I had previously thought that I only completed it once, but my Metroid Prime Trilogy save file shows I also got through it on Veteran. So, this one will be on Hypermode difficulty. I also turned off hints.</p>
Scribblemacher<p>I was going to play Metroid Pinball as my next <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a> game for <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/VGCMay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGCMay2025</span></a> partly to be cheeky. I played a few rounds of it and I absolutely hate it. It's also hard as hell and I don't like <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/pinball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pinball</span></a>. So my next will be Metroid Prime Hunters!</p>
Rémi du Nord<p>Made some progress in Metroid Prime. Just beat Thardus and got rewarded with what I think is the only humoristic moment in the entire Metroid series. For whatever it's worth.</p><p><a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/VideoGameClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGameClub</span></a> <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/VGCMay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGCMay2025</span></a> <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a> <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/NintendoSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoSwitch</span></a> <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a></p>
IrgndSonDepp<p>And I'm done. All Metroids are dead.<br>.<br>.<br>.<br>All Metroids? 🤔</p><p>Well, I guess the last one is in captivity and the galaxy is at peace. 😅</p><p>2:29h isn't too bad. That got me all RetroAchievements except one: I somehow missed 5 Missile Containers.</p><p>I also did bomb the Metroid Queen's stomach for the first time. It's a pretty dangerous tactic, but it speeds up the fight drastically. I still don't understand why I sometimes got stuck in its mouth though. 🤔</p><p><a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a> <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/vgcmay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGCMay2025</span></a> <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/videogameclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGameClub</span></a></p>

IrgndSonDepp<p>Still having fun with <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a> II - Samus' Return on the GameBoy. I'm now down to 3 Metroids and I've put down 2 Omega Metroids already. Surprisingly, I find them easier than the smaller evulation that comes before. The bigger Omegas stay put for longer, so you can hit them a few times with missiles, before they move. The smaller ones keep flying around the screen, so I ended up DPS racing them.</p><p>I love the soundtrack in the game. I like to think that Samus has a Walkman built into her power suit and the music we're hearing is diagetic, because she puts it on herself.</p><p>"Oh, it's just a tunnel going deeper into the planet. Let's put on <em>I'm just chillin'</em>." (Seriously, the title fits the music perfectly. Just try and sing it along.)</p><p>"Ooooh. This looks bad. Let's put on some creepy music."</p><p>"Nah, nevermind. <em>I'm just chillin'</em> it is."</p><p>"Gotta concentrate for a bit here."</p><p><strong>click</strong></p><p><em>tappa-tappa-footsteps</em></p><p>"Okay, back to <em>I'm just chillin'</em>." 😁</p><p><a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/videogameclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGameClub</span></a> <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/vgcmay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGCMay2025</span></a></p>
IrgndSonDepp<p>I lost all my progress in <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a> Zero Mission. 😢</p><p>I wanted to connect my headphones to the Vita and had to open the <em>Settings</em> app for that. I specifically waited for a save point and then opened the settings, killing RetroArch. I didn't remember that RetroArch needs to close ROMs cleanly to create a proper savegame. 😬</p><p>Well, I had just beaten Mother Brain and was in the post game sneak section anyway. I've never beaten the game before, but I've only heard bad things about the tacked on stealth section, so I'm not gonna play through all that again.</p><p>Instead I started the original Metroid II for the Gameboy. I did play it before, a few months ago, for maybe an hour, got discouraged because I lost 10 minutes of progress and turned it off forever. It's good. I mean it is <strong>as good</strong> as I remember it being from when I played it as a kid.</p><p>But I was super surprised to see that there's so much equipment you can miss in it. 😬 I only found the Varia Suit, High Jump Boots, Wave Beam and Morph Ball Jump <strong>after</strong> I had already taken out all the Metroids in area 3 (?).</p><p>I've just finished the area immediately after that and am down to 17 Metroids. I've also collected the Spazer and Plasma Beams in the meantime. Did I do it in the wrong order or is Plasma really just such a harsh downgrade after the wide Spazer and Wave Beams? 😩</p><p><a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/vgcmay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGCMay2025</span></a> <a href="https://gts.da-miez.de/tags/videogameclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGameClub</span></a></p>

Scribblemacher<p>This is my favourite map of <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a>. It shows the byte used to represent each room. The way tiles, objects, and rooms all fit together to make Zebes is quite beautiful.</p><p>Here is the source and explanation for how it works. I remember playing Metroid when the "secret worlds" were still novel and being discovered. Even though they are just glitches, I still like thinking that Zebes is so mysterious that even its own programmers couldn't control it. <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/NEStroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NEStroid</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/VGCMay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGCMay2025</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://metroiddatabase.com/old_site/m1/lvldata.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">metroiddatabase.com/old_site/m</span><span class="invisible">1/lvldata.php</span></a></p>

Distant Meadows<p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/TreasureTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TreasureTuesday</span></a>: In Super Metroid, director Yoshio Sakamoto frames Samus Aran’s search for the last Metroid as a dark, melancholic, and grotesque descent into an otherworldly ecosystem that seems to reject the player like an intruder. Game designer Felix says: No 2D Metroidvania has ever made better use of the then newly defined genre’s strengths.

GamingWolf<p>Unofficial Metroid things to try if you want to go down the path of awesome.</p><p>Metroid Planets</p><p>A polished up interpretation of the original with QOL stuff and you can generate new planets with the help of a number of handmade rooms that can be sorted randomly. Choose them wisely.</p><p>AM2R</p><p>A fangame infamously taken down before Nintendo's reveal of the remake of Metroid 2 for the 3DS. Oh but it's good, I promise.</p><p>Hyper Metroid: Super</p><p>A polished up a version of a well-known Super Metroid romhack that I can now recommend whole-heartedly. I would compare it to Return to Dinosaur Land (Super Mario World) and Super Mario Star Road (Super Mario 64) as a mod to wade your toes in before you try a deluge of others. Naturally they're not going to be easier but they're not balls to the walls difficult so give it a shot if you've mastered for Super Metroid and are hungry for a new experience.</p><p>Extra credit if you're in a book club that is instead video games.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Maytroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maytroid</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Metroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroid</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Metroidvania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Metroidvania</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/VGCMay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VGCMay2025</span></a></p>
