I was thinking, this thing could be used to our advantage, if used properly. Personally, I think it's pretty weird for Mother Brain to become dismantled, and for Samus to fall through the ground, and to have lava spontaneously appear, and other stuff like that. So if we just come together, right now, over me, we could figure out how to make a very fast speed run.

First question I have is what items are needed?

Before you even ask you cannot sink through the floor into Tourain the game crashes. It also would slow down a speed run not quicken it do to resetting all the bosses.

Well still, it would beat the time, I'm sure, it's not going to take 37 minutes to do it.

Anyways I think if I am elected President, er, I mean, if we use the S/T beam in a certain place, it'll make brinstar exploding, and you can hopp in your ship, and itll be game conplete. It'd be a low percent nbmb speed run!

Wait...nevermind.....

yea but speed runs have rules and one of them is u cannot use glitches like that u must actually go through the game properly and yes there is a way to make the game start exploding and to do it u go to the place near bottom of escape shaft do the same trick exept fire super missile other direction then when u go through the door closes metal and its explodin i done it b4 it doesnt always work but it cant be used in a speed run or i would be no.1 with a time of 31 mins 8)

Ready and willing.

Please... please, Vogue, use proper puncuation so we don't need a translator to read your posts. It may just be a policy, but you can't fragrantly ignore it.

Vogue, that is only possible on the emulator. Not on the console. And never make me to read something that cracks my head open like that again if the info isn't breaking news.

As for how far s/t can be taken, I imagine you could break into tourian early. However, as kej is the only one who knows anything about out-of-rooms travelling, it's up to him to find.

Apparently, Yoshi thinks Vogue needs to shower a bit more frequently. Laughing

And, really, what's the point? If I discovered some secret code that I could use right after landing on Zebes, that started the "countdown" sequence, I could finish with a time of 0:01. Would that run be as impressive or as educational as anything Smokey or Red Scarlet have done? Nope. I'd much rather watch a skillful speed run, including all major bosses, and full of jaw-dropping speed tricks, than watch someone trigger a glitch that lets them skip major chunks of the game.

Kej found out something interesting about a week ago. He said that the ending sequence is trigger by the room after Mother Brain, not Mother Brain dying. With that being said, it wouldn't make any sense if-

I'm bored. >_> I won't continue this post because I am too bored. Sorry, bye. Crying or Very sad

http://tetratech.ath.cx/~kavir/METROID.JPG - yes, there's profanity in the background of that link. To all those with soccer moms, you've been warned.

As it requires savestates/deleting saves, it can't exactly be done on a console, but it still rocks. >_>

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder

I don't see what's special about it. It's just messing with loading save data when there is no available save data. It's no more special than a code that makes Zebes explode as soon as you get to it.

The idea was that, even if it's blatant cheating, it's still finishig the game uber-quickly and isn't a code. Mostly, it was to complement the quoted statement.
