The Great Metroid Area Ranking: Sector 3 Pyrosphere + Agon Wastes + Tourian (NEStroid)

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 again by Doominal Crossing to take stock of three very different areas: the slow, cerebral, and dangerous Tourian, where Samus first meets the Metroids and Mother Brain; the Space Pirate stronghold of Agon Wastes and its dark counterpart, Dark Agon, where the harsh enviroment is the least of the problems you’ll encounter; and Other M’s Sector 3: Pyrosphere, home of arguably the most infamous scene in all of Metroid, where Samus and Ridley have an unforgettable encounter – for all the wrong reasons.

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!
