Super Metroid is a sequel to NES Metroid, with bigger and better graphics and music.

Due to how the game tracks time, the in-game completion time is 25 minutes, and 18% of items were collected. However, this movie aims for lowest real time as opposed to lowest in-game time. Compared to the predecessor movie, it accomplishes that 5 minutes and 39 seconds faster.

We also have a movie by Cpadolf which aims for in-game time, making use of the fact that the in-game timer is stopped during certain events. It's 4 seconds slower in real time, but completes the game in 23 minutes and 45 seconds by its timer. It is available only in emulator movie format.
