There were so many things that made me happy in this Nintendo Direct that I needed to draw something. Here’re all my favs <3

[zekeram]

Friendly reminder that in Kirby's Dream Land 3, a level in the ice world features metroids and Samus Aran herself, and you must kill all the metroids, after which Samus gives you a piece of the Love-Love Stick. All of the pieces are required to reach the final level with the fight against Zero. Therefore it is an undeniable fact that Metroid is canon to Kirby.

Name: Skud

Debut: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

SKUD!!!! Who does not like Skud!! This charming little rocket has been terrorizing the hearts of many a Kirby 64 player since 2000, and is not stopping soon. Just look at that smile!

Kirby 64, as you may know, is a game centered around mixing and matching abilities. It's kind of a whole thing! But there's only so many enemies that were introduced to represent the seven abilities that Kirby 64 actually uses, so to keep things fresh and never stale, they made sure there were four enemies per ability; usually, most of these enemies would be brand new! Bomb is the exception, with FIVE enemies to represent it, and four of them being new ones! Skud is one of these!!

If you hadn't looked at what Skud looks like, you might be wondering what it does to earn the title of a Bomb enemy. And to that I say, look at it again! In fact, look at it again even if you did pay attention to its design, because Skud is simply that wonderful. It's a cute little rocket that aimlessly walks to and fro on ground or blocks, but once it sees Kirby, it makes its attack!

As you can guess, rather than throwing bombs like its predecessors Poppy Bros. Jr. and Jungle Bomb (the latter of which doesn't appear in Kirby 64, rest in peace), it turns into a typical missile and launches full force at Kirby, exploding once it hits something! It's kind of like Foley, in that sense, but more homing missile-y.

It is no secret that I love Skud. You love Skud! Everyone loves: Skud. But what are Skud's origins? Are they man, or machine? You first find one in front of Dedede's Castle—did Dedede create them? After all, he made his own mechanical hammer as Masked Dedede. But Skud seems so lively, and is never launched from anywhere–he just minds his own business until he Doesn't.

So, does that mean he's not mechanical? Consider, though, other enemies that protect (another one of) Dedede's castle(s) include Moto Shotzo and Plugg, indisputably living machines! And I haven't mentioned this, but Skud loses his face and feet in favor of fins when he launches!

Personally, I think that Skuds are like ants–they're alive, they're organic, but they just love to self-destruct for fun! And what about how they lose their faces when launching, you might ask? Maybe they feel bad whenever Kirby cries out in pain and don't want to show it! After all, for them this is just playing around!

I feel it worth noting that Bomb is one of the few abilities in Kirby 64 that, when combined with itself, does NOT make an 'enhanced' version of the original ability! Instead, Kirby starts shooting homing missiles out of his mouth...which look VERY MUCH like Skud! While these are faceless, slim and long, there's no mistaking those striking white-with-red-details-colored rockets for anything else. It's a really cute detail, and makes Skud all the more special!

Please look at Skud

Fellas, I have been listening to a shit ton of remixes on the Prime Trilogy and once more I need to let loose my autism unto this hellsite

I fucking love Dark Samus

I really fucking love Dark Samus

I don't know if any of you know this, but I FUCKING LOVE Dark Samus, like she is my top Metroid Antagonists, topping even the SA-X or Raven Beak (Raven Beak is genuinely on top but I'll get to him in another post) or Ridley and others.

Why?

Well that's what this post is about

So who the fuck is Dark Samus? Or really, WHAT IS Dark Samus??

(Source is from the Metroid Wiki channel on Youtube. I use the original version instead of the remastered because the lighting in the remastered version of this cutscene is a bit fucked despite the better-detailed models. You can see the eye on the palm much more clearly as its pupil dilates to adjust to the lighting of the room. look I'm an autist for these details, I want you all to see them in all their glory as much as I have growing up)

DARK SAMUS My beloved

Dark Samus is more or less part of the "dark doppelganger" troupe in nintendo games, with the important caveat that unlike other such doppelgangers like Dark Link or Dark Kirby from the Magical Mirror games, Dark Samus' originated from the destroyed remains of the METROID PRIME, the final boss of the first game in the Prime Trilogy.

