The Great Metroid Area Ranking: Burenia + Sector 4 AQA + Hydro Station (AM2R)

Welcome back to The Great Metroid Area Ranking, the Hunter-Tier Patreon exclusive show where I, Andy Spiteri, will be ranking every single area in the Metroid series! This month, I’m joined by Ultra-Tier Patron and friend of the show Quaidrunner (or Paul, as I know him!) to get wet and slippery as we have a water themed triple header: AM2R’s amazing re-imagining of Area 2 as a Hydro Station, connecting SR388 via a complex piping system; Metroid Fusion’s Sector 4 AQA, home of the incredible Serris boss battle and the craziest Shinespark puzzle the series has ever known; and Burenia, Metroid Dread’s submerged section of ZDR that boasts some incredible backdrops and a truly elemental fight against the water itself.

Join the fun and consider signing up to Omega Metroid on Patreon to influence what areas get covered!

Follow along with the The Ranking so far!
