[@DietBajaBlast]

I’m 41 and I beat this game for the first time today thanks for you. Got a time of just over 4 hours with 99% item completion after skipping that missile pack that required the tricky shine spark. Thanks again from a true fan of your videos.

[@TheScribe1.0]

I beat it a long time ago when I was 14.

[@mikemurphy5898]

​@TheScribe1.0 weird flex... but ok. You sound like one of those people who still brags about scoring the winning touch down in high school to win the championship. Your name isn't Al, and you're not a shoe salesman married to Peggy now by any chance, are you? Lol

[@mikemurphy5898]

That's awesome @DietBajaBlast ! Must be very satisfying to beat it after all these years.

[@DietBajaBlast]

@@mikemurphy5898 It was thanks! Such an amazing game, only wish using the space jump and wall jumps were easier.

[@denos6043]

@@DietBajaBlast I've beat this game so many times, can't really call myself speedrunner, but practice makes perfect. I used to be bad at wallkicking (wall jumps) but gotten pretty decent now. I'm still bit bad at shinesparking, but takes time and you will be a pro :)

[@thecatillaccat]

You always know that when UCBVG is off the air for a few weeks something BIG is coming, and this doesn't disappoint. Heck yeah.

[@Trevelyan2]

This was an unforgettable experience when it was released. I made my way to Kraid, died, and realized I wasn’t saving each time (I was hitting the wrong button). I wasn’t even mad in the slightest, since I got to do all of it over again. It was THAT great.

[@autobotstarscream765]

And that's how Super Metroid became a popular speedrun. 😎

[@FadeEthereal]

I did the same thing! LOL

[@jackp.3605]

Thank the gods for the quality of life dynamic that came after classics like xenogears

[@j.p.obregon1415]

Agreed. The experience playing it for the first time with fresh eyes was unlike anything else I've ever played. Prime came close, but Super Metroid was still the only one that ever gave me that feeling.

[@subtledemisefox]

​@@jackp.3605if there's any game that needs quality of life, it's Xenogears lol

This is some excellent work. A 3.5 hour long video on Super Metroid? This is perfection. Well done! Your content is unparalleled.

[@DragunBreath]

And the best part is they aren't over-produced and spastic like so many other YT'ers are these days.

[@Solsta]

My favorite game ever made! Its a game that is super special to me. I was going through a very bad time at home and school, and my grandparents got this for me when I went to live with them permanently to help cheer me up, and I was completely engrossed. Thank you for making this UCBVG and now I'll stop going Super Metroid when?😂

[@TheDarkLink7]

First off, sorry to hear it that from you bud. Secondly, I agree. Isn't there something so calming? And in engrossing with Super Metroid.

[@Dr-Weird]

As someone who escaped onto the snes himself. Sorry to hear about the bs. This and legend of zelda kept me alive.

[@Solsta]

Thanks, and it all ended up for the better for sure. Glad we all can share the beauty of games and their memories together.

[@chanceneck8072]

Mine, too. Either this or Mass Effect....

[@chanceneck8072]

Of course there have been a few gems from my childhood, that are runner ups like The Guardian Legend, Terranigma, Illusion Of Gaia, Secret Of Evermore and so on, but those are all pretty long games. Super Metroid can be beaten pretty quick by comparison. Especially if your name is Oatsngoats... 😅🤭

[@BetweenTheBorders]

Playing it at release was an amazing experience, but the fact that it stands up so well all these years later is what makes it one of the best. From solid controls to subpixel animation, every piece was polished to a mirror finish.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

One of the best games ever made. Its atmosphere created the feeling of being isolated, and having to only rely on your grit and wit to continue. A true classic i still take my hat off to salute to this day.

[@wesleyoldham4222]

3:12:40 My head canon is that the Baby Metroid only recognizes Samus because of the health alarm sounding. Most players will lose to Ridley on Ceres Station, and he leaves as soon as your health dips below 30 and the health alarm goes off. The Baby Metroid comes straight at you in Tourian and only stops a few moments after the same alarm starts blaring.

