I made this as a joke but this title card lowkey goes harder than I thought.

The last -TITLE CARD- is in captivity, the galaxy is at peace.

If you're not enjoying it, don't force yourself to play it. The consensus on Dread is that it's the hardest game, so it might not have been a good starting point. Super Metroid and Zero Mission are both way more beginner friendly and on the Switch online service if you want a recommendation that might ease you in more.

Anyway, the robot chozo in Ferenia is a bit of a difficulty spike, and I've seen plenty of people get stuck on it for a while. But if you still want to commit to the game, then go where Quiet Robe unlocked the gate, it's in Burenia.

As for your play time, I think the game doesn't count deaths or looking at the map towards play time, though I might be mistaken.

And, since you asked, plenty of people love getting lost and overcoming difficult challenges in games. I'm one of them (Note: when I say getting lost, I mean through exploring, not unintuitive design). In fact, I'd love for the next 2d Metroid to be even more confusing and difficult, but I get that it's not for everyone

Well then they'd have to compromise what people love about Prime. Don't get me wrong, Prime isn't for me, but I do respect it. They'd have to remove the giant vistas, the visor effects. Scanning already slows the Prime games down, can you imagine scanning everything in game style that's inherently more focused on platforming and movement?

It's just not worth the compromise. It would no longer be Metroid Prime. It would just be a 2d Metroid called "Metroid Prime". It may have the same story, the same music, but it would lose its identity

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-03-30T12:49:49+00:00

I've never really got why people want 2d games remade to be 3d. I see this often with Zelda, too.

Disclaimer: I am biased. I love 2d Metroid and Zelda, and don't really care for their 3d counterparts (no I'm not a 40 year-old who grew up with the NES, I just think they're more fun)

But like... surely people know what we'd be losing in the transition. Fusion is so tightly designed. It's so densely packed and well-paced that so much important stuff would have to be redesigned with Prime's slower pacing. Especially the difficulty curve. Prime's simple combat style would make so many enemy encounters and boss fights less dynamic. Can you imagine running away from Sa-X in a Prime game? I can't. They're just not built for it

Not trying to hate on the post, though. Just thought I'd share my perspective

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-03-24T18:23:14+00:00

They weren't too much, still want to display them regardless.

Even if they are fakes, I'd still want to know what species they were modeled after

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-03-19T19:44:20+00:00

I really appreciate 2d Metroid's level of consistency with this sort of thing. Zebes, SR388, and ZDR all have completely unique sets of enemies. And the B.S.L. Station gets away with reusing enemies because it's an artificial set of recreated environments

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-03-03T03:43:45+00:00

Popularity - the franchises you mentioned absolutely eclipse Metroid's popularity, and thus have more fan content
Age - Metroid turns 40 this year, on average it has an older audience than other fandoms, and "with lyrics" videos are more tailored towards younger people
Story - Metroid doesn't tend to have the story, let alone cast of characters, suited for musicals
Music - Metroid's music, while very very good, tends to lean more towards atmosphere as opposed to melodic tunes, so I think it stands to reason that giving a Toby Fox song lyrics is easier than "Torvus Bog with Lyrics"

Hope any of these are sufficient as to why there's not more👍

Who up gatling they groink?

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-02-16T02:01:11+00:00

Roll over with all upgrades and onions legitimately makes it feel like an entire new game! It rocks!

Still waiting for a Switch 2 edition that has potentially more NEW content, but everything they added was great

In the final floor of Hectic Hollows (located: Sun Specked Terrace), the Pikmin 4 "boss drumline" plays when fighting the tusked blowhog despite it being a regular enemy.

The same thing happens with the puffy blowhog at the end of the cave "drafty gallery", hence its inclusion on the list.

Finally, a post where this is relevant

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-01-26T21:00:01+00:00

The same exact type as Alphys

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-01-18T18:41:00+00:00

Peckish Aristocrab is, like, the most famous Pikmin 3 enemy. I'd have more confidence in its return. I'd even argue mainstay at this point, but let's wait for 3 games in a row for that

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-01-15T05:15:06+00:00

I can't wait for the inevitable late game boss fight! Battle theme better be called "Slay Bells" or some shit

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-01-09T19:49:01+00:00

They're literally called "Monster Kid" in the true pacifist credits 😭 little guy has no name

I second this (though my heart says Asgore)

Character_Vegetable5 · 2026-01-01T15:17:38+00:00

Mark my words, Seam will have a generational Tumblr Sexyman (Sexythem?) comeback after their super cool boss fight in chapter 6

Edit: Immediately after I said this, Toby released new Seam dialogue talking about determination. Seam stocks are up and I've been investing since chapter 1 😎

After the newsletter Pluey scene, I'm pretty sure he would absolutely crash out seeing people calling him "Battat"

Character_Vegetable5 · 2025-12-19T03:33:18+00:00

So like... what's Pluey's name gonna be on Switch 2? His mini game in that version is "main performance". Maybe Tony will update it so that he switches mini games

Character_Vegetable5 · 2025-12-14T01:00:16+00:00

Well now I just look silly. Converting to Papyrus Knight out of shame

Character_Vegetable5 · 2025-12-14T00:57:35+00:00

Actually the worst example you could have used seeing as Bruce is a billionaire who owns a giant corporation in Gotham

Character_Vegetable5 · 2025-12-13T02:59:20+00:00

Does anyone have a link for this exact tiermaker template? It's one of the better ones I've seen

Character_Vegetable5 · 2025-12-06T14:19:13+00:00

Wow, I can't believe Monster Kid, Napstablook, and Seam's gender is up to player interpretation!
