"It's never explained how the x got on the station" Samus got infected, her suit came alive while on the ship, and released the parasites. This is explained in game. Also, the suits abilities are designed off of the creatures, not the other way around. And the game tells you twice that they aren't infected. And, Samus has Metroid dna in game, which is why the x act violent towards her instead of infecting her. If the animals were infected, they would attack her.

On why they could have piloted the ship, they were stated to be intelligent, and both Samus and Adam didn't give a second thought to the fact that the Etacoons and Dachoras piloted the ship. So, for all we're concerned the 'intelligent' beings knowing how to operate tech might be common knowledge Maybe the Chozo trained them,

Matthew Smith below already covered how and why the X-Parasite didn't get them, so I'll just add this. Why do the animals know super skills that, otherwise, only Samus should know? Consider, they originally inhabited Zebes, the homeworld of the Chozo. Perhaps they did not copy the technology of the suit, but rather... the Chozo took inspiration from the natural abilities of the ANIMALS when creating the power-suit! Thus, it is (once again) Samus who is copying THEM, in more ways than one! But that's just a theory, a Counter-Game-Theory! Thanks for reading!

I remember watching this and eating it up as actual series lore, because at the time I had never actually fully played a metroid game. Now it's honestly disappointing knowing that this theory was debunked the moment he wrote seeing as all the explanations can be found in fusion, and just by doing a bit of research on the animals. All you need to do is play fusion to know that there is no possible way that they would be X infected seeing as because of Samus' new Metroid DNA the X are particularly more aggressive towards her, opting to kill her rather than infect her. Not mentioning the fact that the X would've recognized Samus' Metroid killing capabilities by the end of Super Metroid, and would have infected her as soon as she saved them. This is one of those theories that answers itself by just playing, and paying attention during the game.

problems with the theory, some spoilers involved 1 the creatures are from zebes, not sr388. they could have been infected on the station but not before, unless contact with sr388 could somehow transmit the dormant x parasite, which we will assume is impossible given the opening intro, or the space pirates and samus would have spread it over half the known universe themselves. changing the canon and letting them die would only affect an outbreak post fusion. 2 the x parasite is so destroyed by the metroid that it is repulsed to be in the same room with any hint of one. we see this many times throughout the game, attacking samus on sight or once the jig is up on a camouflage. many could have avoided samus if they chose. an sa-x even has a scene where it wildly shoots up the metroid containment section, freeing them in the process. for a supposedly intelligent learning parasite, this is a very dumb knee-jerk reaction. even if they could keep up a visual disguise and act cool, samus absorbs the parasite on contact, and i think the final shot is them hanging around her right? 3 samus's ship is controlled by it's own ai which if it had been any other one provided by the federation probably would have left her to die, but this one in particular likely would not. either way, i'm not sure an ai would easily give up control of a ship to any unregistered passenger, whether they could pilot the ship or not. 4 they knew by the start of fusion that the metroid was inherently lethal to the x, it's how they saved samus in the first place. they sent her aboard hoping to contain the x problem with this ability. they must have had methods of scanning for it too. odds are they would have killed everything rather than lost the station and it's research, and leading in to this side note, the chozo were totally right to not trust the federation with knowledge of the metroid. they totally called the federation using the metroid for research. every metroid appearance post metroid 2 and the baby's death in super metroid is an attempt at cloning by either the space pirates or federation, or an off site containment facility of the chozo. they wrote themselves into a corner, and always need to contrive a way in which the namesake wasn't hunted to extinction.

Great points, however the fact that the creatures could only have been infected after escaping Zebes doesn't rule out the possibility that they could be carrying the X parasite at the end of Fusion. The creatures are as mysterious as they are cute, we're never told what role in the research they play. Why are the etecoons and dachoras specifically kept isolated from everything else on the BSL station? In both Metroid 3 and 4, the creatures demonstrate complex cognitive abilities and yet, no obvious forms of verbal or written communication. How did they figure out how to escape when Zebes was destroyed? If there is a new Metroid in the works, I really hope these creatures' stories get fleshed out. If indeed, they carry the X parasite at the end of Fusion, there is story branch that can revive the series. We definitely know that Samus's Fusion suit and her DNA has been infused with Metroid DNA. In the case of the X returning, it may be possible to reconstruct Metroids as a weapon to fight the X yet again, OR perhaps the same technology used on her would have to be distributed throughout the GF.

