Super Metroid - Reverse Boss Order -

GOT IT.
This run can be improved in a few places, and the RNG wasn't all good but ultimately this is the run I was looking for. I'm happy to be done with the category for now at least.

I just played and beat Super Metroid for the first time in 2024 after playing Zero Mission and Fusion many many years ago. Upon looking at Super Metroid speedruns, I noticed something called Reverse Boss Order. This blew my mind. It's unreal. This is amazing, man.

[@muninraven3327]

My first real examination of Reverse Boss Order. Extremely fascinating and utterly exhilarating/exhausting to witness at this level. Congratulations.

[@dailydols]

WRs dropping like rain that time of the year! Congrats, Zeni!

[@dailydols]

55:XX next! :D

[@benpugh124]

I don't know how it happens, but I've watched Zeni's 1:13:04 Hundo WR live, 1:12:53 Hundo (current) WR live and now this one. I don't watch all that much, but I guess I watch when it counts! Congratulations again, Zeni!

[@mjfilho33]

I never imagined that Grappling Beam also served to pick up items from a distance 😲

[@MattyP84]

moi non plus

[@leeartlee915]

Incredible Zeni. This is personally one of my favorite runs in SM so kudos.

[@patrickthies8683]

I followed your grind for quite some time now and Im happy for you that you seemed to gain some sort of relive after this run. Even if its just for a little bit. I hope you find the enjoyment you are looking for. Thank you for your turtorials and the hours you put into the game. Very enjoyable to watch.

Unreal grind, amazing work as always, it's been a blast to see the times drop and drop and drop! 🎉

[@aapoetik]

Very clean. Amazing 👏🏻

[@myworldview999]

hey "creep," nice wr! 😁 I've been watching your 100% tutorial--GREAT stuff!

[@DestroyerX61]

But I just watched your other record yesterday

[@waldogreen]

This was definitely a sick run congrats

[@skoico]

cant wait for your comeback on this category!

[@IdequelBernabel]

That was insane!! 😳Amazing!

[@iwearthegold]

Taco Tank victory noises made me actually laugh out loud

[@ShinyZeni]

😆

[@jasonburke147]

You keep breaking your own world records. 😳

[@Al3xM]

wow this is really incredible watch

[@sebengabriel]

Parabéns cara, vc é demais!!!

[@ghosthnw9772]

Can anyone explain what happened at 8:07? I'm confused as to how, after minutes of dancing inside a block, Samus suddenly clip down through the floor in the previous room. PS: haven't watch the full run yet, just stop to express my confusion.

[@ShinyZeni]

It’s a trick called moondance. It builds up your fall speed by doing a bunch of moonfalls over and over. I released a tutorial on it yesterday.

[@GearsGirlsGuitars]

Hells yeah Zeni

[@jichi9]

Zeni in an entire league of his own!

[@Red_Biker_Dude]

Nice run

[@frankstone8930]

Remembering 50 something was WR for any% ... Man, that run was a wild ride 👍👍👍

[@Klonoz]

brutal run

Never knew about that shortcut at 56:00 What the heck lol

sheeesh gg

[@runagaterampant]

Hell yeah 👍

[@longaugust]

oh shit whaddup chat

[@lake4ishikawa]

siiiiiick 💯

[@enthalpy]

If you can’t get taco tank, what other tank do you get instead?

[@ShinyZeni]

Same energy tank, just later in the run

[@priestessofkek2406]

Noice! :))

[@pegasus567]

New to watching this category, when did he store the second and third spikesuits??? I only saw him charge the first one. I'd especially like to know about the one after Draygon

[@ShinyZeni]

3? From memory there are only the 2 stored sparks. 1 leaving Lower Norfair, charged on the spikes after the fire fleas room. The other is a shinespark given by interrupting Crystal Flash when Draygon grabs Samus.

[@pegasus567]

@@ShinyZeni Ohhhhhh. Was the one from after LN stored all the way until 37:01 (after Botwoon)? For some reason I thought the first charge was used before that, mb. Good to know on that tech where you get one from Draygon interrupting the CF, I'd no idea that was a thing.

[@ShinyZeni]

@@pegasus567 yes the LN one is stored until after Botwoon as you said :)

[@2bleubird]

I had no idea you could sequence break the game to this extent

[@kevspeedruns9947]

It's barely possible now thanks to Moonfall/moondance. Wouldn't really be doable without this. It's crazy discoveries are still being made that long after the game came out :O

[@adamkeifenheim1727]

The first try taco tank wasn't even the highlight.

[@samus6256]

@37:02 How did he shine spark here?

[@alexolivarez732]

How did you open that barrier at 11:24 without wave beam?

[@ShinyZeni]

Shooting a super from that position will clip the super missile through the gate and hit the switch.

[@kevnastics]

Fuck yes!

[@mirairamiel]

holy shiiiii......

[@masive3217]

This aint TAS right? Even if it was, ur skills are so insane boi i lov u

[@ShinyZeni]

Nah this was played by me. Thanks for the kind words :)

[@masive3217]

@@ShinyZeni i know just wanted to praise u

[@JSSTyger]

Whats it like being the GOAT?

[@icechingu]

Singing stops at 1:52

[@ShinyZeni]

does it ever truly stop though? Or has it just stopped in your heart? 😏

[@lucodeath]

It take me ages to do a mock ball. No chance of me doing this.

[@Mawae602]

How the hell did he shinespark at 37:03?🤔

[@ShinyZeni]

It’s a glitch called spikesuit. The damage on the spikes leaving lower Norfair was intentional.

[@nimbus3218]

You didn’t save the animals you monster!

[@xuninx]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@brockb6]

55:XX incoming!

[@colombahidalgom]

Quliao bueno

[@javierdardon5260]

Why did you do that? 8:48

[@ShinyZeni]

It’s a trick/glitch called moondance that allows you to clip through the floor in the room to the left of this one.

[@Momo-ei6cr]

one day ill see 55 of you

[@CloudVII315]

23:22 how do you that 🤔

[@ShinyZeni]

It’s called a Crystal Flash. You have to be low on energy, with enough ammo, and then you hold a button combination after laying a power bomb.

[@delomegan]

Este tipo no es presidente por que quiere

[@ShinyZeni]

You’re right I don’t want to be the president of anything that sounds awful

[@Dangox]

XD

[@JSSTyger]

How is 8:58 not classified a major glitch?

[@Fletcher64]

It's just a bunch of moonfalls, right?

[@MultiSatox]

dude u playing much better than singing!

[@renaudgass3146]

Rho cheater

[@ShinyZeni]

What ?

[@Frostschuss]

maybe stop singing
