I would pause the game in this section and pretend to be "Metroid" (or actually Samus, c'mon I was only 5) and turn up the TV really loud. I'd jump around my front room, on and behind the couches, pretending to sneak around and shoot stuff. Same with the "escape theme", no wonder I like parkour now My eyes water at the thought. Wish I could be young again
that’s adorable. i probably would have done the same kinda thing as a kid if i had super metroid (sadly i didnt, but this was the kinda game i would have GUSHED about to the other kids in elementary)
Lol I remember doing a similar thing as a kid in elementary school, I would wear a big winter coat and run around the playground pretending to be Samus, pointing my arm at birds and stuff pretending that it was a blaster cannon
I am old enough to have played this as a kid. I have no nostalgia and it hits just as hard. Music is timeless. I cannot say the impact games have are though but I can say with confidence this OST is not bound to its era.
@@chinogambino9375as someone who only played super metroid a few months ago I can say that it's music and world design are some of the best in the genre
Whenever I close my eyes and let my own imagination wander to this song - I always imagine a colossal underground cave filled with a crimson red water that shimmers with ripples and stretches onwards unrelentingly for eternity with no way out.
I had forgotten how good this soundtrack actually is... gives me chills and also makes me realize how spoiled I was with this game when I was little because even today they’re having trouble topping it.
the gaming industry is at an all time LOW with new ideas. the last few years were horrible. new release trailers lag, and its just sad. missing ideas, so remilking old franchises.
@@coooolibri I share your disappointment. A friend and I had a long conversation because we were reminiscing about WoW and we kind of got to a general feeling that the video game as we know it has changed so much that it's unrecognizable. When we were little, games were like getting your hands on a full, robust and long novel. It was exciting to have and you spent a very long time with each game. I had a computer when I was little also and I remember going to the computer store and buying a game with their huge boxes and full, large game manuals with stories and artwork. Most of the money appears now to be in mobile games. IAP, things of that nature that a whole design studio creating a game like we used to have is simply not fiscally worth it for the shareholders. And so we now have less and less great games. We are in the McDonalds era of gaming.
@@TheFoodieCutie I agree. Even though I wasn't alive in the 90's, I still enjoy playing games from that era more than most games of today. Don't get me wrong, I still think there are some great games in the modern day, like Breath of the Wild and Tetris Effect, but it feels like the overall market has dipped in creativity. Now that many games are becoming download only, there is even less to explore in terms of game contents. At least it's slightly better for the environment.
i was playing this game in the middle of the night and i took my first step into brinstar and this music played...u cant imagine how that sent chills down my spine its atmosphere i tell u
Super Metroid has the BEST music score, I have ever heard on the SNES (with DK 1 and especially 2, trailing right behind it). Man... So epic. This is the game that made me go out and buy a sound system, so I can really crank the volume and bass up.
Yoshi's Island had a lot of good tracks, too. And some surprisingly awesome ones laid out amongst the happy ones; the Castle theme, Underground theme, Boss Theme 2 (the intense one, not the silly one) and Baby Bowser's theme come to mind right away.
When Samus exploration leads her between Brinstar and Norfair.. Deep atmospheric ambiance with pulsating phosphorescence of strange lifeforms in the womb of Zebes.
yep the metroid series uses a lot of them same music just with a spin but it still sounds sooooo good the planet entry theme for aether in echoes and the one for norion in corrutpion are the same theme and i was told they both came as spinoffs from a them in this game
This music has something deeply relaxing. I often listen to it to unwind when I’m feeling anxious or stressed. For some reason, it reminds me of traditional Japanese music and feudal Japan.
They don't make soundtracks like these anymore. This one plays directly into your soul. It's been at least 12 years since I played this game but when I close my eyes and listen to the soundtrack, I feel like I can see Criteria, Brinstar, Norfair (and oh the heat), Maridia, and Wrecked ship! What a game!
This song still sends chills down my spine like it did back in 1996. When I used to play this I always thought thought it was rather strange how Brinstar can go from being bright, green full of life with cool funky music, to red depressing music by going though one door lol
Literally just discovered this song after my friend sat me down to play super metroid for the first time. I've played metroidvanias that take inspiration from these originals but never the originals themselves. Needless to say the game slaps and this song is what really stood out to me.
This game is a classic.Got this game on release day back in 1994. Recently repurchased an SNES this game and other great games of the time for the system.
I was already an adult when I first played this game, and this track still feels like it's drenched in nostalgia for me. This is probably one of the best tracks in the entire franchise.
At last Super Metroid turns 30! Before there was Resident Evil this was one of my favorite games as a kid. The good old fashioned days. Back when games had less or no dialogue certain games had no save points. This theme represents you exploring much deeper areas when your going much further. 30 years later. This game is a true masterpiece!
I mean, if any rapper had enough sense to finally spit some 🔥 over this beat, they'd BETTER give this instrumental the respect it deserves and don't change a damn thing! 😎
99% of nintendo : YAY COLORS EVERYWHERE IT'S PARTY TIME 1% of nintendo (Metroid) : Holy shit this is creepy... Q_Q STILL one of the greatest game ever.
Sem dúvidas a melhor , a nostalgia grita , salta , da cambalhota quando ouço essa música , cara eu me transporto pra 1995 e uma manhã de sábado , numa cadeira na sala e uma tv velha de tubo
This theme plays in a dark and mysterious tune, with a pulsing drone, choir chants, and a somber melody performed by a flute and piano. My favorite Metroid Metroid music. Even though this theme can be heard on other Metroid games as a remake or an arranged version, nothing can top the original one, which is this. The only version I can think of that is equally as the Super Nintendo version is the one from Metroid: Samus Returns on Nintendo 3Ds.
Yes, Yes, yes, this is the SONG that SUCKED you in, you did not need 3-D just this bad ass song! Gosh damn the determination, and chill that goes through your spine and mind while listening to this song, also was my song i listened to when i got stuck and couldnt figure out where to go, no strategy guide for my 12yr old self ,no sir!
@Megamiga96 - That's what made it a perfect environment... The "weirdness" of it created an alien experience. Everything was mysterious and unanswered. The canny way this game was able to maintain it's unexplained variables is what made this game one of the best games ever made. That's one reason games today constantly fail: everything is always explained. Nothing left to the imagination. SM was mysterious in its characters, environs... Even music. It's a priceless artifact.

