Thread title:
Heck yeah! Are you working on some vids of the speed tricks there? Are there speed tricks?

I('d) like to watch (some MP3 runs)
There's some faster stuff you can skip over supposedly, like the Screw Attack, but I find getting it worth the extra minutes because it makes some badguys a lot easier, as well as lets you just jump through..but whatever.
The bomb boost jump is a quicker way to get out of the Ice Beam room (which isn't needed, either).
Then there's skipping the bosses altogether, but you have to keep going back out of Mother Brain's chamber and get Missile refills from Metroids, and that takes longer than just beating the bosses anyway (and you have to be playing on emu to make it fast).
I'll redo some runs hopefully with more speed; those runs were more or less tape filler on-the-fly.
I think I could reduce the time of the run to about 35 mins or less if I played the game more. =/
Yeah, thanks for putting up with all the crap I've been sending, Nate.

Don't you need to beat them in order to open the path to Tourian, kinda like in Super Metroid?
you could always have used zie.

You don't need to beat either boss to get into Tourian.
You can just go to the statue room, go back through the door, and one of those Rio monsters can be lured through to the statue room, frozen, and then used to bomb jump from into Tourian.
But IMO it takes too long to get a decent supply of Missiles (15 is the minimum needed I think), and to get lucky and get Missile refills from Metroids to keep going.
In the Mother Brain room, as you have 15 Missiles, you'd have to use no more than 10 per Zeebetite (giving you 2 misses), then hope a Metroid gives you a Missile refill or you're screwed.
The damage done to Mother Brain supposedly stays even when you leave a room, but only as long as you get Missile refills.
Get 1 Energy refill from a Metroid, and Mother Brain gets all her health back.
So more or less, this type of run on a console could end up taking hours and hours to finish.
Not very fast..but a cool idea nonetheless to pretty much try on an emulator.
Hopefully there soon will be a Super Metroid section... :o

Not impossible
just highly unlikely
Bleh, I hate those cheated runs. There's nothing impressive about that. I know it's still time consuming and everything, but it's not real. See Sess's 1% Fusion run as an example of how to make something that looks good without resorting to cheap bullshit tactics like slowdown and savestates.
