NES Metroid by Arc in 13:31.10

Metroid is a game that is very hard to play perfectly fast because the jumping is so slow.

This movie is 43.3 seconds faster than the previous version.

Selected comments from the author:
Main improvements in this version:

Almost every room played more precisely
The first vertical shaft is many seconds faster
Missiles are used more aggressively early
Vertical shaft from Hell (Kraid's Lair) improved again
Sped up clearing the blocks in the small vertical shaft leading to Kraid's Lair
Shortcut into Tourian is the most improved section timewise
The 5 Zeebetites were destroyed quicker
New strategy against Mother Brain

Most Metroid speedruns used to be about 30-40 minutes long.
