there is nothing fun about super metroid

>>722527416
like every part of Super Metroid is "that part"

Zooooooom

it's an annoying row but on replays you can be very "get in, get out" in maridia

you only gotta go through it once and why the fuck dont you have gravity suit

I might be autistic but super metroid was one of those games I played back in the day where I would just go around looking at the sprites and colors and stuff.

I would literally inspect every block of every section of the world

>remember from a metroidvania thread that I never finished Environmental Station Alpha
>start over from the beginning, having a good time
>turn the backup generator back on
I immediately remembered why I never finished it

>>722528262
I mean, if you were a Metroid fan back in the day then going from Samus Returns to this probably blew your fucking balls off. The original version of 2 didn't even have color.

>>722528394
I never played 2, but I played alot of other nintendo games on NES,GBC

>>722528262
That's how you're supposed to play it

>>722527416
>remember that part
The movement?

No ones fault but yours retard

95% of Silksong, unfortunately.

what the fuck happened that gen

>>722527901
For some reason I always forget where to go in maridia.
>>722530086
I love how that section filters modern gamers coz they can't do the wall jump with their shitty 8bitdo d-pads and crap modern TV's riddled with input lag.

>>722530086
It took me years to realise the chimping noise they make when you first discover them, is them singing the regular "item collection jingle" tune.

same.

I have to use pure muscle memory to end up in the right place or else the long ass elevator with the sponge area fucks me up

Repro controllers are a waste of money. I can do the jump with a PS5 controller.

>>722534575
You can do it on any controller with a dpad better than the Gamecube

>>722530086
I never found these fuckers
I did find the bird that teaches you the superjump though

I picked up an xbone controller on sale a few years ago just for emulation. It's been swell.

>>722534735
You have to go back to the super bomb floor that you run into near the beginning of the game and forget about.

>>722533478
>shitty 8bitdo d-pads
I've torn those things apart before, 8bitdo SN30 Pro and Pro 2 d-pads are borderline identical to SNES d-pads

bottom of the first shaft of brinstar, where old kraid used to be
it's one of the few parts of the game that feels vestigial

>then going to super metroid on the giganigga 40"-something sharp tv on the living room
holy fuck

>>722533478
It's people failing to grasp that you don't press the jump and direction input at the same time.

Where is my precious son Sporespawn?

This series has literally one good game and it happens to be one of the best ever made lol

the OG SNES-30 had faulty/oversized contacts making accidental diagonal inputs

goated game, turned into a genre by uncreative indie troons who don't even understand basics like jump physics in 2025

metroidvania makes no sense as a genre and only gets pushed by pseuds. it's a formula that's amazing once and then every second time is just a derivative chore

>>722537139
wow this webm sure seems unbiased and the creator didn't have a chip on his shoulder in the slightest

>>722533478
>can't do the wall jump
It was difficult to me, even in the original SNES hardware.
I don't think I have ever rescued those aliens.
I've never also tried that super weird special move you can see in the demo.

>Bleak Faith: Forsaken
Extended mandatory underwater horror segment with massive sea serpents..
>Northern Journey
Mandatory underwater horror segment with a couple other small underwater segments.
>Abiotic Factor
Mandatory for progression underwater segment with giant insta-kill fish.

Its like every indie dev on the planet goes out of their way to add some fucking gimmick level where some giant fish insta kills you in water you cant see more then 5 feet in.

bullshit.
i decompiled the super metroid SPC-700 sound driver ages ago, and still have my notes. i could prove this... (pic related is near the top of the decompile)
if i recall correctly, all enemy sound effects are loaded when the game boots up and never unloaded. the item jingle would also be loaded since it is used all over the place. only the bgm score and samples are swapped out.
