Super Metroid has always been a game filled with obscure tricks and glitches, but, as with other games at this site, it has also become broken wide open thanks to a joint effort of Cpadolf and hero of the day, as well as Kejardon — the glitch master of Super Metroid who made the key trick of this movie possible.

With the use of X-Ray Scope to get out of the rooms' bounds, some non-trivial physics abuse, and esoteric RAM data manipulation via dying in a certain room, the amount of tasks Samus usually has to do on Zebes has been cut to almost nothing. No boss is ever fought in this TAS, and even Mother Brain is skipped completely. The in-game completion time is 00:12.

Because the movie results in an item completion of 6%, it obsoletes the previous low% TAS by Terimakasih which collected a total of 14 items. If you want to see an up-to-date 14% movie completed without using the out-of-bounds glitch, see this movie by Saturn. It completes the game in 42 minutes and 37 seconds (00:27 by the in-game timer).