Well that's great Matpat except for one problem. The main AI you interfaced with already scanned the Etecoons and Dachoras when they entered Samus' ship and found no signs of X parasites within them.

12:05 It is fully explained within the first minutes of the game actually, the infected armor parts that were removed from Samus to save her were placed in the ship's Quarantine Bay, later on the X-parasites within the armor parts mimics the version of Samus it originally infected (ie a fully upgraded Samus) then used a power bomb to escape its containment also breaching the other x-infected creatures containers and the QB itself letting the X infect and kill everyone rather quick throughout the ship's main deck and subsequently the 6 sectors. Also i think the AI straight up tells you they scanned and didn't detect any X-parasites within the Etecons and Dachoras, in fact the only reason you end up releasing them its because the AI detects non-infected biosigns in a specific part of the ship's MD and tells you to go check it out hoping they might be human survivors, the AI also adds that the X probably didn't infected them because they didn't see battle potential or worthy knowledge in those creatures (kinda bs tbh though, the X are supposed to act instinctively as a hive mind, they don't selectively infect creatures because they deem them worthy, they just want to consume, proliferate and spread, besides they did infected and mimicked worthless creatures and they can also mutate them to make them stronger, so i call plot armor).

I like the structure of argument on this one MatPat, but there are a couple holes in your theory in regards to the canon as well as the theory itself. *SPOILER WARNING* for those unfamiliar with the source material. 1.) The in-game dialogue from _Metroid Fusion_'s opening and the first few moments of gameplay actually _do_ explain how the X infestation started. The X came from the infected parts of Samus's suit (creating the SA-X), and the creatures B.S.L contracted her to capture prior to the events of the game. 2a.) If the etecoons and dachoras were infected by the X on Zebes (Not even sure how they got there and into the pirates' base undetected), then they would have infected everything including Samus, Mother Brain, and the high-rankng space pirates like Ridley. Samus and Mother Brain are the only beings we've seen able to kill metroids in combat, and Ridey is supposedly the most dangerous being in the galaxy where only Samus is an actual threat to him. 3.) The ship computer, nicknamed Adam, told Samus that he comfirmed that they weren't X host. It's a stretch, but it is possible that they were stealthy enough to avoid running into any infected creatures since the X have a habit of attacking first, then infecting. Otherwise, they would have no need for copying life forms such as Samus or Ridley in the first place since their gelatinous forms are nigh-indestructible. As +Natsume-Hime pointed out, "The Etecoons and Dachoras has strong identifiable lifesigns, something all X-Parasites coppies lack." 4.) Not as important, but the Chozo were kind of right when the Federation tried to do that exact thing when they tried to capture the metroids and X parasites for use as bio-weapons.

A few things: -The Chozo designed their technology inspired by the creatures around them. not the other way around. -Metroid Zero Mission features the same ship you find crashed in Super Metroid. It does not belong to forest critters. It was made by the Chozo. -The X-Parasite is not intelligent. It is not a hive mind capable of abstract thought. This is confirmed in fusion. Even when it absorbs and replicates more intelligent creatures the copy acts violently and off of basic instinct. One strain cannot communicate with other strains. And even if they were intelligent, Samus became part metroid. -Adam Malkovich's AI EXPLICITLY stated that the animals inside the wildlife enclosure were not infected. If they were infected they would have attacked samus on sight due to her metroid DNA.

Here is another, replication of super skill from Serries, serpent boss sector 4. The speed boost was in it, so animals can have the powers, just different variations of it. Does this mean the dachora is infected? No. Just means that it has the speed booster power. And the chozo replicated it via technology. And a fun fact I can think of. Anything that Samus absorbed from the X, she keeps. As it isn't a part of her suit, It is a part of her. So in a way her suit and skin would have the same effect as she could use all absorbed abilites. Missles might be deactivated, the bombs and such might be as well. However her beams, morphball, jump abilities, speed booster, all of them have become a part of her. So after fusion even if the four of them are infected Samus is more powerful than ever before.

