Best VGM 725 - Super Metroid - Brinstar ~ Red Soil

[I1KonArtis1I]

Super Metroid > Metroid Prime > Metroid Prime 2 > Everything > Other M lulz

[TheRavingReview]

@I1KonArtis1I metroid fusion snm

[bulletbull430]

"Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad...OMG So Sa-ad" I Sang that through the song and it fits most of it...

[Biospark88]

I actually played Echoes before Super, so once I got here I was like "Reverse Nostalgiagasm!!" :P

[BrokenPipe7]

Dat Torvus Bog

[WalkingWithStrang3rs]

@BrokenPipe7 there was a "remake" of this song in the sunken temple in Metroid Prime 2: echoes (which i personally like better than the red soil version)

[killahkazi]

I always thought that the base line to this song was perfect for a rap freestyle. Unfortunately, I can't rap. :-(

[ObeseChess]

@killahkazi hmmmm...

[coolmanater]

This one is good and metroid prime 2 is good too there both good i can say that

[Dougidogg69]

0:00 eargasm is coming...

[Pharphain]

Ah, Super Metroid.... the greatest Platform game in the world

[pervysage35]

FUCK 3D METROID IT'S TIME FOR EITHER 2D METROID DREAD OR A SUPER METROID REMAKE!!!!

[rasheemo1]

@pervysage35 really? I thought the prime series was excellent.

[pervysage35]

@rasheemo1

Yeah, Prime was awesome, but I feel we need another 2D Metroid before another 3D one.

[attoloco]

@pervysage35 well, after Other M; which wasn't actually bad... ooo what the hell, it just sucks really bad ... the Metroid series itself needs a new 2D kick ass game...

[pervysage35]

@attoloco YEAH YOU GET THE SPIRIT!!!!

[roboguy75]

@pervysage35 the metroid prime series were amazing, and I think those should be the only metroid games in 3d

[pervysage35]

@roboguy75 I know, the Prime series was badass. However, I really miss the good ol' 2D side-scrolling...

Zero Mission and Fusion were good, but not Great, like SM.

[travonadkisson3000]

everytime i play the game i love this beat it take's me somewere

[pervysage35]

could anybody teach me to do the piano part

[TravistheGREAT03]

stucked in this game so long till i looked at the map and noticed that there must be a secret block in the room with the elevator to Nofair xD

....and the this music :) best in the game in my opinion :3

[gunpei]

I remember watching my brother play this part and he spent like an hour trying to wall-jump up the red tube area instead of going down to Norfair XD

[RaikenXion]

Such a classic, I miss the day, but I'll never forget. Im so glad I grew up through the mid 80s and early 90s, because it felt like all the best things came out of those decades, new Ideas were constantly popping up, and games were evolving. 2day it just feels like every things been done now. Super Metroid is a true classic, the first video-game that played out like a cinematic movie (purely because it was based on a classic sci-fi movie).

[Mistahjey]

@RaikenXion What classic movie was metroid based on. Oh please do tell me, I'm curious.

[RaikenXion]

@Mistahjey Well I guess I shud say Inspired by more than anything lol

[Mistahjey]

@RaikenXion based upon / inspired, I dont really care. The name of the movie I'm interested in. xD

[RaikenXion]

@Mistahjey lol, well I wud hav thought any1 who knows Metroid wud b aware that the games r heavily based on the Alien and Aliens films lol. The heroine being a woman, even Ridley is a homage to "Ridley Scott" who created Alien.

[LinkMarioSamus]

@RaikenXion Man I agree with you wholeheartedly on Super Metroid!  Except that I played the game for the first time in Fall 2009, but on my second playthrough in Fall 2010 while my midterm exams were going on, I was having the time of my life. Even more ironic is that Other M had just come out - right after this franchise had crashed and burned, it felt so weird and awesome to be playing the very game that made it so big in the first place.

