Welcome to Zebes (One Last Time) [Pt. 1]

This is for all of you who have never played Super Metroid, and will be downloading it the second it appears on the Virtual Console on Monday; after all, it is my favorite game ever, and near or at the top of anyone’s list of the best games ever.

So, after you escape from the exploding space colony, you will arrive on Zebes, and all seems quite peaceful. You are in Crateria, the surface of Zebes… and the fun is about to begin.

Before you know it, you’ll be in beautiful Brinstar. You’ll find both the Morph Ball and Bombs here, both necessary countless times throughout your adventure on Zebes. Travel through the jungles of Brinstar, and arrive at the doorstep (OK, there aren’t doorsteps in Super Metroid, but you get what I mean) of Kraid, and take him down (*cough* shoot missiles into his mouth when it opens *cough*).

After you finish off Kraid, you’ll make your way down to the fiery depths of Norfair. What’s the highlight of your time in Norfair? Why, shootin’ down Ridley, of course.

Part 2 coming at you tomorrow…
