#omega metroid

[sepublic]

Fun fact! When I first played Samus Returns, I wasn’t all too familiar with Metroid lore, particularly when it came to the Metroid life cycle. I’d played Fusion beforehand so I knew the Omega was the final stage, but hadn’t paid enough attention to the background when you find the Metroid breeding lab to internalize the amount of stages between; Plus Samus Returns redesigned them, so there was still something pretty new to look forward to. I wondered how the Omega would look in that game, and knew Ridley was the final boss. So after encountering the Omega Metroid, I thought that’s it! That’s all there is to see of the Metroid life cycle, what cool creatures!

Imagine me being surprised when the number goes up at the end of the game, leading to actual larvae being fought; Something I’d waited for the whole game since that form is so much more iconic. But after one increase, I don’t expect another and there’s just one more; I may or may not have suspected this to be the infant that is doomed in Super Metroid.

And then I dropped through a destructible block and was utterly blindsided by the shot of the ginormous Queen in the background. I wasn’t even entirely sure what I was looking at, at first; What the hell is that, and then I realized it had to have been some particularly powerful, actually final stage of Metroid. Way too big to be an Omega, but wasn’t the Omega supposed to be the final form?

And it was only after doing research upon completing the game that I understood what this thing was, and how it was neglected in Fusion because the Queen is an atypical stage (hence why a skimmed online source would call the Omega the final stage), plus Fusion didn’t want to reuse a final boss for what would be a shorter endgame segment. Because of that tasteful restraint, I got one of my favorite shocks ever and I love it.

We have an interesting matchup here: Mother Brain, the rogue biomechanical mastermind who kicked off the series, and the Omega Metroid, the final stage of Metroid evolution. Who will make it to the next round? The first antagonist, or one of the very Metroids she helped spread across the galaxy?

Maytroid 2024

So for May I participated in a fun challenge named ‘Maytroid’. It’s been going for a few years & 24’ is my third year of participation.

This year the theme revolved around Ridley, the main antagonist & resurrection diva lol. Last year I had committed to an aesthetic which was based on Nazca Lines & this year I went with the aesthetic of 80’s neon signs. So I limited myself to a neon color palette I grabbed off google & went in swinging.

As you can see I did the first thirty prompts (Day 29 got two pieces cuz I love that prompt) which means the final one is missing. I’m planning on doing a separate full piece at a later time cuz life’s a bit wild at the moment.

Regardless I loved how it came out & I really shocked myself at how I didn’t fuck this up LMAO.

Weird detail in Metroid Prime: You can scan the projectiles that the Omega Pirate shoots at you from his shoulder cannons. However, they only use a placeholder scan with unused Parasite graphics that reads:

<This is an Elite Space Pirate>

<Elite Space Pirate description 3>

Here's the Fusion Suit.

Not one of my top favorites in the series but I still love this suit.

Check below for four other variants.

An ages-old sketch of a Zeta Metroid, design from AM2R. I can't even choose a favourite form of Metroid from this game because DoctorM64's designs are all so amazingly-done!
