Super Metroid Glitches – Disable the Escape Timer
In this video, I demonstrate a few methods to disable the 3-minute Zebes escape timer in Super Metroid. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that all of these methods require utilizing glitches. :)
All credit goes to the fantastic speedrunner Susreime (or “Roland” on YouTube) for discovering that killing Draygon disables the escape timer (August 2021). *Please* check out his video – it’s awesome. :) Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt0Ty4bS17A.
Also, I want to give a huge shout-out to Kejardon, who has contributed so much to the Super Metroid community. Without his documentation that he was kind enough to make public (specifically, in this case, his RAM map), I wouldn’t have been able to figure all this out. Thank you! :)
Finally, here’s the link to my previous video about exploring Zebes with Hyper Beam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ianlHb4kmtc.
Thanks for watching, everyone! Cheers. :)
