Super Metroid 100% Speed Run (14 of 15)

[Witsarunemitea]

Metroid gave you Chuck Norris Canon.

What are you gonna do?

- Beat the fuck out of Mother Brain

- Beat the fuck out of Mother Brain

[xKILLurGODx]

SAMUS DISAPPEARED??? WTF

[KahlerHahn]

i remember that netroid dying was the first time i felt sorry for anything in a video game... epic moment

[lknpk15]

I'm confused is the murder beam supposed to f*** up the screen?

[spike007980]

@lknpk15 Yes, it's a data overload of the beams.

[MikeELtheGamer]

The Etecoons and Dachoras were left behind! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

[mikey2312]

I don't understand what's going on here. Why can't I see anything?

[SniperMaske]

As said before, helpful creatures were not saved by Red Scarlet.

START ALL OVER AGAIN!! >:D

[ouchDX]

7:27

"THE OPERATION WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY"

"CLEAR TIME 00:55"

"Wait, what...?"

[mikey2312]

@ouchDX Right, I spent over 2 hours watching this thing and it's somehow calculated at 55 minutes!

[KazikaroInei7550]

Attack of the invisible metriod!

[Locustx925]

cool story bro

[FLCL420]

?wtf happened with boss fight?

[Locustx925]

@FLCL420 cheated.

[FLCL420]

yeah i guess so....

[chiefL0L]

Mother brain says ''hey everyone!''.

[Isncee]

aw come on, it adds so much class to a speedrun to take the 15s necessary to save the animals.

[JohnOneStyle]

really great run mate, i just ♥ the sounds in this Game they are the best ever man...reminds me of a cool time i had :)

[foo2913]

what about the little creatures, how sad!

[TheBMB7]

what's up with the glitchy mother brain fight?

[originalph00tbag]

Murder Beam. Just makes it go faster by doing more damage.

[xxlpulselxx]

the frame rates got out of sync.

[Galaxieretter]

Notice how Red Scarlet flips on and off a few items to be able to get all the beams on at the same time? From what I can tell, that gives a "super shot" that you can do massive damage to a boss with.

Red Scarlet, in the Mother Brain fight, discharged the "super shot" at an invincible part of the body. That made that yellow explosion circle happen and made the constant explosion noise.

I believe this was an accident as R.S. made a second run with a minute or two more without glitchy sprites.

[TheBMB7]

Ah ok, thanks for explaining that

[kumostrife]

she is a very good player at this ... I thought I was the best ... I use some techniques that she doesn't but she knows even more that I dont... I'm pulling out the SNES and I think I know a better route to possibly beat this time

[DauntProductions]

don't waste time posting/reading comments like these, go do it =P

[smokethecigs]

he didn't save all the little guys when he's leaving the planet

[Talvegue]

she

[walaowow]

@Talvegue who cares if it;'s a he/she. should we be impressed a girl can play super metroid? Personally I think she spent all this wasted time when she SHOULD of been in the kitchen making a sandwhich

[Talvegue]

@walaowow Dude... that was prejudicious... but I lol'd several times

[Scott89878]

My problem with some of these speed runs is the glitches exploited. A glitch was used to reach the spring ball when they should have been required to not skip Crocomire and the grapple beam at that point in the game. Then a glitch bypassed Spore Spawn. Then we have this murder beam and the bypassing of the red walls in Mother Brains room. I don't know if the mochball was an intended game mechanic or not.

[PeTeRL90]

Isn't that the entire point of a speed run, though? To use glitches to your advantage to get the best time possible?

[Scott89878]

Maybe some people think using glitches is a legitimate way to do speed runs but I don't personally. I can get 100% in an 1:35 and hit up nearly every room in the game along the way (excluding save points and some energy/missile refills) while killing every boss. A 100% run in my opinion is not skipping content and completely breaking the game. While i can significantly improve my time doing glitchy crap, I refuse to do so because at that point I am playing a psuedogame.

[PeTeRL90]

I usually don't use glitches either in speed runs but I don't mind those that do.

To each their own, my friend.

[DupBror]

Well if you see it the way you do, 100% should also contain that you examine those rooms, right?

[Scott89878]

I actually have my 100% run on my channel that does show everything my way and does not exploit glitches. Then I have a bonus video that shows the very few areas that I missed. The game design without glitches actually takes you thru every room minus a few small areas.

[BMBteke397]

I think that if you are doing a 100% speed run, then you should actually complete a 100% of the game. I just don't see how one can claim completion of the game, when you skip huge portions of it. My only issue was bypassing sport spawn.

[DupBror]

Think of it this way, spore spawn is "just" an enemy, you don't need to kill him/her so why bother? Then every bit of the map and every room should be examined, and the animals saved. If you see it the way you do.

