Samus has always been known to have access to a variety of different weapons, and in this video we look through her extensive arsenal to see what special abilities each upgrade grants her with.

I wanted to bring mention to some power ups I forgot to mention in the video. -Difussion Missiles in Metroid Fusion increase the freezing radius of your missiles -Hyper Ball in Prime 3 allows the Morph Ball to expel of rays Phazon -Hyper Missiles in Prime 3 are basically super fast Phazon Super Missiles -Hyper Grapple in Prime 3 is just basically the Grapple Voltage... but with Phazon -Gravity Boost in Prime 2 basically allows Samus hover under water (I covered this in the Armors video because it felt more as an upgrade tied only to her armor and functions as a Gravity Suit) Apologies for not talking about these items, sometimes one can forget to add things into the script.
The Orpheon The Diffusion missiles are my fav upgrade in Fusion... Idk why though....
But what about Multi-ball from Prime Pinball [and all the existential questions that would result from that game being made cannon.]
You also forgot to mention all of her different suits.
A butt nugget he did a separate video on that
It’s fine man Also they should really get on a Ridley figure
Yes, the "difficulty" space pirates had recreating the morph ball. I will never forget that log entry in Metroid Prime when they gave up after making space pirate distorted pretzels. Morbid humor at its finest
Well the Space Pirates are assholes anyway so it's more like "HA! Karma!"
For me it's Prime 2's log found in the Pirate base in Agon Wastes "Metroids are not pets. Metroids are not for target practice. And finally, any unauthorized feeding is strictly prohibited." Gets me every damn time!
There's a scan that says something like "a Pirate was disciplined for his use of a Metroid for target practice" and a Metroid in a container's scan says "It appears to have consumed an excessive amount of pet treats". Also, if Metroids aren't pets, someone has to tell Samus.
Zerethos 2 There was also a log in Prime 1 threatening death for any Space Pirates with pets
@@isaaceshleman2833 I think the Pirates tried in Super Metroid. She blew up their planet again.
none of us will ever forget the most useful weapon R.I.P long beam
That damn lifesaver of a weapon
Christina Lavallee Samus never forgets it. I'm pretty sure she permanently embedded it into her suit.
Zekeram12 Ye, even when she uninstalls Missiles, the Morph Ball, all her energy tanks, the Varia Suit, and pretty much anything else... She keeps the Long Beam, as her nightlight warding away the spooky things at the edge of the screen.
@@zekeram129 Thinking of it like that is pretty funny but it makes sense as Zero Mission/Metroid was essentially her "first" mission so she most likely saw it as "Finally, an upgrade that can fix my Chozo Power Suit's Beam." and essentially kept it from that point on afterwards.
A Pure Lucario No, I mean not even full upgrade resets not necessarily triggered by Samus (like in Prime) wipe the Long Beam. Samus has hard-coded that beam into her system.
12:35 Spider Samus, Spider Samus, does whatever a Spider Samus can. Can she swing, yes she can. Watch out Ridley, it’s Spider Samus.
In the chill of night At the scene of the crime She kills all metroids/life forms that pose any threat Like she does all the time
Spider-Sam.
You are a genius
What about the wide beam? *wide putin music intensifies*
Spider-Sam, Spider-Sam, does whatever a Samus can, shoots a beam, any size, kills creatures, sometimes big flies. LOOK OUT! Here comes the Spider-Sam! Is she fast? Listen bud! She outran a lava flood. Can she swing, from a beam? Take a look, yes it seems. Hey theeerrre, there goes the Spider-Sam. In the chill of night, to the pirates’ surprise Like a streak of light She arrives just in time. Spider-Sam, Spider-Sam Friendly Galaxy Spider-Sam. Wealth and fame, she’s adored. Action then, her reward! To heeer, life is a great big maze! She really needs a raise! Pay more to Spider-Sam!
Imagine. Pre her Zero Mission, Samus did all her missions with her pea shooter.
The game forces you to get the long beam
I don't recall seeing Samus's shots only traveling like 2 feet in the Manga.
ZapDragon58 it actually doesn't, you can skip the long beam
Zero Mission was her first mission
@@bredoffender she was a federation marine beforehand
Your chibi drawings are so amazing, how are you not more popular?
This comment... The content is so good but so are the drawings and is also one of the biggest reasons I watch the channel lol
I'm curious how he's doing them so good? Anybody knows? What program, techniques?
i agree
Came cause of the drawings, stayed for the content. 👍
Prashanth Sharma same B
Now, imagine Samus with every single power up of all the games at the same time
The dream and the destruction
3 Different Hyper Beams… *Oh God*
@@TheUncivilizedNation now add megaman's double gear
Oh no...