[@chrispayne1824]

Literally started playing this again a couple of days ago. Vid couldn't have come at a better time!

[@brady9592]

Same, just beat it and am primed to try to get a faster play through

heres a more rare one - ever play aerobiz supersonic? I bet I put 1000+ hours into that game as a kid. @@commiehunter733

[@mikemurphy5898]

When I used to look back I would wonder if it's because the technology finally opened up so many new possibilities and it was the first time anyone was exposed to them BUT even in retrospect, they stand the test of time, we're exceptionally well made/ designed and, imo, are deserving of the "classic" status they've achieved. TL;DR they weren't just new concepts, they were truly exceptionally well conceived, designed and implemented for any generation.

[@texasvoodoo5696]

Super Metroid is my all time favorite game. I can't even count how many times I played through it and it never disappoints. Definitely going to set some time aside to watch this video!

[@colleenanderson9711]

This game aged well and will always be one of my fav games of all time.

[@theamericanwordsmith2670]

Good to see you back! Can't wait to watch the new-- nearly 4 hours?! Let's rock!

[@dafrog81]

Whenever it's been a few weeks since UCBVG has posted I know something epic is coming. And I was right again. Thank you UCBVG, please keep doing what you do.

[@Rokabur]

Took him almost 3 months to post Dragon Warrior 3.

[@adaman0215]

I recently discovered your channel and I love it! The amount of work and attention to detail that you put into your videos is astounding! Your voice is pleasant and easy-going, and I'll sometimes put one of your playlists on at night in order to help me fall asleep. Thank you for all of your hard work! Keep it up!

[@gamerboy6787]

Edit: I just realized UCBVG has another video, the one on Dragon Quest III, that is EVEN LONGER than this one. Seriously, this man is a machine! Almost 4 hours. Dayum. Kudos. I can only imagine how long it must have taken to play, record, edit the footage, record voiceover, and upload. Serious kudos for this vid.

[@SECONDQUEST]

Dragon Quest 3 is also 3 parts long!

[@senorpoodles1755]

Dragon Quest games are long af

[@FreihEitner]

I love love love Super Metroid. Favorite video game ever! But I have NEVER gotten 100% (I think 98% was my best). Even looking at maps online, I've not been able to figure out what I missed.

[@FreihEitner]

2:33:19 - okay, that's one item I've missed before!

By far the best game you've ever covered. Thorough and concise. I'd love to do some free artwork for you as appreciation for what you do. Thank you for everything you do.

[@carysage]

Definitely one of the all time best! I wonder how many hours I put in learning the wall jump... So glad you made this video!

[@TheDarkLink7]

Probably the same length time I did lol.

[@Solsta]

I think all of us got stuck with the Eticoons by saving at that one save room 😂

[@Prodmullefc]

@@Solsta it introduced me to the concept of soft locking as a kid, because it isn’t as obvious how wall jumping works as the game tries to make it seem lol Even replaying the game as an adult I couldn’t figure it out until I read that you have to press away from the wall and then press jump in that order.

[@Mike-nf6nf]

I sold the game around 1999 because I couldn't figure out how to wall jump. I bought it again years later and fortunately had KZbin to help explain how to do it.@@Prodmullefc

[@Yahtzee_09]

Does anyone else just automatically click on the "thumbs up" before the video actually starts, because you know it's going to be great?

[@omegaalpha3594]

I do that, and if I get disappointed, I click on the “thumbs up” again and sometimes the “thumbs down” if you’re trash 🚮.

[@omegaalpha3594]

@@TheJmziring I’ve been doing that too…. But what I should really be doing is actually playing and beating the game.

Depending on the day either Super Metroid or Castlevania SOTN is my greatest game ever made. Hyped to watch this.

[@horatio_lionheart]

that Captain N reference certainly brings nostalgia for those who remember that show.

