User:RoyboyX

RoyboyX (also known as Roy, Royboy, RB and RBX) is a hunter as skilled as Samus. He has killed many red links, vandals, stubs and battle guides in battle (no pun intended), and continues to do so. Any pages that suffer from lackage of info or images will receive them. Suit color is blue, favorite game is Super Metroid, favorite beam is Plasma Beam. Morph Ball looks like the Spider Ball in Prime, the dent and energy are light blue and the outer plating is dark blue.

...

Anyhoo, that out of the way, here is a message left by Roy himself...

When I arrived here on Wikitroid on March 21, 2009 (6 days before I turned 16) my goal was to expand this Wikia as much as possible. And I have, but it isn't enough. I have played every game (except Pinball and Other M, duh it hasn't come out yet) and have mastered information from each and become Mother Brain 2.0. (lol) Thanks to these guys, I am now an administrator!

With the help of my friends here on Wikitroid I plan my image collecting expeditions and attacks upon defenseless vandals, red links, stubs and battle guides. I also search the pages to clear up the epidemic that is caused by the evil mechanism, the Rich Text Editor.

When it comes to Wikia editing I do not know a lot about it, but I do know a lot about Metroid so ask me almost anything!

Biography


I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I live a pretty hard life, but I love where I live, and, yeah. That's it.

I have written a long story called Metroid Dread. Check my user blog to see it. DONE!!!

In my free time I am also a sprite ripper. I have noticed how many frames in Metroid spritesheets that people have forgotten to rip, which ticks me off. So I am going to have to finish the sheets and organize them as I see fit. I may post them to Metroid Fan Mission, but after a while, and when I really start ripping sprites. I intend to rip:

From Metroid:
 * A full rip of Samus including the unused alternate set of sprites and all endings
 * Tilesets and other things

From Super Metroid:
 * Power Suit (duh)
 * Varia Suit (duh)
 * Gravity Suit (duh)
 * Phantoon (duh)
 * Shaktool (that little robot thing in Maridia before the Spring Ball)
 * Space Pirates in green, red and pink
 * Intro Font (the font of the text during the intro)
 * Zebesian Map (the map that shows up when you reload a saved file)
 * Drained enemies (the carcasses of the enemies in Tourian)
 * Beam and Missile FX (duh, includes some other things as well)
 * Gold Torizo
 * Torizo
 * Metroid II flashback (the part during the intro where Samus finds the hatchling)
 * Gunship (I found some sprites of it but it's missing the platform animation)
 * Map tiles

From Fusion:
 * Fusion Suit full rip
 * Varia Suit full rip
 * Gravity Suit full rip
 * SA-X Suit full rip
 * SA-X full rip
 * Nightmare
 * Yakuza
 * Nettori
 * Dachoras and Etecoons
 * Creatures
 * Samus pixelart (I know Kenji Imatake did it but he's missing some poses)
 * Human Core-X
 * Space Pirates
 * X Parasites (including the video capture that Adam shows you)

From Zero Mission:
 * Power Suit full rip
 * Varia Suit full rip (both versions on one sheet)
 * Gravity Suit full rip
 * Zero Suit full rip
 * Creatures
 * Environmental objects (zipline activator and ball launcher)
 * Large sprites
 * Beam and Missile FX

I have a huge collection of the sprites from each game saved on my computer, and I am still improving them.

I also rip from other games that are not Metroid, though to a lesser extent.

Right now I'm also a writer. I have this composition book that I found in my desk about a month ago (I'm not sure) and so I have been adding stuff to it. It includes the following: a comic from long ago that is now illegible, another comic from recently that is just plain dumb, some Metroid fanfics about the Ylla (mentioned in Luminoth and Bryyonian Lore) and some of my fan creations which are listed below, drafts for Dread, lists for my sprite ripping, drawings of Samus, cutouts of pictures from Auximines's Justin Bailey hack of Super Metroid, recipes from demos of Personal Trainer: Cooking (All I have at the moment is mac and cheese and lasagna but I'll get the full game and make myself a cookbook) and a rather stupid draft of a Twilight fanfic. Recently I have been adding objectives, goals and other things to help improve this place.

