Metroid Series - Top Ten Music Tracks

[pokemaniacize]

I always forget about Gandrayda's theme, maybe because I can't hear it over the anger and rage I had versing it

[LoboFan1000]

no offense peanut, but how the fuck can you have a top 10 metroid track list and not include Ridley's theme. Its one of the most iconic boss themes of all time and well deserving of a spot on the top 10

[robbedthief]

super metroid had a lot better songs than these, shoulda added some more of them

[videogamerulertb23]

i was expecting more epic songs out of this video, all we got were some sad, little princess songs!

[InsomniacLegit]

I hate on Top 10 lists when people say stuff like "WHERE IS THIS SONG WHERE IS THAT SONG" just shut up please, don't expect everyone to like what you like.

[hungryhungrymetroid]

I would definitely have phendrana in the top 5. It's widely known as one of the best themes for any gamecube game and nintendo game period.

[Spudtron98]

Where the hell is the original Metroid ending theme? That is the most epic them of all time!

[Jeffophone]

@Spudtron98 It's technically number 2 on the list >__> The mp2 version is practically identical to the original

[Spudtron98]

@Jeffophone

I see no resemblance.

[boindil007]

Gandrayda is my favorite theme, too. Love it

[BomberGamer]

Why are people hating so Much this was a great list!

[MrTTnTT]

The escape theme is way too repepitive for me. I must say I agree about most of the other ones(aside of the placement.). You probably don't care, any of you, but I'm a Metroid fan, too.

[SSCaero]

i know this is opinion and all, but i disagree with gandrayda theme, many more better themes than hers

[hrthehsehreh]

where is the nightmare fight music??, and the Escape song is so repetitive

[scrapykoko24]

@hrthehsehreh THAT IS JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW

[omegasonic2000]

i respect your opinion but, in my opinion, i liked more the dark samus themes than gandrayda's theme, since gandrayda kicked my ass with Samus G, and Dark Samus only kicked my ass 2 or 3 times.

[Yashafan2004]

Sorry, I just had to chyme in and say a few things...first off, where is the title track to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes? You also neglected to add a couple of tracks from the game that should have been added, for instance: Where is Torvus Bog: Underwater? It's a terrific remix of Red Brinstar, also, no Sanctuary Fortress? Why isn't Tallon Overworld from Prime 1 added? You also neglected Jungle Brinstar from Super Metroid. Kraid's Lair, SR388 overworld, Crateria, Norfair, Tourian, and no Fusion songs

[Ozzman6662]

ok i know this list is based on your opinion, but c'mon where is brinstar (jungle area) from super metroid? surely that should be on here

[ShadowbaneOverload]

I think game ratings for each of the Primes should be from first to last. I just wasn't feeling it with the last one - too easy. Also, what about Phendrana's Edge? I thought that was better than Drifts. I've beaten every game but the second one - I really need to beat that.

[InsomniacLegit]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't #5 The Phendrana Drifts underwater theme? And why is the picture the Parasite Queen

[claygate42]

@InsomniacLegit You know, I was wondering just that.

[Ozzman6662]

@InsomniacLegit because this tune is played while you navigate the crashed frigate Orpheon on the way to phendrana, however a picture of the crashed frigate would be better than the parasite queen while the frigate is still functioning

[InsomniacLegit]

@Ozzman6662 very true

[DaAcester]

Sanctuary Fortress soundtrack was the most unique song in the series in my opinion

[LGDXJawsdakiller]

Rundas SUCKS (Let this comment be spammed by 4 year old fanboys)

[rjcrystalkay]

I like the music after you get your fully power suit in Metroid Zero Mission.

[philmeister5669]

"Torvus Bog Main Theme" is my personal favorite song from the Metroid series! And I've beat every Metroid game except for Other M... Thumbs up if you like "Torvus Bog Main Theme"

[Griffinstar358767]

phanedra drifts ftw

[BDbiogamer]

why is there no RIDELY Theme on this list?! BLASPHEMY

[GruntKilla90]

@BDbiogamer No Ridley theme on a list about Metroid themes = Fail. :P

[mastersword1997]

rundas battle theme is the best

[WalrusEternal]

I agree with 8, 4, 3, 2 and 1.

IT'S FRIKIN' GANDRAYDA!

YEAH!!!

[alfu57]

:D cool video... The best is Metroid prime title screen!!!