After Samus murders the shit out of the Metroid Prime, it manages to steal the Phazon Suit she used to get into the Impact Crater, which by extension also contained the DNA of Samus. With this, this ressurection of the Metroid Prime, reconstructed using this Phazon Suit and the DNA it acquired became what we know today: Dark Samus, a Metroid Hybrid - the first of its kind, long before Samus would eventually have Metroid DNA spliced into her during the opening events of Fusion.

(Dark Samus' final concept art, found in the Metroid Prime 2 concept gallary)

Dark Samus' design in prime 2 is something I adore to the utmost extreme. Its this wholly-organic Varia-adjacent suit with exposed, dark blue musculature. She has a clawed hand, feett, and an arm cannon too and its visor isn't just a visor but is entirely integrated into her body. In essence, She isn't just a living suit, She has used the Varia Suit as a basis to reconstruct her ENTIRE god damn body, right down to the arm cannon and the pauldrons and the visor too. THIS IS HER ZERO SUIT! So if anyone comes up to you and shows you a picture of Emo Zero Suit Samus and calling it Zero Suit Dark Samus, know that that is FAKE and WRONG and ENTIRELY INACCURATE to the ELDRITCH HORROR MADE REALITY.

Its a shame that the Gamecube wasn't really that powerful enough to truly show off just how organic this Dark Samus design was, especially given the pauldrons have these scrolling phazon textures poking out of the holes in her pauldrons that could really do well with an up-ressing of her model. Hopefully the remaster does this justice. Her morphball form, too, deserves an equal amount of justice given the concept art that exists of it

(Source is again from the concept art of MP2. VERY SPOOKY.)

Anyways, Dark Samus comes equipped with her own arsenal too, uniquely her own with a few exceptions, such as a Phazon Scatterbeam, a thin phazon laser thats almost akin to a more focused hyper beam that Raven Beak uses, an energy shield much akin to the phazon suit she used to reconstruct herself, alongside a ramming attack that's kinda akin to her own shinespark or screw attack (prime style of course), and the obvious Super Missiles and Boost Ball that she has in her first and second encounter. Eventually she'll even gain a Cloaking Field that can only be detected via the Dark Visor or the Echo Visor, and eventually super charging herself to even throw out pure phazon at Samus in her third and final fight.

There was a cut bad ending to Dark Samus' fight where she would have stolen the Light Suit from Samus (to reflect the time she had stolen the Phazon Suit in MP1) and gone off to let Aether get destroyed and

Jesus Christ, I love it.

You can see how it takes direct inspiration from the Metroid Prime as well, given her head and pauldrons have those spikes alongside the red and orange highlights on her armor, but it ALSO has a sort of luminoth inspiration to it too. It has a metallic, shelled sheen to it with two-pronged feet, a sort of completed hand and her arm cannon looking less round and more reminiscent of her Prime 3 design. It would EVENTUALLY see the light of day as inspiration for her overall Metroid Prime 3 design, but I still wish I could model it and bring it to life for other Metroid Fans to use.

In Prime 3, her design is switched again to something more akin to a shelled crab. ...now the Wii's graphics aren't... ENTIRELY REPRESENTATIVE of her design...

It's...not BAD, but you can't really tell if its organic or metallic in nature.

Smash Ultimate does this design justice at the very least. You can tell its more chitinous in nature compared to Prime 3's low-res renders

This has her having a more traditional suit design compared to Prime 2, and while the latter's design will always be my all-time favorite, this one is great too.

In Prime 3 her arsenal is expanded too, as she can control the Phazon on Phaaze to create pillars of the stuff for cover, split herself into multiple copies that act semi-independently of her (dubbed Echoes, funnily enough), She is by all means and purposes - a fucking POWERHOUSE of a creature in her own right.

