Super Metroid - Any% "GT Code" speedrun in 0:18 by Saturn

[ElectrumZephyr]

But for Samus, this was just Tuesday.

[TrynaBeeFunny]

RBO GT Code.

[zellthemedic]

Legendary.

[homicidemanex]

Two questions mate, when you do the torizo room cheat does it only work the first time you enter? If so does it not work on the PAL version of the game?

[l2eeve]

This is a great TAS! Congratulations! Are you working in any other TAS for Super Metroid or any other game? I love your work.

[uut0]

I think there are probably codes like this for every boss :O.

[darkcross1337]

Metroid @ 27:53: Alright Samus, I'm going to drain your energy now.

Samus: Nope. -Exits room.-

[rehctelfnaes]

BUT YOU DIDN'T SAVE THE ANIMALS!

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF!

[meowlaise]

Space Pirate A: "Our entire armada? Destroyed? By WHAT?!"

Space Pirate B: "I'm not sure. Some kind of purple blur...?"

[D3X18]

lol sick m8

[awsczxfr]

SAMUS BETTER BE FUCKING TOPLESS AFTER THAT SHIT

[PipePlazaStudios]

@awsczxfr

Samus: You told them WHAT?!

Nintendo: We're sorry! We never imagined anyone would ever manage to complete the game this fast!

[MarcBrightside]

How many times did you rehearse this run to get it so finetuned? Jesus...

[EclipseMoonXIV]

@MarcBrightside

it's tool-assisted. He used savestates to perfect the run.

[MarcBrightside]

@EclipseMoonXIV Yeah, at the time I didn't know what a TAS run was. Not much of a speedrunner myself, I prefer to get 100% in any game I play.

[okutabareo]

Has any one tried GT Code with NBMB run? Get yourself stuck at the metal door and X Ray jump up.

[Kotaro651]

einfach nur perfektion

dazu fallen mir einige sachen ein, entweder das is irrgentwie ein computer programm, oder irrgentwie vorbestimmte makros , z.b. für die waffenauswahl oder so ... (ab 27:00 )

und noch .... bei 22:43 , wie hat er aufeinmal den gedrehten sprung, wo er doch eben noch ball war oder was auch immer, geht zu schnell

oder im MB raum, wieso kriegt er da keinen schaden wo er doch min. einmal getroffen wurde

und ich muss zugeben ... n bissel bin ich neidisch :p

[BohepansTheThird]

15:02 - You are now experience the biggest nerdgasm / brain meltdown / fanboy heart attack of your life. Breathe. Just breathe.

...HOOOOOLYYYYYY *censored for sensitive people*. WHAAAAAT. I'm like, going into shock or something, here. THAT IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE. I would love to know the genius who thought of this idea, and managed to keep it hidden for, what, a decade and a half? More? INSANITY. That is pure intelligence. How did this get missed for so long. Wow. I'm..stunned.

...I breathe now...

[Fiely0]

I don't understand how the boss at maridia at 21:38 is beaten so fast. with one shot? :)

[diddel68]

@Fiely0 By switching Xray on and off quickly the boss gets hit multiple times by a single shot.

[Fiely0]

@diddel68 now it is clear, thanks! amazing trick

[Ranzear]

Is there a particular reason for opening doors with the grapple beam? Faster traveling than a normal shot if the door is in reach?

[WayneJr87]

Saturn... what would you say if I found a way to shave off several minutes in this run? No shit...

[MHGenesis]

It looks like this game has still secrets...

[Tiniuc]

Saturn, someone else uploaded this same video: watch?v=JxlqnjeUrcE

[KIFulgore]

Can the GT Code be used easily on a standard SNES console? I mean, is it easy to do by humans, or does it take super-precise timing requiring a tool assist?

[ZidaneTribal93]

Recently, a year or so, the item (includes every item, weapon, accessory etc.) duplication glitch for FFVII has been discovered. More than ten years upon its release. Thats what I love about games. The community always finds some new interesting things, even after a decade has past. Fuck yeah!