Honestly, the power grip kinda makes sense. In water the suit straight-up sinks, so its gotta be heavy. It really doesn't scream "robot ninja". I could be ABSOLUTELY retarded and be wrong but, eh, ITS MY OPINION DAMMIT
Heavy-ass suit and this bitch doing summersaults.
And in Fusion/Dread, where her suit is significantly lighter, she doesn't need the upgrade
An entire channel where the main focus is metroid? Sign me up.
Love your content! As a huge Metroid fan (it being my favorite game series/franchise). I reallyyyy appreciate your videos being based around the game! Not many channels cover metroid, the franchise seems a bit underrated compared to other Nintendo games and such. Keep up the great work man!
OmegaVibe Metroid receives a ton of praise. It isn’t exactly underrated, more-so underrepresented
Metroid is my favorite game franchise too.
My top 3 video game franchises is 1. MegaMan (linear Metroid) 2. Metroid 3. Castlevania (gothic Metroid)
so the omega cannon is like the BFG
@@galactic1555 I agree on that. After all the whole metroidvania is named after Metroid games
It warms my heart when I find a creator who uses Custom Robo music in their videos.
The Spider Ball from Metroid II was definitely the power-up that drew me into the world the most. It's slow and contemplative, which suits the atmosphere, and leaves Samus vulnerable to attack (and thus at risk of falling). The award for cutest power-up goes to the Morph Ball. The most overpowered power-up is the Charge Beam, which unbalanced Super Metroid somewhat by making Missiles redundant in combat. Shout out also to the Space Jump for being such a cool concept.
I love your chibi art, especially how expressive they are. I also liked how many different forms of Ridley you showed.
I was in the middle of watching something else, got a notification and was like :O orpheon!!!!!! And instantly clicked on the video without finishing what I was watching.
Who would win? The law of gravitation Or One bird magic ice beamy Boi Lol why does this have so many likes
Bird Magic for the win!!!
One bird magic ice beamy grl*
I want the creators of the figures to make Ridley ones. Regular Ridley and Meta Ridley figures would be good
Don't forget about Robo Ridley and X Ridley.
jamilyn1981 Well guess what they just announced!
sick, always thought it was odd that there were no figures of ridley.
@@xenon8927 It's because a Ridley that was scaled to Samus figures would be ginormous and very expensive.
I will always remember that the annihilator beam was changed to "eclipse beam" in the Italian version that I played of Echoes. It made the thing sound cooler, in my opinion.
Also more on theme with the light vs. dark theming.
Great stuff! ...BUT you forgot the diffusion missiles from Fusion
Marshall Cain 9:05
The speed booster is my favorite powerup. It's like a generic superpower, but also more badass.
Run fast, crouch, jump, fly Basically a generic superpower, turned into god
Im so happy to finally find a nice metroid channel. This game holds so much sentimental value. Cant wait to watch more of your videos too! ^^
Hope you enjoy the videos to come
I love Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It's just so immersive.
The motion controls had me immerse all this time

"be it gundams, kamen riders..." could this man be one of my people?
Metroid is a series that doesn't get enough recognition on KZhead I'm happy to see that your channel is all about it that's why I'm subscribing today!!
How convenient for this video to come out after I started playing Metroid Prime. Coincidence? Who knows...
It was fate
Whoand It was Minecraft
You just rocked me with nostalgia putting that custom robo music in here.
i like ot mention some people think the morphball is a substitute for crawling but really i doubt crawling in a suit like samus's is simple and the holes seen in prime are small, plus samus can go forward and backwards in the morphball without inpeded movement but hte power grip, well heavy armor i guess, and she loses that before metroid 2.....well lets consider the remakes cannon so she loses it before super metroid and fusion her suit is lighter in a concept of using energy as a projectile that is a case of either you are using an energy cartridge or overall unlimited shots but this is chozo tech, and if you try to bring up prime 2 those weapons are lunamoth tech and were still a work in progress as according to lunamoth's lore that the dark and light beams are useful yet work in progress, but shame not getting all ammo expansion doesnt give you unlimited shots
She was initially planned to crawl, but in 1986 it'd be too hard to animate and then later on they went off it being a ball.
Your animations, choice of bg music, careful detail, and narration are all reasons I subscribed!
Hope you enjoy the videos to come
Remember the wave beam and Spazer are different in attacking too. The Spazer if one of the beams hit all 3 will. But the Wide beam Carries on if one of it's "circles" hits something to potentially hit more enemies at once
The quality of the videos is fantastic. I was shocked when I saw your sub count. The content you provide definitely deserves more love man! Huge fan of the Metroid series, so all of the videos you’ve been putting out about it gets me hyped up and makes me wanna play through the games again (for like the 100th time lol)
Don't mind me. I'm just a metroid floating through the comments section. Waiting for something to take some life energy..
