Metroid 100% items in 41:43
Emulator: Famtasia (patched from the patch machine)
I've been working on this run for about a month and a half, and I finally finished it today. I tried to be as precise as possible with jumping, shooting, bombing, etc. I played at 2 % speed for anything requiring precision. It was fairly difficult in some spots, like Ridley's lair, and Tourian.
I used an original route, that saved quite a bit of time compared to the usual route. I found a nice shortcut in Norfair that saved 2 to 3 minutes. Ridley and Kraid battles are extremely short. I finished around 15 minutes faster than Red Scarlet's record.
I abused a few glitches: the door trick, morph jumping, bomb boost jumping. I also use morph jumping to pass through blocks a few times, which I had never seen or heard of before.
I took hits whenever avoiding them was impossible or whenever it would slow me down more than a few frames. I also used them to my advantage in certain situations. I manipulated monster item drops quite a lot to get missles.
I used a password to get suitless Samus. The password does nothing else.
Hope you guys like this.

Bisqwit: Technically this movie looks very good - awesome for someone's first submission. I didn't know that Metroid has a suitless mode. Seems like this movie is ok. Publishing today or tomorrow.
Bisqwit: Done

Yeah, the floating door seems to be related to the palette swap glitch... ...When'd the glitch get triggered, anyway? I never noticed it was on until I saw Samus back in the first room of Norfair with the green palette...maybe something to do with coming into the 2nd ice beam room from the wrong direction? O_O

Hi, I am having trouble with desync just after the ice beam. I have tried waiting to start the movie but it always desyncs at the same spot even at 250%, 400%. 900%. I would appreciate some help. Thanks.
