We’re still looking forward to the day when Nintendo surprises us with the announcement of Metroid Prime 4’s release date or at least gives us a little preview of this long-awaited installment of the saga. In the meantime, we can make the wait a little shorter by playing other titles in the series, such as Super Metroid, which is precisely one of the best of all.
This work, which was also one of the best in the Super Nintendo catalog, hides some very curious secrets and one of them is related to their final bosses. Those of you who have played will remember the confrontations against Kraid, Crocomire, Draygon, Phantoom or of course Ridley, among others.
Most of the time they attacked or were hit, they let out a scream that echoed through the entire room. Perhaps during the game someone did not realize it, but it turns out that these particular sounds were not entirely original and those in charge of the sound section did not create them on purpose for this game.
Apparently the team considered that these gigantic monsters had an enormous resemblance to Godzilla movie creatures, so they thought it was a good idea to use their peculiar screams in those of the final bosses themselves. For example, those of Crocomire and Phantoon belong to Titanosaurusone of the monsters from the movie Terror of Mechagodzilla.
Among other cases we have that of Draygon and Ridley, whose screams belong to Anguiruswhile that of Mother Brain, the last boss of all those that appear in the game, uses the roars of Mothra. So that they are not a carbon copy, they have been slightly modified, but that does not mean that the base corresponds to these very popular kaijus from destruction movies.
Already put, it would be good see Samus face off against Godzilla, because surely you will not lack guts for it. What is certain is that the next time you play Super Metroid You will not see, or rather hear, the same way from their respective final bosses.