My man, you make us proud when Matthew belittles a bunch of cool animals

"I confirmed that they were not x hosts and gave them a berth." Adam, the shipboard AI, scanned them before letting them onboard. From a scientific standpoint, you could make the argument that the ship's scanners couldn't detect a "dormant strain" or was infected as to give a false negative. Whatever, theorize away. However from a narrative standpoint, Adam's statement was defining and unquestioning. It answered the question to provide explanation, not to introduce question, as its omission would lead to infection being assumed. Adam is also highly unlikely to have lied to her so the Galactic Federation could have the animals as samples, since if he was still following orders he would've kept Samus in that Navigation Room instead of unlocking the hatch. So long as the writers had good storytelling skills, Adam's statement was correct and should be considered canon in my opinion. Doesn't mean I'm changing my bid from kill the animals >.>

But that's just a theory a busted theory

"It's never fully explained why the situation on the space station is happening in the first place"? The game literally tells you that the SA-X planted a power bomb in the quarantine bay, which then caused all X parasites being held there to be released which began infecting the rest of the station. The game literally describes it that way to you.

12:07 "The space station is under the threat of the X-parasite and is never really explained." ...except that it is explained in the opening cutscene and beginning dialogue of fusion. Samus gets infected and her infected suit is being stored on B.S.L. when an explosion happens and she's sent to investigate. You discover a hornoad and some destroyed containers. It was the SA-X using a power bomb to break out and begin spreading the X on the station.

The first recommended video I see when the video ends is "why metroids doomed us" by game theory.

There's one fatal flaw in this one that others have likely pointed out. The ship's computer specifically states in the segment before Samus restores the auxiliary power that he confirmed that the Etecoons and Dachoras were not X hosts. You could say that the ship was also being controlled by X, but the game only says that the X can process data organically, not mimic machinery. This fact alone makes the entire theory null and void.

Also, the fact that the Etecoons and Dachoras are from Zebes, not SR388. The X-Parasites never visited Zebes as they originated on SR388. If they had been present on Zebes, then Samus would've died during the events of Super Metroid. Therefore, if the animals were infected, it would've been during their time on the B.S.L. space lab. Then there comes the issue of X-Parasite evolution. It is explained in the game (or at least the wiki) that the X-Parasites had a slight flaw where when they absorbed DNA and then went to another creature they would change their forms slightly. It caused new creatures with similar abilities to other creatures and new colourations. Because of this, it is very likely that the Etecoons and Dachoras would've appears different than in the original. Just two more problems I have with this theory. It's funny, I came to this video because of my love for the Metroid series and about haflway through I realised that this is the entirely wrong reason to watch it. I've spent far more of my life than I am proud to admit researching and learning everything I could about the Metroid series, the backstories, and all of the lore. So... I find this theory to be very far-fetched and inaccurate. There are simply too many holes that are right there in the game. Plus, X-Parasites came from SR-388 and it is kinda obvious that they weren't travelling across the universe or else we would've seen them come up somewhere else.

You Shut up

Matpat, you're wrong for three very simple reasons: 1: The Etecoons and Dachoras served as the basis for the technology developed by the Chozo for their power suits. They didn't copy the data, the wall jump and speed boosters are copied *from* them. 2: Both Etecoons and Dachoras are shown to be sentient natives to Zebes. X is native to SR-388 and nowhere else. Etecoons and Dachoras were also sealed on the habitation deck in the strongest quarantine on the entire station surpassing even the hidden Metroid labs. 3: The quarantine prevented the X-Parasites from detecting the Etecoons and Dachoras on the habitation deck. Their habitat is double locked down after all. While all other areas only sport single lock downs that don't isolate them from the other regions. The habitation deck's quarantine is completely isolated and sealed. Then there are two more complicated contributing factors: 1: The Etecoons and Dachoras has strong identifiable lifesigns, something all X-Parasites coppies lack. 2: The Etecoons and Dachoras are also linked heavily with the Chozo. Meaning that they're also linked to the Metroids. If they were X-Parasites then the Metroids in the first game would have gone far out of their way to eliminate the Etecoons and Dachoras. Since they didn't and the Etecoons and Dachoras survived to appear in the third and fourth games in the time line... The Etecoons and Dachoras are absolutely not X-Parasite copies. Considering the bio-weapon designed to destroy the X did not target the Etecoons and Dachoras. Where they were known to do so in their native environment of SR-388.

