Keeping that one part of the song exclusive to the original NES version and not even bringing it back for Zero Mission is one of the most baffling music decisions Nintendo has ever made
I was surprised the first time I heard it in NEStroid because I had already beat Zero Mission before it. Seriously weird that it wasn't included in that game.
I've got a song coming up for you on April 1st as always, and I *might* be able to squeeze in another song the day before, but I'm not 100% sure on that, so no end card teaser this till April! 🫡
Hey Jonny I just want to say that I’m a huuuuge Mario fan and you have the best game covers ever especially the Mario songs like buoy base galaxy, toads factory and more keep up the good work man. Also may madness is coming up I have a requested song for that and that is cheese land from Mario kart super circuit cause that’s my favorite Mario kart track of all time 😁
That triumphant-sounding bit at 1:20, the part that’s apparently exclusive to the NES version of Metroid, I always felt like that sounded like something out of Kid Icarus… which makes sense, after all, Hirokazu “Hip” Tanaka composed for both of those games.
Can we all stop to appreciate the skill involved in taking a loop that's less than 45 seconds and turning it into a banger? I often wonder how Jonny will do it when these tiny clips come up in the Patreon request stream.
My first time playing Metroid Zero Mission, I was on an adrenaline high escaping the mothership, very low health. Beat the two elite pirates, and just when I thought I was home free, the pilot in the fighter jumped out and killed me. I was like fml.
Before there was It’s Pizza Time! Before there was Collapsing Time Rift. Before there was Hurry Up! There was Metroid. As it All Crumbles Down (Underhero)
Nothing excites me more than more Metroid Metal covers! This is super rad! Thanks for making amazing covers as always, keep being awesome! With that said, the galaxy is now at peace 😎
Heck yeah! My favorite Escape theme in the series! I actually adapted it into Music Tiles in a Mario Maker type Game called LevelHead a few years back, good stuff! Really wish they would use this theme more often in the Metroid Series, instead of just using Ridley's theme or some other generic escape theme (Looking at you, Dread XD) This just has an energy that is so unique, a great combo of urgency and heroic victory! As always you are doing it more than justice, this remix is awesome as heck!
The triumphant bit at 1:18 has always screamed 'Kid Icarus' to me. Brother and sister game indeed! Same composer even. Great track as usual, man. Keep it up!
Epic releases would be: 1. "Danger" (boss battle theme) - Secret of Mana. 2. Battle Mode (full loop) - Mario Kart on SNES. 3. Anything from Shadowrun on SNES. Holding out! 🙏🏆
You know, I once thought about this song getting a cover when I first discovered GaMetal, like, two years ago at this point (and with that I feel old Jesus), but I thought that it was just too short of a loop and that you couldn't really do anything with it. Boy, was I wrong. The guitar here is on point, and the usage of the short melody is done really well here, creating a song that's really fun to hum along too! You nailed this one, Jonny, and I can't wait for April Fool's song (Please be His World please be His World please be Anyways, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Pink Ball Activate!

A true classic. Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES Also suggesting New Messiah from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge on the Gameboy Also also suggesting Dancing Dragon Dungeon from Zelda Oracle of Seasons on GBC Also also also suggesting Raiden V - Final Stage Theme/Cystal of Abyss Also also also also suggesting Ivan Ooze's/Final Boss theme - Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers The Movie on SNES
I was pretty excited to see what song you were gonna do when I saw the outline, since I don't play to much of the series, but I gotta say that this goes pretty hard. Good job!
Great song as always. Here's a few suggestions: 1- Final Boss (Fairly Oddparents: Shadow Showdown) 2- Flying Dutchman's Graveyard (SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom) 3- The Downhill Express (Jimmy Neutron: Jet Fusion)
Metroid has a great soundtrack and escape is no different. Still waiting on that full cover of Kraid's Lair which i will be voting for in the upcoming May Madness
Kartikeya komposing for day 431! Kartikeya finally livestreamed again last night! Finally feel less like I've been doing nothing lately. Was trying to stream some of the myriad of Pokemon Rom hacks I got over the panic-demic. Tried one called 'Hyetology' first and the game kept crashing to the point I have put it in my newly appointed 'rom hack jail' which is my old original Nintendo DS travel case. It honestly works quite well for it aesthetically. Then tried 'Mega Power' and this one crashed a few times but once I got my first pokemon, it worked absolutely fine afterwards. Spent 2.5 hours on the DDR mat on it. Though it wasn't all smiles. You remember Luxx? or as I often referred to him by his last name Tallett? Well him and his buddies decided to freaking RAID me during my stream last night and all act none the wiser about it. Maris (one of his 'friends') showing up and acting as if he didn't know that Luxx (whose name had changed to 'timewarptavern' at this point had NOT already contacted me some 6 months ago trying to 'set up business' once again with me but being far more blatant, asking for my physical address this time!
This banging cover might not escape my head for a while. Then again, a cover of Faith Is For The Transient People would probably get stuck there even longer!
Kartikeya finally gets here near debut time on day 430! Kartikeya needs to stream. Tried last night, but set up like 3 different games and all of them had different problems with them. Meaning I couldn't play them properly whether certain inputs not working, or just not having the right controller for them seemingly.
You always deliver on your covers man! Keep it up! I was wondering if I could request "Toxic Waste" from Crash Bandicoot 1? I would love to hear your arrangement of it. Keep rockin' Johnny! 🤘

