Creepy Time Limits # 13 - Metroid

The thirteenth episode
The Metroid series, perhaps THE quintessential Creepy Time Limits series; everywhere Samus goes, thing are liable to explode eventually. And yet, until now, I had never covered any of the game in these videos.
The reason was because I was actually intimidated by the sheer quantity of timed escapes in total across all the games! I honestly had no idea where to start... but today, that ends.
Featured this time is all of the timed sections from all of the 2D mainline Metroid titles, starting with Metroid 1 and ending with Metroid Dread. Rather than viewing this as one long video, think of it as lots of short ones combined.
The 3D games will be featured in a future video, probably.
Intro: 0:00
Metroid: 0:56
Super Metroid: 7:53
Metroid Fusion: 21:10
Metroid: Zero Mission: 35:27
Metroid Dread: 44:12
Time limits. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. I like to take my time when playing video games, enjoying the experience at my own pace. But the moment I'm told that I'm going to be working against a timer, I can't help panicking. I'm thrown out of my comfort zone, and even the easiest tasks become tough to accomplish. Sure, it's good to be thrown out of a loop from time to time, and there's nothing wrong with a variety of challenges, but I always want the scary timer section cleared as soon as possible and move onto something else a little tense. In this series, I take a look at timer sequences in games that got to me the most.
NOTE: In cases where bad endings and scary timers overlap, (Example: Bad ending requires a timer to run out) Creepy Bad Endings will win out, and the video will be a CBE video.

Something interesting is that you could say not saving the animals in Super Metroid would cause an unseen bad ending in Metroid Fusion. The animals were the ones piloting Samus' ship to save her at the end of Fusion, but in a timeline where Samus left them on Zebes during Super Metroid, that means even if she makes it to the end of Fusion, killing the Omega Metroid, there won't be anyone to help her get off the research station. She would die in the explosion with no way out, a guranteed bad ending influenced by her actions in one game before. Of course that's an impossibility since Fusion automatically assumes Samus did take the time to save them in Super and the concept of multi-game spanning bad endings is absurd, but it's still interesting to think about.

Samus is the life of the party as soon as she shows up, then the death of it 3 minutes later.

[@Igorcastrochucre]

22:52 Well, the SA-X probably was getting desperate, it tried to exploit Samus' weakness to ice in Sector 5, but she conquered it and even got to weaponize ice. So I can believe it was smart enough to realize the meltdown would do significant damage to Samus, but stupid enough to not realize that it could cascade in the destruction of the entire station.

[@neobullseye1]

The game itself outright says what the plan was. The X parasites were trying to kill Samus at any cost, including self-sacrifice by blowing up the entire station, in an attempt to protect the species back on the planet surface. This same self-sacrifice to protect the species shows up in other places too, such as the blue "icy" X-parasites suicide bombing into you before you have the Varia Suit. It kills them, yes, but if Samus dies too, that's a net win for the X-Parasites as a whole.

[@meloelebi1996]

@@neobullseye1 A combination of the two implications that really make the X-parasites too dangerous, they appear to be a hive mind and they're smart enough to learn strategy.

7:24 Technically true, but the Samus Returns has the Diggernaut escape sequence, which has all the tension of the explosion ones across the series, and is probably one of the more difficult ones; not being in an overpowered state, or having a clear path being good reasons.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Between this and the 3D games the joke goes that Samus has destroyed more worlds and space stations than the Space PIrates... even if it's not her fault. Earlier, the BSL boiler explosion would have destroyed the station and Samus, not the X-infested planet. Sending the station on a course into the planet destroys both. Although it would have been interesting if you could get a Creepy Bad Ending by running back to your ship first, leaving the station destroyed and no means to purge the planet. The other Metroid 2 remake, AM2R, does have a kind of self-destruct sequence that plays with your expectations. Then there's Super Metroid Redesign with a difficult 25-minute escape sequence and a good lesson on why a difficult 25-minute escape sequence is a bad idea.

[@twotonedearly]

Hyper Metroid had a brutal escape sequence which forces Samus to go through Tourian, Norfair, Crateria, Brinstar, and back to Crateria again to escape.

[@JoelHernandez-tz3vk]

Ah redesign. I loved it... Until I reached Norfair. I don't think I CAN describe how much of a difficulty spike it is... But it's more or less like going from Super Mario World to Kaizo Mario World just from one level to the next. Suffices to say playing this as my very first Super Metroid ROM Hack was... Probably my stupidest idea in gaming ever. Both the Hyper Metroid and Ascent I played afterward were orders of magnitude easier. As for Hyper Metroid, well I somehow escaped on first try... With 8 seconds to spare.

[@SpongesonicPictures]

Something of note is that the time you have in the Zero Mission countdowns is dependant on the difficulty you choose. So on Hard, you have 1 minute to escape Tourian, and (I believe) 3 minutes to escape Chozodia. So that shortcut really *is* a necessity on Hard. Also, I agree with you when you say Zebes is the only planet we should really feel bad for blowing up. SR388 and ZDR are dead planets thanks to the X Parasites, and Dark Aether and Phaaze are objectively evil planets. Zebes is the only one that feels alive when it gets destroyed. As for my personal favorite countdowns from the series, Super's is the most emotionally resonant for me, Fusion's feels the most action-packed... but Dread's is the one that scares me the most, and that's *solely* due to the fact that beeping speeds up as the timer counts down. That shit puts me on edge.