[ZiKoN22]

YES!! #5 is just so beautiful. i love it, when i first played Metroid Prime and entered to Downed Frigate Orphean, i almost cried it was so beautiful!

[undertaker54935]

you should of added torvus bog that was a good song too.

[CoalitionOfGearsGOW]

gandrayda's theme just adds quite some freak into it. like seriously, shes just freaky.

and with a freaky theme, with acid rain pouring all around in the "pirate homeworld"?

epic battle is epic.

[Laurenick96]

nice list i agree with some the choices one of my fav though is the vs ridley theme

[At709cp]

#3 is in kirby air ride! lol

[Dougidogg69]

Sure. Gandrayda's Theme. :)

[iTzCLeThRa]

metroid nostalgia :(

[DazeOfRealness]

Kraid's theme in the original Metroid is the greatest in the series. Gotta show love to the original Metroid.

[Ninjadude973]

@DazeOfRealness THANK YOU. I love that theme, especially the remix in Melee. :)

[Leishmaniasisably]

Whe you put Norfair/Magmor Caverns so low, you really should've put up your FLAME shield... Get it? Because both the aforementioned areas concern... aw, forget it.

[Eskalokos]

10 - Magoor Caverns - Metroid Prime 9 - Phendrana Drifts - Metroid Prime (knew this) 8 - Rundas Battle - Metroid Prime 3 Corruption 7 - Marida Sand soil - Super Metroid 6 - Theme of Samus Aran - Metroid Prime 3 Corruption 5 - Frigate Orpheon - Metroid Prime 4 - Dark Samus - Metroid Prime 3 Corruption & Metroid Prime 2 Echoes 3 - Title Screen/Credits - Metroid Prime 2 - Escape Theme - Metroid Prime 2 Echoes 1- Gandraya Battle - Metroid Prime 3 Corruption All this was Memorized. ;)

[TheOneManArmyClan]

@Eskalokos

Magmoor caverns is the remix of Lower Norfair from Super Metroid because (hands down) it's the best one in the whole damn series!

[AJones2K10]

i still think that parasite queen is the best song

[Leishmaniasisably]

I don't know about anyone else but #10 is my favorite.

[TheNintendinator]

this list is missing pretty much every major metroid peice of music ever made. obviously you play way to much prime and not the classics

[scottyrocks1]

No echos theme?

[6flyer]

im sorry peanut3423, i respect your opinion, but i have to get this out. WHERE THE **** IS THE METROID PRIME 2 TITLE SCREEN MUSIC?!?!?! metroid prime 2 is underrated.

[sparklyvampireblood]

@6flyer hell yes! :D

[nomars11]

@6flyer some body thumbs him up mp2 was very underated and has some of the best tracks and hardest bosses (im looking at you boost guardian) and happens to be a great game but it cant help it was made just after one of the greatest metroid games ever made.

[6flyer]

@nomars11 THANK YOU!!! mp2 needs some love.

[bluekentuckyboy]

@6flyer AMEN BROTHER to me mp2 is my 2nd favorite game in history 1st being..............METROID OTHER er, i mean super metroid

[6flyer]

@bluekentuckyboy i have never played super metroid(unless you count the glitchy emulater version i spent 1 minute on).

[TETTSUUO]

@6flyer U NEVER PLAYED SUPER MET??....WOW!!!....IT'S BY FAR THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE...IT'S A MIND-BLOWING MASTERPIECE...

[6flyer]

@TETTSUUO i guess i just haven't had the time or money to get it...

[WralthAndFloritz]

@6flyer Not entirely, what about quadraxis' theme?

[6flyer]

@WralthAndFloritz ill give it that, but almost everything else is overshadowed by metroid prime.

[INMATE2468]

Wow last one was badass

[Gearshead111111]

most of my favorit metroid songs!!!!

[ghostlourde]

how could you not include u-moses story of aethers peril music? theres a part where it kinda diverts from the crystal chiming into something much more epic...

i listen to it when thinking about the meaning of life.

[xdlugia1]

Anyhow I think about Metroid Prime, Magmoor Caverns is the one that sticks to my head...

[adamwestlapdog]

When it comes to Soundtracks, Why does nintendo not f**k about?

[6flyer]

@adamwestlapdog because nintendo likes good music.

[TheAllLookingEye]

Kraid's Lair from Zero Mission was pretty cool too.

