Stumbling through Super Metroid - Part 11

[davidn]

Thank you for making the last video about Super Metroid the most-discussed thing in the history of this journal (beating the previous record holder Symphony of the Night by some margin). I still have about a squillion comments to reply to, but for now, here is part 11!

I hesitate to say that things "heat up" in this part because as we all know that would be bloody stupid, but in the lower regions of Norfair, the action noticeably raises a tier - here, two very tough bosses get defeated and I acquire an extremely enjoyable new ability that I briefly thought I had in the last video. I know that I must be close to the end of the game now - will part 12 be the final one? We'll see...

Are you going to start in Norfair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Kill the pterodactyl that's there,
Or just drown in alien slime?

Lava burns you sometimes (or not),
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Possibly because it's quite hot,
Maybe you'll survive it this time...

Ninja pirate mantis go home!
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
I really hate the Metropolis Zone;
Slicers are a bugbear of mine.



Here's a room that looks like a heart!
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
But look again, it'll give you a start -
Majora's Mask! It's almost a crime...

I'm a missile-countering bird!
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Three dimensions aren't so absurd,
Dodging shots is really sublime!

Now the Metroid larva's escaped,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Nuke the site - ensure it gets vaped,
Or else they'll go and make Metroid: Prime!

D.F.

I love you so much :)

I wanted to reply in a way that was worthy of this, but I couldn't come up with anything so I'll just say: That was marvelous, and you just introduced me to a song that, perhaps surprisingly, I hadn't heard before.
