What the hell is this?

[u/DeepCutFan1]

Is it just a giant wall of sand?

[u/defyinglogicsl]

Rip shaktool.

Dude what did my boy robot digger do to you that you had to obliterate it? 😭

[u/Darknis_1 → u/Ill-Attempt-8847]

Their name is shaktool

[u/Ill-Attempt-8847 → u/Darknis_1]

I know, but this way I made a joke and also gave some help to the guy

I swear, the Maridia region turned me into a bigger sand hater than Anakin Skywalker.

[u/ironicaltwist88 → u/DeusExMarina]

THIS! I was dumbfounded when I realized Maridia is half n half water and sand.

[u/Ranko08 → u/DeusExMarina]

It's better on original hardware trust me. It still sucks but the quicksand is way less of a pain to traverse when you have absolutely 0 input delay

[u/longnuttz]

It's your own fault that you're staring at that wall

[u/Acceptable-Change501]

A wall of sands for the... Digger guy to clear for you. Hard to miss. He's a one of a kind creature or machinery 😂

[u/JacksonGames16]

Let the completely harmless robot dig for you

[u/typicalskeleton]

Yes it is. Did you kill the thing that's in there? Don't kill the thing.

[u/Mothershy → u/typicalskeleton]

trigger happy samus aint going no where

[u/comicgeek1128]

You gotta let the little man with the saw blades cook

[u/Revali33]

Look how they massacred my boy. 😢

[u/Thegoodgamer32]

You need buzzsaw-man-pants to get through there.

(If anyone understands the reference I'll be very happy.)

[u/Parzival-Bo → u/Thegoodgamer32]

Ah yes, I remember Buzzsaw Man Pants. I remember him very well.

At least he wasn't watching television.

[u/pokeplayer14 → u/Parzival-Bo]

Ahh always good to see people of culture.

[u/That-Big-Man-J → u/pokeplayer14]

I understood both of those references.

[u/Carmine_the_Sergal → u/Thegoodgamer32]

Damn I remember that

[u/Lucid-Design1225 → u/Thegoodgamer32]

Is that ManBearPig’s younger brother?

[u/ripshins]

You killed him...

[u/Edmundyoulittle]

Smh, shoot first ask questions later

[u/Zarguthian → u/Edmundyoulittle]

That is kind-of Samus' MO.

[u/Edmundyoulittle → u/Zarguthian]

Ehhhh, she kinda famously spares the baby metroid

[u/Zarguthian → u/Edmundyoulittle]

exception to the rule

[u/Edmundyoulittle → u/Zarguthian]

Nah. She's just canonically not a "shoot first ask questions later" type person.

Even in Dread we see her evaluate every situation she's in before acting during cutscenes.

[u/ElMrTaco]

Don't kill the excavator robot thingie and it shall show you the way..

[u/Gjgsx]

You SoB! What did the digger do to you? He was just trying to help. 😭😭😭

[u/Groundbreaking_Bag8]

Don't kill Buzzsaw Man-Pants.

[u/Dinierto]

Big wall of sand

If only there was some animal that could help

[u/DeepCutFan1 → u/Dinierto]

that's a robot

[u/Express-Record7416]

Exactly that. Hell

[u/jansensan]

Y can't Metroid dig?

[u/One_Competition136]

I don’t blame you, you did what anyone would do on their first time. You see a big moving alien so you shoot it. I do think it would’ve been better if they did something to signify it’s a good guy, like making him cute instead of monstrous

[u/KinopioToad]

Exit and re-enter. Let the digging critter do it's thing.

[u/schrodingers_donkey1]

maybe don't slime the robot and you'll find out lol :P /j

[u/brentonius_III]

what did you do.

https://giphy.com/gifs/6wMqKygjkGEbC

[u/Optimal-Error]

Sandstone.
Also you cant progress because you have an itchy trigger finger.

[u/justdamascus]

did you come into the room with unbridled rage and murderous intent?

[u/zacyzacy]

This was one of the only things I had to look up

[u/Gattawesome]

You killed the robot that digs the sand lol

[u/Brenoandnumbers]

🗣️WE'RE ALL JUST BLOCKIN' THE STREET!🎺🪊🥁

[u/JacksonGames16 → u/Brenoandnumbers]

“Come on I gotta collect this upgrade”

[u/quirkyactor]

You should leave and come back and not do the thing you did when you came in. :)

[u/Certain-Put-3189]

As a kid, me and my friends heard rumors of a certain item that none of us had found....except for me 😁

[u/Tubateach]

Patience, Iago. Patience.

[u/TheBlackCat13]

"don't shoot the Shaktool!"

- Nintendo Player's Guide

[u/kit_re]

Look what they did to our boy

[u/Darknis_1]

You need to let the enemy in the room clear the sand so just leave and re-enter the room and re-clear the blocker if necessary

[u/HomeOrificeSupplies]

You dun fucked up

[u/Tigeruppercut1889]

This makes me want to do a casual playthrough. Super Metroid fucking rules man

[u/Filming_Man]

It’s Wet Sand Stone. It’s just like in Metroid Prime but that’s dry sand stone. Only bombs can break it. Because it’s Sand.

[u/kongu3345]

You do it to yourself, just you, you and no one else

[u/Mengo339]

Why did you kill shaktool????

[u/Affectionate-Gain-23]

You gotta use the digger thats inside that room in order to break the sand wall.

[u/Away_Original_2600]

You...Maniac

[u/Ranko08]

Why did you kill it 🥺

[u/HamonMasterDracula]

An obstacle that you were supposed to have Buzzsaw Man Pants (aka Shaktool) dig through after Power bombing the blocks in front. Fortunately, he respawns when you reset the room.

[u/WorkingMassive2233]

You shouldnt have destroyed that robot if u did so

[u/GlacierWolfeRockee]

Looks like it

[u/roberttheaxolotl]

You gotta not kill the guy who's in that room and let him cook

[u/finalstarman2001]

I hate sand. It's coarse and rough and gets everywhere

[u/Dorian948]

You did an unnecessary kill

[u/Sokolniki]

a test of patience.

[u/Super_Assistant_2998]

Don’t kill the enemy in the room.

[u/Top-Edge-5856 → u/Super_Assistant_2998]

*friend

[u/TimeForWaluigi]

Gonna get downvoted for this but when people say Super has flawless game design I like to point to this room amongst other examples.
