Metroid Glitches - Son of a Glitch - Episode 64

[@AStartShow]

Hey guys, sorry its been such a long time since the last episode. I've been working on finishing older projects and this episode was kind of a placeholder at short notice. But it's Metroid's 30th anniversary, so enjoy! Also check out Box Robot Studios! Thanks for the support. Episode should get more regular again soon! Andy

[@miigs9499]

Finally Metroid Glitches

[@conducivecolt7gaming88]

+Slyceth. yes and its the best

[@fidgety9001]

Glad to see Metroid finally make an appearance, so many broken games (I really hope you do Super Metroid, though some of those tricks are absolutely brutal) but many of them are still legitimately good.

[@luigifanplus7284]

yo are you going to do glitches on Kirby robot planet if there are any

Episode 64! The one console so far that Metroid never had a game on. Irony.

[@pictonomii3295]

Wii U also.

[@funfun1122]

Nintendo land tho

[@Parnifia]

Wii U still has its entire life cycle ahead of it, plenty of time for them to release a new Metroid game (whether it's good or not).

[@PsychadelicoDuck]

Um... Wii U is being replaced by the NX sometime next year, by my understanding.

[@pictonomii3295]

Parnifia the Bastard​ Dude, the NX is coming out next year and they're stopping production of Wii U consoles. the Wii U is dead. there were no Metroid games for it, and there never will be. CAULDRONS!​​ I don't really think that Metroid mini game really counts.

[@Stryder7x]

Nice video as always! You have a lot of talent being able to pick up just about any game and pull off the glitches. I don't think it's as easy as it looks :)

When I got Switch Online and the NES games with it, the first thing I did was try the Spinning Zoomer glitch. Funniest thing I did all day!

[@19Szabolcs91]

The door jump glitch was one of the only ones I used during my regular gameplay. There is a missle upgrade in a really shitty place where you need to do a pixel perfect jump with low ceiling, otherwise you fall down a long shaft, and it takes ages to get back just to try again.

[@sunscraper1]

In Ridley's lair, you have to bomb jump, not jump

Great video, haven't had chance to watch one from you in a while so good to catch up. I considered Metroid but couldn't find near as many glitches as you've showcased! My hat's off to you Andy, great to see your channel still growing fast and the release of a new channel too! Good luck with it :)

[@henriquefernandes3447]

I wonder if he can find a glitch in the Metroid Prime series, cause that series is video game perfection! One of my all time favorites!

[@LinkAranGalacticHero]

I love those games too! but unfortunately the GC version IS FULL OF overexploited glitches, the most famous being: "early Ice beam (skip Flaaghra)", "Scan Visor higher jump" for MP1 and "early power bombs", "Screw Attack istantly kills Emperor Ing" for MP2. As for MP3 I can't tell right now, but just watch a Speedrun if you're interested ;)

[@henriquefernandes3447]

LinkAranGalacticHero yeah I saw the screw attack kills emperor Ing one, my mouth dropped when i saw that. I played the Metroid prime trilogy for the Wii. Best $60 spent in my life. I swear we need another one, like not necessarily the same storyline, but the same style of the prime series game. But I mean MP3 did end with Dark Samus' ship following Samus so who knows maybe they will pick up from where they left off.

[@LinkAranGalacticHero]

+Henrique Baena Fernandes I Do really hope they continue the franchise... but honestly I think they just want to end it... Wii U had great potential for a Metroid prime-like game, mainly in terms of gameplay and scenarios, but Metroid skipped this generation and I wish it appeared on NX somehow

[@henriquefernandes3447]

LinkAranGalacticHero I actually own the Wii U and it has some very good console exclusive games, it's a shame that their party developer won't support it. But yeah i do admit i'm a bit worried about the NX. I'm sure they will announce more games to come with the console, but they better have a metered Prime game in store or else i'm not gonna get it

[@Bluelightonthemoon]

I'm pretty sure i remember hearing somewhere that Nintendo was planning a new metroid game for the NX, after what happened with federation force, but that might incorrect

[@Quagigitymire]

A glitch? lol... @ 2:12 I thought this was the way to do it the entire time I played. I loved this game and it was the 1st game I ever got along with my 1st old school Nintendo for Christmas 1985. In fact, I still have it and the gun, duck hunt, power glove, and many games in my storage closet in the spare room. I break it out ever few months to get a little nostalgia feeling. Excellent video!! Sub and thumbs up!

