(Timestamps are after description) Welcome to my 3rd Super Metroid playthrough for the SNES classic edition. This time around, I selected the CRT filter from the console's display menu to emulate the look of the game being played on an old tube TV. It will even include scan lines. I set the quality of my video to 720p 60fps. I beat the game under 3 in-game hours. Clear time was 2hrs 54min. Beating the game under 3 in-game hours will reward you the best ending: Samus removing the power suit. I'll sometimes quit the game to go look at my in-game time and then I'll open the file to continue the game. I DO NOT own the Metroid franchise. Credit goes to Nintendo. [Here are the timestamps] 0:00:00 - Setting up the filter & starting the game. 0:01:24 - Intro. 0:04:52 - Samus arrives at Ceres Space Colony. 0:08:18 - Samus lands on Planet Zebes. 0:09:34 - Samus heads down to old Tourian from back in the original Metroid. It was destroyed when the self-destruct mechanism was activated after Samus defeated Mother Brain. 0:10:38 - Samus heads down to the old part of Brinstar which was the starting point in the original Metroid. (The rain and thunder sound effects stop when Samus enters Brinstar) 0:10:59 - Samus obtains another Morph Ball at the same place where the first one was back in the original Metroid. After picking it up, a security sensor scans Samus. Probably alerting Space Pirate forces to her location. 0:15:58 - Morph Ball Bombs obtained. 0:20:16 - Used the bomb jumping technique to get the energy tank in the older part of Brinstar early. (Same place where another energy tank was located in the original Metroid) 0:33:19 - Charge Beam obtained. 0:35:40 - Spore Spawn boss. 0:41:18 - Spazer Beam found. 0:44:31 - High Jump Boots located. 0:49:01 - Boss called Kraid fought here. 0:52:12 - Varia Suit acquired. (Reduces damage & allows Samus to survive extreme temperatures) 1:00:33 - Getting the Wave Beam by sequence breaking with wall jumping. 1:02:23 - Speed Booster acquired. 1:05:28 - Ice Beam acquired. 1:09:38 - Power Bombs obtained. I fell down a shaft in Brinstar at 1:18:41 & a creature called a Dachora can teach the Shinespark technique. 1:22:07 - Creatures called Etecoons can teach the Walljump technique. 1:37:28 - Boss called Crocomire. 1:43:08 - Grapple Beam obtained. From 1:44:59 to 1:47:19, I stock up on the necessary amount of ammo & reduce my energy to or below 50 in order to show you the secret technique called the Crystal Flash. It replenishes all of Samus health. Here's how to perform the Crystal Flash: Select Power Bombs, Samus must have 50 or less energy. Empty reserve tanks, (special energy tanks that revive Samus when her main sources are depleted) Have atleast 10 normal missiles, 10 super missiles, & 11 power bombs (one to start the crystal flash & ten more to consume along with missiles) Samus must enter Morph Ball form & spend one power bomb. At the end of the power bomb's explosion: if the player aims up button+aim down button (default L & R)+ down fire button, Samus will initiate the Crystal Flash. I made Samus initiate the Crystal Flash at 1:47:21. I obtained the X-ray Scope at 1:52:36. Useful to search for hidden destructible blocks, passages, & items. 2:02:22 - Phantoon boss fight. (You can see Phantoon's silhouette just alittle when it's invisible by using the X-ray Scope) 2:12:30 - Ths Chozo Statue in the Wrecked Ship takes me to where the Gravity Suit is located. 2:38:50 - Botwoon boss fight. 2:47:11 - Draygon boss fight. 2:48:46 - Space Jump obtained. From 2:57:12 to 3:01:18, I take a short break. 3:07:18 - Screw Attack obtained. 3:21:14 Boss called Ridley is fought. The infant Metroid's capsule was found broken at 3:24:09. I'm about to descend into the new Tourian at 3:43:32. The infant Metroid mutated into a larger form of it's larva form! The Super Metroid at 3:51:26! Mother Brain boss battle at 3:53:20! Self-Destruct mechanism (or time bomb) activated at 4:00:28! I help the Etecoons & the Dachora escape at 4:02:52. This will effect the ending alittle as you can see something that looks like a purple dot flying away from the destroyed Zebes on the right side of the screen. It's their ship. It's canon they survive as the same Etecoons & Dachora are seen again in Metroid 4: Fusion which came out for the Game Boy Advance in the year 2002. Planet Zebes blows up at 4:03:45! End Credits at 4:04:22.
