When Samus Returns was announced I wished for it to have a new Serris boss battle (considering its specie was native to SR388) or escape sequence with Serris also moving from and to the foreground, it would have been amazing with the 3D effect of the 3DS, but we didn't get it and now I'm discovering that we almost fot it in Fusion itself, so cool!
Hey biospark; I want to thank you for developing MAGE. Simply put, it is awesome. Wow, that’s a lot of unused animations. The “scientist to space pirate” animation is really interesting …
Honestly couldn't play this game as a young child. The SA-X gave me nightmares. Had to get my cousin to get past the SA-X during the chase sequence. Good times. The Serris sprites are most interesting because during the actual boss fight, Serris was too bright and fast for me to discern any characteristics or details about it. I honestly love the color scheme. Cobalt blue tones with light reflecting off the scales. Almost like fish scales considering Serris is technically an aquatic creature.
Yo Biospark, fantastic video bro. Someone NEEDS to show this video to Metaquarius so he can incorporate some of these new enemies or attacks to so we can get the most potential out of each of these sprites in Metroid X-Fusion. I love this game to death and I really want romhacks of these games to thrive. Thanks for proving content for this game Biospark its a breath of fresh air to find out new stuff for this game.
Apart from what you had already shown in other videos of the deleted content, it was not surprising about Serris, that can say that the boss would have much more mobility.
Serris' unused sprites were so cool! I wonder if it would have jumped from background to foreground, or even risen out of the water like a classic sea serpent, because those unused head and body segments seem to suggest it might've swiveled its head around to look at you.

Also the Scientist morphing into a zebesian is really interesting for various reasons. Firstly, we neven saw that color scheme to a Zebesian in Fusion, so it was probably an indication of it being at least some kind of mini-boss that was needed to fight during that timed sequence, and secondly because we already knew about another unused sprite for the scientist that depicted it dying in his human form after Samus shot him. The development of that boss battle is even more interesting that we thought.
It's a pleasure to see such well-made content about this game, how do you datamine all these files ? I'm especially asking about softwares and os. Thanks in advance
I wrote a script to find all the addresses, then coded a custom sprite that cycles through all the animations. I used the Bizhawk emulator for recording and wrote a lua script to handle the descriptions
My highlights here are probably the unused enemies,the Scientist and Serris. (I realize now for the first time that you can actually see Serris brain! I never saw that because he always moves so fast)
At 6:34, this basically confirms that some of the unused stuff belongs to the beta version: web.archive.org/web/20120921020252im_/pocketmedia.ign.com/pocket/image/metroid_e3day1_3.jpg
Someone should make a romhack of Fusion that incorporates all the unused stuff, like Skrees in TRO for example. Also, did you change your pfp? It's been the same for so long that I got confused.
Wonder if scisers were going to be able to grab/throw Samus, something of that nature. Maybe Genesises (Genesi?) were originally planned to be more aggressive instead of passive/trapped between walls. Maybe just weren't interesting in testing... or some kind of issue/limited time that led to the small role they had in the final game.
@@Guts_Brando it's good but there are some issues with the level design, music, certain plot points, something that seems fan fiction (to not spoil) and there are two things that were straight up ignored. Also there's the fact that Nintendo had to cut half the bosses + its animations and some items to avoid crunch since MercurySteam mismanaged and ended up overscoping despite having 4 years of development.
I really appreciate the hard work you do documenting this game. Do you know of any good learning sources for learning reverse engineering. I am a programmer interested in reverse engineering, so any articles, books or webpages you could point me to for learning resources would help a lot.
I guess Serris would have moved in the background and charged at the camera? Would have conveyed alot more depth in the environment where the battle would have taken place
Hey, I’ve found about MAGE in Metroid Construction… I’ve got a question Can I use it with Wine on MacOS 10.13? I don’t know if you can answer to this question, but I have another one: Can you do a MAGE tutorial series? Sorry for copying and pasting from another video
Hello biospark, on the cover of your channel you have the background of a boss in MetroidFusión, Nightmare. So, I wanted to know where you got it, because I want the bottom of Sector 4, underwater. Thanks. i am using google translator.
Love that everyone in the Metroid community is being revitalized because of Dread.
I really thought this had something to do with metroid fusion randomizer just released hours ago, but yeah
@@akumagath1752 got any info on that? I had a quick google but can't find much

Oh god Serris turning towards the camera... that would've been scary and very cool.

