Super Metroid Music-Maridia(1)

[TemporalPhysicist]

No other piece of music will ever achieve the epic combination of wonder, tranquillity, mysteriousness, loneliness and creepiness that this piece has.

[norfairaffair]

Super Metroid is the BEST in the series, I have to give Metroid on NES the 2nd best with Prime (1) coming in a VERY close 3rd. Gumpei Yokoi (hope I spelled that right) R.I.P, created a masterpiece with Super Metroid

[musicalsteve82]

This is good music for the paramedics to put a corpse in a body bag to.

[Goronorfair]

Dammit, i'm crying.

[simplebodo]

I never sawed that cover before.

[102alexe]

this is making me remember when i was stuck in maridia for 3 hour

[globaltrance86]

i keep expecting the hear the air bubble sounds that come from samus's helmet. it's so awesome

[cassidy0998]

this sounds kinda like that eminem song leave dat boy alone - no joke

[ShadieWolf94]

this song is always so beautiful. I love it so much it gives me chills

[zxscd]

They should have this remade in Other M or the Primes...

[AlexxLH1412]

Forever Alone

[DrKnockOut1115]

@XxDeathByCoconutxX Ever heard of trolls?

[youpijaja]

vvvfffiiuuutvvvfffiiuuutvvvfff­iiuuutvvvfffiiuuutvvvfffiiuuut­vvvfffiiuuutvvvfffiiuuut

[graveheart1138]

Best music in the game!! You should have let it play for longer!!

[Ardomew]

Every time I hear this theme, I immediately think of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. :P

[JuanTheReptile]

@Ardomew lol

[sooperkid321]

i have this artwork tattooed on my entire shin.

[TheEscapefromReality]

@sooperkid321 upload a pic!

[garchauro]

Sounds like a tune for Chrono Trigger or Castlevania... Very emotional.

[Waluiginumberone]

Mysterious, eerie, creepy, sad, melancholic, lonely...All these things crammed into one SNES song. Impressive. Extremely impressive.

[Geskleithron]

This is my favorite Super Metroid piece! However, the one person who didn't like it, is apparently all alone in doing so, all alone, just like Samus... :)

[pcred566]

@Geskleithron =D Epic statement! =D

[watts1260]

I respect your guys opinions, but i don't see how anyone can think other m was terrible. I thought it brought all the elements that made these amazing 2D games fun into a 3D environment. I actually bought it with low hopes because i didn't care for prime as much as these good old classics, but once i started playing i was hooked.

[DeedMDavid]

@watts1260 Eh, the game was a bit weak across the board, or at least in comparison to other 'Metroid' games. Even compared to 'Fusion', it felt pretty easy and on rails. The art direction could have also been so much better, and to me, a lot of it felt unsatisfying.

It's still a good game, but it's not something which I could see myself coming back to.

[watts1260]

@DeedMDavid Yeah, my only complaint would be 1. It wasn't all that difficult compared to the NES game and Super Metroid. 2. It was way to short. And 3. The tedious "find the minute detail" annoying parts that I could see no real point in having included in the game. But as far as the art goes, that doesn't play a huge role in whether I like a game or not, just a bonus. But I think it's a good base to make future Metroid games. I'd prefer this style over the FPS Metroid games.

[DrKnockOut1115]

@watts1260 What people really hate is Samus' characterization.

[grinreaper00]

this music makes me sad/happy and melancolic at the same time

[lastblade3]

i remember getting stuck here. Maridia was the biggest area in the game wasn't it?

[marcnangelu]

i like this music

[AustinParker61]

is it just me or does this sound like the water temple from zelda ocarina of time

[marcnangelu]

@AustinParker61 yea man fuck yea

[Bruno1986BR]

I'm very surprised to see this music is one of the favourite of Metroid fans. I always liked it very much, but I thought people would think me silly, because this music is slow, calm, peaceful and beautiful, not a fast rock one. I'm really glad to know people still enjoy calm musics like this one.

[Jamiesyme999]

The most well rounded metroid game ever made, perfect atmosphere through vision and sound. One of the top 5 games on Super Nintendo

[TheGatoDelFuego]

possibly, to this day, the only thing more creepy than MP3's xenoresearch/valhalla...and that's saying a LOT

[messedrocker]

This music gives me chills, even to this day.

[aznpezz]

@messedrocker ALL super metroid music gives me chills, even to this day.