On Wikitroid, I am a trustworthy editor, number 13 on the top contributors. Before I became an admin I was granted the right of rollback. I will never let you down as I am here every single day. Even if I don't make an edit I take time out of my busy schedule to look at what's going on. I patrol edits when I can during the morning and afternoon periods because of school *rolls eyes*, but occasionally I will be active all the time (on Tuesdays I go home for lunch, so that counts). Sometimes I may also be able to sneak on during school hours. The main page is blocked but I can sneak on by googling something and then clicking the link.

When it comes to Wikia editing I am not all knowing, so forgive me if I make a mistake.

Subpages:
 * User:RoyboyX/History of Wikitroid (an essay on things in Wikitroid)
 * User:RoyboyX/Metroid Fusion Beta (info on my upcoming ROM hack of Fusion)
 * User:RoyboyX/Training Grounds (where I test out my sigs and other things)

Fav sites:
 * Metroid Database (they have tons of translated manga, provide really good news on Metroid and stuff)
 * Metroid Recon (unlike the MDb, they have walkthroughs that are not all text, have high quality pictures for each guide and detailed Logbook, Credits, Extras, Endings, Powerup and Boss guides.)
 * Here (duh)

Mission Log


This section lists my current projects and notable accomplishments of mine here on Wikitroid. I have completed several tasks no one else has and continue to do so.

Beat Exterminator to become the 13th featured user.

Edit: Beat KFan II and Piratehunter to become 11th featured user.

Edit 2: Beat Metroidhunter32 and Dark Ridley to become 9th. Catching up to Dazuro. Exterminator, the competition is on! May the best editor win!

Edit 3: Beat Dazuro to become 8th. Working my way up to Wookie123.

Edit 4: Beat Wookie123 and am now #7. Time to go up against Armantula513 and Richard1990!

Edit 5: Beat Armantula513, now I've only got five more users to surpass in order to be the top contributor!

Edit 6: Beat Richard1990, only four users left to go up against.

Edit 7: Beat FastLizard4, now going up against MarioGalaxy2433g5.

Edit 8: Beat MarioGalaxy2433g5, only got 2 more people to fell.

I am notable for writing many Logbook entries to each article lacking them, navigating much of Aether and Dark Aether (along with Exterminator and other users), making pages for the rest of the creatures in Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission (which wouldn't have been possible without Zeruel21), making pages for every Captain N comic that is relevant to Metroid, adding Secret World info to many articles, completing the tracklistings on the soundtracks and writing the plots for the 1986 manga, the MP1 comic and what has so far been translated of Samus and Joey (waiting for chapter 3). I have also made pages for the five outstanding Herakles Task Force troopers, and the Concept and Soundtrack Gallery pages, as well as expanding upon the Bonus Gallery page, among many other projects and tasks. The MP bonuses are all in a category called Extras where all the extras are listed (Metroid included). Also have helped to make ULF 1, 5 and 24 into Yameba, Airthorn and Hornoad redirects. Also changed Bikini to Justin Bailey, adding a history on the password on top of some info I didn't rewrite.

Below lists tasks that I am currently working on, and what I have accomplished.

Navigation tips and regulations
Several users are constantly navigating the game worlds, adding information about rooms. The one that most people are doing right now are Aether and Dark Aether. I discuss this on my WikiProjects and Updates blog. Well, here are some tips:
 * Try to be descriptive about a room. Enter a room, then look around it and take notes. Pause the game and see what rooms connect to it. Count the enemies in there (if it is something like Sandbats, just say countless Sandbats), and mention any items in there and how to obtain them. If there are Blueroot Trees or Blueroot growths in one room, mention it. Also, depending on area, add the appropriate template. Go to Forum:New Room Template to see all of them (but don't use the seperate Hunters templates, just use the one with all areas in it).
 * Navigate critical areas first, as you will have only one or very few chances to do so. Navigate all of the areas before the final one (i.e. Sky Temple, Phaaze) as there is no turning back.
 * If making an elevator room, add to the connecting rooms section the room that the elevator leads to. And, to every connecting room, add "via something door/blast shield" in brackets.
 * The games whom's rooms are complete are Echoes and Hunters.