[@wild1234]

Umm, where did you find a metroid with a helmet? I want to find that easter egg! To be more serious, I assume you are talking about samus's helmet and her ship in super metroid, etc? From the front the window makes it look similar but from other angles its different. And while that ship is the most common/iconic ship, in other games she does fly completely different ships.

[@beary-boo3223]

That Varia suit one is really cool! I'll totally use that if I can get it down.

[@FireSBurnsmuP]

Finally! I love glitching this game and speedrunning it. The early Varia suit glitch is good, but I usually use the door jump glitch to get myself up there - don't even have to get the ice beam first, so you can do it as soon as you have missiles! You get your first missile tank closer to the varia suit than to the ice beam, so this allows you to shave off a couple minutes for your speed run. Maybe you should do Metroid 2 next... Just saying: if nothing else, there's the 'Secret Worlds' glitch in M2 that's leagues better than it was in M1 - they were playable (instead of invariably requiring a reset because you were stuck somewhere) and change every time you play!

[@ronmower]

Awesome. :) I love Metroid. I never knew about these glitches.

[@silverblade0011]

Wow more love for Metroid's 30 than what Nintendo has given in almost the last decade for it.

[@ThatLazyKid420]

I love your videos, man! I love seeing all the little ways games can be broken or exploited, and the quality of these are top notch!. If you get the chance and didn't know already, you should really check out the original 5 Tomb Raiders for PS1 and PC. There's a plethora of glitches and bugs in the games and almost all of them can be used to do amazingly well for speedruns; a lot of the glitches carry through the games, but with each new game there are more really cool things to exploit. I think they'd interest you a lot!

[@fattestroyal198]

I've waited for this a while.

[@PotatoSoupThe64th]

Oh trust me. These glitches are nothing compared to the "ENGAGE RIDLEY MOTHER FUCKER" glitch. Typing it on the password screen will either crash the game upon the lightest tap on the start button, or even worse, permanently break the entire console.

[@sandow8575]

1:58 You can pretty much do the same trick in Zero Mission to get the Varia Suit in that game early, which is neat.

[@LorenHelgeson]

1:10 - there is one jump in Ridley's lair that is made significantly easier with this glitch. Never knew about it as a kid, and it would have saved a lot of frustration.

[@RBtheGREAT]

Son of a glitch Marino kart got me into the channel and I have watched the whole playlist 😆

[@tibschris]

No, the Secret Worlds are not unused or extraneous data. And I can explain them. The entire Metroid map is a series of corridors. You can draw this map on a 2D grid. Each room on the map has a number: the room is loading off of a "room palette." Using an elevator to a different section of the map (Brinstar, Kraid's laid, etc.) changes the room palette. When you use the door-jump glitch, you're just accessing a section of the map without loading the proper room palette. Normally you'd have to use an elevator to get to that map position, and a different room would load.

[@ak94dude30]

* Confuses varia suit sequence break with glitch * But it's all good, if your definition of glitch is "unintended gameplay elements" (which is a definition I accept). Anyway, I really enjoyed the video, can't wait to see what you have in store for us with Super Metroid!

[@LeviathanRX]

That will probably be half the Super Metroid video.

[@DSoverPSP]

Honestly I just beat this game today and I ended up using that exact sequence break without even realizing that's what I was doing. I've beaten Zero Mission several times so I knew it felt weird going for the Varia so early, but the way it was set up made it seem natural.
