Obsoletes movie #844 (08:52.18)
Rating: 8.1 (23 votes)
- Aims for fastest time
- Takes damage to save time
- Uses a game restart sequence
- Abuses programming errors in the game
- Manipulates luck
- Genre: Platform
Metroid completed as fast as possible without holding back, and without concern for game sanity.

Uses a game restart sequence (up+a on the second controller) to save time in backtracking.

This is a 33 second improvement over the previous movie. A wealth of new tricks contribute to this large improvement.

See MetroidTricks for more information about the door glitch as well as other tips and tricks.
