You start of this game with this nice heroic sounding piece that gets you excited about exploring this underground cavern, until you run into your first metroid and the music changes to a stinger that wouldn’t feel out of place in a slasher film. It’s very jarring, and as a kid who shied away from horror films I found it very scary.

I feel the whole soundtrack of Metroid II gets unfairly dumped on by a lot of fan, but I’m guess that’s a point you’ll address later in this series.

About doing it for financial gain, I mean. She apparently does all this for free.

I had no idea that the walls could have hidden passageways. It took me about an hour and the whole time I was thinking how bad the level design was.
