0019: Metroid Hack Timeline

(2025-7-22)
I made this timeline as a little joke right after the final trailer for X-Fusion dropped. About half of these are hacks by Metaquarius himself.
The real joke here is that I already knew 1, 2, and 3 were (most likely) canon with respect to X-Fusion. Super Zero Mission was the direct inspiration for X-Fusion. I recall somebody mentioning prior that X-Fusion took place in AM2R's timeline (Meta has since confirmed this). And Z-Factor's connection felt entirely obvious (dialogue in X-Fusion directly references Z-Factor).
Every other entry on this chart besides the main 4 is a joke.
Especially the VGMaps Metroid Dread from 2009.