[HEROIKE315]

you need to beat the spore spawn to get a super missile cus if you dont you cant get a 100%

[DupBror]

No. You can still get the same exact super missile by doing it another "expert" kind of way =)

[DupBror]

Because: 100% is counted the way the actual game counts it. Look at the ending and it says 100%. Thats what 100% is in just this game. Just collect all the items and you've got the game 100% fully completed :)

[KazikaroInei7550]

I don't see why Murder Beam was necessary for this battle :\ or maybe I'm just stupid...

[BigRedScouser]

Same here, Mother Brain is pretty easy... I don't see why the player doesn't use the super missles first.

[RayNes3]

A great trick for cheating! Mother Brain is one tough bitch!

[geistk]

whats with all the glitchy action going on during the battle?

[andoykids]

what the hell happened at the true form motherbrain battle?

[Koroigetsuga87]

lolz murder beam= VAR

[Ragnell789]

What's the Spazer Plasma VAR?

[BigRedScouser]

A glitch.

[gridvid]

Why is Mother Brain's Graphik in those Speedruns alway so... FLICK-ing ???

[BigRedScouser]

It's because the speed runners use the VAR glitch.

[zoomer865]

lol weres part 15

[originalph00tbag]

lol murderbeam.

[jihadjoe1991]

I say 99.5%. Next time you save those poor friendly aliens bub

[whatalil]

what aliens?

[aetyate]

he didn't save the animal friends afterwords :o

[theleapvocal]

Motherbrain, got raped =D

[Caydiem]

Wow, the last boss battle was pretty fucked up.

I couldn't tell what's going on, since the

screen kept flickering like hell.

[zanariot]

he was using a glitch, its not cheating cuz the glitch takes skill but they used it for the sake of the speed run

[videobrain5]

to caydiem: thats a glitch he performed it even works in the wii virtual console version of this

[deflepard999]

god. i wish their was a way you could use the hyper beam in the camaign mode, it would take out even the most powerful enemies in like four hits, might kill ridley in five or six its so damn beastly

[aetyate]

speed demo archives does not allow roms, they have to be done and recorded from the orgininal cartrage

if you actually watched the rest of the speedrun you would see that he's made mistakes, small as they are you can catch where he accidently missed an elevator in one of the earlier ones, so don't be pissed cause you found someone 15 times better than you

[Nintendoman2112]

That was crazzzzzzzy! I need to learn the beam glitch. That will make battles easier.

I always play this game without saving cuz the battery save in my games got knocked loose.

Great Job and keep it up!

[deflepard999]

then you wanna do it perfectly. if you mess up like he did your game will fuck up

[deflepard999]

jk. thats actually supposed to happen. but instead jump behind mother brain and unleash the murder right behind her so the entire match against her her head will flash non stop and the battle goes 5x faster it is faster than howw scarlet did it

[northpark307]

man what was going on during the fight? too many sprites or what? lol that was messed.

[yoelvys]

muy bien muy impresionante pero no salvaste a los amigos extraterrestres q te ayudaron en el juego salvalos!!1 antes de salir entra al sitio donde conseguiste la primera bomba simple alli estaran esperandote malvado...

[SesakaGenX]

Lol Mother Brain got really messed up there! XD

[Death0Sorrow]

hey, you didn't save the inocent animal who help you to discover the 'secret' habilities xD

[xephiroth1204]

dam the last boss has a really scary background music. dam im gona have night mare. and its so god dam scary!!!!1

[jomamapalm]

Really? I found it a perfect song for a last boss, but I didn't find it scary. I found the background music to Bongo Bongo in Ocarina of Time to be scarier.

[xephiroth1204]

yea i think it is really scary.

[xephiroth1204]

wow u r right the music from bongo bongo is scary........ dam im liek a scardy cat

[Emerl10]

u wana see somthin really scary? look up "sa-x"

or "sa-x icon" on youtube. then tell me waht you think.

[northpark307]

yeah, i was freaking out when i was playing fusion. especailly when she chases u after u beat the robot spider thing!

[Chaosshrine]

i sense more modding here...

[JimtheBob]

Heh, modding? Google Super Metroid and Murder Beam before you jump to such ridiculous conclusions.

[niggazunite]

the final boss music scared the shit outta me when i was a kid

[dancer4him17]

me 2

[xephiroth1204]

dam im listening t it now and im like freaked out...

[capoeirakh]

wow. my fastest 100 percent game is exactly one hour slower then that...how embarrassing.

[TheCowraffe]

Allright. I saved the animals. But what happens? I saved the bird and those 3 tiny goblin things.

[JimtheBob]

It causes a very VERY slightly different ending; enjoy...

[juanbond421]

if you look at the end whent he planet blows up you see a little star shoot to the side, that is their "craft" escaping. Sorry i told

[mapler190]

That's all glitched up, you can't even see Samus.