Song tips and regulations
Another project I am working on is making music pages. Pages for songs that are named in Trilogy's Soundtrack Gallery, songs that play on Brawl stages and songs in the soundtracks. If you want to help, great. Here are some regulations.
 * Add pictures. If it's from the SM soundtrack, add the cover of the SM soundtrack. If it's the MP1/Fusion soundtrack, add the MP1 cover or Fusion cover depending on what the song is from. If it's a song in the Soundtrack Gallery and it isn't from MP1, don't add the boxart for Trilogy, add the boxart for the game it comes from. Same with Brawl.
 * Add info on later variations and link to the various themes on YouTube.

Game Log
This section lists my progress in all games and what I think of them.

Metroid - beat countless times. Could rarely beat without Narpas Sword.

Praise:
 * Justin Bailey mode

Criticism:
 * very hard
 * low quality music (for NTSC)
 * no map
 * no save
 * in the VC version there are unfixed glitches, flickering graphics and no save feature

Hacks:
 * Metroid Bold - Adds in the Japanese bonuses, like HQ music and less lag plus fixed glitches, but suitless Samus is retained.

Metroid II - I only started it and now I'm waiting for AM2R. Looks wayyyyyy better than the original. Applied a Justin Bailey patch to it and can't load it. Help? Please?

Praise:
 * Most revealing bikini Samus has worn.
 * If it wasn't for Metroid II Samus' Power Suit would still be lighting up and no extra armor would be shown. And she might have been a brunette/green haired girl (the Captain N comics don't count) for the rest of her life.

Criticism:
 * no map.
 * no backgrounds. I know it's an old game, but couldn't Nintendo have even thought of implementing it?
 * no DX version or remake. IGN at one point said that at MZM's release time Nintendo considered remaking RoS but didn't. DoctorM64, may you finish AM2R without a cease and desist. Maybe a remake could be called Metroid II Advance or Metroid II: Samus Returns Again.

Make a frigging remake already Nintendo! The fangames are great, but a lot of them cancel and some of them don't have nearly as much effort put into them.

Super Metroid - guffaw... guffaw... BEST. GAME. EVER. Beat countless times and still is not enough. Right now I'm ripping the crap out of it.

Praise:
 * Best game in the series.
 * Return to Zebes, which was an awesome planet.
 * Game over has suitless Samus :) but she's too bright to see :(.
 * The lamo hairstyle and purple hair were not retained from the comic.

Criticism:
 * NO JUSTIN BAILEY!!!
 * Could've had a remake for GBA. Like Super Metroid Advance or something. Had whoever not suggested porting Metroid instead.
 * I might've liked to hear the "lewd" voice in the game over.

Hacks:
 * Purple Hair Hack - Colors Samus' hair purple as in the comic.
 * Super Metroid Retro - All the old rooms return, the music is hacked, basically a redesign of Metroid. And yes, there will be armorless Samus that can be played on a second round.
 * Zero Suit Hack - Samus wears the Zero Suit instead of a bikini.

Metroid 64 - Alas, this never came to be. Mario and Link fans were treated with respect, while Metroid fans were left waiting for an eternity for one of these to come out. Next time you answer questions why this was never made Nintendo, don't use the excuse that you 'couldn't come up with any concrete ideas.' A Fusion for 64 might have been good.

Fusion - I liked the game, but didn't like its non-linearity, the difficulty of the bosses (20 deaths on Yakuza!!!!!), and the fact that SA-X could kill you instantly. Oh and the ending ripped off Super.

Praise:
 * None.

Criticism:
 * I practically already said it.
 * The 100% ending just features Samus morph out of her suit. Has the classic hand on hip pose, but you don't see her take her hair down, plus she looks like a guy after she morphs out of her suit. There's no more feelings of being alone, and human interaction and Samus talks way too much. Metroid Fusion is a mutilation of the classic Metroid series, and I hope Nintendo leaves it to collect dust, as they have with Metroid II.

Hacks:
 * The Infinite SA-X Chase - SA-X has to be outsmarted now during the Sector 2 encounter. You'll need speed, wits, good dodging skills and a lot of Ice Missiles to survive.
 * Metroid Fusion Beta - See the Beta Content page (in the Fusion section). A lot of YouTube users liked the beta elements, and so I am going to hack the game to get them back in.
 * Justin Fusion Bailey - What do you think? An armorless hack, the suits are based on the endings in each game and the SA-X is helmetless.

Zero Mission - I like this game too, but I can't help but wish it were longer. Maybe add in Maridia and other areas of Zebes.

Praise:
 * Nice game, nice graphics, good explanation of how the big shoulder pads came to be.
 * A suitless Samus sequence!

Criticism:
 * Mother Brain is hard (lasers and red lifesavers, OH MY).
 * WTF is with the loose locks on Samus! Get rid of them! (thanks Nintendo for doing so in MOM)
 * No hand on hip pose or taking hair down animation.
 * The escape theme doesn't have the uplifting part in the song (the one that got cut out of Echoes too).

Hacks:
 * Zero Mission Redesign - Items can be enabled/disabled, the Zero Suit is used longer, Missile Doors take 5 hits rather than one.

Prime - first played on Wii, now I always play on Trilogy. I will never go back to the GameCube pad! EVAR!

Praise:
 * Best next to Super Metroid.

Criticism:
 * graphic effects (using Charge beam and ripples in water) are gone in Trilogy.
 * No protection from lava with the Gravity Suit.
 * No armorless ending.

Echoes Bonus Disc - I have it as part of my GC MP1 copy. Like how the Dark and Light Beams are obtained early, but too short, even if it is a demo. First time I wasted my Light Beam ammo.

Echoes - I didn't enjoy it as much as the two others, but I do like it. I originally started on GameCube but when Trilogy was nearing release I halted progress. Working on an Aether navigation project right now.

Criticism:
 * Alpha Blogg and Chykka are hard for me.
 * Dark Pirate Commandoes, Dark Bloggs and Grenchlers are going to make Torvus Bog navigating difficult.
 * Samus looks bad in this game, compared to other games.
 * Could've had ZM connectivity. Beat MP2, get Zebes multiplayer stage and Zero Suit for use ingame, and beat ZM, get Metroid II unlocked for play.

Corruption - I loved it. Have beaten numerous times. I originally did the original (no pun intended) but like 2, Trilogy was nearing release so I halted progress.

Criticism:
 * Hypermode (difficulty) will be f****** hard.
 * Samus in the 100% ending looks around and it isn't very long, but the hand on hip does return. Also, too thin, anime style face. Ugh.

First Hunt - I mistakenly bought this and the puzzles were too hard, so I traded it in for the real game. I do not regret it.

Hunters - I beat it after numerous deaths (mostly on the escape sequences), and I am NEVER touching it again. Only to view the armorless cutscene and play deathmatches online.

Praise:
 * Best depiction of Samus to date.

Criticism:
 * Controls. Obviously.
 * Hunters and Guardians made for 16 deaths in the game.
 * WTF wasn't there an Oubliette map? And no lock-on!

Pinball - Hella hella hard. *says over 1,000,000,000 times*

Criticism:
 * What do I have to do to make the Cow show up?!
 * You can't shoot the ball into whatever you want, it takes forever.
 * Why wasn't there a Chozo Ruins table?
 * No suitless ending, in fact, NO ending at all except Prime exploding.

Trilogy - Got it on the first day, keeping it in excellent condition, collecting credits and currently navigating Tallon IV.

Criticism:
 * The graphical effects in Prime are gone, can't kill Ice Troopers with Missiles and no Sequence Breaking is possible anymore.
 * MP3 door loading takes 3 years!

Other M - Pumped for it!

Praise:
 * Intense action sequences (amazing dodge at Ridley)
 * I like that many of the appearances of things resemble that of Super Metroid (gives me the classic feel).
 * I also like how you have an NES controller-esque set of controls, plus a recreation of the best ending in video game history.
 * Samus is super hot (they reduced the loose locks in size, the body is sexy, etc. etc.)

Criticism:
 * Adam looks 45 rather than 36 as he used to (yeah yeah they're details I know). How dare he treat Samus coldly, and his nose is too big!
 * Come out sooner!

Smash Bros. - it's out on VC and I got it. I have it on computer emulator too. I can't really master the controls.

Criticism:
 * Samus is the worst character in this game, and they didn't add in the characters they wanted (Peach, Bowser, Dedede, Meowth, Mewtwo and Pit, I know they didn't have time but still) and worst of all, NO JUSTIN BAILEY!!!!! The congrats screen is too little and when Samus is shocked out of her suit she's just a dumb naked silver polygon. But there is a GameShark code that lets you play as this Samus. If you know what it is, GIMME IT BITCH.

Melee - I always play it at my friend's house. I kick yo ass as both Zelda and Samus of course. MAKE AN NPC! VERSION PLEASE NINTENDO!!!!!!

Criticism:
 * We aren't scared of Tamagon (scarier things have been growing in my fridge), and WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU HAVE EVENTS FOR AMERICA!!! Always thinks of Japan only. Oh, and event matches are too difficult. One more thing: NO JUSTIN BAILEY!!!!!!

Brawl - I frankly suck at Samus in this game, but I'm slightly better without her suit. I can still kick ass as Zelda though.

Criticism:
 * Samus has suffered a huge nerf from her killing moves in Melee, and Tabuu is the most f******** difficult boss in game history! (worse than Slench 4!).
 * Samus could've had her Hunters appearance. >:(

My Trilogy info
User:DoomZero has sent me three Vouchers, and User:RAN1 has sent me six. My Wii number is 5326 1182 2458 1764.

My Hunters info
Name: RBX

Hunter: Samus

Weapon: Missiles, Power Beam, whatever I can pick up during battles

I'm still relatively new to this game, so if you ever challenge me go easy.

Manga Log
1986 manga - Loved it. Very funny. Wrote the whole plot on the page.

Nintendo Comics System and Captain N - Meh, they were okay. I found it funny when Big Time got his ass kicked.

Praise:
 * Samus is blonde, the only time during the 80s era where Samus was blonde.
 * The early Zero Suit was pretty sexy.

Criticism:
 * Samus' leotard is lame (a collar? Blech).
 * She could've been based on her sprites (brown/green hair, pink swimsuit).

Super Metroid Comic - Blech, too different from the game.

Criticism:
 * WTF is with Samus' purple hair? She's BLONDE. Some say it's cool, some say it was early, but hey, if you can't get the 100% ending, die. You'll see Samus' hair color. No, I'm not complaining about her brown, green and red hair, just the purple hair.
 * WTF would Ridley flee?
 * Ending was mutilated. Rather than get epicly killed by a giant brain, the hatchling got shot by a fat, bald guy who really needs to go on a diet (take his food away Keaton!)

''Shonen Oh! Manga'' - Again, hilarious. Especially the one where she gets electrocuted.

Samus and Joey - Sort of kiddy (not really. Cussing!), but I'm reading it anyway. Eagerly awaiting third chapter.

MP1 Comic - Thardus in Chozo Ruins? Having the visors early? And Metroids are not aboard the Orpheon (Pinball doesn't count). The Phazon Suit doesn't get overloaded, it gets stolen. So inconsistent.