[MickYDDR]

When i'm feeling sad i always watch one of your TAS, such patience is really unbelievable.

[michrev]

Dang, your moves just get more and more insane!

...And it took -how long- to discover that cheat?

[BurningGoldfish]

Draygon didn't stand a chance.

[RealXXXTurkey]

Why does this trick work? Press 4 buttons during a certain door transition and suddenly you get all the items, why is that?

[DarakuTenshi]

@RealXXXTurkey It was put in there by the programmers, whether its on accident or purpose we will probably never know.

[Duker89]

@monkiasss No that's just the glitch this entire run is based upon.

[MorteTheSkull]

@monkiasss Perhaps try reading the video description.

[MrBroken030]

great run

[TheUnknow]

That is some Trick you show there... man... excelent run thought!

[Cupi7]

i missed you and your tas, you r my favourite taser^^ thx for uploading!

and it´s awesome like always thumps up!

[tylerdurden3891]

Also, every time I do this the game just freezes when I enter the room. IfIi jump into the room it either freezes when I land on the ground, get hit by the statue as it's falling, or if I fire my gun. I started shooting him with missiles but when I ran out I accidentally fire my beam and it was lights out.

[SwedeWithAnAccent]

@tylerdurden3891 I haven't tried this yet, but looking at the video it seemed that it activated all the beams. Make sure to turn off either the spazer or the plasma beam before shooting!

[tylerdurden3891]

How did you wall jump off the spikes in the lava lake that leads to Ridley's lair?

[Nackers69]

Aww for a second there I thought you was going to save the baby metroid. That would have been my equivalent of bringing Aeris back to life. Poor little gigantic monstrocity :(

[tylerdurden3891]

As a kid I always wondered if there was a way to just automatically get all the items without collecting them. Who'd have thought it was actually possible? Nice find!!

[beefmaster7]

this what I've wanted to see on a SM run.

[7584695]

how does this bug work?

[Hattes]

Oh, and you were so close to saving the metroid in the end! :(

Is the GT code possible/easy to execute on real hardware?

[AaronJLong]

Saturn always delivers!

[LinkTetraWW]

'TAS' is very prominent in this video and related texts.

[NonRandomUser]

Somewhere, Gumpei Yokoi is screw attacking in his grave.

[insidetrip101]

fabulous as always.

[sabata2]

18 minutes... Congratulations you've managed to cut down the run time so much the in game timer is half the actual video length.

[TanukiTeabag]

Oooh, now I want to see a "maximum %" run in which you get to the GT with as few items as possible and then collect them all again :P

[fredrickpendragon]

How the FUCK do things get found 17 goddamn years after the game's release? This is the weirdest thing.  There are map editors for this game, it's been decompiled, but it hasn't been torn to shreds trying to find interesting shit or impossible easter eggs?

[Kamb3ck]

OMG

[sectb42]

so if you use this code what's inside the torzo balls where the items are supposed to be? is it possible to get over 100% items?

[SaturnTAS]

@sectb42: Yes, the items are still there and you can get well over 130% that way.

[Ranzear]

@SaturnTAS So potentially there could be a 'max percentage' run? Get to Gold Torizo with minimum pickups to maximize the over-percentage of re-collecting items?

Challenge Accepted?

[EebstertheGreat]

@sectb42

Note that there is a much easier way to get over 100% with the reset (var beam) glitch.

[rickmustaine]

First!!!!

[StoicSpud]

Im not sure if it really classifies as a bug, considering its just a debugging tool left in by the developers

17 years and still being broken. thanks saturn!

[44dman44]

@StoicSpud Why do you thinks this is still one of the best games around? Because people love to see what they can do with it.

[insidetrip101]

@StoicSpud

What you are saying is that it is an unintended consequence based off of programing, which is exactly what a bug is: any unintended consequence of coding.

[nickmessenger]

@insidetrip101 By its nature, it was obviously intended to work in this way. What's not known, at least to me, is if it was intended to be left into the final product or not.

[EebstertheGreat]

Woah. Would tasvideos accept this bug for the any% category?
