Happy #mar10day! One of the oldest and best references to the Metroid series is the Invincibility Star animation in SMB3, which gives Mario a very distinct jumping animation where he somersaults like he's using the Screw Attack. It's quite deliberate and there's no questioning its significance.

Happy 22nd Anniversary to Metroid: Zero Mission 😰 holy s**t… 22 YEARS? We here at the MDB are steadily aging Gen Xerz 🫠 Anyway, how about some sprite appreciation? Also, how did you first experience Zero Mission? Did you own a physical cart? #metroid #samus #metroidzeromission #videogames #gaming

Forgot to tell y'all yesterday that I published my review of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond! metroiddatabase.com/reviews/metr...

Yo @midimyers.com, Sakamoto absolutely did work on M1. Your article is a little inaccurate here. I do agree that Samus's deliberate silence in Prime 4 is extremely awkward and downright unpleasant at times, esp when people are screaming at her for her help.

✨This week we’re joined by Ryan Berrett, webmaster of the @metroiddatabase.bsky.social! Join us as we dive into his lifelong love of Metroid, the evolution of the Database, and more!✨ ✨ ✨ open.spotify.com/episode/7ab5... ✨ ✨ #razzledazzle #razzledazzleshow #metroid #MetroidPrime4

Happy 23rd Anniversary to these two titans of the Metroid legacy 💪 I’ll never forget how I played Fusion first because I was so afraid of how Prime was going to be with the drastic change of gameplay… I’m so glad I was wrong about my initial reaction. Sometimes you gotta trust the creative minds. 🤞

Stream was a blast (pun intended) I love Metroid Prime so much, such an incredible game...Thank you to @metroiddatabase.bsky.social for the raid, and thank you to everyone else for hanging out and your support! We raided into @xaertes.bsky.social Catch you all Friday for Super Castlevania IV!

The topic of the first playable female protagonist isn't as cut-and-dried as folks might like to think. There are many flavors of first, which trips people up. Who was the first on arcade, computer, home console? In the US, Japan, Europe? I'll try to unravel it for you here in a thread. 🧵

Playing Bayonetta (as Samus) starts tonight 8pm CST! Twitch.tv/metroiddatab...

Sale ends tonight at midnight!

"Oh, the Prime Remaster doesn't have the unlockable Fusion Suit or Metroid 1" 🙄

Not sure when this ad ran, but I'd imagine it was ~'96 seeing as the Virtual Boy was on sale. Yup, Super Metroid brand new for $30.

I think we all have opinions about Other M, but I would highly recommend playing the Japanese version. It was a blast to play with a standard controller during our Twitch marathon. BTW, we had all of the concept art translated a while back metroiddatabase.com/game/metroid... #metroid #metroidotherm

Thank you all so much for joining us on Bluesky!! Has anyone played Echoes again to celebrate its 20th? #metroid #samus #metroidprime2echoes

These are some sort of old Metroid drawings that I did for @metroiddatabase.bsky.social I'm still proud of these and loved this project! I want to make sure I finish more Metroid art in the future, especially more Samus and full illustrations! #Metroid
