fucking yes, rofl. <3

I like croissants.

Well that bug looks like one.

It does.

I don't think I can eat him though.

Seeing as how you have to use the screw attack just to kill one I think they'd be kind of hard to eat.

Exploding the planet isn't a very good method of cuisine, either.

I can't remember if she blows up a planet.

I think I'm thinking of Fusion.

Super Metroid does too.

My point stands.

Toasty­~

Name me a Metroid game that DOES NOT involve the destruction of a planet, complete with a harrowing escape sequence.

Hmm... ummm.. does the Leviathan count?

Actually...good question.
And Phaaze blows up, but you don't have to make a run back for your ship.

hard to miss the first and second.

MY RUNNING TALLY:
Metroid II: Return of Samus. No timed escape sequence after killing the Metroid Queen. You just kind of wander back to your ship and then that's the game.
Metroid Prime: Escape sequence/Ridley Theme early in-game, but not at the very end though. Tallon IV remains intact.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: Defeating Dark Samus and AU-313 causes Phaaze to destabilize and explode violently, but there is no escape sequence.

Somehow you're still missing the very first metroid game. and with that, I guess zero mission.

Wait, what? No, dude, you blew up the Mother Brain and then you had to run up the elevator shaft platforms to the door at the top.
Super Metroid was very explicit about your return to Zebes through that same elevator shaft.
Same applies for Zero Mission; in fact you have to do -two- escape runs.

wasn't this all about planets blowing up and -not- escape sequences?

Argh! Technicality!

wait wait wait we're all getting confused. It's a matter of Escape sequences vs. planets blowing up.

Metroid 1: escape sequence? Yes. Planet blows up? No.

Metroid II: neither escape sequence nor planet blowing up.

Super: Both escape and planet blowing up.

Prime: Escape, no exploding planet

P2: Escape dark Aether., but no exploding planet.

P3: Escaping shit and an exploding planet.

Fusion: escaping BSL and restricted sector. Both blow up along with SR-388.

That one Other Game: stuff blows up and there is a timed escape, but not till the very very end.

Hunters: I think something blows up... isn't there a timed escape too?

Fusion?

Wrong. Fusion had both the detonation of SR388, and the thrilling escape sequence from the B.S.L. station used as a giant fuck-off missile to kill the X parasite.

Alright. I don't remember detonation of SR388.

There's a ten-second cinematic of the B.S.L. station smashing into the planet.

Let's face it, Samus loves genocide whether she knows it or not.

"Hey look, a zoomer! It's not actually trying to hurt me, hardly inflicts ten damage and I'd have to be blind in order to get hit by it...KILL THE FUCKERS!!"

true dat

Girl blows up a LOT of planets!

And in FUsion.
Spaceship crash

Fusion tosses the station into the sun
Zero Mission has Mecha Ridley self destruct destroying the planet

Mecha Ridley/Uncle Ted does not destroy Zebes. Only the pirate mothership.

Wrecked Ship is not the pirate mothership either. The dev team confirmed they were different.

the station is tossed into SR-388

yeh sorry my bad i forgot XD so long ago

Awesome!

this is great you just made my day

X3

This bug does need more fanart! :o

I agree

... until you get the space jump and screw attack. Then they're fodder.

I left them alone.

I did too... :/ for the most part, unless they got in my way... or I need a super missile... or was low on health...

omg that's so mean

For a sec I thought I was the only person who though that creature had a striking resemblance to that french bread roll. XD

Well it's even golden brown, so...

Lol ripper

Epic.

holy shit the description made me laugh

They are pretty awesome.

All hail the one true plat form king!!!!!!

The background makes this, seriously.

ilu and im a retard, i was thinking theere was something about cicada's i didnt know

I don't think they stay in the air when you freeze them. Plus they have that ridgey thing on their face.

Do they taste any good with fresh ham, cheese and tomato?

It's doubtful. If you kill one they likely turn into a Super Missile.

My mind is boggling at the concept of a breakfast pasty turning into high-explosive ordinance

if it's a floating bug, does that make it any better?

Yes. It's a great picture, all my reality nit-picking aside

PS: although I'm some kind of fag I keep wanting to ask, where's the tits?

Maybe I'll do an antrho version sometime.

Oh yeah, them buggers. XD

They're called rippers...but they don't rip.

They are just bugs that look like croissants that you can freeze and use as platforms

It's the best type of platform-based-insect/alien-looking-type-of-thing.

