Flower Kingdom Enemies

The Island of Nitronocus is a dangerous place to live, but with the abundance of knights who fight and explore allow these kingdoms to be livable. Doesn’t mean that these threats will back down easily

Samus nods at Zizzi as she explores Tourian. "This Power Suit also comes in different features, like this Gravity Suit." She said as she changes her Varia Suit to her Gravity Suit to a purple color. "This Gravity Suit grants me resistance to lava damage, and helps me get through underwater areas." She spoke.

She then sees a few Metroid larva, and quickly freezes them and takes them out with a few Missiles. "Metroid larva... We must be getting close to finding the baby." Samus said until she spotted brittle husks of the wildlife of Planet Zebes, even one of a Torizo, a term for hostile animated Chozo Statues in Samus's adventures.

"These creatures had their energy drained out of... What did this?" Samus asked as she saw a Blue Sidehopper approaching. She was going to attack, until a Big Metroid latched itself on it, draining its energy, leaving it to a husk.

"So, not a whole lot going on around here. So do I just head inside?" Zizzi would asked into her ear piece as she was walking by a space ship. Looking over a door as she got ready to head inside. (Samus)

"Zizzi, wait a minute! Somebody's coming out from inside that space ship." Chronoa said from the Time Nest to Zizzi's ear piece.

Out of the Gunship was Samus Aran, the intergalactic Bounty Hunter donning her Power Suit as her theme began to play as she leaped out of the ship and landed on the ground.

"That's... that's Samus Aran, the Bounty Hunter!" Chronoa said in awe. Samus then turns her attention to Zizzi as she aimed her Arm Cannon at her. "Who are you?" Samus spoke about to shoot.

“A Side-Hoppin Birthday"

Yes, it's Cinco de Mayo, but today's the day I celebrate my older sister's birthday. :) These buggers are the coolest - and one of the most confrontational - guys on Zebes. They also love cake.

Happily be!

8 Amazing Characters Who Should Totally be Super Smash Bros Fighters

So, Nintendo has today announced that they are going to have the Piranha Plant as a downloadable  playable character in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. For those who don’t remember, the Piranha Plant is the Nintendo version of that movie Teeth, about the vagina with a mouth in it, but with leaves. They also announced they’re offering a Season Pass for…content they haven’t created yet. I, as always, have some suggestions. If Nintendo can make a playable fighter out of Photosynthesis Death Vagina, it can damn well make one out of all these guys.

Goomba

Well, this does seem like the next logical step, doesn’t it? With Piranha Plant in there, we need the other cannon fodder which defined the 80’s in video games. This little guy has gotten lots of new abilities over the years, from wings to a tail to spitting poison in Super Mario RPG, so he could actually work. The only downside is that if anything hits him on the head, even a feather, he instantly dies.

Army Men

The gaming landscape just hasn’t been the same since 3DO imploded and took these little guys with them. Imagine a hundred plastic soldiers marching over a digital battlefield, laying waste to everything in their path. Just don’t choose them as your fighter in sunny levels---they melt.

Clint Eastwood

Get off his lawn.

Sidehopper

Speaking of characters that could actually work, this guy can hop. He can even hop…on the side. He’s got claws, and…look, I just wanted to put something from Metroid in here, okay? I went to the Wiki and picked something. I forgot what this thing even is already.

Twitter

Twitter marches onto the Smash Bros battlefield, attacking by hurling racial epithets, refusing to ban cheating players, giving Kanye West a platform, and, in their Final Smash, increasing the character limit in a desperate bid for relevance. Retweet THIS to your followers, Nintendo!

Link with the Minish Cap

Well, we already have almost every other version of Link, and we can’t do the Fierce Deity version or any of the Mask versions, because those would actually be cool. Instead, let’s do this version. Sure, the game was good, but what the fuck are you gonna do with this dude? Give him the power to shrink? Ooooooooh, scary! For his Final Smash, maybe he can shrink below microscopic level and die. I don’t know. Figure something out, Nintendo. You got a frikkin’ potted plant with teeth, I think you can handle this.

Big the Cat

With rumors that Shadow might be a playable character in the new game, one thing is abundantly clear: Nintendo is probably going to put every down-market loser to ever appear in the shitty Sonic games in there before they just listen to the goddamn fans and get around to Knuckles. Amy Rose? Cream the Inappropriately Named Rabbit? An actual power ring? Why the fuck not? Let’s just start with the dumbest goddamn loser in all of Sonicdom, Big the Cat. Anybody but fuckin’ Knuckles, amitrite?

A Duck

Quack.

Have you ever felt the blue sidehoppers in SM's Tourian were also fascinating enemies? The idea of strong mutation variants likely bred by Mother Brain to withstand the toughest of damage would imply they could be a creation nearly on par with Metroids themselves. In context, those sidehoppers take a whopping 5 Super Missiles to kill each, so it's not worth actually doing so. But still, 5 super missiles def makes them a rather notable enemy compared to others?

I guess I've never really thought much about them. If anything I think they're mostly just buildup to show how strong the big Metroid is, with how easily it dispatches one before going after you.

Sidehopper venom? Actually nevermind, I’d rather not think about it.

*Martin sat up while feeling groggy but he noticed that his wounds had been adequately sealed. The rest the self sustaining darkness could fix*

Not bad, so if you don’t mind me asking, what’s a battalion from Mother Brain doing here? I’d feel like she would take advantage of this chaos and-ah that’s probably the answer right there.

[motheratfacetroid]

Tourian Technician: Welcome to camp, Martin. We administered sidehopper venom, standard procedure. Data suggests it isn't harmful to humans. Glad to put that theory to test.

*Demeter waved at Tsey. Damaris began pouring a glass of wine for him.*

Xel: Our orders are to take out the infrastructure for this sector. Shut down the power grids, our eyedrones will deploy a message from Mother to the citizens here. The Lucifuge will meanwhile be scanning for irregular energy readings. Anything the Feds are keeping running on energy reserves are fair game to target.

Damaris: What if it's just some local with a backup generator?

Xel: The scans are sensitive enough, we're looking for bigger readings than a home generator could produce.