[RaikenXion]

@LinkMarioSamus Yes that gud that u have been able to get in2 this franchise, its only ashame that majority of younger generation's mainstream r not like that. Other M is good, doesnt quite capture the same atmospheric feel of its predecessor and having Samus now talk also kinda spoils it I felt, but still a very faithful addition to the franchise, especially having gone bk to the classic side-scrolling that was a genius touch, on the part of Team-Ninja and Nintendo.

[LinkMarioSamus]

@RaikenXion It probably helps that I only started "hardcore" gaming in 2008 and have never owned a non-Nintendo console. Mario and Metroid are the two franchises that most easily appeal to me due to my childhood love for dinosaurs.

Other M was okay. Not deserving of a 2/5, but nothing earthshattering at all.

[Bluerage98]

I played Prime 2 before this, so when I got here, I was like "OH SHI- THIS IS WHERE THAT THEME COMES FROM!" Truly a wondrous day in Metroid. This Metroid was my favorite out of all of them.

[charger619c]

I would red soil my pants if I was on a planet like this and this theme started playing.

[perdedoronline]

@charger619c , LOL. I wouldn't blame you.

[galti111]

Super Metroid was a game you experienced rather than played. And the music was a big part of that. Truly sublime!

[gunpei]

this song is such a great transition from the strange plant-life of Brinstar to the hellish depths of Norfair

[atza20]

the piano part made me jump when i was traveling here :)

[sora8711]

One of the more memorable songs of the game. Brings back memories. I want to play this again for another time, even if I could never have the patience to get 100% myself.

[MasterLink27]

man, hearing this after such a long time gives me chills

[Fireign666]

The music in this game added so much atmosphere, all the music from the game, not just this one piece.

[KingGiddra]

Bad Ass Intro... whoa.. damn

[Phantominfernox]

I remember the music for this game made me not want to play it as a kid, it legitimately creeped me out back then. Although for a second, listening to the very beginning of this again actually sent a shiver down my spine. '>_>

Probably because it's late and I'm tired though.

[Alexx1083]

@Phantominfernox

Your thoughts are shared with others around the age you were, though. My young nephew is just learning about the games I played as a kid, and he has only touched Metroid (though he's really trying) because it scares him. I suppose it's an odd feeling, but I'm proud. He's not above really getting into a game and feeling it.

[tommyboy31885]

Best song out of any metroid, peroid.

Here's a few other greats that popped in my head (some you probably already uploaded but I'm not looking through 700 videos ;) )

Phendrana drifts- metroid prime

Lower norfair- super metroid

Kraid- metroid (zero mission)

sector 4 water level- metroid fusion

[Frieza102]

When the piano comes in, on this one and especially on the Torvus Bog version in MP2, it suddenly takes on an Oriental feel, doesn't it? I really like it.

[obligatorysignin]

I always loved highly atmospheric games like this. I never played it in it's day, it took a recommendation 14 years later... but it's still fantastic.

[matheuskakaroto]

The best music of SM ! Ever !

[Thermalfiredotcom]

Great music, I think there is a part in the game where Samus revisits an area where she had defeated a boss character that had turned to dust. I can't say for certain if it was there but the music that accompanied it was so creepy and solemn, I'm not shy to admit I just stood in awe listening to it for a while. Awesome stuff, great post.

[LieutenantLousyshot]

@Thermalfiredotcom I think that was near beginning of the game where she visits the first area of Metroid 1. She makes her way down to Mother Brain's ruined old chamber.

[EvilMariobot]

@Thermalfiredotcom The Boss character that crubled to dust was a Torizo in Tourian.

[BillySpleen]

epicness

[Grakesch]

I have to apologize but there is only one way for me to describe that song

MIND = BLOWN AWAY

[neverwntedrevenge]

I love how this music sounds so awesome, even after such a long while. It has truly withstood the test of time. :)

[bregowine]

Good God... what an amazing composition.

[Koopsas]

God I love this song. Snes= best console ever.

[TimKraemer]

You ain't lyin', this really is by far one of the single best VGM tracks of all time. It absolutely drips with atmosphere.

[WannabeG00D]

Metroids music never fails to give you a creepy feeling of isolation... awesome!

