I'm really determined to play through this game as well as you did... It's been killing my thumbs though as the version I currently am playing is the 3DS one... ≈_≈;
I definitely have a few new tricks to try after seeing this speed run. I've never even thought to try bombing Kraid, nor have I ever used bomb-jumping and regular jumping together to do a super high jump. Amazing, truly amazing.
This game is just impossible to me the enemies are impossible, the codes are long, and i cant find or figure out anything...you made hte game look fun. =]
@PowdergameFan18 you made this game look fun?? this game IS fun. The atmosphere, the controls, the exploring, the power-ups, the music, the overall feel - This game is near perfect.
4:29. All these years, some people thought Samus was a man because of that suit. But 20+ years later, we got a very sexy zero suit female. Yes, I ain't afraid to say it. Samus Aran is sexy next to Lara Croft.
the dick move on nintendo's part was during Super Metroid, when you realised the map layout showed that the entrance point of the game was just 2 squares away from Mother Brain....
@davidgsr2k actually i hate the original Metroid. so i woudnt even bother trying to get it. Zero Mission and Super Metroid are my favorite. so joke's on you i guess.
Good Job. Got the Bikini Samus. Damn hard in the US release to earn. Only gotten it a handful of times. If I go after both bosses most of the time I'm just a little over the half hour time requirement.
So often this ending is referenced as the reason why Samus is okay to sexualize, but y'know, they only had so many pixels to work with then. Really, I couldn't even recognize she was a girl when the helmet came off. In my mind, they kind of needed the bikini and leotard to help drive the message home.
Today though, it's purely for faps. The artist in Fusion showed a respectful take on her though. That guy actually drew her with a body type that made sense.
That is truly a great speed run! I had no idea you could kill Kraid with bombs nor had I ever seen the trick you did to get across the Ridley/Kraid bridge.
One of my favourite games ever, love everything about it. As a young female gamer I remember I though it was absolutely amazing to find out Samus was a woman.

Metroid Prime series sucks ass! Its not even Metroid its a stupid first person shooter...I don't even count them as true Metroid games at all. Super Metroid (for obvious reasons) was the best of the whole series ^^
men metroi ZERO MISSION is a remale of this game but obisle way improve and the next one in the chain is not super metroid but metroid 2 when she goes the mwtroid planet
@pingui0987 No I mean Zero Mission Takes place after this game. The reason your still on the same planet is because story wise you crashed back on the planet.
@halokid57 Zero mission was the remake of this game and super metroid was the continuation zero mission had the same bosses and more or less the same map as metroid nes super metroid on the other hand had the same bosses as well but the main difference is the ending boss fight with mother brain in which she gets out of the glass shes in when you beat her first form
most excellent game! i just recently played it after close to 20 years! i felt like a kid again. they dont make them like they used to. these new games got nothing on the old games!
yes I realize that but despite that I found it difficult to play without verticle shooting and with distracting 8-bit music thus find the remake much better
Great job man, I've still gotta polish my game a little more before I can do that. I've beaten it in 35 min's though but I got the long beam, high jump boots and a few more missiles. Still need to work on takin out those regenerating vile deals right before mb, I always waste too many missiles on em'.
I like metroid. But it is hard, too hard for a n00b like me. I can't even get past kraid. But I did beat Super Metroid, so... ah well. Great job. In 22 minutes, too.
Do what I did... Skip this and get the incredible remake Metroid: Zero Mission. That game rocks so hard.
It adds everything a metroid fan would love about the first + better graphics, story, sound, control... err pretty much it was the best remake of a game I've ever seen EVER! I'd put zero mission above Super metroid even! Was like a mesh of Metroid + Super Metroid + Metroid Fusion.
btw I think this game has the best ending of all NES games xD!! GJ spiceninja
I just finished the game and felt simply great- it was the cooles thing and I was proud of myself for finally finishing it. Now I've seen the speed run and feel like a litte pussy O.o
It looks like you took a huge shortcut with that jumping on the flying thing.
I never got far in this game. I had no idea where to go. It was hard and discouraging. That's why I loved the "Super" one so much -- 'cause you got maps and a ton more items, not to mention you could duck and shoot all the way across the screen. ^_^
This game is still epic though. The music is awesome too.
thanks for the posts. brings back memories of when I was 10. Watching you launch missles into mother brain only reminds me how satisfying that part was. Don't forget the password JustinBailey .. lol
He's right. Metroid 2: The Return of Samus is on the original GameBoy and Super Metroid is Metroid 3. In fact when you load up Super Metroid it says "Metroid 3". Do some research before you make accusations like calling someone a retard.
