Super Metroid - Restarting Game With All Items

[deathslicers]

Odd. Whenever I do this I take huge lava damage and just keep going through the floors and stuff.

[Pricysoap]

This just makes it easier to beet the game in less then 3 hrs!

[SuperLifesweet]

i love ppl who love this game..../

[SuperGamePower1]

pensei que se ia tuchá super misseis no Ridley !!!

[FinalStealth]

Just did the glitch. THANKS SOOO MUCH! Now I get to kill Ridley the way it was intended!!!

[1988Andymaster]

I ALWAYS WANTED TO KILL THAT RIDLEY BITCH LIKE THAT!!! Thank you :'( My dream has come true!!! :D :D:D

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

THE LAG, IT BURNS!

but seriously should i get an snes cart cor a sfc cart (sfc versions in english)

[Gamehog4231]

novacat56, i'm getting the same problem, and when i go out of the door it freezes. but i'm using an emulator

[LensOfTruth1689]

On a side note, doing the VAR glitch may do harm to your battery, so do not attempt on a cartridge unless willing to possibly break it!

[jcmario643]

Can this be done with out all items in the game, just some of them?

[YATVZ]

@jcmario643 Saddly u missing the missilse while doing this glitch.

[Luigi84289]

This is the greatest glitch known to man. I thought I'd already found all of them out damn this makes all the others look like trifles in comparison.

[novacat56]

whenever i try this, i shoot the VAR beam and instead of all the 1's appearing at the top, a bunch of vertical green lines do, is this because i do not have every missile, powerbomb, supermissile, energy, and spring ball powerups?

[ActionJack02]

i did it but i left the var beam on now i cant turn it off :(

[sinfuledge]

/watch?v=ftAyfWKNC7Y <--------- Glow in the dark Metroid Painting! Very Trippy!!!

[SuperFastsloth]

hi im performing the glitch (well trying to) but instead of an orange color appearing at the top of the screen when firing the Var beam, it just goes black. i then leave the room in a slow fashion like on the vid, but then the game freeze's with a black screen. any ideas?

[The70sDiscoKing]

@SuperFastsloth i'm having the same problem

[osmosys808]

Lol cool I never knew about this. Doubt I will do it, but still cool anyway.

[Giothermal88]

Ahahah i knew Ridley would run away! I got his health down low enough (because I wanted to see if you can kill him before he drops the metroid) and he just ran away! lol I did this with before the glitch was out, so I never knew if you could kill him or not. guess you showed us that you really can't. lol Thanks for the video man. :D

[iPodDude21]

Once I did this from Mother Brain's room, the alternate way, and accidently fired a Super Missile at the Save Room door. Completely forgetting about the beams. I forgot to turn off the VAR Beam. So at Ceres, I could NOT use my beam. The game would go nuts. I have a video on my channel if you wanna see what I mean. Anyway, I ended up beating Ridley with Morph Ball BOMBS. It SUCKED. Lesson of the day. TURN OFF THE VAR BEAM.

[SuperSajayin2Gohan]

Isn't it A bit Glitchy if you collect more Energie Tanks than you can normally get?

[GalaxiaShadow]

Wow, Ridley escapes even when your not dieing...

[Tailswraith]

Man, you just invented a Time Travel!

[Rampage4374]

I'm using ZSNES, I do everything right, but once I enter through the door, it shows the final part when you have to escape after you kill the final boss. Has that happened to anyone? Help?

[hobrahgetdolla8o8]

i neer did play super metroid, but i played the other games before. what console is it on cause i heard this one is really good

[telinc1]

With this glitch, you can also complete more than 100% of the game, by recollecting every item, completeing the game, and you will beat more then 100%.

[superstinkybeans]

Whenever I exit the room the game freezes... Is it because I don't have every item? Or because I'm using ZSNES?

[shadowsfall63]

it works ! Thank you man ;)

[Jacobdude123]

lol 5:08 ice gatiling gun 

[kargaroc386]

of course, it should work perfectly on BSNES, because it's a perfect snes emulator

[TheXMJohnson]

I bet Ridley would have had a hard time getting your health under 30.

[TurkishWarrior80]

What I dont understand about Super Metroid is that why there is another mother brain ? Hell of a game I accept that but the mother brain thingy is a big scratch.

