Hi,

I've played all of them over and over. Speedrunned them, found out sb tricks myself which were discovered by community already and got crazy on SJF in MP1... You get the shot. And then I stopped. Gone working, finished school, left them behind for two years. Tonight I took my old SNES out and plugged it into my TV and started a new SM game.

I made the 100% SS in 2:04. I remembered every single item location, every room and every sb possible.
And it was awful. As if you're not playing a game but making a race against time which forces you into using every strategy you know. You can't just skip early supers if you know how to get them. You can't wait for powerbombs until getting ice beam, you just have to walljump your way up in red brinstar.

I remember playing SM when I was younger. Jumping into the lower parts of red brinstar felt incredibly dangerous and hard. You knew you won't get out of this pit for a long time but this excitement is over. I hoped to get it somehow back but it seems it will never ever return again except you find out how to forget about all the games and it's ingenious crafted level design.

So, how to do it? How do you forget the games if you were a hardcore speedrunner and burned every picture of them in your brain forever?

Is amnesia an option?
I thought about binge drinking.
No, honestly, once the book is read it will never be the same or will it?
Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
No chance.  Once you've played a game enough times, it doesn't seem like you can ever forget.  I remembered playing Target: Renegade to death when I was a kid on my Amstrad CPC 464.  At the latest, that was around 1992 or so..?  So, I fire it up in an emulator some months ago, and what happens?  I complete the game first time, with no deaths. aiwebs_003
red chamber dream
if it's something you played as a kid, never

otherwise, just have to wait longer

I think probably 20+ years would be enough to get your mind to forget. Of course you'd have to completely forget about the series itself. Meaning Nintendo would have to stop making the games otherwise your mind will make the simple connection of "New Metroid game? I hope it will be as good as the old metroid games. Like Super. Where you could get Supers Early, or PBs early.. or DAMNIT"

So if you cut yourself off from society for 20+ years, it should happen.

How likely is it for you to actually forget? Near impossible.
I agree with Sabata on this. Unless you can cut yourself off completely for a very long time, which is practically impossible given today's world, as soon as you even think about playing Metroid again things are naturally going to come back to you whether you want them to or not. It's like that with anything you care enough about, really.

Ta'kaya as "Teyla the Demiphoenix"
SM Redesign and SM Impossible are your friends. If that doesn't help? Resort to high quantities of alcohol and self-concussive behavior.
What'd you say?
Drunk speedrunning is fun though...
