I thought this run was incredibly entertaining. Probably the best TAS I've seen in a while. It's really great to see how the Super Metroid Runs have progressed over the years ... as a big fan of the collective work of the TAS community, I'd say the series of Super Metroid games has been some of the best of the best. The attention to detail and the successful effort to entertain definitely make this a work of art. Keep up the good work!

From the submission text:
Sonic accelerates at a rate of 12 per frame, but he brakes at a rate of 128 per frame. So pressing the "wrong" direction for a frame, and then immediately reversing it causes sonic to have a speed of 128, instead of 24
This is almost useful information, but unfortunately there is a problem with your units. The first part should read something like 'Sonic accelerates at a rate of 12 "x" per "x" per frame.' The "x"s need to be filled in, otherwise this statement really isn't informative. Likewise, when referring to speed, it would be more helpful to say 'a speed of 128 "x" per "x".' Again, with the "x"s replaced by real units. I'm curious to know a little more about the physics of the game, and accurate units would be helpful to that end. Thanks!
