Dude, don't even get me started. I did grew up in this game and I was too young to realize it back then, but my god did the its ending made me start tearing up in a recent playthrough. All while spamming mother fuckin' brain some hype beams.
God, why'd they have to make the hatchling's character arch so heart wrenching!? We were supposed to hate these things, then they pulled a bait and switch! 😭
I know it's a Metroid and it only imprinted itself on Samus because it didn't know better, but there's something just so cruel about abducting a baby after it was given away by its 'mother' and then being experimented upon to be used as a weapon.
And that's what leaves me confused......... Samus clearly had a emotional attachment to the baby Metroid, which is shown in Other M (IDC if any of you consider it non-canon out of hate, IK it had A LOT of bad points in it but Nintendo decided its canon so it's canon just like the Zelda timeline, sorry we can't deny its canonicity), yet she gave it to the researchers without thinking of what might they do to the baby for experimentation? It's common knowledge that animals are bisected for research and other weird stuff is done to them For science. Also correction: Samus thought the scientists are going to research on its energy production capabilities, but who knows what they *actually* planned to research on? But whatever their intentions be Samus was thinking it was for research for development of new energy resources.
It doesn't realize that it was attacking it's "mother", Samus till it hears the beeping...poor thing :( It probably started to mentally bash itself after this.
@@thorneto2742 I doubt it heard the sound. Some people interpreted it that way, but I got the impression that it realized that it was attacking Samus on its own at just the right time. People overthink everything in the Metroid universe though. :p
@@jballs5434 I mean, seeing that the sound is also heard in the space station, and it stops only when the sound starts playing again, it really seems plausible it recognized her because of the sound
its crazy but imagine if that super metroid actually evolved into an omega metroid that shit would be enormous i wonder why it stayed in its first stage
+chahalele The reason the Baby didn't become an Omgea is simple, Metroids only evolved in their natural habitat, Planet SR388. Zebes environment is completely different than SR388's.
I love this scene. You literally wonder how you're going to get out of this mess as the giant baby Metroid quickly sucks your life away...but at the very last possible moment, it stops, and probably would say: "Oh, hi Mommy! I didn't recognize you for a moment there. I was so hungry."
How I think the Metroid felt after almost killing Samus: *It realized the mistake it made* *Gasp* M-mommy...? Oh no....I...I...I almost... *Chirps of sadness* *Last 3 chirps before it leaves* I'm sorry....IM SORRY...IM SORRY! 😭
Fun Fact: If you hack the right door in the Baby Metroid room so that it isn't locked, this encounter happens every time you enter the room from that door.
Does anybody else hear the words:"I am sorry" and "mother" in baby metroid's cires? Literally. Like:" Mother? I am sorry *starts crying* I am sorry I am sorry I am sorry"
I always imagine it, it really hurts though. Just imagine yourself experimented on to be a killing machine then you realize you almost kill the one you love and care the most... It’s pretty heartbreaking
Something interesting here is that it shows that metroid aren't inherently evil. The chozo invented them to protect the galaxy from a major threat and thought of the metroid as their children. They even planned for the metroid and Samus to take over as the protectors of the galaxy when the chozo race dies out. The metroid we see throughout the series have either been weaponized under the space pirates, or were left in the wild with no teaching to control their life-sucking urges. But with the baby we see more or less what the chozo envisioned for the metroid. A loving species that would do what is necessary to protect it
thats the thing, theyre not evil, theyre pretty much wild animals (except they were artificially created but thats irrelevant for the point) but theyre FAR more deadlier then your average wild animal even for intergalactic standarts. not only that, it would be one thing if they were only roaming around SR388 extinguishing the X parasites and may or may not overrun the whole planet ecosystem (the X was gonna do that anyway too so...) but the space pirates were trying to wepaonize them and possibly spread them across the galaxy. i think extinguishing the metroid was a bit of an exagerated decidion though, wouldnt eliminating the space pirates and others that tried use them as weapons be a better solution? no? ok i guess.
@@unkindled6410 You’re quite right about the Metroid. Eliminating the Space Pirates would’ve been a better solution. But I imagine that the higher-ups in the Galactic Federation or whatever Samus works for would’ve wanted the Metroids exterminated anyway because, like all arrogant self-righteous military pricks, they see anything that’s not human as an abomination that should be destroyed.