The so called mother brain should have been destroyed in the first game.And now it is again there to fight as the final boss ? How did he managed to survive ?(It seems a bit ridicilous)

If you say there is another brain , it would sound also ridicilous because two brains will fight each other to become superrior.Father Brain maybe ?

[MrSamus101]

@TurkishWarrior80 mother brain is basically a super computer that controls the entire planet, its not actually their leader, ridley is the space pirate leaser (which is why he aslways comes back to life, because there is probably a lot of them bred in case one dies, like a queen bee in a bee colony) samus only went to zebes to get the metroid back, but when you get there you see all the space pirates so you have to stop them

[MATHGODpi]

no missiles?

[armandoynk]

when i change of room my znes close automatically. it say that is an error and it have to close.

[VictorDs1000]

whats thta game at 2:45?

[MrSamus101]

@VictorDs1000 metroid 2

[ramses1palma]

5:22 damnnn i better get outta here.... damn i forgot my metroid D:

[MrTealck]

this glitch dosent work anymore i know three people whove tried it and the same thing happens to them as well as me when you go back into the room with purple clouds we go to shoot the door on the roof samus flashes and then starts fallign through the floor in a never ending loop

[shadowtheshadowlord]

why didnt you use the super missiles vs ridley

[Blackdrake1]

Yeah If you do this on ZSNES Zebes blows up for no reason.

[OsamuNaraWu3]

@bowsersenemy many may do. but the creators pick up on the glithces quickly. i can name one and go a head and laugh but in pokemon platinum, pearl and diamond they had a cherish ball qlitch. when you hack it to get arceus's azure flute, the old membership card and oak's letter. you can catch the event pokemon with the cherish ball and fool the game for events. especially in pokemon platinum for the gradcia flower. Now the newer games of pokemon has gotten rid of the glitches though there is more

[SonemonV2]

Is this REALLY impossible on ZSNES or what?

[3dgisawesom3]

i love this glitch

[Embercry]

Which did you try it on? I have an old copy of that on the SNES, and the glitch DOES work, but my saves always fail, Im never able to restart it all the way, and if you recollect all the items it doesnt count towards your item collection count :( I was stuck at 99% in a 1:30 run, so tormented me

[ImperialWill421]

Does this glitch reset the Elapsed Time Counter as well?

[calebsbro757]

How do you do this on zsnes?

[3dgisawesom3]

@calebsbro757 i use snes9x

[mbipunkskinheadoi]

I figured it out. Thanks

[mbipunkskinheadoi]

I am having problems with this glitch. I did everything I saw in the video and no dice. Can you give me some helpful information?

Thanks

[calebsbro757]

@mbipunkskinheadoi doesnt work on zsnes

[mbipunkskinheadoi]

Cool

[DeeCollecter]

Dam...went over the character limit, BUT...continuing on:

I went back and tried it again, and it did the same thing...no timer or nothing!!!!

So, in order to do this glitch...you first need to do the one explained in this video, and when you set the power bomb to do this glitch that I'm explaining [to not have the timer and "defeat" Ridley again], you need to go through the door AFTER the bomb goes off. I would've made a video, but I don't have a cam-corder, nor the money to get one.

[DeeCollecter]

I figured out something by accident!! When you are fighting Ridley [in the Ceres Station], and it drops the Metroid, picks it up, and then flies off, and it makes that power bomb sound...just for the heck of it [since I did the "restart glitch" and had the power bombs], I decided to use a power bomb just after Ridley flies off. Much to my surprise, the timer didn't start and the background didn't turn red!! I went back to the start and couldn't escape! I had to go back and "defeat" Ridley again!

[Redwiz99]

dude it still wont work for me the top goes black and then when i go to other room it turns green and then its freezes

[Adeodatus229]

Now I can get squiggly line 9 super missals :D

[mmmmmarcus]

Whoa dude, reverse-sequence break

[Solracxealz]

@bowsersenemy, cheats are fun! FUN! FUNNNN! :)

[Tchay777]

@Solracxealz hahaha i totally agree!!!#$*^%&CTFSIGHDJFLFKDSH­K

[Solracxealz]

@bowsersenemy, because when you clear the game so many times, you just want to enjoy it in a different way ;P

[seanmay91]

@Solracxealz true

[ElectricGravity]

You couldn't start with the Hyper Beam?

[Dant2142]

@ElectricGravity No, because when you get the hyper beam, you lose the ability to do the VAR beam glitch.

