Today we'll take a look at the evolution of Metroid References & Cameos. I hope you enjoy this new video and please comment your favorite easter egg! :) And btw I hope you're all enjoying the new Metroid Dread. It's so refreshing to finally get to play another new 2D Metroid game!
Another cool video! I tried playing the original Super Metroid and died a lot...I like Samus because she isn't always getting kidnapped, but rather fights off some of Nintendo's scariest fiends
This video is AWESOME! I have been a huge fan of Metroid since back in the 1980s and it is so cool to have all those Metroid references in one location. My favourite from the list is the Bayonetta 2 costume. I was really looking for the Virtual Boy Pinball game as one time I caught Samus's ship as an easter egg years ago. I think the game was called Galactic Pinball.
I really appreciate that Bayonetta didn't do the obvious thing and use the Zero Suit for her costume. They made Samus's power armor look hot on Bayonetta instead.
Yeah, more minigames, and make the amusement park more open world like the Island from Wii Sports Resort, but more explorable. Maybe even get collection items to unlock too.
Okay but Samus and the Metroids inclusion into Kirby's Dream Land 3 is more than a cameo. It's actually part of the game's plot. Kirby needs to obtain Heart Stars by helping others in order to create the Love-Love Stick in order for Kirby to defeat the final boss. So Kirby and Metroid must canonically take place in the same world. So where does Dream Land 3 take place with the Metroid timeline? Well, any time between Zero Mission and Samus Returns, I'd say, considering that Samus is hunting the Metroids in the Iceberg level. Maybe she's been sent to hunt the few remaining stragglers that have made their way to other planets before heading over to SR-388 to finish the job on their home planet. Could be why we see her ship in Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. She's doing the same thing on that planet as well (although considering that her ship is trapped in vines, she might have had a much harder time there). Am I overthinking random Nintendo easter eggs? Abso-fucking-lutely
So Samus has: - Played as a chello player in a Nintendo orchestra - Appeared in F1 racing as a showgirl - Stayed in a hotel in the Mario universe - Gave Kirby a heart star and her screw attack - Explored the Kongo Jungle - Lent Bayonetta her power armor - Visited the Monster Hunter universe - And managed to track down the Metroids in various other universes if they haven't appeared in subsequent games Man this lady has seen and done it all.
The whole reason I got Monster Hunter Ultimate for the 3DS was to play as Samus. It's even better because all the characters already call you Hunter in the game.
I love Zero Suit Samus such a cool woman. A little fun fact to me I didn't know Samus was a woman till Brawl came out and Samus used her final Smash to reveal her Zero Suit self😅.
Project Zero: Maiden of the Black Water, a very Japanese supernatural horror game for Wii U, allows you to play in a Zero Suit, which is more than a little inappropriate for the setting.
One more easter egg : in the PC game Heroes of the Storm, the Starcraft character Lt. Morales has a beautiful Samus skin In "i wanna be the guy" you have an entire level based on Metroid games
You forgot that Samus Aran was featured in a cameo stage in Dead or Alive: Dimensions. And that the Zero Suit is wearable in Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water for Wii U.
7:09 these costumes also show up in Monster Hunter Generations, and there is also a male version of the zero suit costume that isn't shown in the video.
It will take them 20 years to even _think_ of making a Metroid game, but they won't hesitate to throw in a reference somewhere else, no matter how obscure
do one of kid icarus easter eggs please!!! :3 favorite easter eggs are dreamland 3(kirby being friends with samus is cute.),warioware(love the art of the volts and jimmy t with samus.),tetris ds,kid icarus(be cool seeing samus help pit out.) and especially super grand battle x & bayonetta 2 as nico robin(both are pretty similar personality wise and have pretty dark backstories for the usual tone their series/company has.) and bayonetta(both the most badass woman period.:3) fit so well with samus and could see them getting along.
You actually missed a couple references! The metroids appear as enemies in Kid Icarus(1987) and Kid Icarus Uprising(2012). They are called the Komayto, but characters have dialogue about them being metroids. They were made as an homage to the metroid crew who helped work on the NES game.