[BM5072]

@twilightsonic Because FF7's music sounds NOTHING like Super Metroid's. Not only that, not all the music in the game fits the correct atmosphere or scenario presented in 7. In Super Metroid, it seems to go together perfectly, no matter where you are in that game. ESPECIALLY in the Wrecked Ship. FF7's music, as iconic as it is, just doesn't work in a lot of places.

[sooperkid321]

Im currently in the process of getting this artwork tattooed on my leg. because super metroid is the greatest game ever.

[BM5072]

@twilightsonic Disgraceful comment. Super Metroid's music, in terms of sheer quality, is far superior to FF7's. FF7's is much more iconic, but this is just better.

[SuperMario811]

I love this song. It was basically the only song, besides Lower Norfair, on Super Metroid that didn't creep me out, surprisingly; However, it give me a depressing and sad feeling, and it makes me want to cry. That's why I like it so much. :)

[Feddyken]

This music was always a bit haunting to me. Wondering what lurked behind every door, every rock.

Almost as if they wanted you to feel around. It sounded like a song revolving around loss.

[dandanwii]

love it...

[shawniscrumpx2]

this is a creepy theme, yet it fits perfectly for an underwater theme

[grinreaper00]

this song makes me remember old times and at the same time it makes me sad...

[TheJoshMaster22]

I know some people are going to hate me for this. But I think this music is more fitting for Lower Torvus Bog.

[dhionatham2]

This music makes me feel like: "What is beyond that door?" or else "There is something wrong with this place." *o*

[BrunoSan1986]

This music is so beautiful, makes me feel so calm and relaxed. I love this music very much. Damn! I LOVE METROID!!!!!!!!!!

[djkabraDJKABRA]

i invite you to see my trance mix test of maridia, i hope in this week i finish complete. but you can enjoy the melodie of lower norfair trancemix i perform. only click in djkabraDJKABRA to go to my channel and enjoy and comment. bye

[H3TCykaCT0]

When I was like 8 I remember my Mom makin' me breakfast while I played just a lil' bit more until I had to go to school. I can practically smell pancakes right now. I also smell weed.

[SuperMario811]

I like this theme of Maridia a lot. It's the complete opposite of the other theme! ;)

[leandrusi]

man playing this fucking game as a child made me a musician!

SUPER METROID 4 EVER !!!!!

[Cazametroides]

I always remember Maridia as the coolest place of the Metroid saga, thanks to this music

[barneybros]

I almost shit my pants whenI heard those music. I was terrified.

[Darkstepper219]

i am gettin so damn nostalgic. i must've logged 5 years worth of time on this game.

[RonixEnclave]

Super Metroid was so eerie..Something Metroid Prime series lacked.

Super Metroid really just made you feel like you were far of in space, alone, by yourself on a dangerous planet.

[sighyourhero]

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's just plain alien.

[GamerThreeThousand]

Very true, Super Metroid was just really creepy, eerie, lonely, and suspenseful. I FUCKING LOVED THAT GAME!!!

[devious222]

exactly what i was thinking.. i remember genuinely being scared and wanting to gtfo out certain rooms just because it was so eerie and empty. the mood and atmosphere really gave you a sense of loneliness... that was somehow lacking in the mp series.

[superawesom3]

@devious222 Echoes had it to but not as much as super metroid

[DavetzWin]

@RonixEnclave

Prime lacked? what the fuck are you smoking?

Everything you said also applies to Prime, Prime is a masterpiece.

[RonixEnclave]

@DavetzWin Prime wasn't foreboding and spooky. Super Metroid was the masterpiece :)

[DavetzWin]

@RonixEnclave

I thought it was spooky! anyway, they are both masterpieces, I love Metroid and still play Super to this day, so fun to speedrun it.

[RonixEnclave]

@DavetzWin Well I hope we can both agree that Other M was awful

[DavetzWin]

@RonixEnclave

It was beyond awful in my opinion, I'll try to forget that game, in a sense.

I hope Nintendo doesn't forget it, though, they need to remember their mistakes.

[Rezorok7]

@DavetzWin

Amen.

Other M is a game like Wind Waker where fans either love it or hate it.

The breaking point for me was the weak voice acting for Samus.

[Lioyd1rving]

@RonixEnclave Wut. Prime had plenty of eerie stuff going on. Those Phazon mines...And I won't even begin on the entire Dark world in Prime II. :v

[Bogskinke]

@RonixEnclave The first prime game captured it pretty well. Not nearly as good as Super Metroid, but still pretty great.

Metroid Prime 2 and 3 on the other hand, not so much.

[psyco96]

hey metroid fans check this out its FUCKING awesome!