The super missiles they drop are not, they too often absorb into samus when she touches them. Terrible.

Hmm, you should, perhaps.. draw one.

A super missile or ripper.

Cause frankly; i'll do both.

The buuuug, look at my icon. Look at it for a goood, loooooong tiiimmmeeeee.... hnrg.

I didn't even notice that it looked like a croissant until you mentioned it. x)

Dammit, now I'm Jonesing for croissants. D:

Just Lol !

Fuck yes. And they're destroyable with the corkscrew attack too :D

Their called "rippers."

Yeah... Rippers... and yet they don't rip. XD i'm kinda glad that the MP series didn't have the miles and miles of vertical tunnels that you had to jump from Ripper to Ripper in. That'd have really sucked. XP

What was the name of the larger ones with like, the 'rocket' on their back ends? Were those just bigger Rippers, or did they have a different name? *always felt Rippers were like, the Pupua stage of those things)

They were called Red Rippers and Green Rippers I think.

interesting. I always thought the Red Rippers were the older regular Rippers... and that the ones deep deep down in Norfair were like, made of solid BONE (cuz ya couldn't freeze them, though ya could use them as a grapple spot.). Oh wait, there WAS green ones too! XD Forgot about those.

I never thought about Metroid enemies in that much detail.

Eh. When ya play the game enough to try and figure out the quickest routes, to get that '3 hour' limit thing... ya end up wondering about the monsters you face, and how they 'evolved' on that planet. XD

You should draw one you know.

LoL.. I could, but it wouldn't be that good. XD

And you can even kill the red ones if you shoot them a billionty times! :O

This is making me crack up, and I have no idea why.

I've seen your work and comments around FA for so long. Anything remotely 'troid tickles my fancy so let me give you this latest batch of freshly baked YES.

That's a way better name than Ripper and Ripper MKII.

I wonder if I can find them in my back yard.

HELL YES I love that one bug that looks like a croissant that you can freeze and use as a platform! I want this tattooed on my buttcheek

I am going to draw one, too.

Good, we need to start a meme of drawing it.

it begins... http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2074179/

oooohhh ssshhiiiii-

No it's a Zoomer, Rippers are the ones with the jets.

Wait... Nevermind, Zoomers are the spikey bug things.

I need to play metroid more.

its alot better than that other bug, that looks like a helmet that doesn't feel pain from missiles and just keeps wandering around because its too much of a pest to freeze or waste a super missile

That one is annoying.

I keep hearing the heroic M. Bison "YES YES" bagpipe music in my head whenever I glance at this.

Hmm, maybe you should draw one.

OMG I just about pissed my pants I was laughing so hard. I was playing metroid Zero Misison for the classic funs on my DS while going through submissions, and I litterally just got to the part with the ice beam where you have to start freezing those guys for the first time! LMAO!!!

*would type more, but cannot type through the laughter*

Always good to know that something I did made someone nearly soil themselves!

I -- you -- bug -- croissant?
You broke my mind.

Did you know you can walljump off them when they're frozen too?

They kinda shake all weird like when you do

I was not aware of this.

neither was I, pretty awesome discovery though.

It's amazing the amount of secrets and shit there were back in the good ol days of good games

LOL^23. .

...Hell yes..

Is it just me, or does it look like it's smiling?
Good god, it's almost CUTE!

It is cute and I'll hear nothing different!

I mean... Eh... It's alrig-- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOBUG.

Did this critter make an appearance in metroid prime? It's actually quite cute xD

I only played Corruption.

oh no, that's the worst of the three in my opinion D: You really must get your hands on the first one, it's a classic! :D

I can't stand playing an FPS with a controller though.

Europe is getting a re-release of MP1 with motion controls on the Wii. For reasons I can't even guess at, I haven't heard of any plans to release it in the US.

one of the more epic avatars

robotnik: I SEE

*freezes and cuddles one* <.<

WHY GOD WHY

what is this bug, and where is it from?

It's an enemy that floats around in Super Metroid. It's right there in the keywords as well.

thanks

It has gone to the nth degree.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2091563/

Never played the games and still hilarious. :D

Lawl yay super metroid great job they needed some fanart ^.^

That's the point of it.

