    Still mindblowing how a side scroller from the 90s was able to tell a story just through gameplay, well before cutscenes and audio dialogue were commonplace.
    Masterpiece of a game.

      Honestly, this isn't the only game from that time that did this. Sonic 3 & Knuckles, for example, told it's story just as masterfully. Not a single line of dialogue, it used nothing but gameplay and environment to tell it's story.

      @Hunter-pt4zy Рік тому +1

      Let's be honest though, the story in this game is both cutscenes. The rest is just exploration or a few details small. Both the beginning and the Super Metroid on Mother Brain boss battle are cutscenes. Hell, technically the Super Metroid encounter is also a cutscene. The rest is just masterful development outside of that, but not much story at all.

  • @ShadeKirby500
    @ShadeKirby500 8 років тому +190

    I know this phrase gets said a lot, but this is really a very cinematic fight, and a really well crafted done too. You've been working all the way through the game to get to Mother Brain, and you've fought countless strong menacing foes. Hey, you think the brain in a jar would be easy, right?
    How wrong you are...
    After Mother Brain is seemingly defeated, her tank falls apart, you think she's defeated. But then you see something emerge from the floor under her. This is her real body. Sure it starts out pretty simple, the room you are in is pretty small comparatively, there is just enough room to dodge, and her attacks were not particularly hard to dodge, but they each had their own unique method, such as to avoid remaining completely horizontal to her head, avoid staying perfectly still, and jumping to avoid an explosion.
    So you trade blows with her, you probably unloaded all your super missiles into her big dumb head, and hit her with some missiles, but you start to wonder, "Why is she not changing color?"
    Up until this point, all bosses had a tell that you were actually damaging, primarily stuff such as changing colors. For the beginning of this fight, you had no idea if you were hurting her or not. Its possible that you'd have completely unload all your missiles into her, and still no sign of visible damage.
    Then she starts spamming this thunderclap attack, which lingered, you've progressed in the fight far enough to see a new attack. Then she starts charging...
    She charges for like 5 seconds, your ready to dodge whatever attack she's about to throw you. Then she hits you with it, a rainbow beam. The beam does immense amounts of damage, was impossible to avoid, and not only that, it *destroys all the ammunition in your subweapons*. She repeats this once more if you've had enough health, but sometimes once is all she needs to completely cripple you. You try to get up to continue the fight but you cannot, you just fall back on the ground.
    This is just magic for the final encounter. You've searched for missile & tanks, you've gotten all the upgrades to increase your firepower. But you still couldn't even hurt her. It takes the Baby Metroid's assistance and sacrifice just to gain an advantage in the fight. The statement typically made about the emotional impact of this moment, where the beast that almost kills you before realizing you were its mother, and sacrifices itself to save you. It's truly one of my favorite moments in gaming, and possibly the greatest moment in the Metroid series as a whole.

      Another nice detail. The Mother Brain starts moving more quickly and attacking more often once you get the Hyper Beam (assuming you even give the chance to move). It nicely conveys that the monster is afraid. The one chance she had of beating Samus was taken away and is being used against her.

  • @raine6813
    @raine6813 3 роки тому +19

    the thing i like about this battle is all the little details they added to this,
    the way you can see samus looking up at mother brain when the baby saved her,
    the way they portray mother brain slowly coming back to life by showing her breathing again, then drooling, then gaining her color again and getting up,
    the way you can see the baby metriod started to change to a darker color as it was getting killed by mother brain implying that it was weakening
    and how the music implied that it was time to kick mother brains ass after she killed the baby
    all that stuff shows that the game makers were REALLY dedicated to portray a good narrative all in a game made in 1994

    The way baby rushed in and clamped onto it, you could feel the emotion behind it. baby's love fuelled rage through mother brains shrieks and then it bravely shields/heals you without a single thought for itself.
    I really wasn't ready for that kind of emotional story in Metroid.

    This game has quite possibly my favorite ending stretch to any video game ever. Mother Brain's battle is an endurance contest, which turns out to unwinnable...except for the timely arrival of the last remaining Metroid, and Super Metroid's masterclass in non-verbal storytelling shows up once more. To top it off, the game turns Samus into a goddess and hands by far the best escape sequence in the series (and the best final escape sequence in all of gaming).
    Simply amazing.

  • @nOT_sURE08
    @nOT_sURE08 5 років тому +10

    I see this and it puts shit into perspective. It brings to light the reason behind the outcry of older fans of games (movies, TV, really any form of entertainment) when it comes to the kind of lifeless, mass-produced easily-consumable shit that's made available to us in modern times. It's why we get so outspoken and enraged when Bethesda puts out a "Fallout 76" or when butterfingered Bungie repeatedly drops the ball with the direction and presentation of Destiny's story, or when a promising new upstart shits out a "No Man's Sky."
    It's because we look back on things like this - games from an era when, comparatively speaking, hardware and resources were supposed to be EXTREMELY INFERIOR and yet, they were able to craft a LITERAL MASTERPIECE such as Super Metroid. So there's NO EXCUSE for the games of today to not be mind-blowing and life-changing.
    I look at games today that fall flat of greatness and think of that line from the first "Iron Man" film: "TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE! .....WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"
    But, alas! the game developers of today are not Tony Stark.

    Having never played Metroid 1 before this game, I felt no nostalgia toward this battle until I played Zero Mission. My brain almost exploded when I realized what the first part of the final battle in Super Metroid really was. It almost brought tears to my eyes for a reason that escapes me. I was also touched by the baby metroid's sacrifice. Even without knowing the metroid series back then, I understood the principle behind it. That's why this game's great. It's themes are universal.

    Brings back memories man! I assumed this was a new mother brain, created after the fall of the first one. Obviously smarter and far knowledgeable from the lessons learned from it’s predecessor’s defeat to Samus beforehand. Despite its much stronger fortified position deeper into Zebes and its key Minions blocking access across 4 main areas, it had to prepare better than before, knowing Samus may eventually infiltrate into its inner chamber and kill it. That, monstrous face with the eyes revealing itself as the skin tone changed, and the brain lifting itself off the floor exposing a full cybernetic battle body augmentation really caught me off guard and made for such a thrilling fight.

    While this game didn't have any real plot twists, MB's new form was a twist in itself. It created a form of suspense. You fight the boss similarly to the original Metroid, and it's seemingly over. But her head is still there, and you can't help but think "I have a bad feeling about this." Moments later, she reveals a terrifying new form and mind scarring music starts playing. It's then you have to fight her once again in a tense second round.

  • @rosshirst5474
    @rosshirst5474 3 роки тому

    Such a twist. I remember going to battle with her and when she does the charging scene and makes you weak. Then you got no energy and next to nothing life. Ready to charge again and all a sudden the metronid comes and sucks her energy out and tables are turned. So turns out to be impossible boss to possible. Like I said first time you don't know this was going to happen.

    @DelatoDarion She had her reasons. Read the comics, play, ewwww, other M or Metroid Fusion and you'll realize she was quite attached to him/her. Samus saw herself in the 'Baby' when the last egg hatched in front of her (the only survivor, a child, like she was when her colony was dstroyed. The simple fact she wasn't able to kill it, even if she never had problems killing the others, shouls say enough.). Anyway she gave hir to scientists to protect him and because he was a 'hope' for everyone.
