If no one tells him, I will, I’ll even go one step further and contact Samus 🤣

Maybe he read the manga strategy guide that infamously and unwittingly turned Samus into a lesbian icon.

True, but Star Tracker hasn’t even got “his” name right.

To be fair, the manual for the original NES Metroid refers to Samus using male pronouns.

@Background Pony #2B33  
It is a mystery :P

What’s next forStar Tracker?  
An orange jumpsuit, a portal gun and set of Aperture Laboratories Long Fall Boots?

@Wild Stallions  
They’ve definitely made it more clearly feminine in newer artwork, though her Varia suit always looks fairly male since it has those massive broad shoulders. The Zero Suit is just blatant fanservice though XD

@Scp-3125  

 
In the original commercial, it’s hard to tell whether its a man or women wearing Samus’s armour in the live action segments. The Super Metroid commercial’s live action segments are more explicit in the protagonist’s gender.

To be fair I’m pretty sure Samus’s armor is unisex

@Clever Clovers  
You didn’t say that they were easy or recognizable, you said that they were the main recurring enemy. But, yeah I suppose you’re right in that respect (though there’re a lot of recurring enemies in Metroid).

the stupid part being he is only wrong on the name and gender.

With all the role playing in the comments, I’m starting to want to see a continuation comic of him learning he’s dressed like a girl.

@Background Pony #3DBC  
Whoops. Yeah, meant Motobugs. I’ll edit that mistake out.
 
Also, I didn’t say the Metroids were the most easy enemies, I said they were the most recognizable enemies.

@Clever Clovers  

 
Buzzy Beetles are the dark-shelled things from SMB1 that you couldn’t kill with a fire flower, and if you started again after beating 8-4, they would replace the Goombas, making the game supposedly a bit harder.
 
I think the Sonic Enemies you were thinking of were Motobugs, the one-wheeled ladybug enemies from Green Hill Zone.
 
However, saying that Metroids are like Goombas or Motobugs isn’t really a fair or accurate comparison. Goombas and Motobugs are easy, simple early-game enemies that are meant to pose little threat to the player so that you can get acclimated to how the games play.e
 
Metroids are invariably late-game enemies that pose a higher threat than most normal enemies and even some bosses, and they can easily mess you up if you’re unprepared to face them.

“Uh, Star Tracker?”
 
“Yeah, Clovers?”
 
“Metroid isn’t the name of the bounty hunter…it’s Samus Aran. And it’s a girl.”
 
“…”
 
“…Star Tracker? You alright?”
 
“She’s a girl bounty hunter? That makes her ten times cooler to me…hey, wait a second, then who’s ‘Metroid’?”
 
“It’s not ‘who’, it’s ‘what’. Metroids are the main recurring enemies of the franchise. Like the Goombas in Mario or the Motobugs in Sonic.”
 
“Ah, okay, cool! Gotcha, Clovers.”

PFFFTTTTAAHAHAHAHAHH! XD

Me: Sorry Star Tracker but Metroid is the name of the game, not the character and the character you cosplay on is a girl not a dude and the name is Samus Aran!  
Star Tracker: What?! is a girl?! but is as dude!  
Me: No is not and here the prove( I show him a Video who Samus remove her armor on the of Metroid Prime 3) See? a Girl!  
Star Tracker: Oh sweet Celestia why I not see it coming! but she hot, Human or Pony she hot! But I still can’t believe is a girl!  
Me: Trust me many fans when a play the first game and clear it and see Samus is a girl a shock everyone, even I be surprise! but here a character is a dude a 100% but we NEVER see his face(I show him Master chief) He cool right?  
Star tracker: Yeah, I will go get the costume!

@Barry Tone  
Scuse me.  
Ages into dust ala the guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark

Well, at least he’s only making a huge assumption that people made about 30 - 35 years ago.

It’s gonna be fun when he sees Poison from street fighter. >:]

Buddy… Metroid is the name of the jellyfish looking alien creatures.

Good Luck with that.
