Countdown: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

'''Countdowns''' are a common element of the [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]] which is usually activated or triggered usually after an important boss battle or event. Countdowns are almost always activated by the boss or the main antagonist of the game and always involve a fatal occurrence of some sort. Occasionally in the series, a time limit will be implemented during boss fights such as the battle against [[Meta Ridley]] in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Corruption]]'' and [[Dark Samus]] in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Echoes]]''.

The event is often an escape from a huge explosion or time bomb as in the side-scrolling ''Metroid'' installments. It can also consist of an imminent impact of an object. A setting that is very unstable and is about to collapse is very common in the [[Metroid Prime (series)|''Prime'']] games, and a time limit is included in those conditions as well. Failure to escape from the threat often results in immediate death and failure of the mission.
