Wanted to try and get 100%, with no glitches, in under an hour for the best ending. Made a ton of mistakes since I'm no professional, but this time isn't too bad. Recorded directly from an actual NES.

Glitchless runs are the true speedruns.

I like it. It's basically a 100% glitchless, warpless efficiency run... Run quickly by a true gamer. <3

As someone that's old enough to have played Metroid when it was first released, below I timestamped most of the times where a player would have no clue how to proceed unless they a) pixel hunted virtually the entire game bombing/shooting nearly every wall, floor, or ceiling section in hopes of finding the way forward. b) had someone/something help them (ex: nintendo power, nintendo hotline, 'that friend' that just knows everything about a game, etc.).
Agree? Disagree? Why and what timestamp? Enjoy!

10:59: bomb bubble floor
11:30: bomb the floor but has signifier

14:15: bomb the floor at dead end

Very nice! I doubt I could go through Norfair without the varia suit.

Great video! I enjoyed how it's not like some crazy optimized speedrun, just someone who knows the game well and is very skilled. Side note, I love how this looks on original hardware. Need to add an NES to my collection soon!

It's always good to see a speedrun as intended for developer(s). Good job. See you on next Mission =]

I never completed this game as a kid, but i remember I got to the end and fought the mother brain and died no matter how hard I tried, but I didnt have enough E-tanks. As a grown up, I'll have my revenge. I'm gonna try and complete it now on my freshly arrived Nes Mini :D

Thank you very much for the video. With your video, it helped me to complete the game for the first time, thank you very much :D

For a regular dude who doesn't do this for a living, that's a great run-through. Normal folks today have trouble navigating simple platform games. Or God forbid, remembering your way to each item in Norfair. People who post frame-perfect record-breaking videos on YouTube are a tiny minority. Hand a NES controller to an average guy or girl, and most people die trying to jump over stuff.

I require proof that you actually had 255 missiles total the end. Just kidding, great job. Nice touch picking up the extra E-tanks and Ice Beam too.