"you think you're safe from me"
@@mds_516 Samus Returns, you had one job.
Thanks so much AM2R
that and having its in the water part of the room so you can't snipe it easily
For an enemy that appears like, twice, ever, they sure had a hard time deciding what they wanted to do with Halzyns
BIOSPARK ISN'T DEAD. HUZZAH
They will be DREAD though.
I know it was bad...
IKR!!!!
Yes he is
imagine if the halzyn had those drill wings and it came charging at samus that would be so fucking cool

Fucking same
Super cool how the atmospheric stabilizer has a gamecube and CRT in it. Nice little easter egg
I was literally checking out this channel yesterday and now there’s an upload after a year lol, nice!
Biospark has returned!!!
It's a bit sad how Skree were almost fully coded and mostly functional ingame, yet they didn't make the cut.
That Serris face tho
It's time to see what surprise a classic brings us.
Sus
Great video, looks like the Halzyn was going to have a ground attack where it would shoot off sideways to attempt to attack Samus.
Hi my friend he should help x fusion
Can't wait for your upload next year.
Or hope you'll play Metroid Dread!

Amazing! I wonder if Serris was meant to be seen zooming around in the background before attacking Samus.
Thank you for continuing to dig deeper and deeper into Fusion, Spark.
wow the halzyn is such a well built out design
so much unused stuff
also the owo one lmao
New video! Yeah!!! I’m extra interested in fusion since the advent of dread. 😉

@@biospark did you use Lua for all of it?
I sense a new video coming by you soon! Hope to hear from ya, we all miss you!
Thanks for your service as always
kago insect staring at you is about the scariest shit since SA-X looking at you for the first time
My highlights here are probably the unused enemies,the Scientist and Serris. (I realize now for the first time that you can actually see Serris brain! I never saw that because he always moves so fast)
I was watching the Metroid Fusion - Glitches and Tricks Compilation earlier. LET'S GO METROID 5!!!
4:23 you can see a GameCube and a tv in the bottom right
I can't imagine the potential of a perfect rom hack
i mean, metaquarius is kinda killing it with metroid x fusion
@@huashohan7197 oh yes, but that project is developing for so long that I have no idea if it will be released
@@fpiz_7333 didnt he say he was aiming for a 2022 release date? or at least thats what he said on the discord
Return of a King
A biospark video in 2021? Yes please

I wish Mini Serris was in the game
holy he is still alive YES
I can't believe there is still unused stuff to show us in Fusion
And there might still be more!
@@biospark Wow, the game that keeps on giving. What will you do when there is nothing left unknown in Fusion?
Someone should make a romhack of Fusion that incorporates all the unused stuff, like Skrees in TRO for example. Also, did you change your pfp? It's been the same for so long that I got confused.
Wonder if scisers were going to be able to grab/throw Samus, something of that nature.
Maybe Genesises (Genesi?) were originally planned to be more aggressive instead of passive/trapped between walls. Maybe just weren't interesting in testing... or some kind of issue/limited time that led to the small role they had in the final game.
Omg, this guy is alive.
Thoughts on dread? In an alternate universe there is a metroid dread in fusion style graphics
and probably much better than what we got.
@@DruidVorse why the hate bruh
@@Guts_Brando what hate? Its the truth lmao

1:16 halzyn got the spirit fingers
btw, the zombie does have a reforming animation in game, idk if the one here is different from that one
Correct, the one here is a bit different
Are you ok?
Very good
Any chance of a modder hacking in those animations? Ill like to see serris in action with those animations
Can you make a video/playlist of shaving seconds/speed running techniques for Metroid fusion?
Biosparks annual upload.
I love Mini Serris.
same
I guess Serris would have moved in the background and charged at the camera? Would have conveyed alot more depth in the environment where the battle would have taken place
I think it's just part of a turning animation. Several enemies have a frame where they face the camera when turning
It would be cool if someone makes a game using these sprites
"Unused head"? More like old version of that metroid dread boss we saw.
10:06 ohhh man... :(
Goddamn, I want to see some of those enemies in Dread.
Biosparks' back, baby!!!!!!!!! But in all seriousness, impressive stuff. I never knew MF had _that_ many unused animations!
you gotta make more videos man!!
Can you upload transparent gifs of the kago insect? Idk why but it really grabbed my attention
He's back
The man, the myth, the legend
That Halzyn looks cute af.
NEW BIOSPARK VIDEO!!!!
hey biospark i have been thinking i want to do a tas video on metroid fusion how would i do that?
Hey, I’ve found about MAGE in Metroid Construction…
I’ve got a question
Can I use it with Wine on MacOS 10.13?
I don’t know if you can answer to this question, but I have another one:
Can you do a MAGE tutorial series?
Sorry for copying and pasting from another video
Did you check the prototypes for unused stuff?
I'm waiting for your videos on Metroid Dread
You play dread yet?
Hey Biospark, a bit off topic but I have a question. Do you prefer the original gameboy advance or the SP edition?
I man, what gamepad are you using?

I'm also making a Metroid Fusion video, can I use part of this video?
Sure
@@biospark Thanks you!!!
The SA-X never shoots up or down, but can't you still shoot up or down, once you obtain the ice beam?
Yes, but Samus's beam graphics are handled separately from enemy graphics

YO BIOSPARK MAKE A VIDEO ON THE NEW METROID FUSION RANDOMIZER!
You don’t have to yell at him 😂
@@Tyler-gv6zf you right bro I'm just excited to see him upload 😂😂