[xSayPleasex]

Listen to this alone in the dark... you'll start "hearing things" AHHHH what was that ; p

[joaobisgo]

Love it! Very nice choice, SupraDarky. ^_^

Super Metroid = Masterpiece beyond words.

[drunyon214]

"Atmospheric" is the perfect description for this theme.

[TheRealVordox]

@drunyon214 Heck every song in Super Metroid is a masterpiece that gives the chill of being there. Always this loneliness and the dark enviroments, creates a awesome vibe.

And that's just the music in the game!

[diamondlancer]

@TheRealVordox

If I was asked to describe in words the experience of hearing this song while playing the game for the first time, I couldn't. Then I read what you said...I think that's the closest I could come to an accurate description.

[trevbook]

The Metroid Prime 2 version of this song was pretty good too.

[extra1477]

darky i love you!

This game is by far one of the most atmospheric games on snes ever... and i agree there are many snes games i could play every year including this one ... hopefully the new metroid will be as awesome as this was

[thegnx]

i love this game

best metroid ever

[SonicBrawlChao]

Best VGM 725 - New Super Mario Bros. Wii the snow world theme.

[manofaluminum9000]

@SonicBrawlChao Best VGM 725 - Super Metroid - Brinstar ~ Red Soil

[SonicBrawlChao]

@manofaluminum900 i meant 726 lol whoops

[Sephiko]

I was waiting for this to show!

Are you gonna put a link up to the Metroid Prime 2 version?

[SupraDarky]

@Sephiko Yep, I'm about to upload it.

[demonkai76]

yeh this was one of my favorite area tracks....pretty catchey still i see.,,,heavy on the bass like i dig it

[guitmm]

I think this is the best theme in Super Metroid.

[twofro11]

i sware if I play super metroid or any of the metroid games in the dark, lights off, I get like freaked out, the game is so atmospheric, its like a futuristic horror game O________O, mostly the music but still, creapy shit right thar lulz.

[Stall0wnized]

I just had an eargasm, like i get from every tune of Super Metroid

[koimaster]

@Stall0wnized clean up on isle earleven

[Aviotes]

Just by listening to this music, you know this area is interesting but also very hostile :)

[sora8711]

I never really payed attention much to the music of this great game as a kid, a few months back I decided to play again and see how games were back in my time. This time though I played and payed attention to everything. It takes a real gamer to appreciate everything about a game whether it is the graphics, the music, the gameplay or even the opening.

[brodiger]

I Love this song

[Klagmar]

I love the atmosphere of the songs from Super Metroid. Most of them are at least somewhat lonely, which makes sense because you are literally by yourself the entire game.

[SupraDarky]

Very few games are as fun and atmospheric as this one. I probably have a very small list of games I could play every year and this would be in it. Castlevania IV would be another one and some other RPGs, mostly for the SNES for some reason.

[VGKing]

@SupraDarky There's a good reason for that: the SNES is awesome. Point to any game, and chances are very good that an SNES game can beat the crap out of it.

[hanz101]

@SupraDarky i would say mostly snes because most of the games are so easy to just pick up and play ^^.

Thanx again for your consistent uploads ^^

[anegwa]

@SupraDarky Probably because the snes was home to some of the best RPG's of all time, like FF4 and 6, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore and Breath of Fire just to name a few

[BenBenjiro]

@SupraDarky hahaha agreed, the SNES has some very awesome replayable games. i dont have a SNES anymore, but i got most of my favorites on wii (VC).

i even played super metroid on VC recently (just unlocked the "elevator" to tourian), and damn its a lot more challenging (challenging is good) than i remember (probably because i played it on emulator a lot), but its just as much fun as when it came out.

[Glyph255]

@SupraDarky 'At's cuz they told better stories back then.

[SmaddyDiva]

@SupraDarky Definitely agreed with 'atmospheric'. The beginning of the game is a great set-up for the rest of the adventure, and for its time, it had lots of surprises and shocking moments of things jumping out at you in it.