Crappy Content ...!!!!!! *fires Ice Missles*

@@yerman0564 lmao
I am so happy I found your channel! As a huge Metroid fan myself, it's really cool to see a KZheadr that makes videos completely surrounding the topic of the Metroid games! Keep the the great work!
Awesome channel dude! Been a fan of the metroid saga for 15 years now and it warms my heart to see how passionate some other people also are about it. Keep up the good job!
I may have an explanation as to why the Ice Beam freezes enemies in midair, cold temperatures are just heat escaping the area (the "area" in this case is the enemy), and if heat is radiating downwards then theoretically wth a lot of video game logic, it would keep enemies from falling.
This makes the least sense to the point where it does make sense.
Yeah, it's really just riding off what I've learned off the holy ancient texts of video game logic.
Oh man, I love taking a look through all the beams and weapons has gotten over the years, makes me feel giddy. Great vid!
New term- Bird Magic lol
Ich mus spiele. oops I must st play those Prime Games!
Since I found your channel, I loved practically everything you talk about. Seriously, whenever you talk about Metroid it sounds interesting to me and makes me wanna hear more. The model collecting is nice, too. I'm a Gundam collector myself, and it's nice to know one of my favorite content creators likes them too. I hope to see more from you in the future!
The MP3 Varia Suit Figma is indeed beautiful. I own one myself, and it's the first and only Figma I have. Also kind neat how you intertwined talking about the figure with the script. I liked that a lot.
Your talking about metroid with custom robo music in the background. The levels of wondrous nostalgia are bringing me to tears.
Woohoo! Another vid! I loved the Plasma beam personally, it’s always such a power trip using it!
The Splatoon music in the background is great as I love both Metroid and Splatoon

I like to collect stuff from Metroid, Godzilla, the Fantastic Four and Crash Bandicoot. But since i’m not 18 years old, i still can’t buy on online store, so i mostly pick what i see on retail stores.
When it comes to Metroid, i have all the amiibos (not counting Ridley, but i will buy it at launch), an official Samus Returns poster and the Prime Varia suit from Jakks Paciffic. Of course, i’m limited since i live in an island , but i keep making my collection bigger whenever i see something that i don’t have in some stores.
@@jdcabrera9646 well? Did you buy Ridley and Dark Samus?
@@yerman0564 yes
@@jdcabrera9646 oh that's good to hear. I love the Dark Samus amiibo. All the Metroid amiibos are good, too bad I have none.
Thank you VERY MUCH for this so detailed and comprehensive analisys
Please don't ever stop making videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love every single one you make! Even the ones not aboot Metroid! You helped me become a bigger better fan!
I just now got around to watching this as I forgot to the other day. Nothing much else to say besides stellar presentation as usual. Keep up the good work, Albert. :)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Metroid Prime: Hunters Deathmatch mode, the ORIGINAL hero shooter
I didn't even know it had a pvp, and that's what i thought too
Matteo Matteo me and my friends used to spend hours playing this game after school, best times of my life.
You are so underrated. Your content is some of the best on KZhead
You forgot the diffusion missle upgrade in fusion. That's the one where when you charge your missile and release it's sends out a freezing circle of ice. Useful for when you have a lot of enemies or just something you need to freeze that is out of reach. But otherwise I loved the video man. I love Metroid so watching these videos and seeing other fans is always entertaining
👍Thanks for shining some light on the *Prime Hunters* powerups.
This is two years late, but the most iconic thing in her arsenal, to me, aside from her viara suit\power suit, is her screw attack, as it is the franchise logo\emblem.
Love the music, (and the expansion) good video!
I love the Skell figure! I've had that thing on my radar for so long!
I actually ordered the Samus prime 3 figma, and I watched this previously so thanks for the review!
Using Custom Robo music on your already amazing video is just ahhh!!! 😍😍😍
I like the custom robo theme playing in the background.
Wait a minute... CUSTOM ROBO MUSIC
Awesome music you use in this videos, specially the custom robo ones XD
Recently subbed just wanted to say that me not knowing about metroid lore and just playing the 2D games there is so much I don't know I am most likely going to binge your channel
Also love the battle network music choice
Spoiler for the trailer and treehouse gameplay of. Metroid Dread! In the trailer we see the first E.M.M.I (not broken) can climb any wall and after you kill it you’ll probably get the spider grip thingy that makes you able to climb blue surfaces. The green boy (second emmi) can crawl into small spaces, you’ll probably get the morph ball from it ! Another Emmi from the trailer (the yellow boy) seems to be able to run around at the speed of sound, and you guessed it ! You’ll getthe Speed booster from it !! I’m sooo hyped for the speed booster in Metroid Dread !! It wasn’t in samus returns and i missed it...