I'm playing this game in Switch and I'm so impressed. What an incredible atmosphere.
That's Super Metroid, bud. It's the best in the franchise. Very few other Metroid games match its atmosphere.
@@chrisnichols9014I prefer dreads atmosphere and primes atmosphere but I still love supers atmosphere but I do prefer supers music
It's the best metroid game and one of the best SNES games of all time. Top 10 for sure.
@@snowbork252 definitely my favorite snes game by far
Prime 1 and 2 have a similar atmosphere. Better in some ways worse in others.

There was no reason this beat had to go so hard 😤
For real though, they went crazy in the studio making this 😂
Seriously lol

Trap beat before you put the drums in ... That Baby Keem Track with this sample go hard
@@dru-chambersand half the lyrics kinda ruin it tbh (song would’ve gone hard if it was on a different beat imo)

Prime was pretty good you know...
@@joefarrow1599 Sure, I don't deny the excellence of Metroid prime, however, I don't think it's quite up to par with super Metroid.
I love that Metroid Dread quotes this song

its atmosphere i tell u
The "WTF...why do I have to go back here again?" theme
Exactly lol

This music sounds like a bunch of black dudes about to rob a bank in Asia.

I agree! I've played Yoshi's Island again at some point last year. Very nice quality music work.
Nar Comic Underworld for me the best soundtracks in game are from Shadow of the Colossus and Super Mario Galaxy
SotC and Super Mario GAlaxy have amazing soundtracks but they were talking about SNES games.
Nar Comic Underworld thank god I live to play dat game 🤗
WE STRICTLY GANG SHIT❗️
I just released that keem sampled this shit I fucking love that song
OMG! That piano solo...EPIC!!!!
When Samus exploration leads her between Brinstar and Norfair..
Deep atmospheric ambiance with pulsating phosphorescence of strange lifeforms in the womb of Zebes.
Yes! I love how the environment in the Brinstar Depth seems to breathe with the music.
This theme was used in metroid prime 2 echoes underwater temple in torvus bog
yep the metroid series uses a lot of them same music just with a spin but it still sounds sooooo good the planet entry theme for aether in echoes and the one for norion in corrutpion are the same theme and i was told they both came as spinoffs from a them in this game
Yes, and it was an excellent remix!
and now dread too :D
always loved the piano part in this song. it gets stuck in my head all the time.
Atmosphere on point.
This music has something deeply relaxing. I often listen to it to unwind when I’m feeling anxious or stressed. For some reason, it reminds me of traditional Japanese music and feudal Japan.
This is my favorite song of all the games, i remember my childhood times :'(

