I didn’t go to all the trips, and on one of those trips my brother bought a new SNES game: Super Metroid.

It was thanks to those trips that I purchased my original copy of Pokemon Red. and buy games for cheap at the flea market. I really liked those trips because we would dine at Carl’s Jr. When I was younger, my family used to do frequent trips to Monterrey, to get a checkup for my brother and his medical condition. My only comfort was knowing that we would eventually had to return the rental, and since we rarely rented the same game twice, my woes would be over. From that moment I decided that I didn’t want to know anything about the game ever again. My brother and cousin didn’t share this thought, and in classic family bullying fashion, they forced me to watch the fight. When you are a child, it seems very easy to be able to run away from your fears. It really was a shame, because that fight was one of the most epic moments in video game history. I had to leave the room and run the the living room crying because of fear. When I first saw Mother Brain in her tank, I was petrified, then seeing her with her monstrous body scared me beyond belief.

This is coming from a child who actually had to walk away from the movie theater when watching The Matrix because of the scene where a bug crawls into Neo’s belly button. I’m going to say that I was quite a coward on my younger days. We finally got to Tourian, and after many metroid fights we were able to reach the final boss: Mother Brain. An epic struggle for many different reasons It was thanks to this that we were able to get to the final boss of the game, and how my nightmare actually began. The magazine included a bunch of cool tricks too, like wall jumping. We had a video game magazine that had a walkthrough for Super Metroid, a game we might not have been able to clear otherwise. My older brother wanted to rent Super Metroid, so in a way that was the “mature” game we rented, while Mickey’s game was the “childish” one among the bunch. I had no interest in the game, in fact I remember that I rented Mickey’s Magical Quest for myself. It was on one of those trips to the video store that my brothers would first rent Super Metroid. From the Mushroom Kingdom to Baron, from the past to 20XX. It was thanks to that that I was able to save many different worlds from disaster. It was the highlight of every Friday, because my parents would take us to rent some games while they rented movies. As with any 90’s child, I loved to go to the video store and rent some SNES games. I remember my first encounter with Super Metroid a lot. Those who are close to me know the ties I have to the game, but today I want to take advantage of its anniversary to share my story with the rest of the world. I didn’t know it back then, but Super Metroid would eventually become a very integral part of my life for different reasons. 24 years ago, Super Metroid was released.