[sa11ee]

Random question, you see at 0:52 just before/beneath the door to the right there is that passage with a blocked door at the end? I remember playing this years ago and could never figure out how to get in there!

[EinKrieger2788]

I have tried quite a few different places using ZNES and none of them seem to work perfectly. If you try it at this location but drop the multibomb instead of shooting with the var beam the planet starts to blow up and you can finish the game with Mother Brain still alive.

Even if you do find a place to finish the glitch successfully ( you can see all the items are available to pick up) the game still locks up when you try to load up the save.

[Grytviken]

I KNEW IT! I knew you could beat Ridley in the first fight! I did it once when I was a kid, and no one believed me :(.

"What did he drop it? Ok he's got it again... wait he's flying away... and I'm not low on energy... OMG I BEAT HIM!!!!" With only god as my witness, and maybe samus... and well Ridley I guess cause that buttmunch never dies. not sure how those things work. For sure metroid is dead tho... well he kinda lives on through samus... Ah forget it.

Reward: +1 satisfaction

[MEGAMANXCOPIA]

awsome :D

[1029gundam]

It works fine on my wii. Moste people would call this cheating and it does make the game almoste too easy but on the other hand because you can't get weans like the plasma beam until lae in the game it's fun to have them to just murder the early bosses.

[lujanr32]

@1029gundam the game is already easy as it is

[nickebest]

this must be emulator since u can't shoot that fast with plasma beam on SNES ?

[HixXxXxiH]

Will this reset ALL pickups aswell? So you can actually get expansions beyond the original max. capacity?

[killerrocks22]

hey i cant get VAR to work for emulator wtf?

[bobbob53629]

100% ? 3 reserve hats not 100%

[danielcdawson]

Gotta love the space-time beam.

It's kind of funny to see and hear the screw attack during the flashback animation, which is otherwise free of sound effects. The only thing that would make it better is if there were something that made her move faster so she fell on the floor and desynched the animation! :-)

[idio789]

cool too bad you can't kill ridley

[Blackdrake1]

When I do this on ZSNES Zebes blows no matter where I do it. Whether in Brinstar, or that Speed Booster room in Crateria, Etc.

[Slork8]

@Blackdrake1 Same here..I can't get it to work..ZSNES doesn't allow it I guess..

[FirestormSurtr]

@Slork8

Yes it does. I've done it a couple of months ago.

[zhero12345]

Does this restarts the timer?

[Flyingmouse51]

I did this glitch, and the escape sequence played. Extreme case of LOL.

[theawsomestdude]

can you do it with the hyper beam?

[jaquiox]

very cool! :)

i wonder what hapen with the items in the "new quest" they are still there? or you can stack up missiles ? O.o

[David999999873]

That's pretty awesome! Gonna have to try that when I get my usb controllers in two days, someone should totally make a speed run with this glitch just to see how fast it can be done.

Also, LOL you beat the hell out of Ridley so bad he dropped the Metroid tank! xD

[Littlemoviestudio]

My game just stops when i go theough the door.

[Redwiz99]

@Littlemoviestudio mine does to maybe you need 100% done to do it

[Littlemoviestudio]

@Redwiz99 Dont worry i got it to work, just happens to happen somtimes. 100% dosn't have anything to do with it.

[globaltrance86]

it seems like the plasma beam takes the same damage as the normal beam on this ridley :D

[sirDannyful1]

hey how do you do that to restart game with all items oviosly is in emulator

[Solracxealz]

@sirDannyful1, no, please read the video's description.

[omegamaxusman2]

@Solracxealz I tried it on mine and after I went through the door it stayed like a blazk screen but with the door and the yellow at the top,please help.

[BkXexailo]

@sirDannyful1 lol dumbass

[BkXexailo]

@sirDannyful1 lol fail

[isy111]

@sirDannyful1Successfully did it on Wii and SNES.

[3dgisawesom3]

@sirDannyful1 It can be done on the virtual console version and the regular snes.

[sirDannyful1]

@3dgisawesom3 ok, ok, but still the question, how do you doit

[3dgisawesom3]

@sirDannyful1 Same way as in every version.

[themoskaBR]

where are the normal missiles?

[Solracxealz]

@themoskaBR, they are having a super party.

[Nbzy5]

@Solracxealz lol They got so drunk at that party, they couldn't find their way back to Samus, little did they know she was at the Space Colony!

