Kip has already done one: http://www.metroid2002.com/kip/phen_doesn't_hurt_you_geez.avi
If kip ends up with only 3 energy, you have no chance!

nah, since you still have to get those three tanks, it would still be a "novelty skip varia" game. that's why i don't appear too excited - even if it were true, it wouldn't mean much of anything for the community.
btw, i'm only a few miles to your east at the moment. hi. ;)

I noticed that....I graduated high school ('97) just to the South of you in Rose Hill. Small world!

I might as well help clear up some of this uncertainty regarding the VMR run and the MP NBMB run...
I believe that a 3 tank run is possible. It's an amazing thing to comprehend, but evevn Kip's run was far from optimum. Bboytide and LeCoureur have been discussing this on and off and LeCoureur always believed that a 3 tank run was possible with the right techniques and the correct replenishments collected mid-run.
With regards to the NBMB run (of which I am currently working on, with recorded segments), as with EVERY Metroid NBMB run, there will always be acceptions to the rule. SM lets you off with a few mini-bosses simply because it would be impossible to collect the bombs and do anything useful otherwise.
So far (and it's still under discussion), Parasite Queen, Incenerator Drone and Sheegoth before Wavebeam are allowed. The HOTE Chozo Ghost is under debate as well as to whether or not it will be acceptable to fight on a run (it CAN be bypassed, but we're still looking at it).
A NBMB run is certainly very feasable, but it's REALLY only for those who can be bothered working with Secret Worlds as they WILL be used quite extensively to aquire some of the more elusive items (such as the etank BEHIND OP without fighting him).
oh, and with regards to getting up the suntower wfrom the bootom WITHOUT the spiderball? Simple. Jump into a SW, work your way to that room, bomb jump UP the wall (where the spider track is), get to the top or float up near the top and door warp back in to fight the ghosts for that artifact...

I've never tried SWs before. I'm just trying to improve my best speed run. So my question is...how long would it take to get up the tower, assuming I'm experienced and efficient at this technique?
Also, do you know if SW videos will ever be put up here?
