PLAY! covers the bases in this excellent, orchestrated medley of Metroid scoring.

That's awesome, but I couldn't help but notice that the uploader's name references Shinesparking. I just gotta say that I think that's a really stupid name.

But the orchestra is sweet!

Shinespark is a terrible term. I always called it Speed-Booster dash/jump. Or speed-dash for short.

There is a downside to communicating with other fans about a game you like. Just look at MMO games like Warcraft; you can't go 10 feet in that game without seeing someone using some obtuse slang like "grinding mobs" which usually lacks the descriptive language necessary to express yourself to anyone else.

I especially loved their rendition of the Mother Brain theme, it's easily one of the most impactive songs in Super Metroid and the Metroid series in general.