*Has a Ripper on a leash and collar* hmmm so i see, anyways good job, i am gong to get started on mine now*hides it so it won't be frozen cuddling it abit*

Ah, how I miss the good old days of frozen croissant bug platform jumping...

that bug....is fucking awesome......nuff said X3

you want me to draw one? just like this! and slug has some pretty good ideas! i love croisants and i'm rather hungry! i'l go eat croisants and then maybe i'll post a picture of this. do you have any more reference of this bug?

http://tsgk.captainn.net/index.php?.....info&t=285

Funny how I ate a croissant the other morning and was thinking of taking a picture of it for this =3

-Seth

This kind of shot over my head. Mind explaining?

Have you ever played Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, or Metroid Zero Mission?

There is this one bug in it that looks like a croissant that you can freeze and use as a platform. They are everywhere.

Well... No... No I haven't. Thank you for explaining.

good memories. ^^

And you've made me hungry for croissants.

my reaction?!

BWAAAAAAAA OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

Cute yet annoying without an ice beam.

Hehe.

I ALSO SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!

LOL, your avatar.

Thank you spin attack! Now I can enjoy my croissants WITHOUT freezing them.

Hell yes, represent.

A bug, is it? Somehow it always struck me as an alien turtle. Waay off..

But turtles don't fly. Bugs do.

But neither hover, especially without wings. And besides, who's to say what strange abilities an alien turtle may or may not come to possess?

That one bug that looks like a croissant that you can freeze and use as a platform is pretty great, but that one bug that looks like a croissant that you can freeze and use as a platform with the jet butt is better, IMO.

Aweosme man

They look like flying isopods. D:

Man...er, woman the screw attack!!

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2466818/ I think my contribution is way too silly.

No contribution is too silly.

WHY are they called rippers? I've never seen these little guys rip up much of anything?

I have no idea. They just are, I suppose.

What is this mysterious creature!?

It's that one bug, you know, that looks kinda like a croissant that you can freeze and use as a platform.

Oh!

That one , how could i ever forget about THAT bug, i mean after all it kinda looks like a croissant that you can freeze and use as a platform.

Except cuter

This picture makes me feel warm. <3

For some reason, I could imagine some random voice saying that in an episode of Flapjack. XD

:O


Must do!

I <3 Super Metroid

Yes,
YES!!

That's one of my favorite videogame monsters!

A lot of other peoples' too, if the amount of people that drew one is any indication!

it's a cute bug! :3 i want a pet one. x3

I think we all do.

BUUUUUGS

GOD TIER

No! Fuck that bug! It was always a bitch and always bit me whenever I was jumping up the vertical corridors. Then it's like *bite* and then like FUCK OW! and I'd shoot it but NO! No they had to be pricks and not die.

That fucking changed when I got Screw Attack. It was also cool to not see 'em in the Prime games.

Hard to kill bastards.

Well none of the Prime games were on Zebes so it makes sense.

Their lives all suck. *turn** Oh lool, a wall! *turn* oh look, a wall!.... forever.

It may look like a croissant, but it sure doesn't taste like one! D:

Oh they TOTALLY look like Croissants! Fortunately i hate croissants.

God damn it that thing is a croissant now.

Isn't that thing that flying bug thing from metroid.....thing.....?

yes.

thingthingthingthing I LIKE TRAINS...........'EY WATTYA KNOW....IT DOES LOOK LIKE A CROISSANT.....thats the french thing aint it?.........AIOShpifu8-u9DSKAOJPIUIF)SIY&)*(IUK:jfdosfiksjd

well that was random

The real hero of the Metroid games.

Having seen this, I can now die a happy man.

I like the red ones.

-_-

OMG I think you beat them caz when I use a power bomb it kill it I think that was odd.

you can.

Yea you can but it keep you from your of are you to go in the game I try it in super Metroid and like OMG I think I broke the game or something but still OMG!

The name for this thing is ripper and there three forms of hem there is ripper, ripper II, and a gripper.

When you get the screw attack you can kill them to I try it and like OMG!

Gawd I hate Rippers. Thank you screw attack!

Now if only there was a bug that looks like a croissant that you can freeze and use as a platform that stayed frozen long enough for you not to have to try six times...

I always just wall jumped.

God Bless the screw attack. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I want an alien croissant now.

Truly this is my greatest work

I was wondering if those wee bugs in Super Metriod

yeah, they're in super metroid as well.

I always thought it looked like a bronze turtle, lol.

A valid interpretation.

This is literally the E621 Tag for the rippers from Metroid.

I have made my mark on society

Every time I turn a critter into a platform in a Metroidvania I am reminded of this picture

excellent