Zero Mission or Echoes.
Zero Mission's escape doesn't have the triumphant ending because of the fact the game is roughly 2/3rds over by that point.
I was surprised the first time I heard it in NEStroid because I had already beat Zero Mission before it. Seriously weird that it wasn't included in that game.
It was added for the US release and wasn't present in the Famicom version.
I didn't know that, that's an amazing detail
"RUN, B!#$H! RUUUNNNN!"
- Some poor sap trying to escape the death trap that was their base
I've got a song coming up for you on April 1st as always, and I *might* be able to squeeze in another song the day before, but I'm not 100% sure on that, so no end card teaser this till April! 🫡
Lookin forward to it!
I can't wait to see what you'll fool us with come the first of April!
Can't wait to laugh at what you'll fool us with!

Still kinda cool to think how Kid Icarus and Metroid used the same engine, as well.
@@rawkfistgamingeven more so when the themes of the games are about ascending and descending
I always knew that Samus had a rad escape theme before Wario, Peppino, and Anton made escape themes cool. 😎
Samus made escape themes cool. The rest are trying to catch up to her.
Yeah, but Peppino has four. Pizza Time, Lap 2, phase 3 vs the fake, and the crumbling tower.
@@AndrewBlechinger What do you mean "phase 3 vs. the fake"?
@@Rubberman202i'm guessing they mean the Fake Peppino chase section, that song's called "Okay Campers, Rise And Shine!"
You know Metroid came out about 37 years before pizza tower right?
Can we all stop to appreciate the skill involved in taking a loop that's less than 45 seconds and turning it into a banger? I often wonder how Jonny will do it when these tiny clips come up in the Patreon request stream.
You haven't compared his rendition 1942 vs the original, have you?
@@mattdarrock666 Not yet, but I'm about to.
I will put this cover on my headphones every time I'm late to go somewhere and I have to run.
I do that with ‘Its Pizza Time’ from Pizza Tower
Bro just stop time
@@jimmywarner7559 Unfortunately the headphones don't work in stopped time.
It’s not a Metroid game till the planet/space station you’re on begins its self destruct countdown
/Landed mother ship
My first time playing Metroid Zero Mission, I was on an adrenaline high escaping the mothership, very low health. Beat the two elite pirates, and just when I thought I was home free, the pilot in the fighter jumped out and killed me. I was like fml.
When you’re about to wrap up a Hell Dive and that one rando calls in extraction too early
always respect someone who does the full song and not just the famicom/zeromission/prime2 neutered version
Everytime a selfdestruct countdown begings, Samus thinks to herself "Oh screw (attack) you Mother Brain..."
It's time to TIME BOMB SET: GET OUT FAST
Every time I hear an arrangement of this track, I have to pray the part of the track added in the NES version is in, did not disappoint!
0:55 Best part
Get to the Extraction Zone!
Time: 3 minutes
Before there was It’s Pizza Time!
Before there was Collapsing Time Rift.
Before there was Hurry Up!
There was Metroid.
As it All Crumbles Down (Underhero)
Samus: Why does EVERY planet I set foot on end up exploding?