[@thecheezemann]

Fitting how Dread’s the scariest one, what with it being called, well..Dread.

[@dmansuperich2800]

46:50 Cool thing is that right at this part you can charge a shinespark and spark up to the top instead of space jumping. The game even changes the camera angle and it looks pretty awesome.

[@HMZeroTwo]

What better game to talk about time limits than Metroid?

[@PrecursorIdeliron]

In regards to Fusion and the Main Boiler, the computer (Adam) assumes that they wanted to blow you up along with the station since they saw you (Samus) as a threat to the entire species. This apparently comes from them taking in humans and having to cope with higher level intelligence. Jelly Babies wanna blow it all up to save Jelly Baby Planet!

[@GarryDumblowski]

If you want a slightly more intense experience with the escape sequences, Hard Mode in Zero Mission cuts the time limits you have for each escape down to 1 minute and 3 minutes respectively.

[@edsddsdsds4719]

Im currently doing a 100% hard mode rn. I dont think i will get past mecha ridley because his health triples during 100% (Edit: I just cheked the wiki and they say his attack power doubles too..

[@jollykirby2138]

the explosion of the bsl crashing into sr388 would have killed every x parasite known to exist. the boiler explosion would have still kept them alive, but it would have taken you out of the picture. no samus, no risk of complete and total loss of the x parasite hivemind.

[@Dukstless]

30:41 - There are parasites on the planet as well. Samus's plan was to nuke the station but Adam points out this won't get rid of those on the planet's surface. 42:04 - There's a similar thing in the Super Metroid escape sequence, IIRC. Also fun fact: You can actually escape the reverse way in Zero Mission, assuming the game fucks up and doesn't spawn the gate. For a human it's doable only on Easy (3 minutes), but it's been proven that perfect play can just barely do it on Normal (2 minutes), with about five seconds left.

[@LucasRCD]

It's either 255 shots or 128, unless I'm mistaken. All it does is make Ridley briefly drop the Metroid larva only for him to pick it up again moments later, then the scene plays out the same.

[@jemuzuthestrangebear]

I mean it would explain why git remembers his brother having 64 health left at that point

[@scottcameron3030]

@@LucasRCD Exactly 100 shots

[@CarbonRollerCaco]

@@LucasRCD Still cool that it's possible. Basically, it's like Ridley was always going to blow up the colony after getting the Metroid larva because he knew you'd come and he himself hadn't yet returned to full power so neither of you can really win a straight fight, but he has to stop you from knowing too much about Metroids and help Mother Brain anyway. So he books and sets off the colony when either one of you gets too weak to fight to prevent dragging things out. Storytelling through gameplay FTW.

[@brandonthekalamari]

When it comes to some various games, Time is crucial.

[@rcblazer]

In Super Metroid's opening sequence, shooting Ridley 100 times makes him drop the Metroid, then quickly fly down and catch it again before it hits the floor, then he flies off, so it is technically possible to "beat" Ridley without losing most of your health. Also good to see you cover Metroid Samus and how OP she is outside of a Most Powerful Characters Ever video.

One thing nobody ever mentions from Super Metroid is that turtle and it's family in Maridia. That's one innocent animal who didn't get rescued :( Sure it can damage you, but only because it was protecting is babies.

Oh that dread ending, the parasite maybe reconstructed as the chozo, with his memory, may have honored it especially since the parasite itself doesn't really have anywhere else to go or anything.

[@guywholikesorialot1246]

If I had to say, it's a pretty good comparison of Silent Robe vs Raven Beak. Also pretty fucking weird lore-wise. They're both infected with x parasites. One turns into a huge monster because he was evil and had no compassion for anyone, even his own daughter. The other staid roughly themselves because they did care about Samus. Silent Robe was different than Raven Beak; even going as far as to help Samus despite knowing he would probably die. Was it the X parasite that willingly chose to do it? Was it Silent Robe's compassion that made the x parasite sacrifice itself? Was it a mutual nature thing, 'you and i will not survive, so i shall sacrifice myself so you can survive'? The x parasites are definitely intelligent... has this one just evolved to develop emotions and compassion? Fucking confusing but fucking amazing ending.

DREAD SPOILERS PAST READ MORE! PROCEED WITH CAUTION! Ah yes, Dread's escape sequence. The one I almost failed because I initially couldn't figure out where to go next after the end of the first EMMI section. Turned out, I had to shoot the floor to get to the other EMMI section. The rest was pretty straightforward, though. I think I cleared it with less than....10 or maybe even 5 seconds remaining. I do remember freaking out when I saw "METROID SUIT". In fact, the whole sequence leading up to the Raven Beak fight and everything after made me freak out a bit.