@natsume-hime2473

7 жыл бұрын

A final note: The Etecoons and Dachoras are not the source of the X-Parasite infection on the station. They can't be, because they have a specialized habitat, which means they'd been on the station for quite sometime already. So where does that leave us? The X-Parasites only start infesting the station shortly before Samus arrives. That leaves 2 possibilities and only 2 possibilities in the canon. Either the X-Parasite invasion came with the samples from SR-388, or they came when Samus's contaminated power suit was shipped to the station. Both have a strong foundation of evidence. The initial X outburst starts in the SR-388 habitat, but only after the infected power suit arrives on the station... So either the X targeted the SR-388 habitat, because it was familiar, or they needed SA-X to free them from that habitat.

Plus a lot of people infer things in science fiction the canon doesn't support. It's made very clear that the X-Parasites never had the chance to get off SR-388. Which shoots down the theory that the Etacoons and Dachoras are X replicates. Especially because the Etacoons and Dachoras are clearly stated to be Zebes natives. Another interesting bit of trivia is that the Chozo are not Zebes natives. In no Metroid game have we visited the Chozo homeworld, it's unknown where it is.

Michael That's a possibility, but the canon doesn't support it. The X never had the chance to infect the Etecoons and Dachoras. The parasite is detectable by the sensors both on the station and Samus's new ship. Even if the X could lay dormant, it's still detectable. The reason it was never detected earlier is because the Federation didn't know it existed, so they weren't looking for the X at all period.

Other M tried to be an origins story (done earlier and better with the Manga that MatPat referred to), while at the same time attempting to exist between the events of Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion. Considering this is written by Team Ninja, it's extremely difficult to validify in canon compared to even Federation Force. So, my argument still stands. If you kill the animals, there's no reason for Fusion to exist, but then Other M invariably happens. But if you save the animals, Metroid Fusion has to happen; however, Other M is no longer valid canon (and **rightly so**). Anything that invalidates Other M as a valid entry in the Metroid timeline, has to be pursued.

Yeah, I'd rather take my chances with that horrible, *HORRIBLE* plot because I don't want Metroid Fusion to be canon. Metroid fusion is canon? No more Ice beam. Metroid Other M is canon? We get that plot being canon. Plus, it is VERY unlikely that the animals were the cause of the research station incedent. According to the Metroid Wiki, the parts of Samus's suit that were sent to the Research Station caused the Explosion. Quote: Metroid Fusion - Metroid Wiki "The SA-X, an X parasite that has adopted her form and has all of her weaponry at its disposal. It is also the source of the explosion in the Quarantine Bay." So clearly, the animals dying doesn't effect much. Also, Fusion only happened because Samus went on a mission with others on SRE-88, which caused her suit and her to get infected with X, which caused the Research Station incedent.

You do recall that you do get the ice beam back at the end of Metroid Fusion, right? It's what was necessary to defeat the Omega Metroid. As unlikely as it was that the animals are X carriers, I would rather chance it be them, and thus set in motion Metroid Fusion, than to deal with: - a monotone voice for Samus - Ms. Samus Aran having daddy issues the same way that Zelda has stockholm's syndrome - the proto-form for Ridley being a damn chinese rip-off Pikachu - the entire metroid timeline turning as convoluted as the Hyrule Historia. If Mario is allowed to retain a cohesive timeline that manages to keep it together even now? There's no reason Metroid can't have the same. And this, among many other reasons, is why I have such a huge problem with Other M's existence. Don't even get me started on Federation Force; that's a whole other can of worms I'd rather disavow, in spite of it having the best FPS controls for a game on the 3/DS platform.

