The Complete Metroid Timeline | The Leaderboard

[@kidkruschev]

Corrections: In Metroid II, Arachnus isn’t a Metroid. It’s a creature native to SR388. In Other M, Samus didn’t donate the Metroid cells. She had no idea the Federation took them to be cloned until much later in the story.

[@DragonofDarkness13]

Correction... in Other M the Baby's Cells were Stolen off her suit , hence why she was surprised there were Metroids on the ship and they had that flash back to the scientist dude with the glasses being shady.

[@Thechozochampion]

Indeed

[@thetk7508]

I’ve always felt people take Raven Beak too literally when he calls Samus his “child”. He’s probably using the word like how people would call a science project or a new invention their “baby”, I doubt he sees Samus as an actual daughter and vice versa.

[@FoxySpartan117]

@@thetk7508 There's no way he isn't using it to try and take advantage of Samus' empathy.

[@SomeoneFromGenZ]

Soooo, can we get a timeline on how Ridley managed to come back to life a bunch 💀😭

[@milenasouza2975]

Can you please try the Entire Kirby Timeline? I love this video so much!

[@iwuvu5940]

I’m so glad prime 4 is finally here!

[@davida12345]

No your not

[@FoxySpartan117]

While the timeline is accurate. I find myself face palming at every abriged description of many of the games.

[@wipicoco]

Yessss needed some new prime hype content

[@ArtifiSir]

Solid content aside, the upward inflection on the last word of nearly every sentence made this video essay a song.

[@Zerolink30]

Just here to fact check

[@FoxySpartan117]

You didn't say anything.

[@UltraSilver64]

Interesting nickname for the Metroid hatchling, 'Poprock'. I nicknamed it Metchy as of Super Metroid (and I still do). I mention this in my Super Metroid playthrough on my channel (apologies for the obvious plug!).

[@tranceemerson8325]

the director of Alien is named James Cameron. IT would have only been LESS THAN a single month from the time the movie Alien was released before Metroid was, so I HIGHLY DOUBT IT WAS BASED ON ALIEN IN ANY WAY. NO GAME DEVELOPER WHIPS OUT A AAA GAME IN ONLY ONE OR 2 WEEKS!!! AND YES THAT GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED A AAA TITLE FOR 1986!

[@dr.metroid6119]

You know, technically the omega metroid at the end of fusion shouldn't have even attacked her due to her having metroid DNA.

[@Zerolink30]

This summary actually made Other M sound like a good game.........

[@Tiger_Woods]

One my favorite games ever 💚💚💚💚

[@fireembliam9090]

You mean Nintendo franchise.

[@JuanGarcia-vh7zo]

A regular basis, ha ha ha ha! You're funny.

[@DevlVergil]

The story ends up not being as interesting and mysterious as I thought it would. Playing Metroid Prime remastered recently not knowing much about the Metroid story and reading through the scanned text by Chozo and Space pirates it seemed more like the Space Pirates didn't know much about the Chozo Race itself, hinting that it probably died out a long time ago. The incident on Tallon IV therefore also seemed like it happened thousands of years ago, not only 50 years. The Chozo with their Egyption and almost primordial architecture and wisdom being able to foresee the future and prophecies is not something you'd expect only 50 years ago in a highly futuristic timeline.

[@kidgruesome407]

how did you get such clear and upscaled prime hunters footage?

[@SoulOri]

you can scale the grafiks up with emulators

[@jeremygeason2423]

It the fuuuture

[@novustalks7525]

Technically the correct way to do the timeline is by which events happen before others

[@mquanah55]

The term metroidvania has always irritated me. Metroid has always been Metroid, straight out of the gate. Castlevania was basically a side scrolling platformer for like 15 games before copying Metroid in SOTN. SOTN was a fantastic Metroid clone, not a new genre

[@michaelmoore1627]

Yooo, Amagi!

[@Adam-g8c2h]

Do Dragon Ball / Z / GT and Super

[@DDKoD]

Ummm there’s a strong possibility that Beyond may very well be the current last game in the timeline. The glactic year for Beyond is 20X9 where as Samus Returns and Super(and possibly Other M) happen 20X7. Also The prime games takes place around a year after the first game, not 3 years

[@Vince005aran]

I highly doubt it. Since the suit in Dread is basically a still-recovering version of the Fusion suit, it stands to reason that any depiction after Dread will still look drastically different from the old power suit, likely keeping the white armor layer for instance

[@Luigifan305]

Except Fusion is stated to be "many years" after Samus wiped out the Metroids on SR388, meaning that Beyond is definitely still before Fusion. By definition, "many" can't mean any less than 5, though some sources give a more precise number of 8 years, matching the IRL time between game releases. Either way, Beyond being just 2 years after Super means it's _absolutely_ before Fusion. Also yes, it's confirmed that Prime 1 is 3 years after Zero Mission whether you like it or not. Besides, based on various logs throughout the prime games, we can be sure that it's impossible for everything to fit in a single year, meaning that Federation Force's 20X6 is actually 11 years after Zero Mission's 20X5 instead of just 1, so might as well fill out the space a bit.

[@FoxySpartan117]

​@@Luigifan305while I'm not disagreeing with you I'd like some sources if you don't mind.

[@Luigifan305]

@@FoxySpartan117 Fusion being "many" years after Samus Returns is stated in the Metroid Fusion instruction manual, while Prime being 3 years after Zero Mission is confirmed by the Metroid Prime Trilogy art booklet. There are also logs in Corruption stating that Phazon was discovered at least 2 years ago, referring to when the Pirates arrived on Tallon IV before Prime, which is in-game info that outright debunks the notion that the entire Prime series could fit within a single year. Since Zero Mission and Federation Force are explicitly stated to be in 20X5 and 20X6 respectively, but are 100% incapable of being just 1 year apart, the only explanation is that they are 11 years apart, with the X merely being an ambiguity tool rather than representing a specific decade. This is further supported by the Federation Force website claiming that FF takes place multiple years after Corruption.

[@theakiwar9118]

It won’t since the suit is still recovering from the surgery. The Metroid arc os over and space pirates are extinct by Dread. It will likely take place before Samus Returns or before Fusion

I’m a big Metroid fan and this is superb 👌🏽 🪼