@@DamontheDemon7 likely either because space pirates are crafty to hide and almost impossible to hunt down all of them or likely the Galactic Federation are corrupted as like in One Piece, some space pirates are working with the federation as those pirates have judicial and diplomatic immunity.
But why would the Chozo breed Metroids to attack the Mawkin tribe and view them as enemies? Clearly, they were meant to be a deterrent for more than one thing, not just the X.
Here how I acted when I got to this part. Enters a room full of dust. "What the hell happen here? Go's to the other room. "Will at least it's something's that's still alive. Go's to the last room and see's one alive. "Why I can't go any further? I have to kill this thing?. The Super Metroid attack the alien animal. "What the hell!? Why this metroid bigger then the others? Matter of fact I bet I can still froze it and kill it with missile. Shooting the super metroid with freeze beam. "What the? Its not doing nothing. Gets Super Metroid latched. "How the!? My health is being drop like rock in the water!? Super metroid stop health at 01. "What....it stop?why? Hearing the familiar chirping that sounds like its saying mommy. "That's the hatchling it got bigger some how. See's the super metroid floating away. " it probably felt guilty for what is almost done to samus. That's my reaction when I first got to the area.
I too was surprised at that moment. I tried to shot at it and use morph bombs to escape. That thing looked like a boss. It's sad that it died during its redemption.
Man, that Metroid could probably take on a Gamma if Im being honest. Just imagine how much power would the baby have if it got back to SR388 and turned into an Alpha
@@vulcanraven9701 Considering on how a Queen can cause planetary quakes in Metroid II Return of Samus, I'd imagine this Metroid to make the Planet crumble if she really wants it once she gets to Queen form
@@alexgarnica8498 Definitely. Overall, the species of Metroid are the most badass in the series, hopefully they bring back Metroids in future games. They are the name of the series, after all
This happened in the Metroid Samus Returns for 3DS when you encounter the regular Metroids (but they do not stop unlike this Super Baby Metroid (the new Metroid evolutions are awesome)?
Luis E Morales Falcon This Metroid in particular (“Baby”) is mentally imprinted and considers Samus its Mother. It was originally the last of its kind, and Samus surprisingly spared it and raised it. Its sacrifice to save Samus at the end of this game is implied to have traumatized Samus, and the exact, distinctive cry sound is enhanced and reused in games following this one whenever metroids reappear (usually because space pirates or human scientists cloned and defiled her Baby).
I still don't get how it got so big so quickly. I mean, I would have thought that the other Metroids in this section of the game would probably have been around here longer than the baby, which Ridley arrived with only several hours ago. And it's already the biggest one you meet. Unless it's been sucking the life force out of creatures at an alarming rate and that makes it bigger. And I mean "ALARMING", if it's already this size and there aren't others the same size.
They dont sare remake super metroid for the same reason they dont remake ffvi, or other games of these magnitudes because they risk losing the entire fanbase if they fail to capture the feel of the originals. Particularly ffvi nobody would like that mutated into the current BS it degraded into after enix
@@solouno2280 No they're not viruses but made to kill a dangerous virus by none other than the people who raised Samus. Go search up a bit or play Metroid fusion, you will get it then.
Keith David it did. But at the very last second. Which is why you see it go away. I wana say it feels "shame" for almost killing samus? But i dont know if thats the right way to put it.
It remembered Samus because of the low energy "sirens" that go off. The baby Metroid heard them at the beginning of the game when Samus was trying to get the baby from Ridley.
The amount of emotion this scene can provide without any sort of dialogue is still remarkable.

Dread and Samus Returns do an amazing job of this too. All proves that Other M was doing it wrong.
I like how the boss theme starts, and then suddenly stops as the Metroid realises who it’s attacking.
Yeah, those game designers playing with our hearts.
Invation
It only realizes because of the low health alarm! Because the metroid heard that alarm while it was being kidnapped!
the baby
Aw its ashamed, He didn't know.
Evan Bernardi that's what happens to someone when they haven't seen their momma in a long time.

Two cutscenes?? 🤨
Me during this scene: Thanks for putting me on 1 hp man. 🙄
Me at final boss: METROID NOOOO 😭😭😭
moments like these are why i love this game and the metroid series
it's like a pseudo horror game
I'm still sad to this day.
I can only dread imagining this metroid as an omega or a queen
The baby really is a Super Metroid. Can't be frozen, Samus can't use bombs to detach from it, power bombs don't work, she can't kill it.