The game does explain why the X never infected them. Adam scans them and deems them not infected twice. Also, Adam says that the X passed them over because the X is now are so powerful, they deemed no combat advantage in absorbing such passive, weak creatures, and the X on BSL were willing to destroy themselves and the entire station to kill Samus to protect all other X in the galaxy; therefore combat abilities were all they cared about acquiring to beat Samus, an existential threat to their species. That is why the only way to beat the X was to also blow up SR-388. Adam also suspects that the X were keeping the animals as food for later, as they move the BSL to spread more X.

It also helps the theory that the metroids are good is when the little metroid sacrifices itself to save your life. That shocked some people. I think the only reason why metroids deliberately attack you in the older games is because they know you are trying to kill them. So in a sense we were kinda the bad guys without knowing about it.

The x parasite didn't exist until metroid fusion came out and doesn't exist in any other game before or after. The baby saved Samus because when it hatched in front of her, it viewed her as it's mother and followed her around wherever she went after samus decided not to kill it. This is why Other M obnoxiously threw "the baby" in our faces every 2 minutes. Originally, the metroids were to be eliminated simply because they were a massive threat that fed on everything they could, and in all the games, including Fusion, still function the same as the first ones back in the 80's. Personally, i love Fusion, but i think they dropped the ball when it came to revealing the metroid origin and introducing the x parasite.

It would be a much better, in my opinion, if the baby treating Samus as it's mother was the proof needed to convince us that there was more to the metroids than their desire to feed off of others. The way it saved samus was by taking the life force from mother brain and giving it to her before she could be killed, which resulted in it being destroyed. Now, It could just be me, but i can't really get past them feeling a bit too manufactured now, like tools.

I'm fine with the concept, the Metroid's were made for a reason, and the X-parasite is cool. Along with that excluding M I liked the whole baby thing, made the Metroid's seem like they were intelligent to some degree, rather then just unending stomachs. However I will agree that how there all linked together wasn't Nintendo's best work, the Metroids were made to eat this parasite, that was never found in any of there lore, or revealed to Samus, and Mother Brain never brings this up to discourage Samus, plus for a race made solely to eat this parasite the Baby was able to do other things, like replenish Samus and not kill her. It all seems very convenient.

I was actually playing Metroid fusion, and the computer test the etcoons and dachoras to see if they are X hosts and it says that they aren't.

I know I'm late but gotta say this. I played metroid fusion (finally) and in that game they specifically state that the eticoons and decora in that game were NOT infected. There's an entire mission about it.

I think your theory is wrong. When you save the animals in metroid fusion, the computer says that there are not infected by x parasite. Then, computer allows the animals to stay into the ship because, according to this, there are not infected by x parasite. A little detail that you missed, destroys all theory.

Terminal montage made an entire alternate decision making for what will happens if you let the animals live or die or do nothing.

Terminal montage made a samus animation with an ending based off of your theory

What if the animals aren't actually infected. What if they have an immunity? Think about it this way. A cheetah can run at a speed that can keep up with some cars. And the the bird in Metroid can do what samus' suit can. But what if Samus was intelligent enough to enable the suit to inherit it's abilities, but do them better. The little bear like creature could just be a climbing creature like a bunch of other creatures. What if the only reason they can pilot something is because they seem as if their body structure is of high intelligence. I mean look at the bird's eyes and head and then look at the other creature's antenna. It just makes sense.

to go a step further, those critters are found on zebes. the majority of metroids were being bred on sr388, for a very specific reason. that's the only known planet the x are on. logically that would suggest that's their place of origin. the X have the capacity for intelligence no doubt, and if we are to take am2r as canon (which, why not that game was fantastic) there were federation troopers on the planet meaning there was a ship there, HOWEVER that ship was totaled, and unlike zebes where there'd be a lot more tech lying around sr388 is pretty much a ghost planet with very little actual tech, chozo or otherwise, to work with, so the X have no means of leaving the planet. to suggest the Dachora and Etecoons are possesses and have been spreading themselves across the galaxy is a tad foolish. (plus if they were infected and the haunted ship was theirs, why would they need samus to clear it out? why not spread out and possess and assimilate everything on the ship?)

you may have a point there, however that's just a theory , a game theory,, but for real though. what we are told can't always be the only outcome. it could have been she got information that it was the suite to draw away the idea that animals where involved. animals theory is very deep but totally plausible.