/watch?v=xLNCZuvBHHw

[Weeeooojr]

wow!

[ShabobaX]

I think in terms of atmosphere, Maridia had the most intense in the game.

[future4zinc]

and I mean those human puppets but at the end its like they all disappear and you live

[44dman44]

The thing with Maridia is that its like giant maze you go one way you might end-up out of the area, and if you g another way you might find your way to draygon (or not)

[future4zinc]

it sounds like a evil puppet hospital

[wastedwithin]

They could use this in a Metroid Prime game... if they make anymore.

[MetroidsEATYou]

Metroid: Other M.... there you go...

[Medevenx]

Sounds like an ending theme for a scary murder movie.

[Airking4321]

TINGLES....ARE GOING....UP MAH BACK....

*shudder*

[Omegaknuckles]

...Just feels like I could float away. What a truly dank tune.

[BigRedScouser]

i hated that place lol. Still love the game but I wanted to be in and out of Maridia as fast as possible lol.

[haveajerk]

little fish

[ApolloSol]

OMG THE MEMORIES!!!!! CREEPY, YET SO ATMOSPHERIC! Great tune. Fit well with Super Metroid. I wish the Metroid Prime series was as atmospheric as Super Metroid. I love metroid prime but... I miss that super metroid feel...

SUPER METROID....

GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME!

[garra1992]

Maridia is my favorite place in the game because of the atmosphere, this music of course, it was underwater, and it has my second favorite boss in the game. DRAYGON!!!

[29394419485298585495]

Yea Maridia is an awesome lvl. I have yet to complete it. I think I got stuck lol.

[deCraze888]

Why is it cut short? Where's the full version.

[RoyboyX]

I love this song. I want it to be played at my funeral.

[DogHouseRiley1990]

this is that PERFECT mysterious underwater theme?....scary at the same time

[Gainrrom]

Creepiest friggin music in the whole game.

[DrDoom343]

I personally found the other Maridia music creepier. I think it has a less mysterious and more suspenseful feel.

[numbingpain]

Nearly tear inducing. Better than Radiohead!

[zsybrant]

Well, I'm gonna go play some Super Metroid now. (Maridia's music has that effect on me...same with Brinstar Red Soil...)

[NinjaDude03]

The only reason i like maridia is because of this:)

[Shockwave6666]

awesome maridia are one of my favourite places in super metroid

[TheTrueUSASoldier]

This music is so relaxing, it gives a creepy yet refreshing feel to it like you are meditating, in a lush, quiet forest, somewhere where you are all alone. I like it.

[hardcoredirengreyfan]

God this music is most memorable to me because I was always stuck in this part the longest.

[metroidloser]

tears?

well ive never had tears while listening to music but this is a very dreamy song even though madridia is full of freak crabs that ram you and carnivorus fish with spines all over em!

[zsybrant]

Ah, what a melodic reminder that on Zebes, you're all alone...

All alone...

[bigbrutus2007]

couldn've said it better my self

[Xero0000]

@zsybrant All alone, in the midst of the planet. No one around, no one can hear your scream... not a soul...

[Hendrikspan101]

@zsybrant Forever alone?

:P

[zsybrant]

@Hendrikspan101 Dude, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have even noticed my comment got 50 likes. That's fucking baller.

neveralone.jpeg

[Hendrikspan101]

@zsybrant your Welcome

[EvilWilderness]

This level indeed brought me tears the longer you hear this music. Fun memories of the level theme Maridia!!

[dataridden]

Notice I said when I was younger. Now the level just bores me to tears.

[superfossi]

you had to play in a short part of this area without the gravitysuite which was tedious as all hell

[Mrpwnage2244]

DAMMIT MARIDIA!!! WHY MUST YOU KEEP HIDING THAT CURSED SPRINGBALL FROM MEH!!! D:<< It always takes me days to get the jelly dude in that exact spot and then jump on him..

[SilverPwns]

Is that the item where when in morphball form, you may perform a jump?

[Mrpwnage2244]

yep =)

[NinjaDude03]

It's called the spring ball, it lets you bounce while in Samus's morph ball form.

[Kiorrik]

God I love the comments on videos like this.

Anyway, I agree with lots of the stuff posted below. It's creepy as hell, it works good at putting you to sleep, reminds you of the bloody annoying quicksand, the loneliness, etc.

All in all the entire Metroid Soundtrack (and the game itself) was just so damn captivating... It all worked together to really pull you into that suit of armour.

Hell, I actually felt like I was that metroids father in the end :x

Damn mother brain.

