Discussion Fuck Ridley, fuck Kraid, fuck Mother Brain, when is Crocomire coming back?

[Mekanos]

Look at this fella, isn't he adorable? His only claim to fame is an easy boss fight in Super Metroid where you push him into lava and (cruelly) watch him burn alive. But he could be so much more! Why not put him in Smash? Or perhaps a video game where you play as Crocomire? The possibilities are endless. He was almost in Zero Mission but Nintendo cut him because they knew if included, he would be so popular that nobody would ever want to play as Samus again.

He could even be in Mario Kart as Dry Crocomire:

Fellow Crocoheads, we must ask the question, when will we get our day?

 

[GPKs3]

The very first time I ran into this thing, it scared the crap out of me. The music didn’t help either.

 

[Suswave]

CROCOMIRE RULES

 

[dyle]

He dead

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

It's honestly the least they can do if they want to regain the trust of the crocommunity.

 

[Jahranimo]

I played Super Metroid for the first time back in 2013 (I know, I know lol) and didn't know too much about the game so when that part happened with the Crocomire skeleton popped out at the last second it made me jump.

I was honestly really impressed something like that so old and unexpected got me. They should bring em back, even as an easter egg!

 

[Stilt Village]

As usual, Donkey Kong does what Metroidon't.

 

[Samus95]

Sad that it got cut in Zero Mission

 

[Sheldon]

I never wanted Super Smash Kart or Nintendo Kart, but you sold me on it with "Dry Crocomire".

I first beat SM in 2012 so I'm right there with you

It still became one of my favorite games even 20 years later

 

[Joe]

I was very scared when I started reading the topic title because I thought this was going to be an F Marry Kill thing.

Holy shit! I had no idea.

 

[Deleted member 3433]

Nah, I want all of 'em in one game...and more!

 

[AtomicZach]

Holy shit! I had no idea.

Samus’s ship is also in another level.

 

[chocolate_supra]

*ahem*

 

[Stilt Village]

Samus’s ship is also in another level.

That was Tropical Freeze, which also has an actual live Metroid in it that was so well-hidden nobody found it for four years.

Wait, what?

 

[GPKs3]

*ahem*

 

[MrBones]

Crocomire literally did nothing wrong. Samus is a murderer.

 

[Clov]

Mekanos gets it

Prime 4 needs a Meta Crocomire fight where he's a cyborg skeleton. The space pirates saved his bones...!

 

[SpaceGodzilla]

Wait, what?

 

[AxkilAvenger]

I’ll be a gentleman and say I’d never have intercourse with any listed in the title of this thread. Also Crocodile died a pretty permanent death in super. He ain’t coming back.

 

[Stilt Village]

Wait, what?

I'm fond of this story because I'm actually a footnote in it. Shortly after the game released, I was looking through the sound files and found one named "Metroid Sekrit" in the folder for Amiss Abyss. I brought it to people's attention on DK Vine, but at the time nobody knew what to make of it, and it took four years for a member to actually find the secret itself and reveal it to the public, which is why the discovery was framed the way it was.

 

[chocolate_supra]

Crocodile died a pretty permanent death in super.

And Ridley didn't?

And Kraid didn't?

And.. literally Metroids didn't?

 

[DittoM]

He died

 

[OctoSplattack]

And Kraid didn't?

I still want to know he survived a planet going boom. Ridley and the Metroids are at least cloned from DNA samples the Federation had lying around for one reason or another. Kraid just... shows back up.

 

[Deleted member 1896]

I remember the first screenshots of Other M and thinking the monster that was ultimately Vorash was a 3D Crocomire.

 

[Earthbounder]

Samus’s ship is also in another level.

I think I remember seeing a pic of that one.

Pretty awesome stuff.

 

[Phosphorescent Skeleton]

Rock da croc

 

[thoughthaver]

crocomire was indicted and arrested on 42 counts of grand larceny and 10 counts of being an unregistered foreign agent

 

[ngpdrew]

Finally! About damn time someone put respect on Crocomire’s name.

 

[AtomicZach]

And Kraid didn't?

He got better.

 

[Aurc]

I love Crocomire's Zero Mission sprite. He lacks his red, melty skin here, so it looks like he was gonna get pushed into acid, explaining his appearance in Super!

*ahem*

That's weird, I didn't see him during the Republican debates tonight

 

[MondoMega]

I'll be lining up for the Croc O. Mire plush when they start selling them at the Nintendo Stores.

iirc it's just some random ass kraid

They should absolutely bring him back! They actually wouldn't even need to go the bone recovery route, since Prime 4 takes place before the poor bloke dies via lava, so he'd be in prime shape (no pun intended)! They should stop bringing the other guys back, and give love to the one who's only had a single appearance. #RockDaCroc

Is Bogmire Croc O. Mire's Ghost...?....!

This upsets me more than it should.

We don't have official confirmation in either direction. It could be the same Kraid from Zebes, or it could simply be a member of the same species.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

We must secure an exclusive Famiboards interview with Sakamoto to provide clarification on this matter.

I'll bet you anything the dude has no idea himself. I think until they say something about Kraid in Dread, I'm just gonna assume it's a clone, or a totally different bloke. It's either that, or there was a crew on Zebes who captured him within the small window between Samus blasting his Krussy into oblivion, and the planet getting blown up, which would be silly!

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

blasting his Krussy into oblivion

 

[Yamanoi]

I thought this forum was rated E for everyone? What's with the swearing?

Famiboards has thankfully patented the swearing, don't worry.

@Yamanoi, actually I think Danny DeVito statues are in Metroid.

 

[xghost777]

I think it’s Kraid brother, also named Kraid.

 

[Aurc]

How large do you reckon the Kraid family is? It's scary to imagine a whole lineage of the big guys. Surely there aren't just male Kraids, but female ones as well?

Samus slaughtering every Kraid like:
