Revision as of 20:50, 22 August 2010

This article is about the enemy in Super Metroid. For the creature in Metroid Fusion, see Yard (Metroid Fusion).
Metroid-yard

Yard are creatures that look like snails, with large armored shells. They can only be destroyed by Bombs, and are found in the pipe areas in Maridia in Super Metroid. They are harmless when not moving, and can be kicked around or juggled by Samus. After being kicked over, they will right themselves and continue moving.

Humorously enough, they make odd bouncing noises when kicked.

Hacking of Metroid Fusion's code has revealed unused sprites of the Yard's shell, though there is still the presence of creatures which may possibly be mimicked/X infected Yards with a vastly different shell in the final game. This indicates that the Yard with the original shell from Super Metroid was intended to appear in Fusion, but was dropped.