I see Nico Robin is wearing samus costume in that thumbnail. I believe that one piece game is called "One Piece Super Grand Battle! X" but it's only japanese exclusive, btw. Also, It's really amazing game, too.
@@willeochnoah9099 yeah this was before I found out they confirmed their was only going too be one dlc. Thought with that trailer they were planning a season pass or something
Not an official game, but the amazing hack known as Pokemon Clover has a legendary Pokemon who looks like Ridley with a fake moustache. His name? Notridley. "He soars through space on wicked wings. Notridley may look mindles but he's intelligent. Also, he's not Ridley"
Uhm actually Viridi, Samus and Bayonetta have met and as we all know Kid Icarus and Bayonetta take place in the same universe which means Metroid and Kid Icarus take place in the same universe therefore those are actually Metroids.
Today we'll take a look at the evolution of Metroid References & Cameos. I hope you enjoy this new video and please comment your favorite easter egg! :)

Sad that you excluded the Virtual Boy Metroid cameos and the Zero Suit costume from Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse.

What i love is that they used all the super metroid sounds too
What even are you talking about.
The power suit always looks hot.
@@shadowdahuman that is the thermal suit you are refering to
the suit was always hot, what are you on
Why not just have both? Let people choose which version of Samus they want Bayo running around in instead of pandering.
Nintendo Land deserves a sequel for the Switch!
Yesssssssssssss please Nintendo
Yeah, more minigames, and make the amusement park more open world like the Island from Wii Sports Resort, but more explorable. Maybe even get collection items to unlock too.
TRUE THAT
Nintendo treated that game wrong.
Kinda hard to do without the gamepad. The games would be less interesting without one.
Okay but Samus and the Metroids inclusion into Kirby's Dream Land 3 is more than a cameo. It's actually part of the game's plot. Kirby needs to obtain Heart Stars by helping others in order to create the Love-Love Stick in order for Kirby to defeat the final boss.

Am I overthinking random Nintendo easter eggs? Abso-fucking-lutely
They are plausible though
It is possible, Melee's Classic mode did show that Zebes and Pop Star were a few light years away from each other, before Zebes blew up, of course
@@knuxiellombardiybur8645 I was legit thinking of that while writing my previous comment lmao
@@megaplays2748 Is Starfox in the same Universe as Metriod though?
@@exaltedfalcheon1793 Idk. Do either franchises have any sort of crossover with each other?
Nico Robin with the Samus costume in that One Piece game is something I didn't think I'd need, but here we are.
Oda recently did a Smash Bros crossover again
I thought I recognized her from the thumbnail, but dismissed it as a coincidence lol
You forgot the easter egg in dead or alive dimensions for 3DS, that you can fight an arena of other m and use ridley to help you in battle.
You're right, I completely forgot about that! Thanks for mentioning this reference! :)
Is there any place I can see that in action?
@@cosmiclikesminecraft There's an old trailer on UA-cam showcasing the crossover stage. Samus shows up in a morph ball on occasion, too.

Man this lady has seen and done it all.
She travels other universes
When Metroid has had more cameos than there are games in the series
11:51 very clever Nintendo,very clever
the video came out 3 minutes ago ... how did you do it?
@@ghostflwrs When I saw the title the 1st thing that came into my mind was the Samus Mask in Origami King and then I went straight to 11:51
The whole reason I got Monster Hunter Ultimate for the 3DS was to play as Samus. It's even better because all the characters already call you Hunter in the game.
I love Zero Suit Samus such a cool woman.
A little fun fact to me I didn't know Samus was a woman till Brawl came out and Samus used her final Smash to reveal her Zero Suit self😅.
Brawl is how I got introduced to Samus and her game.
Samus being a woman surprised many players when they completed the original Metroid for the first time and she took her suit off!
When I first played the original Smash Bros. as a kid, I thought Samus was a robot
@@gazoofio makes sense
same here, brawl was what got me into metroid.