[globaltrance86]

@themoskaBR samus used all the normal missiles on mother brain in the introduction sequence

[OmegaRozenkreuz]

so, what happens if you get the upgrades "again"?

[Thenso37]

@OmegaRozenkreuz Nothing. I do the glitch every time I play Super Metroid, so I know.

[mjb1192]

i was figured the VAR was short for variable and had something to do with the programming

[Solracxealz]

@mjb1192 Consider that the game was programmed on japan, not america.

[m0thie]

@Solracxealz Yeah, but programming languages are universal in this aspect...

Also, the coding was translated to english, so it should have something to do with "variable"..

By the way, I just accomplished this on my Wii! Thank you for guiding!

[Zeryus]

@mjb1192 Since the beam is not legit within the game's programming, it tries to put in data where it's not supposed to be able to.

Meaning, once you get the two incompatible beams and force them to be compatible by tricking the key input, the game tries to draw data it doesn't have, and misplaces the text for the VARia Suit next to the piece on the menu.

[danielcdawson]

@mjb1192 It's probably a fragment of "Varia". For whatever reason, the logic gets confused (not surprising since you're doing something the programmers didn't think of) and puts those three tiles in the wrong place on the screen.

[ZAPPSOFT]

This can be done much easier if you use a modification tool for the SNES Rom, But originals are good too.

[TickleMeJewish]

You have to admit for the time Super Metroid came out it looked amazing.  I just watched some videos of the NES game and it blows it out of the water.

[NintendoMaster77]

lol, can it work if I started the glitch in a different area?

[hawk99578]

wow! just like zelda twighlight princess's glitch!... i am a zelda fan too.

[Thunderchin]

I would do this more often if it weren't for the intro. Fuck the intro, all we need is the narration, "The last metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is in peace.

[MarioGalaxy243g5]

The reason you don't have missiles is because of the Mother Brain cutscene where you use missiles.

[TheMrSeagull]

Sucks that you lose all your missiles. Rocks that you can keep getting more power bombs/super missiles.

[MNC117]

Heh, funny the gravity suit + screw attack jump appear in the memory as well. Guess they use the regular samus character for those cutscenes.

[PicklesareKhosher]

do you have to have the screw attack first?cause when i try it it makes me beat the game. >.>

[TheGFtrooper]

thanks :D

[hellder7]

I tried about 100 times... doesn't work.. maybe the ROM isn't good :S... for this glitch... (Do we need finish the game once... or have 100%?)

[tehQED]

Where are the normal missiles?

[handheldgamer144]

Samus FINALLY forgot to throw her useful upgrades away... except for the spider ball :(

[Rhakzor757]

it wont work, it either sets off the self destruct system or goes to the next room and freezes. help? maybe its because you dont have any enemies yet

[Rhakzor757]

rofl mine just sets off the self destruct system

[CommanderSieg]

Thank you so much! I've always wanted to start the game with all my weapons and items. This is awesome!!! Gonna enjoy this!

[Captainngamemaster]

Thats the first time ive ever seen ridley drop the metroid...Boy i must suck

[CandyExplosives]

@Captainngamemaster

What? Haven't you done that yourself with the normal weapon? Play Metroid more man ;)

[SENATORPAIN1]

what happened to regular missiles?

[0urob0ros]

@SENATORPAIN1

Since the game gives 4 missiles to Samus in the introduction scene to use for Motherbrain, it resets the missile reserve even upon the glitch. But that's nice enough to start with 50 super missiles !

[Locustx925]

my whole nintendo screen goes entirely black after i do this

[kirbydude55]

using this reset glitch, exactly how, i now have like 50 energy tanks and they all function properly ;) eat this mother brain!

[aznblank007]

at the start of the video if u bomb in the bottom corner of that room there is a door that is blocked. do u know how to get in there? that's the only place in the game i cant figure out

[kirbydude55]

in that same room with the giant drop, go all the way to the right and fall to the bottom but you wont you will hit a small pad. it is only a short distance from ground floor and it is one of the only pads that are touching the wall. bomb there and look around:you'll figure it out then

[youareallgoingtodie1]

@aznblank007 you come out from there from tourian

[LaNekra]

why arent you carring any missiles?

[rotcivmik]

5:12 Samus:REVENGE!!!!

[Fantasyboi4life]

how do u shoot that fast?

[Yoshi6851]

Does it reset ur play time?