[Beastdemon666]

(ATENTION, I CONSIDER THIS IS PEANUT' OPINION BUT I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING)To Peanut: I was happily enjoying the best nintendo game themes. Everything was fine till I finally reached the #1 theme... Dude i'm a big fan of metroid, i have played all the games (except M. other M), i love samus,and blabla... but you have to be f@#"ing kidding me... GANDRAYDA's theme!!!!, what happened to MOTHER BRAIN THEME!?, OR RIDLEY'S THEME, SA-X final fight theme should be here. You should add the #0 to the list.

[AgentMonkeyMan1]

Am I the ONLY one who thought Grandrayda from Metroid Prime 3 was awesome? she was extremely unique amongst the hunters and her personality was fantastic.

[henryhenriquez]

@AgentMonkeyMan1 she was anoying to beat.. ill give her that......

[alfu57]

My favourite is Metroid Prime credits...

Im fan n1 of metroid...

[UnaPinata]

Gandrayda,you annoying sonuvabitch with a ribcage for thighs.

...Yet why is your theme so damn good?!?

[SuperMagnum83]

no tovus bog or skytown? what about the artifact temple music in prime 1

[TheShadowfantom]

original lower norfair is bette the magmoor caverns

[LetsPlayers28]

gandrayda ?!?! this id bullshit

p.s.

Rundas was best^^

[ThoriaBladecadas]

Hell yeah. Rundas and Gadrayda made it onto the list. And it pretty appropriate places too, although I MUCH prefer Rundas as a character, Gadraydas theme was just SO epic it couldn't be ignored.

[jacook98]

I really like the hive mecha theme from Prime

[supergiraloz]

i feel a quite big abscence of a great track by the name 'Kraid's lair'

other than that, great selection

[THEJACOBLINCE]

@supergiraloz sooo true

[kantus59]

RUNDAS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[12nightkid]

@kantus59 what does FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mean?

[burningfiretorch15]

@12nightkid for the win

[lllllllll67]

@burningfiretorch15 I thought it meant fuck the world o_o

[burningfiretorch15]

@lllllllll67 that too

[lonk7880]

not gonna lie... didn't like your selections. i'm more of a fan of the classic standards (kraid, tourian, parasite queen) but to each his own.

[LWRCftw]

phendrana drifts deserved to be higher

[EvilBossGamer]

this game takes me back to when i was a teenager

[MonsterGun9]

#3 is my all time favorite Metroid song.

It is also the most epic video game song after Metal Gear Solid 2: Theme

[MrGavin5000]

I would've said Serris fight theme from fusion or some other stuff from Prme 2, but I'm too lazy to make one and this is yours so, bleh. Good list though:D

[zalitrix]

Number 6 is nice, but the original was better for me.

You forgot kraid's lair :)

Nice top ten.

Maybe I'll take Rundas's for my trailer...?

[DanielL5583]

10: Lower Norfair remix FTW.

9: Caaaalming...

8: A fitting song for a cool showdown (pun somewhat intended).

7: Mixed emotions; calming and cool, yet creepy and...can't think of another 'c' word.

6: Nice!

5: Just like Phendrana Drifts, this is pretty soothing too.

4: These tracks are perhaps my favourites in the series. Heck, I even used the MP2 rendition for my own intro.

3: The official theme of achievement.

2: RUUN!! GET TO THE GUNSHIP!!

1: For some reason, I hated Gandrayda. I dunno...

[DarkDialga960]

Honestly, I think this list is great, but there is too much great music from the Metroid series to compile it into a top ten list or any other list for that matter. Sadly, this franchise is not recognized as much as Mario or Pokemon or Kirby. All the tracks on this list were my favorites as well, but I think that top ten lists are too small to show the epicness of Metroid

[taka3000000o]

your number 1 is absolutely perfect where it is i love the song its amazing and the frigate crash

[666Winterdemon666]

no tallon overworld song? sad sad.... anyway good list^^

[MsTroller96]

Why no metroid prime core theme its awesome D:

[AcanOfchili]

4:54 thumbs up if the dark samus battle theme from MPC was the most utterly badass song you've ever heard in your life.

[cbravo91]

@AcanOfchili

you should listen to Pantera man... try any of Vulgar Display of Power... THAT is badass :D

[Ninjadude973]

@AcanOfchili I actually prefer the MP2E one.

[Boveree]

I really ove gandrayda theme, too :D

[metalsonic641]

metroid prime 2's opening theme was best in my opinion also i have only got 2 more games of metroid until i have COMPLETED TO WHOLE SERIES

[DoubleA2015]

Hey Peanut, I'm making my own Top Ten Metroid Songs in response to yours. This list is good, but I just want to show my own opinion. I love Metroid, by the way.