Loved how Dread used this track in the cutscene with Quiet Robe
They were definitely going crazy in the studio 🔥🔥🔥
There`s a Brazilian rapper that sampled this master piece into a song. The music name is Edi Rock Edi Rock feat. MC Sombra - PARANOIA.
This is the most relaxing song in my opinion!
There was no reason bass had to go this hard 😤
@@zahirecoates Of course there was: To create an eerie, unnerving atmosphere fitting of the game.
When the piano hits!
That piano was crying out in pain from despair

This song is one of the most atmospheric songs ive ever heard. Thanks Sample
Some of the best video game music ever written. I will die on this hill.
My friend played this in the 90s and I watched him beat the final boss. Now decades later I played it for the first time myself and I am in love.
*sets up a power bomb in the crystal corridor*

This takes me super long time before I knew the crystal corridor can be broken
@@yinghsi1207Same here. Took me a long time to figure that one out.
Whats the crystal coriddor? The tube before norfair where you can grt to maridia with Power bombs?
@@Graf-Fischgen-von-Fischgesicht yes
Hearing this song reminds me of Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, love the games
Torvus bog from Prime 2 is a remix of this theme! :)
One of the greatest pieces of 16-Bit music ever 🤌
Listening to this with earphones on is like a nice ear massage.
This game is a classic.Got this game on release day back in 1994. Recently repurchased an SNES this game and other great games of the time for the system.
Scary and beautiful at the same time
I was already an adult when I first played this game, and this track still feels like it's drenched in nostalgia for me. This is probably one of the best tracks in the entire franchise.

Still arguably my favorite or 2nd favorite track in the entire franchise along with all its remixes
In my mind this is THE Super Metroid theme
Not necessarily the best or most iconic
But the one that represents this game the most in my head
God this theme is GOOD
I mean, if any rapper had enough sense to finally spit some 🔥 over this beat, they'd BETTER give this instrumental the respect it deserves and don't change a damn thing! 😎

Thankyou to the composer's of such classic games.

Foda.
O sentimento de solidão que ela passa é absurdo.
Você fez a melhor descrição e sentimento que esse jogo passa neste momento.
playing this game late at night really adds atmosphere!!!
When I first played, I had to play at night. You're right. It made it so much better and atmospheric.
This is the best Metroid theme. There is no doubt about it. I wish they would remake this masterpiece, Super Metroid 3.
This theme plays in a dark and mysterious tune, with a pulsing drone, choir chants, and a somber melody performed by a flute and piano.
My favorite Metroid Metroid music.
Even though this theme can be heard on other Metroid games as a remake or an arranged version, nothing can top the original one, which is this.
The only version I can think of that is equally as the Super Nintendo version is the one from Metroid: Samus Returns on Nintendo 3Ds.
Essa música sempre me deixa depre e feliz ao msm tempo. Super Metroid vai ser um game eterno na minha vida 😍💗

Such a old game yet the music speaks volumes. Old games had theme music down to a T.
1:22 best part
I played this game when I was 3, now I'm 18 and I'm still playing it
When you get to this song, you really start to pay attention to the music, especially in a game where everything being perfect counts.
One of the BEST sections in the game.
Super Metroid is a masterpiece in every single way
Native area with native American like music Always loved it still do
So glad this song came back so many times. My all-time second favorite theme from the game (first is the jungle theme)
1:28 is where it gets awesome :D
2024 and I got this on repeat
This and Norfair Ridley are the best tracks on the game.
I swear I'm about to sample this... You have no idea how many hours of my life I've heard this song...
Baby Keem
Hard to pick a favorite track from the game, but this is certainly a contender.
Seriously, Nintendo was cooking up some straight BANGERS in the OST for this game!
Just listened to this, this does NOT have to go so hard🔥😩. Metroid is so underrated
The kind of song that someone would make a trap mix out of
I Finally Found It!
My favorite
I have aced through Super Metroid so many times. I lost count years ago .
I could’ve sworn I heard the Nintendo service hotline use this as hold music
