  • aww, i did it in :57 :(

  • great job on the speed run but you didn't save the little critters in the end. Isn't that a requirement?

  • 2:41-2:49

  • Comment removed

  • oha... you are really great... i cant close my mouth :D

    i love and play this game since im 4 years old... now im 18 and i love and play this game like then... my personaly record with 100% is 1:34... i know all tricks... but you... ouh man... this is so great... i've watched now all 15 parts of this walktrough because im bored... and after i saw this i only think "i must play this again now" haha... i start today a new game... maybe this time im better than 1:34 :)

    a big applause for you^^

  • omg wtf Samus is a girl!!!

  • @Mrbrkill I'm hoping that's a joke. :D

  • Just amazing

  • Nintendo needs to make another metroid game for virtual console exactly the same as Super Metroid! Same premise, same graphics, same music,. None of the story driven stuff like in fusion, just a game that has this one's spirit

  • Oh yeah? beat my record just now 5:56 with 79% complete!

  • @omgthatscrazyx well i got 87% in 6:28

  • the first time i beat this game, i could not believe it at the end when samus took off her helmet and turned out to be white.

  • ROFL

  • Ok... Who is Red Scarlet. Someone link me to her website/Youtube Page

  • Red Scarlet is an old speedrunner. As you can tell by the quality of the video this was most probably recorded off the TV, Super Nintendo or even a VHS tape recorded, say, years after the running. I may be wrong but I think this speedrun was around even before You Tube so I don't think Red Scarlet even has a channel.

    This is definitely one of the first speedruns of Super Metroid uploaded to the internet if not THE first.

    Either way, it's my favorite speedrun for ANY game. Perfect... skill.

  • did you beat it with just the power suit

  • Don't brag if you don't have proof.

  • god such an awesome run there are so many things u gotta be perfect on or it just fucks u if u gotta retry or something, the fastest i ever did 100% was only 1 hr 17 mins ;_;

  • I must be an elite gamer, then because I love this comment. It's so full of fail and lulz, I can't help but enjoy it.

  • I disagree that glitching is frowned upon by elite gamers. It's not. The glitch is like the anomaly within the Matrix. It was not intended but ... there it is... and it's going for a world record.

  • @SandBarAndYou true elite gamers break a world record without glitches imo.

  • For some games, this is true.

    For Super Metroid using certain glitches is much more difficult than playing the game without, and has therefore been overwhelmingly accepted by speed runners.

  • @JimtheBob ufff...well atleast she didnt use TAS

  • @Locustx925

    Heh, amen to that.

  • @Locustx925

    If it's in the game and is reproducible without tampering with hardware or otherwise modifying the game, it's perfectly acceptable. So if Mario wants to jump over the switch instead of hitting it (in Super Mario Bros.), there's nothing wrong with that in a speedrun. Anyone can do this on any copy of SMB and it takes special timing. It's an anomaly. But it is a part of the game. I can't emphasize that last point enough. Corny Matrix analogy or not, I stand by what I said.

  • Twin Galaxies accepts the Mockball now, as well as the Crystal Flash to skip Spore Spawn, who is only a Mini-Boss by virtue of not being required by the Tourian Entrance Statue. Red Scarlet even made an alternate final segment without the murder beam, which would make it legit at 0:55-0:56, but Twin Galaxies is so lazy about updating anything that the current fastest 100% they have listed is a hilarious 1:22.

    Most of these glitches involve more skill than running the game "clean".

  • The best I could reach at 100% was 1 hr 57 min.

    Despite a few criticisms, this player really has some serious talent! Some things were done in ways I never thought were possible.

  • Hey Andrew, 3:07, why did you fucking lie like that!

  • Did you do 57 minutes with 100% items? Red Scarlet beat the game, and did this video on a SNES console. Very valid record. If it's in the game, you can do it. No tools = legit.

  • Is it just me, or did those segments NOT add up to 55 minutes?

  • The game timer doesn't count time spent on the map screen/equipping or unequipping items/going through doors (I believe)/anything that isn't part of general game play.

  • That run was possibly one of the smexiest things I've ever laid my eyes upon.

    Things were accomplished that I never would have even imagined.

    Bravo. And favorited.

  • I enjoyed everything until the glitch used to beat Mother Brain at the end. I don't even care that Spore Spawn was skipped. But using that glitch was cheesy and probably unneccessary. Oh well. Still an impressive speedrun.

  • it would be funny if in the end it turned out that it was not 100%

  • Kinda like my friend Andrew.

  • *applause*

  • This was a good speed run to watch. I now however feel the need to flame all the people that can't read.

    ":55 Speedrun done by Red Scarlet, not by me!! "

    Please give credit to the right person!

  • lol i had like 8 hours on my first one with 73%

  • That's just crazy, how many times have you went beaten the game? 100+?

  • This is the world record right?

  • I think this is still the current record. However, Hotarubi was working on a :50 min version.  I don't know if it has been submitted yet. Hotarubi's is up on youtube somewhere.