The power grip is more well known than the screws attack? How dare you! Federation member confirmed!
Great video Orpheon!
5:04 Am i crazy or there is "que lindo planeta", what a beautiful planet in portuguese.
I love your music choices. Good ol’ Starforce games.
"Que lindo planeta" Huehuehuehue
You forgot to mention that the spiderball let's you climb almost *any* surface in Return of Samus/Samus Returns. That is when the spiderball was at it's best.
Except for the weird, sticky ones in SR.
One word: BIRD MAGIC
I love how you pronounce “figures” as “figgers”, that’s pretty neat, in fact, for me, a fun way pronounce “action figures” is “atchin figgers”, you should try it
i'll always remember plasma as the best upgrade of metroid along with screw attack. It deals huge damage and... piercing? that hits different
I just found this channel. Do you do all the little bits of art? Because that chino Samus is adorable and I love her. Also, those figures in the opening look dope as hell. You might have just introduced me to a new way to waste my money on things I don’t need lol.
I enjoyed this video so much I almost forgot that u wer original talking about a figurine in the beginning lol 😁
Pirates from Metroid prime. Let's get some ideas from Samus arsenal :D. Other pirates: Great idea :D. First pirate: Let's work on the morph ball :D 5 seconds latter. Due to some terrific failures we decides to work on the other things from her arsenal...
I had to take a moment to appreciate the Custom Robo music in the background! 😁😁😁
Love the Custom Robo background music!!
Dude this Megaman Starforce and Custom Robo music is filling me with nostalgia.
You're killing me with the music. Too much nostalgia!
A youtuber by the name of AnthonysCustoms has been working on manufacturing some extra items for the Metroid Figmas. They're not specifically MP3 items, but it's still worth checking out. From one figure collecting Metroid fan to another, I highly recommend.
Oh cool!! You are using Custom Robo music X3 that game was fun!
A new Orpheon Video! Yessss.
I enjoy how you added Mega Man Battle Network and Mega Man Starforce music.
Been on a Metroid video binge, and suddenly hearing Splatoon music in the beginning of his video both threw me off and excited me. And, Dedf1sh's song actually fits kinda nicely. :)
The wide beam has different properties to the Spazer as Spazer will stop if it hits an enemy where the 3 shots of the wide beam have their own hit boxes. Great video tho love your content so far!
Never really noticed that, thanks for the info and for watching
@@TheOrpheon no worries keep up the good work!
I think you missed that missile from Metroid Fusion that did the swirling thing that froze enemies Kind of like the Diffusion Beam, but 2D and for the Missiles
Numbuh1234 its aldo cslled difiusion!
sadly, is the most forgettable upgrade. You only use it against SA-X and it is not even required to beat it :/
Im just starting the metroid series. Im going to subscribe so i can learn more about metroid :)
I love how appropriate the Annihilator Beam is named. It kills everything so fast. Also great for those puzzles of Simon Says.
Metroid prime wave beam also has homing projectiles, good for far and elusive targets like jetpack pirates
Love the Battle Netork and Starforce figurines!
awesome video and i agree i wish the figures had more to them and not just one beam and a ball and i always thought that the morph ball was possiable cause how the suit is made and program to be like a certain abilty of an alian that how it does it and with different versions gave the abilities like spider ball from a spider who can shrink to a ball and crawl up to high places or the bomb is from an alian who used energy to selfe defend it self. i like that idea of why the morph ball is so amazing. plus that clunky suit wouldnt get far into holes or planets.and the power grip is cause her suit is very heavy at times. or that samus arm cannon shoots infinte beams but also can make almost a 100 missles per boss fight if collected enough energy from all those missles tanks and to refill the tank samus visor shows an energy icon to restock since how else are theres floating missles that was in the stomuch of a random bug. also loved samus returns and the new ability that gave shows how powerful the suit can be sure it makes the game to easy but wouldnt that be the case for every game if she had all her power
You have to be drawing these chibis yourself. How else do they fit so well! They're sooooo cute and they add to the level of detail in your videos, I love seeing them.
They are custom made
Love your work not gonna lie
That beautiful Custom Robo music
The annihilator beam is proof metroid is in the Highschool DXD Universe. I hope someone gets the reference
You and The Metroid Trainer keep Metroid alive! Moar plz!!