If it does this might be considered usuable in speed runs probabally not though

[FraserAidan]

probably not...

but it would really fuckin help

[SilverTonguedSnake]

@Yoshi6851

I'm pretty sure using this glitch in speed runs would be considered cheating.

[zippobrand]

At least Ridley leaves after being shot several time. I thought you had to wait till you only get 20 hp... oh dang fuckin long

[masterlink424]

this isnt all items you have no missles

[Solracxealz]

All items > All the items you are carrying.

[Thunderchin]

@Solracxealz All items except Missiles.

[Solracxealz]

Lol ok bro

[RidleyPhantom]

5:24

i love it when ridley drops the metroid XD

[TheMurderBeam]

5:20 - That's some fast shooting!

[metroid885]

LOL i raped the first ridley boss fight room LOL everything just disappeared lol!

[zealotelite02]

Ridlay ran away because he felt if he would of stay he would destroy

[videogamenerd93]

i just did this glitch a while ago and somehow it ended up doing the escape sequence part LOL

[thegamerkid77]

my game freezes after i exit the room what do i do

[Dondeath]

Lmao, I love the Intro when it is restarted. She has the Screw Attack on.

[Dygeron92]

Cool glitch. It's like the New Game + feature from Chrono Trigger, you start a new game with every item you've collected from the previous game.

I oughta try this glitch for myself just to see the fun stuff I could do!

[pownualltohell]

This doesn't work. IT BREAKS YOUR GAME

[Kyithios]

I haven't noticed this broken game you're talking about. It makes the game childsplay, but it doesn't BREAK it by any means. I've done this on console, emulator, and I haven't even tried on Wii since I lack a Wii.

[Fitfatfoofite]

Technology illiterate person is on youtube.

Remain calm.

[InB4Desu]

Illiterate person is on Youtube, remain calm.

[vincelikeshalo2]

you lose all your missiels and it keeps your time so its pretty mutch pointless

[ElectrumZephyr]

You're probably using the wrong emulator, which in this case must be ZSNES. It will work just as shown here on Snes9x.

[VectorVsSonic]

Doing this on SNES will cause a crash. But nice glitch!

[MsG4briel]

that thing you're doing and the computer or even nintendo??

[soulhunter4444]

I think the best part of this video was when Ridley "forgot" the baby Metroid.

I guess getting your ass kicked causes memory loss.

[Knightmon99]

wow no way lol dude i love dis game so much during the first scene samus surppose be gray not purple(2:16)XD thats tight

[dragoonshinryuu]

everytime i do it i just get to the time when you just beaten motherbrain and running for your life to the ship and finish the game. or it just freezes. What am i doing wrong? can someone help me?

[91doggy]

how do it?but with nintendo?please answer

[NicholasTheLugia]

when I exit the room, the game just crashes.

[TheCape]

Someone should run a TAS with this glitch

[hendecahedron]

The only thing left to find are the missiles, but hey, it's the only thing to worry about!

[nellchristolawrence]

5:30 Samus:Yeah! Take That! Ridely: OH CRAP!! I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!! Samus: Hey!! Get back here and take it like a man!! Grr..maby he BEEB BEEB BEEB! Samus:CRAP! self-destruct! time to get outta here! Maby he went to zebes...i'll go check there. Samus flys off...lands...hmm..no sign of him here...maybe I should go deeper in...TO BE CONTINUED.

[nifer63]

at 5:11. MACHINE GUN BEAM

[skrface13]

would love to see a speedrun with all items, lol

[fmisback]

its almost like samus kept all the equipment from her previous mission! Which actually would make more sense!

[Jackafur]

@fmisback

dropping=/=forgetting 

[XMETALGEARS59X]

@fmisback that was always the thing that was either an uber mind fuck or just plain broken logic in all the metroid games.

[TheMotherbrain]

lmfao it broke the intro. xD I'm so trying this on my snes

[MFDelta]

It broke the intro xD

When fighting flashback Mother Brain, Samus does a screw attack and suddenly stops being black and white xD

[ThatOneTallKidd]

Good to see I'm not the only one who lost missiles when doing this.

[tremuloser]

@ThatOneTallKidd do you need to kill ridley...

a warning to some veiwers and i really think this should be in the description. i tryed utilizing this glitch with another door in hopes of getting JUST the varia cannon and everything went to plan exept for the whole "falling threw