Episode of Aether - Awating English translation.

Metroid 2002 manga - I haven't really gotten into reading this, but I'll make myself.

Pirates - I've flipped through some pages. Even if the nudity is minimal, I don't like nudity so I'll ignore it.

Fanon
My fanon creations have been moved here:. You can also see my expansive collection of drawings there. I have finished Metroid: Avenger there with TerrorDactyl and The Exterminator, and am working on a sequel.

Go to my user blog to see my story Metroid Dread.

Soon, I will publish a Super Metroid novelization.

Samus Aran: The Girl in Armor
Like MDb's The Woman Behind the Visor feature, but on the history of armorless Samus.

In the original Metroid, Samus was thought to be a man, cyborg or robot. Even the English instruction manual said that, as did the 1986 manga and later, Samus and Joey. However, unless you were smart enough to know that Samus was the female variant for Seamus, you had to beat Metroid in under an hour to find out the true identity of Samus. A woman. If Metroid was cleared fast enough, Samus would strip down to a pink bikini, let her long hair down and wave to you before the credits rolled. And, the bonus was, if you pressed start at the end of the credits, you could play as Samus in this armorless form, and she would be just as strong. If you cleared the game with armorless Samus in under an hour, you would see her strip down to an even more revealing bikini, which was favored by schoolboys (such as me).

Later on, the infamous JUSTIN BAILEY -- -- password was discovered, and Samus spawned armorless in Norfair with Ridley and Kraid zapped and Tourian open for invasion. This was thought to be the only password that let you play as armorless Samus, but then the password 000000 000020 000000 000020 was discovered, and small symbols were placed next to passwords to tell you if you would be playing armorless or armored.

Unfortch, the passwords were taken out of the rest of the Metroid games. While this pleased many, it also disappointed those who like to play as Samus in a bathing suit. Thus, armorless Samus was limited to appearing in the best endings of the next two games, Metroid II and Super Metroid, and the game over in Super, as well as ROM hacks published of both games. Because Nintendo was too busy with Mario and Zelda to make the first 3-D Metroid and stop the endless Dread rumors from ever happening, the next Metroid game would not come until eight years later. During this time, Samus appeared in the two Super Smash Bros. installments, but except for a reflection in her congrats! screen, a brief second of a nude, silver body and a trophy that could not be obtained without hacking, armorless Samus was nowhere to be seen as playable in Smash Bros. Not even an alternate costume. *kicks ass of Nintendo*

After eight years, Metroid Prime and Metroid Fusion were released in 2002. Despite everyone's deepest wishes, armorless Samus was restricted to the game over of Fusion and the 100% endings of both games. It seemed that she was never coming back. Until Metroid Zero Mission two years later.

In this game, a remake of the first Metroid, Samus was shot down after killing Mother Brain, and she was forced to invade the Pirate's mothership, with only her wits, agility and a shocking gun to defend her. Later, she found the Varia Suit that holds the trademark round shoulder pads introduced in Metroid II and featured in every game since. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, released the same year, also had the Zero Suit as part of the 100% ending. If they'd added Zero Mission connectivity I'd say they could have made the Zero Suit and unlockable cosmetic recolor, much like the Fusion Suit in the original Prime. Echoes was the odd one out with the extras.

Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption featured the Zero Suit as well. In Corruption, the Zero Suit was featured in the introduction, a cutscene played after the defeat of the Mogenar boss and the 100% ending, which also featured a mysterious starship believed to be Sylux's Delano 7. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, released a year after Corruption, Samus was finally able to shed her armor and show us what she could do. Clad in her Zero Suit and armed with her Zero Mission Paralyzer and a new electric whip designed for Brawl, armorless Samus finally made her debut in Smash Bros., even if she wasn't as strong, or her outfit wasn't as sexy as we wished. Her alternate colors were based on the endings for Echoes, Fusion, Metroid, Super and her clothing from Captain N: The Game Master.