As always you are doing it more than justice, this remix is awesome as heck!
Es-ca-pé. It’s funny, it’s spelled just like the word escape.
This brought back so many memories from Metroid: Zero Mission! Thank you for doing this! I always love your Metroid remixes, Jonny!
The triumphant bit at 1:18 has always screamed 'Kid Icarus' to me. Brother and sister game indeed! Same composer even.
Great track as usual, man. Keep it up!
I first heard this tune in Prime 2 Echoes against Dark Samus.
I honestly think that version is the best official version released.
@@KlyosXA That truly makes you feel a sense of urgency
Easily the best one! The Prime games have incredible music!
That gauntlet of Final Boss>>Escape sequence >>Boss During Escape Sequence is one of the meanest tricks Nintendo's ever pulled 😂
I know and I kinda like it for that reason!
Intense! Listening to this feels every much like playing through trying to escape
I really want to know where all these villains get their planet-busting bombs.
you love to hear it since this song hardly every gets covered or remixed props to jonny for doing it so freaking well!
For a while I had the Metroid Prime 2 version of this song set as my alarm to wake me up. You can probably imagine how well that worked.
Epic releases would be:
1. "Danger" (boss battle theme) - Secret of Mana.
2. Battle Mode (full loop) - Mario Kart on SNES.
3. Anything from Shadowrun on SNES.
Holding out! 🙏🏆
I'm really glad you included that section that seems to be exclusive to the original NES version. This is great! Thanks for putting this together.
I like to think that this is what inspired the mechanics of Wario Land 4.
Same
And it's the same engine as Fusion.
@@ikagura I’m willing to bet, someone somewhere made a joke about WL4’s “Hurry Up!” Playing during a Metroid Escape sequence.
Wario and Metroid are linked in multiple ways. Heck, Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Zero Mission both used Wario Land 4's engine, I believe.
Heh, threw me for a loop seeing Samus escape so early from the NES footage before the transition to the legendary Zero Mission.
Would’ve been really fun if you included the blaring alarms of the Metroid Prime 2/Final Dark Samus version
I wish the chorus from MP2 could have been in there but it's still a great cover!

Man, I dont think I've heard many covers of the escape sequence. Good shit dude! That shirt is amazing too!! 🤘🏼
when i required this song years ago in acoustic, they laughed at me, but hearing in a gametal song now, makes me happy! Good jobb Jonny!!
A true classic.
Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES
Also suggesting New Messiah from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge on the Gameboy
Also also suggesting Dancing Dragon Dungeon from Zelda Oracle of Seasons on GBC
Also also also suggesting Raiden V - Final Stage Theme/Cystal of Abyss
Also also also also suggesting Ivan Ooze's/Final Boss theme - Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers The Movie on SNES
You are my goat sir!
Either the next song is gonna be goofy, or you're lying about that date, Mr. GaMetal, sir.
Wow, a Metroid cover, what a pleasant surprise!! Love your channel, I look forward to keep supporting your work awesome man 🫶
I was pretty excited to see what song you were gonna do when I saw the outline, since I don't play to much of the series, but I gotta say that this goes pretty hard. Good job!
I like how this piece is in the middle between an action and ending theme
good ol' tower climb escapes.
we love trauma.
oh also Valstrax theme would be cool
Great song as always. Here's a few suggestions:
1- Final Boss (Fairly Oddparents: Shadow Showdown)
2- Flying Dutchman's Graveyard (SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom)
3- The Downhill Express (Jimmy Neutron: Jet Fusion)
...we should _probably_ run...
But first requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain okay byeeeee~
Metroid!! Nice work!
I want a full version of that acoustic at the end, that sounds sick as hell
Surely got the feel of an important escape on is simple yet effective job well done ^^
Why is it that every time Samus goes on a mission, the location blows up?
TIME BOMB SET! SHRED AND JAM IMMEDIATELY!
Metroid has a great soundtrack and escape is no different. Still waiting on that full cover of Kraid's Lair which i will be voting for in the upcoming May Madness
Let's go!! More Metroid is always welcome, for some reason I thought this would go the route of the SSB4 remix but I like what you went with more.
When your anxiety is at top level but you're feeling heroic at the same time
ADRENALINE, BABY
I never heard this, but your remix gives good impressions to me that this SLAPPED 👌
Outstanding cover, as always!
Probably my favorite version of the Escape theme from Metroid.
This is beautiful art
God, this is so good! Continue to wow us, dude!
This is the one I was hoping for when we saw it was NES Metroid. I'm sure everyone was expecting Kraid's Lair, but I'm glad we got this instead.
I would love to hear a full cover of Metroid music from this man and I believe it would the greatest thing ever

This rendition is making my heart beat as fast as the first time i beat Metroid...
This song makes me salivate, just so you know :-)
This banging cover might not escape my head for a while. Then again, a cover of Faith Is For The Transient People would probably get stuck there even longer!
Reminder that it also plays in Metroid Prime 2 during the final fight against Dark Samus
Yesssss! You kept the NES exclusive part.
Crushing it as always Jonny!
about 5 1/2 minutes, that's how long you have until this planet explodes.
A fun one for us here, very interested to see what you've got planned...
Good choice good choice
No escaping bangers from this game nor this channel
MUSIC BOMB SET

Perfection 💯
That final escape sequence is more harder than the final boss in OG Metroid
This is the song and phrase that plays ten minutes after you ate a microwave gas station bean burrito at 3AM.

Awesome!
Great! I'm still waiting for the NES Rygar GaMetal version. Success!!
The one cover I now want is Port town (F-Zero)
Always great to listen to some Metroid remixes like this.