There's one you missed, in Geist (2005) for the GameCube. You can find Samus helmet in a lockeroom
Something about Samus tucked in bed wearing the power suit in SMRPG just makes me feel very warm and fuzzy inside
Samus a space warrior and bounty hunter.
12:00
It'd probably look perfect on some OTHER kind of M, though.
I see you there, Nintendo
Y cant metroid crawl?
Hi, in Fatal Frame 4 you can obtain the Zero Suit Samus costume for the main protagonist (sorry if my english is bad :P )
Love the refrences and easter eggs videos. Keep up the great work!
Ah Nintendo Land, the closest thing I ever played of a Metroid and Pikmin game. The Metroid one in particular was really fun to play.
Ikr
My childhood nintendo game...
Project Zero: Maiden of the Black Water, a very Japanese supernatural horror game for Wii U, allows you to play in a Zero Suit, which is more than a little inappropriate for the setting.
One more easter egg : in the PC game Heroes of the Storm, the Starcraft character Lt. Morales has a beautiful Samus skin
In "i wanna be the guy" you have an entire level based on Metroid games
OMG, imagine the Metroids stealing Kirbys power in lore
Sometimes, I want the old items back into animal crossing, at least we got froggy chair
Great video! There was also a stage in Dead or Alive, Komaytos in original NES Kid Icarus, and the whole Samus ship but in Galactic Pinball.
In heroes of the storm there's a Samus skin for Lt. Morales
5:37 i think, the thing is the metroid get bored, get out of samus's ship and want to know another planets
I loved Metroid Blast in Nintendoland? I’d say it’s probably what actually got me to try out the main series.
So Samus is a cellist? Oddly fitting
Never played Bayonetta but the homage is so fantastic. Even the SFX are from Super Metroid.
My favorite is weapon master / monster hunter / Samus. It goes to show she can do anything with anything.
Nobody
Monster hunter 4 ultimate Metroid dlc:
Comically large arm cannon.
Stone Kirby: Ummm... Why am I left out?
You forgot that Samus Aran was featured in a cameo stage in Dead or Alive: Dimensions. And that the Zero Suit is wearable in Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water for Wii U.
The One Piece clip got grouped together with the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate clip!
7:09 these costumes also show up in Monster Hunter Generations, and there is also a male version of the zero suit costume that isn't shown in the video.
It will take them 20 years to even _think_ of making a Metroid game, but they won't hesitate to throw in a reference somewhere else, no matter how obscure
It's a forgotten Nintendo game on then Gamecube but in Geist there was a locker with Samus' helmet in it.
The Metroid level in NintendoLand deserves its own spin off game
There are "metriods" in the original kid icarus
do one of kid icarus easter eggs please!!! :3
favorite easter eggs are dreamland 3(kirby being friends with samus is cute.),warioware(love the art of the volts and jimmy t with samus.),tetris ds,kid icarus(be cool seeing samus help pit out.) and especially super grand battle x & bayonetta 2
as nico robin(both are pretty similar personality wise and have pretty dark backstories for the usual tone their series/company has.) and bayonetta(both the most badass woman period.:3) fit so well with samus and could see them getting along.
This is pure gold 👌🏼🧡
Link and Samus were sleeping in the hotel that Mario was in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the seven stars
Hmmmmm……
HMMMMMM
The one Kirby Dreamland 3 caught me off guard
Metroid has been referenced more times in other games than appearing in it's own
5:43 That mii’s voice really sounds like Bart Simpson.
Kid icarus uprising has voice dialogue where pit calls one of the enemies he’s facing a Metroid while Viridi is trying to silence him
That's in this video.
"I'm resting up for Mother Brain."
I dunno why, I just find that funny
Metroid is the best
Awesome video.
Think you missed the Dead or Alive stage and the Zero Suit in Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water.
2:29 the struggle was real😭
I totally forgot that there was a Samus Gunship car in the Switch version of Rocket League! Too bad non-Switch players can't see it.