13:44 To be honest, it’s kind of amazing that this new Mother Brain still doesn’t hold a candle to the difficulty that is Ridley’s fight! After defeating him, it’s basically all smooth sailing from there. 34:24 Here’s something that doesn’t make sense! How on SR388 does a space station of that size be able to destroy an entire planet by crashing into it? Maybe Zebes was completely rigged by the Space Pirates to cover their tracks if everything didn’t go the way they planned, but what triggered the domino effect to blast that doomed planet to smithereens? 44:45 Oh, my bad in regards to Zebes… But still, what the flip happened to SR388?

[@JamesNintendoTurd]

SR388 was destroyed because the BSL's self destruct explosives were powerful enough to blow up an entire planet. ADAM says as much when he suggests the plan, by saying that the BSL's explosives may cover the entire planet in its vaporization field. As for why the BSL needed such hilariously oversized explosives for its self destruct mechanism, we may never know.

[@SR-388]

I’d say the BSL stations explosion was pretty powerful, but also consider the planets structure, sr388 is quite hollow with a ton of caves and such throughout the planet, or at least thats what I’ve always thought, and so that explosion just eroded what was left of the planets weak underground structuring

[@ladyabaxa]

@@JamesNintendoTurd Well the station is a military research laboratory and as such would be a valuable target for an enemy of the Federation to hit. Powerful explosives can be a deterrent ("If you attack us you will die too!") or just to make sure the secret stuff isn't captured by destroying the invader along with the station.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

Think like a meteor impact. Something that size hitting the planet at that velocity would most likely eradicate all life on it, which is really all Samus needed to accomplish.

[@danibanani15]

a creepy time limit experience i remember having was during the final boss in origami king in the final phase you have to do this puzzle with a time limit if the timer expires, Mario dies from poison gas and I'm pretty sure you gotta do the fight again man, the anxiety from my first attempt doing that was high. i'll never forget it

[@MasterKnightDH]

I can input about Fusion, having done a Minimalist/No Damage Run, although "Minimalist" would be referring to 1%, not the BARELY humanly possible 0% which I also account for in general aside from the BS moment it involves. So first off, I didn't realize that I could have gone through the corridor with the specific Geron involved in the sequence break. My route (the bottom one, which is already intended on the way to the Super Missile) still is more time efficient, but it's significantly more dangerous just because of those damned Gerutas during the set up for the dropping off. Which isn't that much, but anything could be bothersome when doing No Damage. Next is the Namihes, which you complained about being durable pains. Freezing them isn't useless for destroying them, because the next missile will shatter them, and the missile usage is not crippling in 0%/1% because Namihes are guaranteed to drop Green X. Nothing I need to say about the Restricted Lab bit. I can point out that as I displayed in an extra in my series, the Operations Room actually can be visited directly after getting Diffusion Missiles, since the elevator actually is available and the Red Hatches are open. However, at that point in time, the Operations Room switch is pressed down and prevents the player from interacting with it in any meaningful way. Also, the Reactor Silo is actually wrecked during the final escape preventing the player from going there or its extensions via some attempt to subvert the door locking. I actually show as much in my run. Oh, and yeah, the save points being disabled during the timed sequences is a good thing. As for Zero Mission, I will cite how the time limits are lower on lower difficulties, though this especially matters on Low Percent, which I'm not doing because even a cursory view shows me how Minimalist/No Damage would have me wading through enough bullshit, given some OTHER problems that also crop up, ugh, Zero Mission, why?

Here’s a creepy time limit in a video game that you could cover if you want to, maybe (at least, I think it’s creepy). In the Dark Bloo Inn level in Paper Mario: Colour Splash, you have to finish it by a certain time. If you fail to do so, you suddenly get kicked out of the level and have to start it all over again.

9:13 that's because if you shoot Ridley enough, he drops the capsule, picks it up before it hits the ground, and then leaves with the escape timer starting as normal. Since this does not require you to be at low health for the fight to end, that's probably why you remember your brother beating this fight with 64 health left The best way I have found to "beat" Ceres Ridley is to keep standing near the door, and when he charges at you, purposefully take damage from his body rather than his tail, since Ridley's tail does waaaaay more damage than the body touch damage here is a video showcasing this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJC6oZyQr92VarM

PLEASE DO SPELUNKY

Weirdly, the escape theme was extended in the NES version, compared to the Disk System original (which also has a save system, I hear). So Fusion isn't the only one with internal ties to the Wario Land series! This is getting weird You can actually "win" the prologue fight with ridley. Damaging him enough is another trigger to advance to the escape sequence.

[@PhirePhlame]

Speaking of the Disk System version, the escape sequence timer is one of those sound effects that was originally run through the FDS's own soundchip rather than the base system's...the result: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIHYXnqjd9pkmtkm17s

Fun fact about samus: In the first manga they werent told she was a girl due to holding spoilers so they depicted her as a male hero surrounded by women with context nowadays that basically makes her the first gay protagonist and female protagonist in gaming.

A 51 minute episode and you're not even including anything outside the main 2d serie lol.

[@ladyabaxa]

The video description says that the 3D games might be a future episode.
