Amazing. So a 21% run is finally legit. Wonder when (or if, forget if they allow outside of boundary glitches) a speed run of it will come out, lol. Nonetheless, I will be trying it out sometime if a have the patience for the wall crawl (which makes the Geothermal Core seem much easier) and the bomb jumps in the Impact Crater.
I am guessing that this is only possible in pre-Player's Choice and Prime Trilogy copies of Metroid Prime as both of those versions require that you have the Grapple Beam before you can get the Plasma Beam, and IIRC Prime Trilogy requires you to have the Power Bombs as well as the Grapple.
@Quadunit404 21% is impossible anyways for other reasons in those versions. Furthermore, it may be possible just to wallcrawl one more room to Plasma processing, and possibly be able to get out. But nobody is going to bother testing, since that wallcrawl is long and nobody cares about anything outside of 1.0 .
@RingRush Yeah, I have found Metroid Prime to be hard even with 100%.
And as long as we can still find 1.0 copies lying around game retailers, we can discover the bugs the beta testers missed and exploit them to our advantage (if possible). It might also be possible for the same to be said about later copies; I found several bugs in Prime Trilogy's version of Prime 1, although most of them are probably artifacts from porting Prime 1 to the Prime 3 engine. Same can be said about Prime 2.
I'm sure it was quite worth the probably half a million failed morph ball drops

I'm sure this is a million and a half times easier than the bomb jump method o.o

Sweet. The Metroid Prime 1 runs on SDA are my favorite. Hope they are improved at some point. Low% is sick.