Crocomire's skull was probably the most obvious reference out there.
Well hope Metroid Dread sells well enough to save the franchise.
You actually missed a couple references! The metroids appear as enemies in Kid Icarus(1987) and Kid Icarus Uprising(2012). They are called the Komayto, but characters have dialogue about them being metroids. They were made as an homage to the metroid crew who helped work on the NES game.

Sleeping Samus is so cute
Request: evolution of Pokemon references and Easter eggs.
In Geist on the Gamecube, you will possess a girl in the red towel. You will go into a locker room where Samus's helmet is in one of the lockers.
So many references. Not enough actual games
buena evolución.
In "Freddy in Space 2" Chica's design is based off Zero Suit Samus.
I feel like ACNH needs a metroid update, with the Mario one and all. Atleast Samus' helmet
The fortune cookie update. Now paid dlc as the free ones are dead.
@@Blue-fg8vt paid is also dead now but hey if we’re lucky they do actually have Nintendo items in this new update but I don’t have to high hop
@@willeochnoah9099 yeah this was before I found out they confirmed their was only going too be one dlc. Thought with that trailer they were planning a season pass or something
@@Blue-fg8vt it’s probably more likely that they do amibo festival 2 or something🤣
@@willeochnoah9099 a Mario party animal crossing eddition does have potential. But amino festival didn't live up too that idea.
There is a costume of Zero Suit Samus in Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water for Wii u
you forgot the metroids and Samus cameo in Galactic Pinball (Virtual Boy)
10:07 this one is cool bc of the car
Samus plays the cello
Damn
Wait wtf did Wario ware for the gba in 2004 sort of predict the aiming feature from Samus returns/metroid dread? LOL
Not the first time Wario and Metroid are somewhat related, considering that Metroid Fusion was made using a modified Wario Land 4 engine
零シリーズにあった月蝕の仮面で、水無月流歌がゼロスーツサムスのコスチューム着てたな
adrian andrews is a big walking metroid reference
missing is the samus bonus round in pinball for the virtual boy
I think enter the gungeon have a weapon that makes a refference to metroid games
And soon Tettris 99 will have a Metroid Dread skin
You read my mind.
Komaytos do look a lot like little Metroids
F-1 Race on gameboy ❤️
WarioWare beat samus returns to 360° aim by 13 years
wait how did you do that for Kirby's Adventure 3? I completed the game and never saw that happen (or I just can't remember it, but I doubt that)
for Kirby's Dream Land 3, it's in iceberg and in Level 2.
monster hunter generations also had samus armor
Not an official game, but the amazing hack known as Pokemon Clover has a legendary Pokemon who looks like Ridley with a fake moustache. His name? Notridley.
"He soars through space on wicked wings. Notridley may look mindles but he's intelligent. Also, he's not Ridley"
I think you mean
AMONG-
Sammy knows how to play the cello/double bass?
Project zero/fatel frame has zero suit samurai in the wii u version
clicked this video just to see the kirby one
Please, Bob omb (Bobby), don’t remind us of that game.
I think that kirby 3 is canon!
I came here because I wasn’t sure if that’s Nico Robin in the thumbnail
"it would look good on some other kind of M though"
hilarious nintendo. just, hilarious. don't quit your day job
Is it just me or does the Tetris victory theme sounds like the one Carmen
I wished they kept Nintendo land in the switch
Zero suit Anna.
😍🤪
Uhm actually Viridi, Samus and Bayonetta have met and as we all know Kid Icarus and Bayonetta take place in the same universe which means Metroid and Kid Icarus take place in the same universe therefore those are actually Metroids.
MH4 free DLC looks very cool
12:01 Is that supposede to be an Other M reference?
Maddy Phanton 4:54
1:02 hey samus your out of a job... k thanks bye!
Wasn’t samus in mario and luigi partners in time?
F-1 race
On some other kind of M! Clever lol
You forgot the Easter egg in geist on gamecube
Metroid Blast > Other M
