Stumbling through Super Metroid - Part 8

[davidn]

This is a gentler part than most of the others! Instead of frustration and being stuck, the vast majority of it is just peaceful exploration through this new underwater world that I've just opened up. I attempt to read the game's language to discover some secrets, but do not do very well at it.

Throwing everything at that tube in frustration and then being surprised when something actually works is the highlight of this video. :P Also, I know it's just a small incidental detail, but I love the occasional puffs of air and clouds of bubbles that come out of Samus' shoulder pad vents when she's underwater. With the gravity suit on, you wouldn't know whether you were above or below the surface in some rooms, but I thought that was a nice little touch.

It really is - it serves the function of reminding you that you're underwater, but it also really brings a feeling of life in a place that's mostly still, like the dust clouds when you land in certain other areas...
