Submission Text Full Submission Page
This movie is the TAS of Metroid Legacy, which is one of the most famous hacks of Super Metroid. It was completed in June 2005, and had already been published at a certain Japanese website. Having a chance, I'm just submitting it into the worldwide community for the first time.

Metroid Legacy Introduction

"Metroid Legacy" is well-balanced, full-changed hack of Super Metroid.
Features of this hack are following.
  • Almost all of the landforms, placement of enemies, room connections, item order are changed.
  • It contains whole new world that is not associated with original world.
  • Upgraded game difficulty throughout all scenes, especially boss fights.
  • No change of game systems like movement of Samus and enemies, graphic-chips, 100 items.
  • No need of gilche knowledge to complete game.
The whole new world, which is entirely differ from original world, spreads out in this game. You can enjoy new exploration, searching routes, looking for required items, fighting enemies. Operation of Samus is same to original one, so you can play it smoothly. You will re-experience the first impression of Super Metroid.

Movie introduction

This smv movie was created with Snes9x-143-WIP1-win32 (WIP!!) and it
  • takes damage to save time
  • gets all items, 100%
  • aims for the fastest time
  • shows all secret routes in this game
  • runs through almost reverse order, unbelievable and stupid routes
  • contains several new tricks which may apply to original game.
Although speed run technique used in this movie may be old-fashioned, whole routing in 100% run of Legacy must be still fresh and full of originality. I believe you will have an enjoyable time for watching it, and for the sake of your best fun, I strongly recommend you to play Metroid Legacy with your own hand before watching my movie. Thank you!

New Tricks contained

  • Torizo quickest kill
    • It save time for 1-2 second(s) to beat Torizo by skipping one of his attack phases.
  • Sprore Spawn quickest kill
    • It kills him in second turn by using muscle way.
  • hopping ball / spring dash (I dont know how to name it...)
    • Samus keeps her speed through narrow pipe or other complex situation by using spring ball.

Information

  • Play Length : 1h 26min
  • Re-record count：26514
  • Clear Time : 49min
  • Colecting Item Rate : 100%
  • Emulator : Snes9x-143-WIP1-win32

Acknowledgment

I must say sorry for Bisqwit to submit it so late though I received his favor about 2 month ago. And also say "thank you" for the permission of Metroid Legacy. In addition, thanks to Terimakasih, Sippu and Kejardon for teaching me techniques and more informations. Lastly, very thank you BananaOyaji-san (Legacy author) for making this excellent hack.

Because Im going to start a new step :D I will make Legacy movie again in this summer. Thank you for many advice to make any%run. I stuck to 100%run and hesitated to make any%run because I thought any%run in Legacy may be a rather nomal and bored route than 100%. That was the only reason. But re-considering any%route, it seems to become interesting one. And also, it requires more strategies than 100%: which item to take and to ignore. So now Im feeling motivate and challenging in any%. I will make decision in early Aug. ;)

Would someone be willing to post a screen of the map where you get a certain item and perhaps how to get it... In case I can't find it soon, I've already tried for 30min-1h I think. It would just feel better if there's someone out there willing to help out in such a way. I'll keep on searching though, don't wanna reveal the item just yet.

Okay, I give up, someone please tell me how to find the Power Bombs. I've been going back and forth now for some time. I guess a total of 1-1½h. I have Missiles, Super Missiles, 3 Energy tanks, Wave Beam, Charge Beam, Normal Suit and Speed Boost. Thanks -- and try not to spoil anything else hehe, thanks. I've seen one Power Bomb but it's surrounded by power bomb blocks so I guess that's for later. I think just a screenshot of the map and location/room would be enough for me to figure it out.

The only thing Im worrying about is whether TASVIDEOS.ORG accept the TAS of Metroid Legacy again or not. Now there is an another awesome Super Metroid hack: Super Metroid Redesign. If TASVIDEOS.ORG accept 1 hack at 1 game and choose SMR for SM hack, there is no reason to remake my Legacy movie.
what hack is accepted now? sm:r sm:l?

Ok, if you cannot do what is in the TAS, can someone tell me of a second way to get to Botwoon in Maridia. I am not good at the short charge for the speed booster. Edit: I found the way and have made a movie to show other people. However, this movie only applies if you have beaten Draygon first! Unfortunately I cannot attach it to here, and since its not a TAS, I cannot submit it to the site.
Fan made hacks make old games playable long after the game is over. If you have beaten a commercial game, try a fan made hack, and rediscover the game.
