Slow is one thing. I'm fine with slow as long as it's responsive, which SM's controls aren't. The game has a habit of deciding on its own whether your jumps will go the way you want them to, and often ends up frustrating as a result. It's not really something you can blame Super Metroid specifically for though; most SNES platformers had weird physics and control issues of their own. Even Mario controlled like his shoes were buttered and he had helium in his pants. Super Metroid is still a great game, but it's also very much a game of its time.

@eliasthompson I refuse to educate you on the workings or existence of the admin control panel.

#IAmNotAnArtist, but it looks like a good start to me. The few critiques I could make are that I feel like the smoke from his nostrils should be travelling in a uniform direction so it doesn't end up looking like a mustache, and that the slight curve at the back of his mouth makes it almost look like he's happy to see Samus. The wings look great though, I can tell you put a lot of effort into them. Hope that helps!

For me, the best track in the series is Kraid's Lair, hands down. I've been in love with that track since I first heard it in Smash Bros, well before I had even played any Metroid game, let alone the original. I love the way the track opens with such a foreboding atmosphere and builds on it with each phrase, culminating in the fast, scale-like section that would be really out of place if not for the slow, lumbering bass-line under it before scaling back down in preparation for the loop.

I also appreciate that it's a piece that used only two instruments, meaning I could use it to learn to play piano two-handed. I never did get the fast section down, but whatever piano ability I have right now I owe to Kraid's Theme.

Not counting Higgs? If that's post-game then it should be public knowledge that he's still alive.

@amwolfmusic James is the one you find in the room on your way to Sector 0, right? I always thought it was him, since it built the scene before it up like the Deleter was going to kill MB, but then got killed by her instead.

@metroid3d Ah, I didn't realize you could still see it. I think it's just Admins/Mods and the thread creator that can see the grayed-out topic. I'll keep that in mind!

@metroid3d Nope!

@amwolfmusic Something like that.

@amwolfmusic Even MDB sympathizers are accepted here.