[@steverogers7601]

Super Metriod is a game I never played when i was younger. I remember seeing it at our Video store but never wanted to play it. It wasn't until the middle of being quarantined that i began playing it and WOW! it absolutely blew me away with how good it is for an SNES game. I can imagine how good it would have been if i played it when i was younger.

[@yeahyeahwowman8099]

[@Exit_343]

This is my all time favorite game!!

[@cecilrichardson2494]

Yep. An oldie, but still a goodie. Fun fact: if you're good enough at wall-jumping (somersaulting towards a wall, then pressing the Jump button & the opposite direction on contact), you almost don't need the Grappling Beam. That's because when you kick off from a wall-jump, you can still control which direction you drift while still in mid-air. If you take advantage of that, you can jump towards the wall, kick off, and then hook your jump back towards the wall on the way up. Going by that, you can essentially climb walls or bypass most Grappling Beam points.

[@earlthepearl6414]

So many great memories of this game as a kid. My parents bought it for me as soon as it came out and me and my cousin sat in front of the television playing it for I don't even know how long. I think we nearly started to grow roots into the floor. Ha ha My Mom had to make us turn it off and go to bed. Lol Oh how I miss the good old days. The nostalgia makes me happy whenever I think about it. Two kids playing this through for the very first time was a magical experience. I don't even know the proper words to describe it.,

[@Panzer_the_Merganser]

Freaky, was just thinking this morning if there was a UCBVG on Super Metroid - far and away a favorite of mine - an lo and behold! Made my Saturday morning.

I always love the short history at the beginning of your videos! I loved this game. Thanks for making another awesome one! ❤ Oh and your doggies look so cute together 🥰

[@CHamlin86]

Super Metroid is my favorite video game of all time. And I still look forward to watching this even though I know the whole game by heart. Also, a bit more detail on the Crystal Flash: what it actually does is convert 1 of each munition into 50 energy. It converts 10 missiles, 10 supers, and 10 power bombs so that will recover a total of 1500 energy, enough to completely fill you to full with all 14 energy tanks, and a bit more into your reserve tanks. Also, although you need 10 missiles, 10 supers, and 10 power bombs to perform crystal flash, you actually need at least 11 power bombs because one is used to perform it. If you have exactly 10 power bombs when you try to crystal flash, the bomb you drop puts you down to 9 and it won't work.

[@gamehulk]

Thanks for this! I followed along today and got 100% items and a time of 5:38 (did some backtracking and some exploring on my own before coming back to your video). Thank you for helping me revisit and complete this game for the second time in 29 years.

Hell yes! This game was synonymous with the 90s for me. The music / sound and the graphics + large sprites made this game feel like you were entering into the power of the 16bit era and life was never going to be the same. This is the first game that was just too scary for me to play but I LOVED watching my friend CJ play it. We would stay up at night and play with his Xenomorph toy collection, listen to Weird Al and play the hell out of this game! Some of the best days of my childhood!

[@thebiber9401]

Thanks to your explanation I was finally able to do the Kraid quick kill. All those speedrun tips on webpages and other channels explain it very poorly by telling what inputs one has to do which are nearly impossible for a casual player.

Thank You for finally doing this one, I've been waiting for it. Super Metroid was my 1st Metroid game, I bought it a couple of years ago because I'm going back & getting games I missed as a kid. I didn't get far in this, but its still a good game

Remember playing this at a friend back in 94, only finished it today! 30 years later. Absolutely lovely game, the sprite-art is beautiful (as with many Snes games) and hold up even today. Great guide! thnks!

Since he was gone a few weeks i figured he was doing another RPG, slightly disappointed it wasn't one, but glad it was one of the best games of all time!

Awesome, I've been waiting and keeping my fingers crossed for this one! Super Metroid is my absolute favorite SNES game, and I still love playing it to this day. A fantastic game, despite the fact that it's nearly 30 years old!
