Is the Planet Zebes music from Smash 64 in any of the Metroid games?
yeah, that theme would be from the original game

a lot of people don't seem to realize this, but the MP music for metroid prime 2 is actually a remix of that theme

can you wall jump

took me the longest time trying to figure out how it works, but it's so much fun
You can wall jump?!
yee, it's kinda tricky though

technically, there's a couple of monkey-like creatures in green brinstar that demonstrate how to do it, but even then, it won't be 100% clear what you're supposed to do button-wise

being able to figure out stuff like this for myself is one of my favorite things about the game, so i'll just put it in a spoiler

Spoiler
if you do a spin jump towards a wall, then hit the opposite direction as soon as you touch it, you'll notice that samus's sprite will change

if you hit A at this point with proper timing, she'll jump off the wall, which can be done repeatedly to climb up just about any vertical shaft that doesn't have a ceiling or something blocking you

i've made numerous attempts at completing a living dex in the past, but when you start obliging me to move my ass over to a gamestop several hours away to ask some snotty apathetic employee for a fucking magearna or whatever the fuck, just to drive all the way back because i'm not getting literally anything else, you are asking WAY too much of me

All done: completed the Living Dex with my girlfriend this weekend. I now have a save file with every single pokemon organized numerically. Includes every form of every evolutionary line (so not just getting a charmandar and evolving it into charizard, but having an individual charmander, charmeleon and charizard) as well as all the legendary / mythical / event pokemon #1-721 (including the likes of Volcanion, Meloetta, Genesect...). All obtained legit, got maybe 1 or 2 through online trades (if any at all). Also includes around 150+ shiny pokemon. A bunch of them are fakes gotten through (wonder)trades but dozens of them are as legit as can be.
congratulations

it doesn't count unless they all have competitive builds, though

what's your favorite thing about the game so far? for me it's the atmosphere

i've found that the game is best played alone in a dark room at night—i haven't had a more immersive experience playing a game

Playing as Samus made me buy Super Metroid. It's a game I've always wanted to play but never had a chance to because my older brother had a Genesis instead of a SNES.
welcome to the best game of all time enjoy your stay

what the fuck
the fight itself is also interesting for several reasons, because the abyss is such a weirdly perfect location to have the fight—it removes all depth perception, making it so the kings look farther away than they really are (which i always thought was an interesting effect) and allows both parties to have free movement, since there's literally nothing to keep your eye on but the boss itself

having more kings spawn the longer you take to defeat them is also an interesting mechanic

i'm honestly struggling to think of what not to like about it, really, unless you just don't like tougher bosses

even the music, which tends to range from bad-to-mediocre in this game, was one of the better themes

>four kings in top 3
they're fun! i tend to favor the most conventionally difficult bosses because fighting them is super intense and it feels orgasmic when you finally take them out

also they have a cool design

Hmmm who could possibly have such an obvious art style 🤔
>looking at enough shadman porn to be able to recognize the art style

why would you admit to doing this

so is it just me or is the numbering of the characters really bothersome

like, it seems so inconsistent. the third party characters arent all together, characters arent grouped by series

i thought it was based on the characters first appearance, but thats not right either

help
they're ordered by first appearance in a smash game, not in general

first of all, echo fighters are grouped with the character they're echoing because duh

01-08 is the initial smash 64 roster, in order in which they're identified in the original intro

09-12 are 64's unlockable characters, in seemingly arbitrary order (Luigi and Captain Falcon appear simultaneously in the intro, with Ness and Jigglypuff showing up after, yet the ultimate order is luigi/ness/falcon/puff, so i dunno what's going on there)

then we get to the melee newcomer starters (13-17), which is an interesting case, because instead of going by melee's disc intro, they actually chose to go by the trailer they showed at E3, when the game was first revealed to the public

for the disc intro, it goes like this: Peach, Bowser, Ice Climbers, Zelda, and Sheik—which is close, but does not correspond perfectly with ultimate's ordering, where Sheik is listed before Zelda

this is because there's a very slight difference between the two intros: the original E3 intro doesn't show Zelda at all; just another clip of Sheik throwing some needles—the familiar Zelda clip of her using Din's Fire was added later when the game actually came out, and that's why Sheik is listed before Zelda

18-26 are all of melee's unlockable characters, and i honestly couldn't tell you what they're going by here—they seem to be ordered roughly by who would be most likely for the average player to unlock first (with Dr. Mario and Pichu being considered "early" unlocks, and Mewtwo and Mr. G&W being considered "late" unlocks), but that's just a spitball

then we get to the brawl characters, and i think you get the idea by now

27-31 is Meta Knight, Pit, Zero Suit Samus, Wario, and Snake, which is the exact order in which they were revealed in Brawl's extremely memorable E3 trailer which i don't even think i need to link, and the rest (i believe) are based on the order in which they were posted about on brawl's old blog site, the Smash Dojo

from there it's pretty straightforward i think, you get the idea