[peaceguy8]

its a cheat beam, but it can mess up if you move

[Zeruckiven]

ok thx, i also noticed(if it woulod have any effect at all) i'm missing an upgrade(although it's in the "Misc" section. it's the 1 were u can jump as a ball thx though, i'll try this again at point blank

[Zeruckiven]

is it possible to do murderers beam on virtual console? every time i've tried so far it freezes lol

[JimtheBob]

I play on ZSNES and it works fine. The problems I've had with freezing usually involve firing the beam without having it pre-charged, or firing it without being point-blank with mother brain. If you still have problems, try turning off wave beam before you fire it.

[niggazunite]

uhhhhhhh i got the zsnes but where do i get the actual game????

[TheCowraffe]

Where are the animals?

[JimtheBob]

Probably either dead or on fire.

[charmander082294]

lol

[zeldman95]

most likly on fire,because they are in fusion.....hehe...green furballs floating in space on fire

[jamesmillertime]

How did you jump through the first red barrier?  And why were all the other barriers missing?

[JimtheBob]

If you turn off screw attack, and freeze the red ring inside the wall at the exact right place, you can get hit and pass through the first Zebite (the red barrier) without killing it. If you can pull this off, the remaining 3 Zebites won't spawn.

[TomMSTie]

Sweet. I'll have to try that next time.

[Sajberjohan]

I always thought you had to save the animals to get 100%, guess not >.>

[leeroyTHELEGEND]

lol the head lands on a body in the floor whne he starts fighting the last boss bahah

[Alectr0n]

I wish he would have saved the animals. :(

[mariomooseman1]

the sprites arent showing properly because its the murder beam. it constantly hurts bosses without having to do anything.

[jdizzle2492]

so the rainbow beam was the muderous beam?

[theslikrik]

no that was hyper

[omegax2x]

That was hyper mode.

[phoenix16lynx]

how do you do the trick to get through the red gates

[nikeguy2]

ilovethis

[Ace3877673]

Tourian is the best....not much real melody to the music but the ambient bubbling gets to you.

The sprite flickers are FUBAR, but the video is impressive.

[axlbrujo]

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

[pelican116]

he could be playing this on the wii virtual console.

[pelican116]

nevermind i didnt see the date lol

[katana501]

great job RedScarlet!

[GrantDelmore]

God that video is so stuffed :P Her emulator isnt showing the sprites properly.

[katana501]

this is NOT emulator, this is SNES ;)

[piru125]

IM IN FUCKIN LOE WIT DISS GAME.. I BEAT THIS GAME LIKE 50 TIMES not even playin.....

[estradicos]

i hate people saying that he finish the game with craks so i hate you

[JimtheBob]

The animals are overrated.  There deaths save 20 seconds!

[Nameless164]

Lol!

:D

[007bistromath]

But if you don't save them, you lose Fusion. FAIL

[DupBror]

They still dies since the whole planet blows up, so why bother :D?

[XxHaydoKidxX]

You actually see them fly off the planet after its exploded, (which i dont really understand why its after the explosion) on the right side of the planet =D

And i guess its just the self satisfaction really that the only point haha

[HEROIKE315]

if you want to see yhe good ending of super metroid you need to save them

[clownhorse]

There's definitely something wrong with either your copy of the game or your system.

[JimtheBob]

Actually, since I didn't record this, I'm not positive, but I believe Scarlet (who did the run) mentioned a problem with the recording program.

[SUPERKITTY99999]

No, he was using the death beam technique. ^^

[clownhorse]

I the crack is it flickering so much? I thought it had a maximum of 32(or 34) sprites per scanline.

[clownhorse]

sorry but there is a typo in that post.

I meant "Why the crack?" not "I the crack?"

[crammage]

classic best game franchise ever!!!

[Arem177]

Attack of the invisible Metroid! XD

Seriously, maybe if the player didn't mess with the weapon systems just before the battle , it probably would've been less glitchy. Oh well. Red did great anyway.

[Twiztedgoalie]

No...it gets glitchy because Red glitched past the barriers before the boss. The murder beam only slows things down at times. It never actually makes things go invisisble. Also we have Youtube framerate being different from the game so maybe just by chance youtube never saw the parts of the sprites flickering on screen.

[chonny1987]

and the queen metroid survives!

[JimtheBob]

This way is a bit quicker, you can shave about a minute off of your time. It is really ugly though :p.

[sp4cehouse]

lol invisible metroid

[pelletier1986]

yeah, what a glitchy battle...

we dont see what the heck is going on

and it doesnt look quicker this way than the normal way... i dunno, havent timed it

[JimtheBob]

Everyone thinks this is me... This is a run done by Red Scarlet, not me :)

[Arem177]

But you wish it was you. DO NOT DENY IT!! XD

[JimtheBob]

Of course I do! Red's got 8 minutes on me, which is a lifetime in this game :p.

[Tekkin58]

Why the hell did you use the Murder Beam?

[Arem177]

Well, considering it only took the player a few shots to defeat Mother Brain phase 2 with it, I suppose it was an awesome weapon to use. :P