The theory is only plausible if you give solid evidence, which this video does not. You can't simply base a theory on the principle that it may or may not have happened.

The animals are just intelligent life forms that the chozo found out of. The chozo went out of they're way to replicate their powers too. Besides if you didn't save them, you would die in the next installment, they are just returning the favor. And if they were x parisites they would've tried to kill Samus in the first place

Not really, remember the ending of the game. The SA-X saves and "chooses" Samus as host giving her a imitation "hyper beam" when it is willingly absorbed by the fusion suit, so the animals could be X-parasites that reached some level of individuality because of some chozo experiment with the fusion technology as a back up to the metroid plan.

Funny how Samus with her Chozo DNA and training doesn’t understand that taking any object or creature from a biohazard zone is a big no no. What’s worse is that Adam, her ship computer, just lets them on and even says “I’ll keep an eye on them now”. Who is running the Galactic Federation? Where a ship AI and a bounty hunter who was an agent(still is to some degree) of the GF doesn’t follow any type of basic protocol.

1. wouldn't really mean anything. her metroid biology makes her immune to the X, but if she's protecting the X primes, she would still be an ally. kind of like fleas, the host might kill a few of them, but the host is their food source, so it's good for them. 2. I'm sure you'd also say that you don't have a wolf in your house, but chances are that you have a dog. even if you don't the statement still stands, the ship was looking for the variation of X that was wreaking havoc. some smarter strain in hiding would not be found because it would be different. remember the X absorbs dna, so in order to find it they are looking for that evolution of DNA, a few generations back wouldn't have the same strands, it would be missing some of the newer addons. 3. i'll give you this one mostly. but there can be multiple patient 0's... especially if they aren't actually paitent 0.

While I know nothing about the series other than what the main protagonist has shown in Smash Brothers, I hypothesize that she doesn't know she can do this, or is unable to. According to your statement, Samus shares both her's and the metroid's DNA, so there is a possibility that she simply didn't get the genes that make the behavior part of her nature. My apologies if there is something obvious that I'm missing, I've never played any Metroid games. P.S. Doesn't the X parasite actually attempt to stop Samus in Metroid Fusion? In the small bit of gameplay that MatPat showed us, Samus is actually fighting suites of armor that the X made, therefore they wouldn't be saving her.

It seems quite unlikely that the animals are X infected in Super Metroid. Otherwise that entire planet would have been overrun. That they could have been infected during the course of Fusion is possible if you can somehow explain away Adam specifically saying they're not. Also 12:00, yes, they do fully explain why the research station is under attack. The SA-X started the outbreak. The Galactic Federation shipped off the parts of Samus' infected power suit they removed to the BSL. That's a pretty non ambitious part of the game.

Except Samus is kinda a Metroid in the events of Metroid Fusion, the cure literally changed her DNA so that she could absorb X parasites to heal and generate ammo, as crazy as that sounds. If the Metroid were created to hunt the X, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to think that Samus could develop instincts similar to Metroids for that purpose. Plus, the computer on her ship isn't just an AI, it's the "brain" of her deceased captain when she served the Federation. I believe the computer was capable of scanning and knowing what is and isn't a X parasite.

actually your more right than you know. because the game specifically states the x-parasites were not detected in their biology. not to mention when he brought up that ostrich thing and the shine spark, that immediately reminded me of how cheetahs can actually do what a car can do but to a lesser extent. same problem happens with the shine sparking ostrich. it stops half way up and falls.

2 holes in your theory. 1) if the animals were already x parasites zebes would have been overrun with them when Samus came, as there were no metroids prior to the game. Did they just sit around waiting for something to happen because life on that planet tasted funny? 2) although the chozo didn’t tell anyone about the metroids killing off the X it’s quite clear people know, otherwise nobody would have known to make the vaccine for samus.

Now that the new Metroid game came out, mat pretty much nailed it on the head