Eventually she is "permanently" killed off in Prime 3, as confirmed by the director Kensuke Tanabe, but I still have hope that maybe one day she could return later on in the metroid timeline, because god dammit. She was THE ONLY other metroid hybrid in the franchise, right there with Samus as of now. Samus is honestly more closely related to Dark Samus now than she ever has been in the franchise, save for the Phazon mutagen Dark Samus had consisted of.

Hell, there's even a bit of a character arc with her where she started off as the Metroid Prime - this solely monstrous, instinctual creature mindlessly consuming Phazon and assimilating weaponry onto itself, before reconstructing itself as Dark Samus proper - still instinctual in a sense, but with a growing intelligence that really shines in the climax of the trilogy with Prime 3 - leading entire raids against the Federation with Space Pirates and showing a sense of companionship with the other metroids/phastroids she interacted with whiles showing how cruel she could be towards the surviving feddies of the Valhalla.

It's so much so that ever since Dread dropped its been a dream of mine to realize a climatic battle between Metroids.

THE LAST METROID VS THE PRIME METROID

If you will.

GOD, I fucking love Dark Samus. She honestly stacks so high up even against the X as my other favorite metroid antagonist that I wish more was done with her before the eventual climatic ending with Prime 3. I hope this was enough to also gain your interest in this fascinating mutant metroid made humanoid.

Next up on the list, the Chozo - including Grey Voice, Old Bird, Raven Beak and Quiet Robe of course.

[ 📹 Wounded civilians, including a young child, are brought to a hospital in Gaza after the Israeli occupation forces bombed a residential home belonging to the Shaat family in the Maraj neighborhood, northeast of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday. 📈 The death toll in Gaza has risen again, now exceeding 36'171 Palestinians killed, while another 81'420 others have been wounded since Oct. 7th, 2023. ]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

236 DAYS OF GENOCIDE IN GAZA: ISRAELI TANKS ROLL THROUGH CENTRAL RAFAH, WHITE HOUSE CLAIMS ISRAELI OCCUPATION DOES NOT VIOLATE BIDEN'S RED LINE, OCCUPATION BOMBS TENTS IN 'SAFE ZONE' OF AL-MAWASI, GENOCIDE CONTINUES UNABATED

On 236th day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 6 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 75 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 284 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands, of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

"The Israelis have said this was a tragic mistake," US National Security spokesperson, John Kirby, makes excuses for the Israeli occupation's bombing of a UNRWA displacement camp for Palestinian refugees in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, north of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, two nights ago that resulted in the deaths of at least 45 Palestinians and wounded 249 others.

The response came after Kirby was asked whether the slaughter in the displacement camp qualified as the kind of "death and destruction" Biden claimed he didn't want to see in Rafah, drawing a "red line" at an Israeli invasion of Gaza's southernmost city.

Kirby claimed the US doesn't have "a measuring stick here or a quota," going on to add that "We've also said we don't want to see a major ground operation in Rafah that would really make it hard for the Israelis to go after Hamas without causing extensive damage and potentially a large number of deaths. We have not seen that yet."

This comes at the same time as Israeli tanks and armored vehicles have been confirmed to have advanced into eastern, western and central Rafah, including Merkava tanks and remotely controlled M113 armored personnel carriers, which the Israeli media says are conducting operations "east of Rafah and advancing towards the center and west of the city."

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stated that "our forces are operating in Rafah with the aim of disbanding the Hamas battalions in Rafah, rocket launchers, heavy artillery, ammunition and terrorist tunnels."

Occupation forces are also operating along the "Philadelphi axis," south of Rafah, which they claim have discovered dozens of tunnels leading from Gaza into the Egyptian Sinai.

Occupation army officials were quoted in the Hebrew media as saying that "the operation in Rafah is progressing precisely with all the complexities- a million people have already been evacuated [forcefully displaced] from the city."

The Israeli occupation forces also said that the "Nahal Brigade," led by the 162nd Division is fighting in ongoing operations in Rafah, destroying so-called "terrorist infrastructure."

In the meantime, the Israeli occupation committed a new horrific massacre of innocent civilians, when occupation warplanes fired several missiles into the tents of displaced Palestinian refugees in the Al-Mawasi area, northwest of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing at least 21 civilians and wounding 64 others, at least 10 of whom remain in critical condition.

