The line comes from the opening of Super Metroid, released for the Super Nintendo in 1994, where it introduces Samus Aran's mission after the events of the earlier games. It became one of the most quoted moments from the series as retro gaming videos, speedruns and memes reused the intro for dramatic effect. Its lasting appeal comes from its status as a nostalgic touchstone for Nintendo fans and its perfect setup for a story about to go wrong.
