Super Metroid is a game that requires very little introduction. Samus Aran, a bounty hunter, returns to the planet of Zebes, in order to explore its depths, and defeat Mother Brain and the Space Pirates.

In this run, Saturn completes the game with the minimal amount of items, without skipping bosses or major glitches, which was considered "legit conditions" by the community. This movie had a notable flame war about its acceptability, see the discussion thread. Its submission also was revived and rerejected several times in a row.

Please read the welcome page if you haven't already done so. It explains the rules and methods that apply to all of these movies, particularly the use of savestates and frame advance. Also refer to our Glossary to understand terms we use, such as TAS or other unfamiliar terms.