[KaollaTheSu2]

Ugh...I've been playing to much touhou lately...I thought I heard a part of Cirnos theme in the Rundas battle...

[firstprimehunter]

seriously, no metroid 2 tunnel theme?

[Goukeban]

If you heard magnoor carvens theme or Rundas Battle theme and don't get involved, then you're died inside of your heart.

[FaeOfDoom]

totally missing Kraid's Lair from the original / Zero Mission

[Himka01]

KRAID number one!!111

[MeDsCP]

Where's the Ridley Music?

[HardcoreGamer64]

Metroid Prime 3's introduction menu theme is the most epic thing ever.

[hybrinoid]

wheres da ridleyness??

[icygamer598]

These are my 10 favorite metroid tracks:

1. Lower Norfair (Super metroid)/Magmoor Caverns (Metroid Prime)

2.

[JanembaDude72]

10 Norfair/Lower Norfair Remix Super Metroid 9 Phendrana Drifts Metroid Prime 8 Rundas Battle Metroid Prime 3 7 Maridia Super Metroid 6 Sumus' Theme All games 5 Crashed Frigate Metroid Prime 4 Dark Samus/ Metroid Prime 2/3 (I liked the first of these) Aurora Unit 313 Metroid Prime 3 3 Metroid Prime Credits at End 2 Escape Metroid Prime 2 1 Gandraya Metroid Prime 3 This isn't the Metroid series. There were way better themes in the 2-D GBA Games, like VS. Mecha Ridley and SA-X. This IS PRIME!!!

[jjnnerazor]

theres no ridley

[dNysix]

metroid zero mission : KRAIDS LAIR

[shadowlinx93]

Perfect Choice for #1 that was the best metroid song of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[z3Carlos]

I love the first choice I mean the Magmoore caverns music was just so fitting and catchy

[timesplitter131]

I think this is missing some ridley. Anybody else?

[balltavorb]

@timesplitter131 Ridley is the greatest fictional villain of all time and I will not have him beaten by that slutball Gandrayda

[ThePepper3344]

@timesplitter131 yes i agree it was missing at least one ridley song.

[Link9164]

@timesplitter131

the first one magma in the start is a ridley remix from super nintendo.

[chrisrocks7011]

@timesplitter1 the dark amus track is my favmetriod track only the first fight track though in mp2

[chrisrocks7011]

@timesplitter1 nd 4 real the ridley boss track from mp1 should be in this

[Sileosoltice]

@timesplitter131 HIS top ten. Not the Populace

[yvet935]

track 6 it just sounds so noble i cant really describe the feeling anyone agree,

plus dark samus theme ftw

[yvet935]

track 6 it just sounds so noble i cant really describe the feeling anyone agree

plus dark samus theme ftw

[timesplitter131]

what about red brinstar and kraid's lair

[drybowserman9091]

What?! I disagree, Rundas be closer too number one on the list than Gandrayda!

[MarioGalaxy243g5]

@drybowserman9091 I disagree. I find Rundas OVERRATED. In every way possible.

[gamerseclipse]

Gandrayda is my fav too!!!

[OMEGAboy93]

Whats song is from the intro?

[ThebigK3000]

@OMEGAboy93 metroid prime three title screen

[OMEGAboy93]

@ThebigK3000 Thanks!!!!!

[TheSuperEricWarshot]

Do you have one of these for Zelda?

[FairlessSWE]

wth man? i respect your taste but, wtf? no Torvus Bog Submerged Temple, that's the best metroid music sample ever made, god, i'm just so disapointed ''/

[ericswheeler]

@FairlessSWE not as good as the original anyway, suepr metroid's red soil area brinstar.

[FairlessSWE]

@ericswheeler Ofcourse not, but it's an godlike remkake! And he didn't take the original either ''/

[6flyer]

okay. i know this is your opinion, and i respect your opinion... but how is metroid prime 2's title theme NOT on here?

[AidanzStuff]

My top list (Counting Prime 3, Fusion, Brawl, Super Metroid)

#5: Sector 1 (Fusion)

#4: Vs Rundas (Prime 3)

#3: Crateria/ Mother Brain Phase 3 (Super Metroid)

#2: Vs Ridley (Brawl)

#1: Samus' Theme (Prime 3)

[AidanzStuff]

Rundas' Theme KICKS ASS!! Rundas for SSB4!!!

