wow, awesome! I actually played this game for the first time over the last 2 weeks and just finished today with an IGT of 8 hours ... and so I wanted to check a speedrun to find how easily you can defeat those bosses. because phantoon, ridley and that worm thing gave me some big trouble. those movements are just wow, I had so much trouble with the wall jump and to see how one can actually utilize it, so cool. Oh and I didnt find this body check move, I really wanna get it next time oO

Let's GOOOO!!! I been following you for years. I grew up playing this game and you inspired me to try my best time. I didnt check real time but IGT it was 39 Minutes on my SNES!. Not close to the top dogs but one I'm proud of. Idk how I missed you back on top and once again setting the record in August 2020!

Playing on touch makes it hard to speed through, though. Anyways, can't wait until you break your own record again! Lol. Maybe one day I'll get my SNES or some platform with a controller back and I can get within a couple minutes of your best times! Good luck!

You're a legend! I love this game since I was a child and I borrowed a copy from this guy who owned a trading card store. His store closed and I never saw him again but I still have the cartridge.

[@robbelmont5226]

The fact that my best time ever is only 19 minutes slower than the world record and I can't do 80% of these strats is kind of cool, but at the same time that 19 minutes might as well be 100 hours as the amount of time and dedication necessary to get this good at this game is insane. Once the new route became the standard I kind of gave up. I've tried fighting Phantoon first and I'm just so awful at that boss that it's a run killer (even on the old route). Not to mention just getting to him first requires such an immense amount of precision that it's nearly impossible for your average player and something I've only been able to do once or twice.

[@robbelmont5226]

@Shadowforce10 It's been years at this point, but forever the fastest route was basically fighting the bosses in their intended order, but then at some point the route Zoasty does in this video became the gold standard. I love this game and it is probably my favorite of all time and I've beaten in the 100s of times, but the difference between a champion and someone who is just "good" at this game is a staggering amount of dedication and hard work. I tip my hat to Zoasty and others because I am genuinely in awe even to this day having watched probably a hundred different speed runs.

[@jamesmaring8090]

@@robbelmont5226 I just played this on the switch and I got that boss first, is that unusual?

[@zoasty]

There's always mistakes in super metroid runs by humans, no way to really avoid that. It's more about minimizing mistakes while still being aggressive.

[@zoasty]

It's beatable of course, but the fact I had an almost perfect escape, and really solid tourian overall, makes this hard to beat. I was so nervous during the escape that it's actually a miracle I didn't make any mistakes there.

[@dwoodieva]
