  • Perfect UFO music."

  • Best game of the serie

  • oh hello nostalgia! this music makes me extremely happy :)

  • Just as great and atmospheric as every other Super Metroid track.

    Is it just me or does 1:20 sound japanese like?

  • One of the best Metroid games out there, I still have an original cartridge that I play from time to time.

  • Im already picturing the morbid scene, listening to this music. The backgrounds of the red blocks are reminiscent to cell walls. Perhaps they could be cell walls... Whats more, there's spikey teeth sprouting from the red gums... I feel like im inside a vagina somtimes... What the hell was nintendo thinking when they made this game... They mustive snorted lotus in the process of creating this masterful gem...

  • This game gets better with age no other game has topped this.

  • @xRocketzFighterx Smash bros melee aged pretty freaking good too... But yeah, Super M cannot be beaten... I will always find new reasons for liking this game... Surely it is the boldest, most mature game to come out of nintendo... Perhaps even the darkest for that matter...

  • @plasmametroid

    SSBM is still great even though back then before brawl I was hopeing to play as starwolf (appears in the arwing intro) I can play that game for ages mostly with friends.

    Super M is one of those games that is so perfect in every way, music, gameplay, graphics are alive n well detailed, control also rewarding players with skill or people who are new to the series to.

    Also the game is pretty short round 40min for speed runs to 2 hours and thats a good thing imo.

  • @xRocketzFighterx Im in total agreement with you on that one... The sense of full and total control of samus, from altering her speed when sprinting to wall jumping effortlessly, will never be dismissed. And part of their gaming philosophy is finding different ways to approaching unreachable gaps... This game is the only metroid game that gives you other options of breaking those gaps through the use of other items or acrobatic skill alone...

  • @xRocketzFighterx The BEST metroid title EVER. I would LOVE to see a remake of it done . Kept in 2D side scroller fashion. Same map layout and all, same item placement just updated graphics. Like they did with Metroid Zero Mission (looking for a copy for that now)

  • @RiddleOfSteel82

    I still have metroid zero mission its a great remake of the nes game.

    Oh yeah so want to see super metroid get the high class remake treatment, they should hire capcom's gamecube resident evil team to help them with development if you pay attention to that game's backgrounds the artwork is amazing done in 2D render.

  • @xRocketzFighterx I agree whole heartedly. The GC remake of Resident Evil was amazing. I still have it. It's the only GC game I kept. Seeing Super Metroid redone by the same team with the same love and care would make it gamer heaven for me.

  • Masterfully atmospheric.

  • This should have been SA-X's sneaking theme... O.O

  • best tune in the game, I meant

  • Probably the best tune in the song... Lower Norfair theme comes in a very close 2nd

  • When I think of mysterious worlds, this song comes to mind.

  • best metroid song. it should be also nice for people who dont know the game

  • amazing song - amazing game

  • Many a'n hour playin and a'n a gettin lost in this sector of her game

  • I still play this game occasionally.

  • This song reminds me of how much I miss this game...I haven't played it in over six months, and I really need to play it again.

    Ask me a year ago what my favorite game was, I'd have said Super Metroid. But I played more games, and more and more, and I just...never bothered to come back to this one.

    I'm sorry it turned out like this, Samus... *plays Super Metroid again*

  • 4 people never found Spazer.

  • @TheParnak where is it where is it where is it

    lol.

    i never beat the game,but really,wheresa the Spazer?

  • @TheMostBleedingHeart In this place where this masterpiece plays, enter a room where exactly above you just as you enter it is a breakable stone. Shoot up & use Hi jump boots or wall jumps to reach the above platform... Proceed to find cool triple laser beam arm canon upgrade called "Spazer Beam"

  • @TheParnak thanks.

    i guess id have found it if i played,but thanks.

  • THE BEST SONG (COMENTARY 1000) =p

  • I smoked up one time and fired up the metroid prime 2 version of this...mind = blown

  • Ah Super Metroid, my love for thee is unbounded.

  • do you think you would listen to this if mozart made it? it would be a freakin masterpiece, a threeway to our ears, i would dance with my wife to this on our wedding night.

  • I wish I was born during the golden age of video games, now, the only way for me to play this is on a Emulator. Hopefully I can get a computer that can play this, these songs are just amazing.

  • @GreenWolfRaider You can get this game and many other classics on the wii's virtual console dude!

  • @kitchenmark1 If i had a wii, I don't have one =P

  • @GreenWolfRaider buy one :P

  • They don't make'em like this anymore (game & music). CLASSIC.

  • You guys (who lived back in the 80/90th) remember the golden age of the Super Nintendo?

  • @torerik1234 Yes and it was amazing. This game is surely among the top 20 of that era to be sure. It's just perfect in execution. From controls to graphics to difficulty to content and not the least of all the sound. It drew you in, created menacing ambients. Your nerves were very often on edge when playing Metroid.

