The Screwy Let's Play is a Franchise Play created by The D-Pad in 2021, focusing on the Metroid franchise. It aims to cover every core Metroid game. The project was conceived on June 15, 2021, when Super Metroid won a Patreon poll to be the next Tuesday stream game on the same day Metroid Dread was revealed at E3. It was announced with a trailer later that day, shortly before officially debuting with the livestreamed first episode of Metroid. The schedule for the series consists entirely of livestreams, making it the first Franchise Play to be structured this way. Additionally, no live-action intros and outros are included in most of the LPs, and Rick is the only player.
Over the course of The Screwy Let's Play, 8 games were played as part of the project. The series concluded on October 27, 2021, after 24 episodes. It is planned to be revived in the future to cover the Metroid Prime series when Metroid Prime 4 is closer to release.

Trivia
- The Screwy Let's Play was initially announced as only covering the five numbered entries in the series: Metroid, Metroid II: Return of Samus, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Dread. However, as there were two months left before the release of Dread after the completion of Fusion, the project was expanded to include the two remakes, Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid: Samus Returns. Upon the completion of the latter, there were still three more weeks until the release of Dread, so the project was expanded once more to include Metroid: Other M.
