I'm going for the fastest time. There's always lots of neat stuff you have to skip in a speedrun. I see no reason why I should save the animals yet skip mini-boss fights. Also, it's been done before in Samus Aran's run. Whenever possible I try to make my run unique.

I disagree: 1. There is no time attack run, which saves the animals. (at least no published one) 2. As you do 100% you should truely do 100% and this involves rescuing the animals. I mean: Without them you "theoretically" never learned the Wall-Jump and the jump from speedbooster ;-). So: Please, please save them. And btw. the minibosses are blown up by the planet anyway, but you cannot recover those animals. cu Fabian

Fabianx, there is a run that saved the animal and it wasnt published here. Also, the animals don't add to the % and thus are useless, michael is going for 100% ingame. It doesn't really look amazing saving those animals and is a big waste of time that could cause is run to be beaten by someone not saving them

Only if you actually care for them. They should be skippable!

Screw those little critters. They should have left the minute those Metroids moved in.

Go for pure fastest 100% without the goodies, but maybe copy the .smv at a juncture if you don't want to start over and also save the animals, maybe with the other little things like map access for good measure.

I won't be saving the animals. Furthermore, I won't be going for 100% map access. That would take twice as long to complete. 100% in the shortest time, that is what I'm shooting for.

100% map would take a ton of extra time. You'd have to fully explore large "rooms," like the surface of the planet. There's even a lot of extra space during your escape! Screw it, this ain't Castlevania: SOTN. There's no bonus for completing the map.

Yeah, I was just pointing out that there can be different definitions of 100% completion, even if the game has its own completion meter.

Yes, there are different levels of completion. I'm going for 100% items. This is the bare-minimum 100% run. I don't want to add something in my run that is interesting yet slower. I want to see how low I can get that clock! :O)

That sounds good. We'll see the lowest time the game can display for 100%. Keep it up!

Not good. I had to backtrack many times and spent a while recording on a desynched smv. I'm about to get the high jump and head for the Wrecked Ship. I'm cutting things very close, by my calculations I'll run out of rockets when I defeat Phantoon. Hopefully I won't find time saving maneuvers along the way that require additional rockets.

Was planning on defeating Phantoon tonight but an OS setback forced me to reformat my hard drive. I've been here for 5+ hours trying to install Asus motherboard software but to no avail. Apparently Asus drivers do not recognize Asus hardware. Imagine that. "Your model P4C800 does not match model P4C800". Whatever... If the problem persists I suppose I can make due without sound on my computer.

That's kinda funny. I had the exact same problem two weeks ago with the exact same motherboard. :D You could check with www.drivershq.com and run the free scanner if there are some kind of modifications to it that you don't know about. If you bought a pre-built PC such as HP/Compaq or Seimens you should run along with their specific drivers. It is weird I know. But thats the way I solved my problems.

I'm up and running again. Took some time to reconfigure my joystick. I also had to backtrack a ways to save half a second. I *may* beat Phantoon tonight if I can stay awake another hour.

Sounds great that you are back on the game Michael. How did you solve the computer problem though?

This is going to turn into the next Super Mario World run for me. Checking every day to see if we've got an update on the progress, etc. :)

I will have an updated run posted tonight ending with the one-round defeat of Phantoon. I've basically doubled the frame count since my last post so there will be a lot of new material to watch. I've come up with a FLOOD of new material in the wrecked ship that comes post-Phantoon so expect another release within a week that will be sure to please. Highness, I have a P4C800. There is also a P4C800-Deluxe, P4P800, and P4P800-Deluxe. I downloaded the bios and internal sound card drivers for the P4C800 but they did not install. I have a feeling that the download link was mislabeled. I then had doubts on which board I had so I proceded to download and install software for all of these different boards. After screwing with this for a while I had renewed faith that I did in fact have a P4C800 and confirmed this with my purchase receipt. So I downloaded the software for this board again. It still wouldn't install. I then posted my frustration on this board. The final solution? I tried installing the P4C800-Deluxe software again. It took... The best part was the hilarious 'restart your computer' message that Asus prompted. I wish I had written it down, it was such poor English.

I'm another one that checks this thread multiple times a day. What you have so far is beautiful, and I can't wait to see more. =)
If for honesty, you want apologies, I don't sympathize.