  • @mickthewack exactly. Of course there were some shitty games for the SNES. Like Lester the Unliky or Claymate for instance. But still Super Nintendo was the surperior of the 2D game style.

  • Oops, the music cuts out in the middle of a line. But thank you, other than that it's very nice.

  • thegoodteacher(dot)com

  • Probably the most creative game, I think.

  • sega sucked it never had games like this. SM is king in 16 bit era.

  • CHECK OUT MY VIDEO...OF DA REMAKE OF DIS..ON MY CHANNEL!!!

  • thumbs up to the first video game heroine! Before Lara Croft, Chun Li, Jill Valentine, and Claire Redfield, there was Samus Aran! And after almost 30 years, she's STILL kickin ass!

  • You can go a century and not experience a game this good.

  • dis shit is a classic!! in da process of samplin dis bih, remakin it..wit some swag!! gots to fuck wit Metroid, if u a gamer!

  • This song gives me goose bumps it's that good. I only played this game for the first time two or three years ago, so it isn't even nostalgia, just purely fantastic music!

  • this song still scares me!!!

  • Out of ALL THE GAMES i play. this song....no the WHOLE GAME just freaks me out. if anybody disagrees with me then they havent play the MOST EPIC game ever made

  • retro games > new games

  • I like this song :)

  • Man, the second I heard this song, I knew that the game was just getting started; with all the atmosphere and amazing effects just made me feel lik I was part of something huge... then 1:22... My spine tingles every time I hear that

    You may be thinking this is a nostalgic feeling from the 90s, but I actually just played this for the first time about a month ago; that's the magic of Metroid

  • ich liebe dieses lied

  • @Bippy97 :)

  • They should play this song in the supermarket. 

  • @Bippy97 that is so awesome.

  • My favorite!!!!!!!!!

  • I own a super nintendo and when I was little I would play this game. I would also play A Link to the Past too. Now I hae the games in my Wii.

  • GREATEST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF ELECTRONIC ENTERTAINMENT...NOT OCARINA,OR MARIO 64,OR TETRIS,OR MARIO 3,OR METROID PRIME,OR FINAL FANTASY 3,OR SONIC 2,OR CHRONO TRIGGER,OR DKC,OR R.E.4...(which DOES rule btw...GO LEON!!)...or S.FOX 64,OR G.T.A.-S.A,OR STREET FIGHTER 2,OR ZELDA 3,OR F.F.7...(which was epic,mind you),OR 007 AND P.D.,OR SUPER MARIO WORLD 2...(the graphics and gameplay in Yoshi's Island have to be seen to be believed)...OR ANY METAL GEAR.....SUPER MET IS THE GREATEST EVER...PERIOD..

  • true!!!

  • @TETTSUUO chill.

  • @ghostblade125 Seriously.

  • This music will mature and will taste better over time...

  • This is probably THE most iconic BGM of the 16-bit era.  Long live the CLASSICS.

  • BEST Heroine game! one of the most exotic soundtrack! ^^ this makes me want all my room wallpaper to be super metroid ^^

  • FUCK. I want this game so bad... My Super Nintendo Entertainment System is hungry :'D

  • one of the best games in gaming history FACT

  • 1:23 to 1:45....... need i say more?

  • making beat to this right now.

  • Shiiiiit. Nintendo really is the king of video game history <3 Fuck Sony and Microsoft. Listen to that track !!!

  • @ TheSqueezy

    Sony made the sound chip that was in the SNES, so you need to get your history right

  • @Shoe3003 xDDD I know, but Nintendo made these tracks ;) And the fact that Sony made that chip FOR Nintendo is a huge FAIL! :D I mean, listen to Super Mario Galaxy Music! That music is just incredible. :O

  • @ TheSqueezy

    what do you have against Sony if you like game music? not to sound like a PR for them but they've contributed a lot to the recording industry as a whole, not just in video game music. Nintendo has talented composers as well, but to say that they're the best just because they came before the Xbox and Playstation is ridiculous, you should keep a more open mind

  • this game was so fucking sick

  • Remember i was a child playing Super metroid, the atmosphere was intense.

    My Nr.1 game of all time

  • Sounds like a fucking NIN song

  • @JoeWojoJoeWojo Now that is a perfect fitting comparison.... Nine Inch Nails is not typical "rock music".... What makes NIN great is the atmosphere and the unorthodox apporach to Trent's Songs... Super Metroid is very unusual as well. The Spore Boss fight and the Maridia Sandy level also sound like somthing in Nine Inch nails... Im so glad you brought this up man, because people thought I was crazy when forming that assumption. I could also say that the music has some sexual tension as well...