  • hooolyyy shit 55 mins? man that is good

  • how many missiles/super missiles/super bombs/ reserve tanks have with 100%?

    thanks

  • Should be 250/50/50 (respectively) with 4 reserve tanks

  • 14 energy tanks 4 reserve tanks 46 missile tanks (230 missiles) 10 super missile 10 power bomb 1 grapple 1 x ray 5 beam powerups 3 sets of boots 2 suits 4 Misc. Items ----- 100 items
  • lolz a very well done.. whats the best time without 100%

  • The best time is an umbeleiveable non TAS 32 minutes.

  • Completion time: 55 minutes...Items: 100%.......bravo...I commend you.

  • I've seen it, and I still don't believe it. I'm speechless. :P Wowy wow wow!!! There's GOT to be some kind of glitch with the game timer. ;) Nice work!!!

  • 100% run, but OBVIOUSLY the person missed something, because it's only 100%, you're an idiot.

  • I just can't imagine how many times she must have completed this game to be able to do this. An absolute master!

    Also, thanks for helping me with finding the last missing missile expansion;)

    Superb work! 10/5

  • i have finished this game in 1h and 15 mins =) and i doubt that u have done this speed run cuz it's the world's record time and a japanise have done it.

  • Well, it says right in the title of the first video that this is Red Scarlet's run, not mine. :) My best time for 100% is 1h 2 min, which I would post, except that 200th best is really not that impressive.

  • i was sitting down for almost 2 hours and it's done in 55 minutes?

  • The game clock doesn't count screen transitions, item pickups, time on the pause screen, and I think times it takes to save.

  • 55 minutes? My god.

  • wow that looked nothing like samus lol. she's alot better in fusion and zero mission.

  • Ya I agree, but for some reason i cant beat zero mission, ive beat it twice before but i cant do it again. I forgot how to get hyper bombs.

  • ??? do u mean super or r they called hyper in zero mission, i dunno it's been too long since i've played it last lol. and DAMN hard mode was freaking difficult! have u tried it? energy tanks give u 50 instead of 100. missles give u 2 instead of 5, and etc. and the enemies hurt like hell, kinda like in fusion, and ridley (who's really easy on easy or normal) took me like 12 tries on hard. and the ship, ugh! space pirates could kill u in 3 hits, and there were less saves! yeah it was hell lol.

  • Power Bombs ¬_¬

  • yeah that's what i thought.

  • te felicito amigo eres muy bueno yo que tengo el juego desde hace 10 años nunca lo habia completado al 100% me faltaba un misil que se encuentra en el tanque de energy en tu video 8/15 gracias por este video que esta espectacular mi record con 99% es de 1Hora 12 gracias thx....

  • it took me 1:38 to finish the game with the 100% ._. i beat my record thanks to your videos (i see them all) but i have to much to learn ...

  • I just done a 1:42 on the xbox, that xbox controller is balls for snes games

  • Ah... brings back lovely memories.

  • Does anyone know what that mother brain glitch is all about? Whats the advantage? It looks like it takes longer! Also how do you get the kraid quick kill? Ta muchly :)

  • The mother brain glitch (or murder beam) is quicker because it hurts the boss during both sequences when she is normally invulnerable. It takes a while, but the game counts time by number of frames, and the murder beam causes a great deal of lag, but is actually quicker.

  • As for the Kraid quick kill, just time it correctly so that you hit a super missile into his mouth just as it opens, and then follow that up by 3 more before he closes it. I recommend a lot of practice, took me a long time to get the timing down.

  • is not, that hard... i kill him at the secund time i try it =)... also, is easyer by shooting at his mouth like an ashole xD.

  • supposedly for the original metroid for the NES if u beat it with 100% and in under 3 hours (dont quote me on this cuz im still not sure how fast u have to do it) but as a easter egg u see samus naked. no suit. no swim suit. nothing! bear in mind however that this was the 8-bit era(ill miss you 8-bit games! so glorious were you all) so youll see pixel nudity. have fun guys.

  • Thank you for this, takes me way way back. Godly.

  • "See you next mission"

    You mean Metroid Fusion, which was released like 10 years later?

  • Well, good games take long time to be made, and Metroid Fusion was a great game, or better yet, all Metroid games are great.

  • Did it lie? Hahaha

  • "See you next mission taunted me for years because they waited so damn long to make a new Metroid game. Prime was good but technically happened before the events of Super Metroid but Fusion came out about almost the same time.

  • i loved watchin ur speed run because of two things: 1. the game and sounds are totally nostalgic from back when the super nintendo was the next best thing 2. ur freakin crazy at this game lol

  • coool man You got 5/5 ;p & yes, RIDLEY FOR THE BRWAL!

  • dude if i ever get lost in this game i know who to ask for help u are a god at this game :O

  • fukin awesome...u should have saved the little animal shits at the end though...lol

  • my game doesnt hav samus w/o suit?

    it just shows the face.

    why is that?

  • You need to beat 3 hours to get her with no suit.

  • damn!!!!!!!!thats hard!!i think,since i finished w/ 100% in 6 hours.

