Ok, given that the site is no longer accepting emulated games, I have to use my cartridge now, and the clarity of pictures won't be the same. Oh well. Look forwards to the real game play come some time next week.
I watched about half of your run last night ... definitely better than the first segments you posted, but still sloppy in some parts. I'm sure you know which parts so I don't need to say them, but good luck on the real game, and I'm sure you can get 1:12 with some persistance.
250 missiles!?!?!? I'm way behind then. I beat it getting 180 missiles and 4 tanks. I know there was a 5th tank but I didn't know there was another 7 missiles!
there are 6 energy tanks. Might I suggest you check out Radix's map at gamefaqs?
Nintendo Power once had some great maps for this game I think. I recall them having full maps of every area with items pointed out. Or at least I'm pretty sure they did.
I think your segment is the one I have on my comp... awesome stuff, the Omega metroid glitch, getting hit on purpose to climb higher, those two tricks did it for me :P