  • Respond to this video...  But im serious, Joe... Thats a fucking good ear you got. Now my love for both Super Metroid and Nine Inch Nails remains stronger than ever!!!!!!

  • This game was one of the best ones I played in my childhood times. I would have my big sister beat the scary parts and I would watch most of the time. The most epic part was the music, of course.

  • i miss 1994, fuck the millinium

  • That box art is some much more awesome than the American version.

  • The music on this game has such a Vibe

  • to be honest i like this game better than the gamecube/wii metroids...

  • @liah14 its considered the best, so youre not alone ;P

  • Am i the only one who imagines the sound of samus getting hurt by lava when i hear this song?

  • this music helps me think, defo studying music! i don't find it scary though, i find it really soothing helps the brain relax and straighten up the thinkin power!

  • I wish i could go back to the year 1994, away from this shit today :).

  • HEY EVERYBODY! I used this song as a sample in a instrumental I made. Come to my page and check it out

  • i put this on when im roaming caves ine minecraft ^^

  • @CanadaOpinionsCount thats some good use of this tune

  • Comment removed

  • Mysterious...

  • got 100% yesterday. This game will never be boring to play thru, in fact I'm sure I will play this game in 20 years from now! One of the best games ever made!

  • Makes me miss my father. This game was one of those few things from my childhood that was something that just me and him did together

  • im gunna play this tomorrow when i sober up :D

  • i love this game :)

  • Imagine this: It's your first day visiting the Amazonian forest. Your walking through giant trees big plants and passing by little amazon animals.This song plays in your head while you walk and you stop look up smile then just continue on with your journey.

  • i was looking for this song and finally i found it.. great nostalgia.

  • Hands down the best metroid ever made. The first three had this feeling to them that the others couldnt match. Alone in space on some planet, dark, grungy and alone. There was a decayed feel to things thanks to the leftovers of previous civilizations. The metroids that have come out ion the past years that were 2d had a bright metal megaman feel to them and the bosses especially fusion. They were great but not what I was hoping for..... I want a dark gritty metroid game again in 2d and good ost

  • @pattikerans In my opinion, Fusion was a more enjoyable experience than Super Metroid. The ability to ledge grab, the plot... It felt less static. Super Metroid was an amazing game, and it's a legend in its own right -- but meh. I didn't necessarily enjoy the complete lack of direction, save for "find the metroid!" And Fusion has some pretty dark, eerie moments. The music and plot in the beginning of the game was terrifying when I first played it.

    Taste is subjective, I suppose. ^.^

  • @Elena9525 It may be taste, or it may be age. Did you grow up with Super Metroid, or did you grow up with Fusion? The older you are, the more you stick to the core classics. Some people who are older than me would argue that the original Metroid is even better than Super Metroid.

  • @LensOfTruth1689 I didn't grow up with Super Metroid, but I played it as a child in '90s -- well before Fusion. And that's correct... People do tend to prefer the classics if they've experienced them firsthand in their original glory. I'm more impartial and objective, though. From a technical perspective, Fusion is a fairly clear superiority to Super Metroid -- ledge grabbing, tighter control and movement, less room for exploits... It feels like Super Metroid, but it feels more refined.

  • @LensOfTruth1689 It's similar to the Zelda franchise... I personally thought Majora's Mask was better than Ocarina of Time simply because of the darker, less linear feel of the game. And I enjoyed Twilight Princess more than any other Zelda game I've played in the franchise.

  • They need to remake this game into a first person game

  • @ISetCheezOnFire they kinda have.

    Metroid Prime :)

    well,not a remake of Super Metroid,but gameplay of it was transferred to 3D really succesfully

  • @TheMostBleedingHeart metroid other m is real close to super metroid

  • @leonscottkennedyre4 what makes you say tyhat

  • @TheMostBleedingHeart because its a 3d/2d perspective.has everything super metroid does.and is based after the immediate explosion of planet zebe's so in other words its basically super metroid 2

  • @leonscottkennedyre4 hmmm....

  • @ISetCheezOnFire You have Metroid Prime for that! Super Metroid shouldnt be remade into 3D, the feeling would be destroyed! I'm not a fan of remakes whatsoever, the games should have the original glory imo :)

  • down in the depths of red soil, samus must use the subterrian hub to enter kraids lair, all the while unsure if the red walls hid a deadly enemy. she must always be prepared, even in a area as calm and low threatening as red soil, for even the calmest and most unhostile enviroments can hid a deadly foe just waiting for a helpless victim.

  • I love the awesome little intermission ... sounds so awesome

  • EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that piano is killa...

    

  • 4 people couldn't escape the ship before it blew up

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!! PLAYED THIS AS A KID, I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!

  • four people are getting nommed by Metroids.

  • makes me think of that weird purple glowing vein in the background of this area.....wut the hell wuz that???