  • If you use efficient pathing you can beat the game in less than 2 hours with 100%. The only hard part is having to fight the later bosses with less energy tanks and super missiles since most of the Brinstar secrets I find most effective to collect late in the game when I have the screw attack.

  • i thought it was 2:30, any way i made about 50 minutos but i don't realy complete the 100% O.o dude your skills are awesome. you sould be playing it over and over again to know wicth way is shorter O.o

  • Nice job.

  • you are owesome

    because always that i end metroid i end in 1.59 exactly and you are owesome

  • lol u should save the animals in the final to a perfect game ^^

  • nossa karaca vei como e que vc consegue um trem desse?

    meu amigo to besta viu!!!!

    parabens!!!

  • Nice!!!!

  • Who is your daddy and what does he do?

  • Who is Red Scarlet and does she have anymore speed runs?

  • braVO! thats pure skill there

    A for effort

  • Red Scarlet's quite the Super Metroid player, isn't she? Thanks for hosting this, JimtheBob. It was fun watching it again.

    I still like the fact that this entire thing was recorded onto VHS tapes from a line-in on the SNES, and then...I think Smokey converted them to AVIs.

    Ah, background info. It was good to have been there.

  • this game is so far the best metroid game iv beaten so far even better then metroid prime 3 which i have for the wii, but next to Super metroid Mp3 is right beside Super Metroid*

  • Ridley for brawl!

    (All anti-Ridley's have no argument against him that works!)(NONE!!)

  • i also like meta ridley and is a goo idea about ridley for brawl

  • he is ok for a boss but NOT a playable caracter

  • He's actually being considered as a very plausible character to Brawl. He'll play like a mix between Bowser and Charizard (from Pokemon Trainer). Ridley for Brawl!!

  • they should show samus naked as a reward

  • If we see the date of the video, and the sprites of the Mother Brain fight...

    Tell me if I'm wrong... but I think that your SNES right now its dead...

    RIP

  • ok right now i have a record of 1:11 100% ive learned to break the game down into 3 sections which seems to have helped. if i could do the kraid quick kill my time would be way better though.

  • I'll be damned. I watched every one of those videos. That was absolutely retarded how good that guy was. I should be illegal. The game didn't stand a chance. I can't imagine the amount of planning would have to go into this run. Almost turns gameplaying into an artform. Kudos to whomever made this run.

  • the 38 minute run is not a 100% run.

  • lol see you next mission BS i played all the classic Metroids

  • omg... so many memories with this game. I remember I beat it, and my older brother returned it to Gamestop. I was so pissed off with him for literally a year. I kept telling him to get it back. I still wish I had it for SNES again. I need to get it off eBay.

  • You can buy mine.. Originally packaged.. £1000 :P

  • You can buy it today for the Wii.

  • can you also buy majoras mask and flying dragon for the N64

  • hehe this video has been taking from the world fastest player and he´s from japan =/

  • Hmm, there's a faster time than 55 min? Can ya post a link?

    Only time I've seen faster are the lame tool-assisted runs, and those don't count! ;)

  • THERE IS A 38 MIN TIME... want the link??

  • yes that motherfucker did it in 38 minuts!!!

  • but was it 100% or not

  • not getting 100% of the items (note how he would go for every hidden missile package)

  • te vaz a morir por editar tan bien :)

  • 55 MINUTES??? it took me forever to beat this game... and i never got %100 either :'(

  • Respect!!

    Is this for real??

    A girl playing the game??

  • Wasn't she suppposed to be naked in the end or somethin ;P not that im a perv but lol, someone told me

  • Somehow I don't think that Nintendo would be able to get that one past the censors ;).

  • The story was like, if you complete it under a certain time (wich i think this dude totally made :P) there was an easter egg with samus' armor exploding.. i think i've actually seen that somewhere.

    Oh well :)

  • they told me that to lol! but i beat this game in 1:42 and shee gets in underwear i just saw someone plying this game with samus without the suit.. she was in batinsuit can someone tell me how that is done?

  • For the record, the person playing this game is a SHE.

  • So what? It doesn't make it any less cool.

  • Makes it MORE cool.

  • Yes, the item collecting theme got old. Sure, it's awesome, but not for EVERY item, upgrade and expansion. Just the new items.

    I so want to play this on VC on the Wii.

  • Sweet game, a worthy addition to the metroid saga. But honestly, i like the item collecting music but it does get annoying for the 100th time XD Thanks for uploading.

  • the only thing i didnt like about this video was that he used the murder beam against the mother brain, that sucked

  • And why does it suck to use the ultimate weapon? It's not like he had anything else. Did you see that he only had like 40 regular missiles left, and nothing else? I would use the murder beam ANY DAY!

  • Ultimate weapon? More like ultimate glitch amirite?

  • That was partially the player's fault because he turned on and off weapons while he was charging a fire. That caused it to glitch up. If it was left alone, it would've been fine. You can find videos with perfectly fine "non-emulated" movies with this battles with no glitches.

  • dude, thanks for showing the one energy tank I could never find, that was the only thing in the game that I missed

  • 5-stars, a great work:)
