Super Metroid - Mother Brain Battle

[@toddknaperek8225]

This battle is one of the best silent narrative ever to a video game. Without a single word, we can feel at the final shots with the Hyper Beam that Samus Aran is furious at Mother Brain, who cannot fight her as powerful as she is anymore. Such an epic moment, one of the greatest moments in gaming. Ever.

[@Nintendan95]

+Neto B That excellent cut of sound when the Metroid dies. Just a single screech followed by its death, and the glow on Samus' suit. Fucking fantastic. Even the way Mother Brain's head is violently swung around as it cries from the insane force of the shots... absolutely incredible.

[@violetthebat8810]

indeed.😄

[@AJR-zg2py]

Exactly. This game gets so much atmosphere across with no dialogue in the boss fight. As far as atmosphere in a video game, Super Metroid is pretty much king.

[@TheLordThunder]

I get chills every time I watch the metroid come out of nowhere just in time, latch onto Mother Brain's skull and proceed to suck her dry. And I've seen it for 20+ years now. You can almost feel the metroid saying "You hurt my mommy! I hate you! I'll save you, mommy!"

Baby Metroid would not have died if Samus didn't have so many energy tanks to refill.

[@chumchuumm]

+Juliano Griszewski You can kind of bug it out. If you disable the gravity and varia suit for the hyberbeam phase you take increased dmg and at a certain amount when youre supposed to not be able to stand up anymore (which summons the baby metroid) you can use your energy tanks to get past the required amount of health to stay up (or something like that, i cant remember the exact method) but the baby metroid still gets summoned. You can even attack motherbrain while the metroid is healing you as you can walk around, shoot etc. So with already increased health the baby metroid needs to heal less as the energy tanks regardless of amount get filled instantly (maybe 0.1sec), it still dies regardless. I doubt you can pull the required amount of dmg needed to kill motherbrain at that stage before the baby is "done" as the dmg difference between the plasma and the hyper beam is enormous.

[@juba1479]

+Kretias lol I had no idea you could do that

[@GoodfellaZeta4873]

Lol...imagine if you make it ti the end with four tanks or less it survives.

[@g.davidturnblom5751]

@@chumchuumm Actually, as long as you start hitting Mother Brain with charged P+W+I shots right after she turns gray, you can drain her until you only need a few hyper beam shots to kill her, but you must let her kill the baby metroid. If you don't, the cutscene never ends, and Mother Brain's health never reaches zero.

[@forkshifter]

AwayAWAY Be careful, they tried too hard with some movies that ended up " wtf no " and some like Final Fantasy related were Jaw dropping.. You're gambling 50/50 chance of it being good.

[@madddogg7920]

Honestly, I don't think that a movie can do Metroid justice. Maybe the first two games but not Super Metroid. You would probably need a 4-hour movie just to get all the boss battles into it. Trying to condense it down to a 2 and a half-hour movie would take out a lot of content and would leave us disappointed. A Netflix series would be a lot better because all the content could be broken up over several episodes and would leave nothing out.

3:25 Samus: You..killed..my..BABYYYY!!!! *Boss mode activate*

[@Mystrohan]

I've thought a lot about this scene over the years, and I think the reason it made me so personally feel so furious and hurt wasn't simply the murder of Baby, or the loss of maternal bond it formed with Samus. It is that the game never gave us a chance to save the child. As a kid, I was watching in abject horror and helplessness as Baby continued to heal Samus while Mother Brain was gleefully attacking. I recall my (very young and stupid) train of thought going something like this: "What? NO! Stop it! I don't need to be at full health! Let's take that thing down together. Just give me back Samus so I can save the baby!" Of course, that didn't happen. And just as everybody else in this thread did, as soon as Samus got up and glowed with the power of the Hyper Beam, I roared back into the fight with flames in my brain and the desire for vengeance. But even when I'd dusted Mother Brain and escaped, I just couldn't help but be a little resentful that in those crucial few moments, I couldn't do anything. To my memory, helplessness wasn't a common feeling for a gamer in 1994. Most games had an optimistic resolution and gameplay feel, and even the tragedies of that era somehow felt like they weren't preventable. This did not. This game ingeniously plays upon an innate feeling that lives in us, the feeling that we could have - and SHOULD have - saved Baby if we'd just had the chance, and it is absolutely artful.

Some of the coolest cinematic sequences in any game ever, yet there weren't any pre-rendered cutscenes, quicktime events, or even any dialogue. This game was an absolute masterpiece. Two of my favorite moments in videogames will always be this sequence here and the part where you first see the baby metroid in Tourian, watch it attack and devour an enemy, and then come after you as well. It still gets to me after all these years, I was playing it the other day on the virtual console.

[@CptFreemanC17]

best scene in gaming. period. and no voice work needed. it's THAT good

[@BoxCarBoy12]

This second form of Mother Brain is one of the most nightmare inducing things I've seen. The brain part with its eye and jagged teeth was bad enough, but perch it on top of a T-Rex sized dinosaur body thing and it's perfectly hideous. Its bloodcurdling shrieks and the creepy background music complete the package. Nintendo did a great job of drawing this much atmosphere out of a 2D game with limited graphics capabilities back then.

[@Chaos------]

The moment when the giant metroid came in to the rescue is so bittersweet.

[@williamkoscielniak820]

Greatest ending to maybe the greatest game ever. The way this battle and thew whole narrative is set up is flawless. You're doing everything right but somehow can't get out of the Motherbrain's beam and you know you're about to die, and then a Metroid comes out of nowhere to save you. But then the Metroid starts coming to you and you think it might be killing you, but then you realize your health is going up, and you realize it's the Metroid that you just encountered like 15 minutes ago that nearly killed you but decided not to (the one from the end of Metroid II). Then your friend who just saves your life is killed protecting you. The music changes from the excellent, intimating, war-like track into the the triumphant one that plays in the area your spaceship is located in, and now you have the power to blast that vile, evil bitch straight to hell with each shot as she becomes more and more decimated until her body is obliterated and all that's left is her dead skull lying on the floor. And all of this is done without a single word said. The amount of love and care that went into this game at every level is truly something else. Imo it's literally a perfect game and whenever I play it over it NEVER ages even in the slightest.
