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.
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.