  • torvus catacombs

    

  • This is the first Metroid game I played, I was in love.after that I went retro and killed them all.

    GREAT MUSIC for hunting Space Pirates !!!!!

  • jamais existira uma musica como esta..

  • this song makes me feel like a tranquil spirit tormented by the past walking through fields on a cloudy day and dark ...

  • Comment removed

  • Four people have never played super metroid :)

  • goddamit, i typed super metroid music and i had this music in my head, and the first choice is brinstar, goddamit i love you shang, and metroid is the most historical, emotional of all video games, i mean, super metroid makes me think about it all the night, i think of it with curiousiness, i try to find secret places in my head, this IS the game that make your brain work like hell, like mother brain! Thank you nintendo for making metroid an all-star game. Respect, extreme respect!

  • @hugo12212 right on!

  • @megustaestartrono heres my feeling, close your eyes and dive into the music, think of nothing else, only the music... Thats an awesome feeling

  • @hugo12212 lmaoooo do you sleep in a SAVE ROOM CHAMBER and go to the BEACH and KILL JELLY FISH to think theyre metroids.looool

  • @hugo12212 wowww i feel ya! had this metroid music lost in the back of my mind, youtube'd metroid music and bamm, first result. Directly sent back to my early childhood. Thank you Nintendo foreal, foreal.

  • @hugo12212 wow dude chill the fuck out

  • @Dryerlintproduction Dude get lost, go listen ur wanna be rap shit music nub =-=

  • Torvus Bog!!!

  • Is it just me, or is the Super Famicom SM box 100 TIMES MORE EPIC than the US Version?

  • lol I can't get enough of this song... I've probably seen this video like 20 times...

  • this would make a chill dubsteb song!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!

  • How has this NOT been sampled by a music producer? Hot Beat!

  • Hmmmmm this would make a chill dubstep song

  • @fadedking951 Nah... 'Tis more triphop than dubstep.

  • K CHINGONA CANCION BUENA MUSIC

  • Let's all walk in slow motion with our dark sunglasses on.

  • @OGTiago Torvus Bog Temple

  • Oh? What's that Spazer? You say I must have the High Jump Boots before I can collect you?

    *wallkicks*

  • Metroid for SNES was one of the best Games ever! That was my first game for SNES! :-) and in the beginning i was scared of the monsters in the game ! haha

  • @Thakane

    ahaha those blasted monsters!

  • 4 people pissed themselves listening to this.

  • I love the remix of this song in Metroid Prime 2

  • @reidevjord Torvus Bog

  • smoke weed ever

  • This song reminds me of the time I got stuck before getting into the deep Maridia (before f

    I found out I could break the glass with a power bomb). Trying to figure it all out. I loved this game. Maybe I'll play it tonight on my SNES.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome game with a ground breaking score

  • a real demonstration to how a limited pallete can make memorable and effective music. if this were made with an orchestra i feel it wouldnt nearly be as good.

  • im sampling this NOW!!!!

  • this game is timeless, i remember first playing it in the early 90's when i was about 4 , and it still just as fun today. easily the best game of all time.

  • I hate this track but <3 Smetroid :) and brinstar music vege

  • einfach nur geil

  • I remember feeling nostalgic when i heard this in metroid prime 2.

  • wow, why does Japan always get the awesome cover art?

    It's like they say:

    "Hey, this cover art/opening video/animation is really awesome-too awesome for the Americans. Let's take all of the details and cool stuff out of it before sending it over!"

  • @Gendo3s2k actually that was NoA's fault.

    i cant believe they painted Ridley red.

    ARe they dumb?

    hes not red,its just the lighting from Samus' beam.

    i really hate it when you Americans do that,cause usually it carries over to PAL version >_>

  • @Gendo3s2k I could easily but the japanes version yet that piece of shit writing would slow the game down for me...I might get it though and try to change the language

  • There are a lot of comments about this music being soothing, to me it's fantastic because it makes my skin crawl. It's so creepy!

  • @Dqowreorn I agree with you. It makes my hair stand up.

  • I beat this game a thousand times when it came out and I still beat it about once or twice a year since. I am 25 and plan on beating it once a year for the foreseeable future. Some games just make an impact.

  • @brianterry1986 i understand u... i never get tired of it

    i usually stay a lil doing nothing in this area to hear the song for a while lol

  • I typed in "super metroid music" and this was what came up?

    Great. Thank you. This is my favorite song in the game, and there are no single words to describe why. I played the game for first time last year as a 21 year old, and man this was some of the most atmospheric shit I've ever heard.

  • This is one of the better games I've played. also one of the better tracks I've heard. it almost sounds oriental too, with the piano. Speaking of which, I think Nintendo used Super mario world's piano samples in this. if not, something similar.

  • used to blast this track on my IPod back in the days. ah.... so relaxing
