  In the 2nd grade, I loved this game but couldn't figure out the map. I wrote a letter to Nintendo asking if they could help and a few months later, I received a complete map of the entire game. Just incredible for Nintendo to do that and it really made my day.

  The original Metroid is near and dear to my heart.  It's the first NES game I ever beat and on my own.  No cheats.  No Nintendo Power or guides.  Just old-fashioned figuring things out and exploration.  I will always love this game.  I have a Displate metal poster, the yellow label Metroid cart encased, and Samus/Metroid figures in my gameroom as an homage to the game and the memories.

  I killed Mother Brain as a kid. When the screen started shaking, an actual small earthquake shook my house.  The timed escape was even more intense, especially for an 8 year old.

  You don’t know the closure I get from watching these videos <br>It’s like finally getting to see the cheesy endings you missed as a kid and finding out how close you were to finding a secret that you never did

  Tonight, I have put this beast to bed and I thank you for a great walk-through. I never finished this as a kid and 33 years later I can finally say I&apos;ve finished Metroid on NES. 7 year old me was freaking out when motherbrain exploded. Finishing these games is like therapy and again I thank you for these great walk-throughs. Kid Icarus, I&apos;m coming for you next.

  Love how the commentary is so quiet almost like you&apos;re trying not to wake your parents in the next room.

  Some additional tips:<br>All enemies in an area do the same amount of damage per hit, except for Metroids. Brinstar enemies hit for 8 energy, 10 in Norfair, 20 in the miniboss hideouts, and 30 in Tourian. Since the Varia suit cuts this in half, you definitely want it before delving into the hideouts.<br><br>Swooping enemies like Rios and Gerutas have a chance to drop big energy, which looks the same but heals for 20 instead of 5. Learning their patterns (they swoop down and will even crawl along the ground until you jump, causing them to swoop back up) so you can fight them easily will make restoring your health if you&apos;re low or after a death much quicker than fighting weaker enemies, especially if you have the screw attack. I don&apos;t recall if sidehoppers or desgeegas also have a chance to drop 20 energy but they&apos;re so dangerous that it is best to kill or freeze them and move on.<br><br>The entire world is on one map, and elevators tell the game which tileset to switch to. The &quot;secret worlds&quot; are what happens when you use the door glitch to get into a different area without changing the tileset, and are very glitchy. They were actually referenced in the Metroid inspired game Axiom Verge, where in certain points (random on each playthrough but always once per area) you can break out of the confines of the map into glitch looking &quot;secret worlds&quot; which are made up of a mixture of rooms from that area, much like the ones in Metroid, however they can be fully explored and you can even find powerups within them, including the rare size nodes that increase the size of your shots/weapons and are found almost exclusively in these glitchy references to the secret worlds of Metroid. <br><br>If you&apos;re having trouble with Mother Brain or find your missiles running low fall back to the hallway before her chamber, and fight the metroids there for health and energy drops. If you know how far to run to spawn the first two metroids, you can freeze them on top of each other and kill both with only 5 missiles. After collecting your spoils run back to the door to Mother Brain to scroll their spawn points off screen and respawn them. This makes recharging in the final battle much quicker, and the Zeebetites you destroyed will stay dead giving you a better shot at destroying the brain. This is especially useful for inexperienced players fighting her for the first time, or those mad players that skipped the Varia suit.

  I always saw bikini Samus as more of a shoutout to the ending of Alien than them being perverse.

  Great job! You are the Bob Ross of Nintendo walk-throughs. If it were me, there would be MANY more explicatives, as I moved through the game. lol :D

  Speedrunners have been playing this game for years, but I believe you provided more detail and helpful tips than most would think of. &nbsp;Your narration is so calming compared to watching someone just zoom through the game, and there are plenty videos of that kind of content which is why yours stand out. &nbsp;The amount of research you do for these games is stunning, thanks for doing these.

  The secrets and ways to navigate this game were mind blowing, this is expert level gameplay. Metroid for NES has to be one of the most cryptic games ever, subscribed after watching this!
