New cameo found: DK Tropical Freeze

• by

Four years have passed since Retro Studios’ Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze released on the Wii U, and the Switch port was released in May. We knew about Samus’s ship in the background of Busted Bayou, but since then, Metroid fans have wondered if there were any other cameos that the team secretly put in the game. The answer was no… until now. It turns out that one has finally been found by Twitter user @shanemarchis.

  1. Go to stage 4-3, Amiss Abyss.
  2. A little ways past the first checkpoint you’ll swim past a sign with a green arrow on it that looks remarkably similar to the Speed Booster symbol.  Swim past the sign and go up the tunnel until it ends.
  3. Turn around and go back down through the tunnel. You’ll notice that there are now jellyfish swimming in it that you’ll need to avoid. You’ll then come to a wall of electric anemone that you’ll have to take damage and swim through as you’re given temporary invincibility. Once you’re through, you’ll see a few fish swimming upward in the background. After the fish, you’ll see a metroid swimming along behind them!

Great job for finding this, Shane!

New Pins! MDb x Beast Wreck

• by


If you’ve been following our social media pages closely, you’re probably already quite familiar with our new pins, which drop through our store today! These pins have been a VERY long time coming – since November of last year is when I started collaborating behind the scenes with badass swag designer Beast Wreck on them. There’s something about Beast Wreck’s style that really captivated me, and I believed he was the only person who could realize my vision. After the designs were completed, I then had to wait a full two months to get them back from China (btw, ALL enamel pins are made in China, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise).

Trust me when I say I am more than enthused to allow you to buy them. But don’t wait. I only had 100 made of each design.

We hope you appreciate these pins as much as I do – I am beyond satisfied with how they turned out. They came out more beautiful than I could imagine. Photos truly don’t do them justice. The polished black nickel that they’re made out of needs to be seen with your own eyes in a way that normal photos just can’t capture.

As always, we deeply appreciate your generosity and support of our website. Head on over to the Metroid Database Store to see the pins. As of this writing, we have stock of everything else in our store still available, so while you’re there, get some other stuff too! See you next mission!