[subzerogt4]

HATED THIS PLACE!!!!back when i was a kid id be too scared to play lol.now i go there everytime i play it on the wii because its so amazing.how the times have changed

[dataridden]

I know what you mean. This place scared me when I was younger...but it also pissed me off because of the second part of the level with the quick sand...ah good times.

[OniScythe]

this song always gave me the creeps when i was a kid. now its kinda kewl :)

[MisterRioes]

this is the best video game music ever imo

[ApolloEspeon]

underwater frigate song was losely based on this

[Dachink]

goddamn Maridia.

[ShangTsung2]

this and underwater frigate from prime 1 can make me go to sleep..its so soothing...now that i listen to it closely...it sorta sounds similar to the underwater frigate theme..

[shadowf0x96]

@ShangTsung2 i fucking hated those levels. The rest of the games were ok. I can wait till Metroid Dread.

[Squire2222]

fave song from metroid. really gives a desolate feel to the first underwater bits of the game, the sad harmless-looking fish also seem to fit aswell

[40warrior]

the loneliest sounding music ever

[zsybrant]

It's so ethereal, isn't it? It reminds you of how alone you really are on Zebes...

[DevilDoom]

that and it also reminds you of how your stuck with monsters.

[Panzernakr]

Why don't you have the song for Crateria in the beginning? when the space pirates first appear in it?

[Panzernakr]

Why don't you have the song for Crateria in the beginning? when the space pirates first appear in it?

[Fireescapeman]

This is my second favourite track in the game.

I love the 'Relics of the Chozo' Remix album, especially the version of this track they run,

Avien - Noumenon (Maridia 2 Theme)

I also love Protricity's Full of life track (Green Brinstar)

[Lyrelia]

Also, one of my favorite songs and areas in the game. It epitomizes Samus the aloof bounty hunter to me. Very quiet, haunting, and undisturbed.

[rorschach1]

I could easily see this song being a Trent Reznor song.

[Lyrelia]

Trent Reznor? Super Metroid? Trent Reznor Super Metroid remixes? Does someone have a towel? I think my brain just creamed itself.

[arfbarfultima]

Hmm...

Alot of the music in Prime are remixes of SM...

[JToTheP2]

Super Metroid is truly the best, and one of the top 5 games ever made for a reason. The Music, game play, everything is proof.

[fiveMIRrOrs]

All the super metroid songs had this weird feeling but this one really shows it. It somehow kinda gets out of the game under your skin...

[jhoacus]

i love this song

[Miraculix2107]

SUPER METROID 4 EVER!!!!!!

[ShangTsung2]

YEAH!!!!

[manyturk]

creep creep creep

[mectroid]

This song kinda calmed me I dont know why?...

[northpark307]

i was always creeped out here. i hated the big water boss!

[ELcarajosINACIO]

new metriod was gay this one is the best ,i still play it on my super nintendo.

[ShangTsung2]

I have to disagree with that!!

The new Metroid games are just as great as this one!!

[ELcarajosINACIO]

well i actually play them but it doesnt feel like im playing metroid.

[superawesom3]

@ShangTsung2 im srry but u have to play it again and get a second opinion

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

@ShangTsung2 the only problem that they are too much linear, and you dont have free control of samus like in super metroid, am i right?

[jjbro1]

i play it on my super nintendo emulator!

[PiesCanFly]

Play Metroid Prime. Prime 2, Prime 3, and Hunters stray from the series a lot, but Metroid Prime is absolutely amazing and similar to Super Metroid in a lot of ways.

[Fireescapeman]

ZSNES for the win, especially as it allows people to play the Super Metroid Redesign which is incredible, it is like playing the original for the first time again. The feeling of not knowing where to go and freedom of exploration is great.

I liked the original Prime game, only because it was so long since Super Metroid and I needed my fix of bounty hunting.

[Thewheatcracker]

always gives me goosebumps...ill just idle the game here for a while and think... great song!

[TheRagnarokSeeker]

Don't...wake...me....up...mmmm

~falls asleep; drools~

[MetroidMadness]

Kinda spooky, with a forlorn feel to it... I like it

[OmegaRidleyX]

This song was pretty cool, but the other maradia one was better (brinstar red soil).

[dmkrodan]

OMG ... HERE IT IS.. this is my favorite game song of all time !

[TempestDragon59]

This sounds even more haunting than the normal Maridia theme!!!

[ShangTsung2]

yup!

[ShangTsung2]

This is the song when you first enter what is known as Maridia!

[dmkrodan]

Thanks dude!!!

5/5
