The Great Metroid Area Ranking: Skytown + Area 3 (Samus Returns) + Golden Temple (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 Omega Team Member Zach Guillot to discuss some heavy hitters in the series: the beautiful, ethereal Skytown, Elysia from Corruption, an area with multiple amazing set pieces and boss fights; the Gamma Metroid infested Area 3 from Samus Returns, a massive area that houses the most amount of Metroids of any one particular area; and AM2R’s brilliant recreation of Area 1, the Golden Temple, home of Chozo Shrines and imagery! For the first time in months, we’re crowning a new #1 overall area, so make sure to tune in!

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