In response to the purposeful massacre, the Israeli occupation disavowed their responsibility for the strike, claiming on Tuesday evening that "contrary to reports received in the past few hours, the Israeli army did not attack the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi," without elucidating on the details.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Hamas resistance movement stated that the "Zionist enemy" continues to "target the tents of displaced people west of Rafah, and commit a new massacre that claimed the lives of dozens of martyrs and wounded."

Hamas went on to state that the Israeli occupation is "actively challenging the decisions of the International Court of Justice through his decision to directly and deliberately target the largest number of civilians."

The Israeli occupation authorities had previously designated the Al-Mawasi area a "safe zone," and did not call for the evacuation of civilians from the heavily damaged neighborhood.

According to local reporting, the targeted displacement camp, filled with the tents of civilian families, was located just 100 meters from the American field hospital, west of Rafah.

Meanwhile, a number of civilians, including young children, were slaughtered overnight, while other residents were wounded, in an Israeli airstrike on the Khan Yunis Governate.

According to local correspondants, Zionist warplanes bombed a residential home belonging to the Abu Jazar family in the Ma'an neighborhood, south of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of several civilians, including children, and wounded a number of others who were taken to the European Gaza Hospital in the city.

Several more civilians were killed after Israeli fighter jets bombed a house belonging to the Sharat family, near the government clinic in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City.

Similarly, Israeli aircraft targeted a residential home belonging to the Yassin family in the Mufti's land area, north of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

IOF Merkava tanks have also been stationed in the central areas of the Yabna Refugee Camp, next to the Al-Huda Mosque in Rafah, in addition to advancing near the Care Junction, adjacent to the Ali Ibn Abi Talib Mosque, and also penetrated areas of the Al-Awda, Al-Najma, and Al-Sharqi neighborhoods.

Occupation Merkava tanks and armored personnel carriers were also witnessed advancing in the Burqa Stadium, and into the central areas of the Shaboura Camp, while Israeli missiles and artillery shelling bombed resident's homes at random, intermittently.

Israeli warplanes and vehicles also fired machine guns towards civilian homes in central and western Rafah, and also in the vicinity of the Tal Zu'rob neighborhood, southwest of the city.

Similarly, Zionist air forces bombed a house belonging to the Al-Ghurra family in the vicinity of the Abdullah Azzam Mosque, in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, resulting in the martyredom of 5 civilians and wounding a number of others.

Israeli occupation forces also killed Dr. Issam Rawhi Muhammad Aql, a doctor with the Al-Quds Hospital, who was murdered in his home in the Bureij Camp, in central Gaza, according to a report by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

The mass murder of Palestinians continued when Zionist air forces targeted a residential house belonging to the Hamdan family in the New Camp area of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, wounding three Palestinians who were transported to Al-Awda Hospital in the camp.

Neighborhoods east of Gaza City also experience intense gunfire from Israeli military vehicles, while occupation aircraft bombarded the western neighborhoods of the Jabalia Refugee Camp, in Gaza's north, resulting in several casualties.

Israeli airstrikes also pummeled areas of central and western Rafah, coinciding with artillery and tank shells fired into residential buildings.

In yet another war crime, Zionist warplanes bombed a gathering of civilians in the Kaf al-Mashrou area, east of the city of Rafah, resulting in civilian deaths and dozens of other casualties.

Civilians were also killed in an IOF bombing near Al-Iskan Al-Abyad, west of the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood of Rafah.

At the same time as Israeli tanks station themselves in neighborhoods across Rafah, Merkava tanks were also seen establishing control over neighborhoods east of the Jabalia Camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, advancing through blocks 1-8 while detonating residential homes and buildings in the area.

In another series of assaults, at least 9 civilians were killed, including a doctor, near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, while several others were killed and wounded in a strike on the town of Beit Hanoun.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among the Palestinian population has increased to 36'171 killed, including upwards of 10'000 women and over 15'000 children, while another 81'420 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.
