Whats up with the Fake Kraid in Metroid and Super Metroid?
I dunno, he’s more of a threat in the first Metroid because he looks identical to the real Kraid, except darker, so you may think you’ve easily defeated Kraid when you haven’t. As far as the one in Super Metroid, where he’s a mini-Kraid a little taller than Samus, and the real one is three screens tall, I think they just did it out of nostalgia, or tradition. Once again, unexplainable as it may be, it’s one of those little things that makes Metroid so cool.
