The culprit behind the universal chaos, and destroyer of worlds. The Metamo Ark defeated this galactic bane.

Okay, this is going to be a long description, strap in. So first of all, I normally don't talk about Meteos rates in these videos unless they impact the gameplay. It heavily impacts Meteo's gameplay specifically, as it has four different setups of what Meteos will fall. The first three are exclusive to Star Trip and will cycle through them with each playthrough, while the Meteo unlocked through Fusion Room for Simple or Deluge has its own unique Meteos rates, having equal amounts of half of the elements, missing Air, Water, Soil, and Iron. TL;DR: If you're using Meteo outside of Star Trip, you only have one setup to worry about.

As for how the planet actually plays, I can best describe it as a mix of Forte, Jeljel, and a reverse Bavoom. The base physics are like Jeljel with its "parabola effect" of starting strong, growing weak, then spiking in power. Vertical ignitions are always strong and will typically clear if the speeder isn't active. Speaking of, the reverse Bavoom part is that the physics are typically floaty, but while the speeder is active all airborne stacks are slammed back against the ground and launch strength grows even weaker. Combine this with the biggest field size of 11 columns, the most meteo types in the entire game, and the borderline awkward physics, Meteo is one of the hardest planets to use in the game...but is easily amongst the strongest.

Because of Meteo's sheer diversity of Meteos and its high attack power in the right hands, there's one thing I never mentioned in any other video that has a particularly large impact involving this planet: Meteos launched to other planets will retain their original form. Meaning anything that fights against Meteo will have to deal with Meteo types that normally don't spawn there, including the uncommon Glow and Dark Meteos. And there's lots of Meteos incoming from Meteo's strong attack power when put to good use. In the right hands, Meteo can easily steamroll most of the planets in the game, but its steep learning curve requires lots of practice to master.
