't that bad.
@Jerry Smith I did.
Jerry Smith I was 7 or 8. No guide either. Only thing I’m proud of in life
i didnt understand it as a kid but had this game.. just watched it now and was like how the fuck is a kid gonna know that. LOL
I remember being stuck at the second Ridley fight for ages. I kept running out of bombs and missiles lol
Here’s my attempt at scripting it between the sequences with Ridley, her Metroid, and Mother Brain.
3:58 - 4:20: Give that back you flying space fiend! You snatched my metroid and now I will find you and I will destroy you!
2:40:10: Ridley! We meet once again! Because of you taking my metroid away from me, this is where I must end you after coming all this way towards the depths of Norfair! Now prepare to be obliterated!
2:42:10: It’s gone! It must have survived and escaped elsewhere. Better keep searching. I know. Now that’ve killed all the 4 main bosses, their statues can open up to Tourian where Mother Brain is at. It’s no doubt my metroid is down there.
3:03:24: Hey! There you are! Wow you got so big and- - -Whoa! What are you doing!? It’s me! It’s me! STOP IT! STOP IT AT ONCE! YOUR DRAINING ME OUT! (Metroid realizes, gets apologetic, and flies away in sham) Wait! Come back! It’s okay! I know how alert you can be! Shoot. Better go see where it went.
3:05:47: Mother Brain! How did you get planted back in there after I destroyed you, previously!? Well I must do it again I suppose.
3:06:25: WHAT IS THIS MONSTROUS ABOMINATION YOU BECOME!? YOU WERE JUST A LONE BRAIN!
3:07:10: WHY! WON’T! YOU! DIE!
3:07:16: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
3:07:40: In so much pain...I’m very weak... I’m so doomed...
3:07:48 - 3:07:18: (Metroid storms in to attack Mother Brain) Whaaat? My metroid is saving me now? That’s it... Keep trying to weaken her...Oh thank you so much...Please replenish me...
3:07:35: She’s back up! Hurry up!
3:08:55: NOOOOO! You killed this precious creature of mine! (Metroid falls on Samus) LOOK WHO’S POWERFUL NOW, HUH!? I’M ABOUT TO OWN YOU HARD THIS TIME!
3:09:30 - 3:09:45: Phew! I destroyed this terrifying beast with the most powerful beam that my precious metroid has sacrificed and left for me to defeat her for good! I successfully avenged it. Whoa! I gotta get the hell out of here! This entire planet is going to explode!
On my 36th birthday this really brings me back to the 90's THANK YOU!!!! This video is all i need too!!!
My nephew borrowed my copy of this game and never gave it back. It was the ONLY game I LOVED. I was looking for a replacement copy and getting HIGHLY disappointed because it now cost anywhere from $80 - $250. I came across this video and it helped my grief about not having the game a LITTLE bit, but it also just made me miss it even more. I got to the point when I played it that I was also able to get 100% of the items and beat it in under 3 hours, just like you did in this video.
I didn't watch the whole thing, just the last 10 minutes or so, but thank you for letting me, at least, relive my favorite game one more time. I'll never get to play it again, but at least I got to see the ending again...
It's on the SNES classic - those aren't generally north of $80, work on modern TVs via HDMI and you get 20+ other titles to play. I never played as a kid, so enjoying it now on the classic is really cool.
@@slickriven Only a couple of problems...lol
First, I only play 3 of those games and I still have the cartridges for the other two games. I DO also still have my console.
Second, despite that first fact, I did still look into them. Tried to price them out and the cheapest I could find it was around $125 and that had a $10 shipping charge. The cheapest on Amazon was $180 and that's just for a renewed one. Walmarts $240 and Ebay has them for $125 to $200. Out of curiosity, where'd you find the $80 pricing?
Thanks anyway though. Despite the fact that'd I'd LOVE to be able to play the game, and even try a few of the others it comes with, I'm disabled on live off disability pay. Buying one would mean going without something I actually need for a couple of months.
However, I really DO appreciate you letting me know about them. It's good to know that there's a way for others who, either never had the chance, or those who just want to revisit their past, to play the games that brought me so much joy as I was growing up. I'm glad that people have that option! :)
@@eiyiyi apologies, I temporarily forgot that in 2020, gaming prices are way up. I got my SNES classic new when it released for $80, but they have gone up in price. I think it's still a decent option since it has several great games to play, but yeah isn't as cheap currently.
OBJECTION: you did not save the animals. How could you call this a 100% complete?
the atmosphere in this game is just amazing
I liked this game more than Super Mario World and I have more nostalgia for that game. This game is a MASTERPIECE
Man, I remember getting this game when it was released. I was so impressed with all of the features this game had. The atmosphere of the game and just the game dynamics still hold
up today. Game is a masterpiece.
This use to be one of my favorite games as a kid. This, and Lion King, and 007:Goldeneye.
One of the best and most memorable title screen sequences in a game, by far

I was born in 93 and this was one of the few games my uncles had on the Super Nintendo. I don’t think any other game had this vibe, and the difficulty was quite tough as a youngin!
I remember getting like 96% or about and using x-ray in the entire game 10 times never finding the last 4% -.-, and touching the cartridge with the console on accidentally and wiping the save.
i felt this in my soul
You forgot to save that bird and those little gremlings😭
Darkest atmosphere in game i have ever seen :'(
+Gökhan Dökmetaş Well, the series was inspired by the Alien films. Not to mention the theme to Super Metroid kinda sounds like the Terminator theme.
+Andres Acosta and also, the badass stargate, unless my movie references is off, then i agree with aliens and terminator references
+Gökhan Dökmetaş It was indeed dark for its time....but I can think of a plethora of games today that have much darker premises to them
+TheMireaux7 true
The Suffering had some of the best atmosphere.
I'm glad this exists for nostalgia reasons, as a little kid, I think 10 when this came out, it took me several days to several weeks and ultimately a whole Summer to figure out the hidden places and how to approach these bad guys strategically.
Just finished watching the whole video.
I have never played this game.
But I’ve gotten so much pleasure just watching this masterpiece, graphics, all cool diverse weaponry, the atmosphere and one of the best music in video game history

i did bro
+N.I.C.K.L.S. so he dont got the best aending - and there was enough time left
N.I.C.K.L.S. (Nikita Baimov) to save seconds
So the X doesn’t spread.
Kathleen Formanek, Game Theory is bad, and they are just theories, so don’t immediately believe them. It’s also been proven to not be true.
Will just mention that by the time you got up to Kraid's lair through bomb jumping you probably could have gone down to Norfair, grabbed the High Jump Boots and gotten back up to Kraid's Lair entrance again.
i went down there, picked up the energy tank and the ironic this is that i forgot that there were hidden entrances in this game so i forgot to pick up the boots...
This really is a fantastic game. Makes my top five of all time list for sure.
Honestly, thank you so much, i had completed a little over half the game, and i knew i was missing crucial shit, and you filled in those blanks so quickly i cannot stress how much more enjoyable the game became once i started filling in those gaps and found little things i would have otherwise overlooked