[ZantFan111]

@drybowserman9091 In the opening section of MP3,Dark Samus infects Samus,Rundas,Ghor and Gandrayda with Phazon.This is what causes Hypermode BUT...if you stay too long in Hypermode, you will become a Dark Samus clone.And the AU was stolen by Space Pirates and given to DS.

[Peanutz996]

nr 10 should be ten places higher

[drybowserman9091]

So, uh, was the Aurora Unit a BAD GUY? Or was it corrupted? aNd what happened to samus durind MP3? The back of the box said something about corruption and samus? any answers?

[MrSkyVizer]

I was going to enjoy this video until I realized how much Metroid Prime music there was, and how little 2D Metroid music there was.

[FinalBossPwner]

Have you listened to Skytown on Prime 3? I swear that that's got to be the most beautiful piece I've ever heard, right up with Phendrana Drifts, perhaps even more so.

[gunner5670]

Phandrana Drifts? That music was HOOOOOOORIBLE!

[RudySpino]

@gunner5670 Why? I like it?

[Triforce677]

#8 NEEDS to be #1 i love the hell outta this theme especially 1 minute in i cant help but smile idk y

[adelenoth]

were was kraid's lair?

[metamarth]

ok I Understand these are you favorites songs, but i think ridley song is one of the favorite songs.

I dont like number one,, sorry

[RickJames439]

people the best track is the number 5 =D

[Gewlas023]

Awesome list. I'm a huge metroid fan too.

Here's my top 5

5.Magmoor caverns

4. Theme of samus Aran. (metroid prime 3)

3. Phendrana drifts.

2. Rundas battle. ( who doesn't love this theme?)

1. Metroid prime 2 title screen

[6flyer]

@Gewlas023 well SOMEone agrees with me.

[InuYashafanboyee]

oh man, that maridia music always give me the chills man! And the Phendrana Drifts and Underwater frigate music, so peaceful, however, I think they should've had a Maridia remix for the underwater frigate. Where is green brinstar from super metroid man?! I mean gandrayda's boss theme was pretty sweet (though I find Rundas' better) you absolutley MUST have green brinstar man! Eh, who am I kidding it's your list.

[InuYashafanboyee]

oh man, that maridia music always give me the chills man! And the Phendrana Drifts and Underwater frigate music, so peaceful, however, I think they should've had a Maridia remix for the underwater frigate.

[InuYashafanboyee]

oh man, that maridia music always give me the chills man!

[Andyrolled]

why did you put phendrana drifts at number 9?!

[gamergeeko]

WHERE IS RIDLEY?

[CarvedInShadovvs]

the best is the underwater frigate



[robloxfan459]

O_O no....ridly???? ARE YOU NUTS!!! RIDLYS THEME IS GOOOODDLLLYY.

[MRridley225]

my fav is mp3's opening music

[anduril9969]

Thing is, I could barely listen to the Gandreyda music, I was too busy pounding the **** out of her. It was QUITE satisfying.

[MrSunnyboy1999]

Wow !! You love the music of the new titles

[MrSunnyboy1999]

No. 10 is the same like Ridley's Hideout

[thedualwielder]

The whole time I was watching this video, I was thinking about the Gandrayda boss theme. Very nice! Great job! haha

[Hayse1q1]

When I listen to some of the music, I keep getting a zelda feel, not sci-fi at all. I find this a weakness in the music choice on nintendo.

They are good tracks, don't get me wrong, just not suited for a space adventure like Metroid.

Or am I the only one who gets this feeling.

[ndh564]

whenever i look at that gandrayda picture you put in, i think she has a baby face with her body... really freaky....

[DoragonShinzui]

Metroid had more atmosphere then Venus.

And the entire planet is, like, dense clouds.

[BurningNinjaZ]

It seems that almost everyone loves Rundas' theme.

[TheSuperEricWarshot]

You should make a zelda list of some sort. (if you already have i havent seen it. I just love zelda its my favorite)

[Carz03]

good list...i hate magmoor canverns though lol X)

[themetroidhunter111]

great list but in my opnion the credits music of metroid prime 3 should be in the list

[Ahaynam]

Phendrana Drifts is my most favorite Area EVER! It's music is so beautiful

[enterprise0709]

DUDE how can you forget THE most epic track from the entire franchise?!

Brinstar - Metroid/Zero Mission
