Probably my longest Youtube video. I severely underestimated how long this was going to take and was trying to keep it at 30 - 40 minutes but I didn't expect it was going to be that long. Oh well...

Basically going up and down in this one. Get a powerup from Norfair, get a powerup from Brinstar, and get a powerup from Norfair. Don't get seasick. The hardest part of this run was trying to get that Energy Tank straight after collecting the Grappling Beam mainly because of too many blind spots to jump too... There were a few stupid mistakes I did in this run but it could have been a lot worse...

MAJOR POWERUPS:
15:14 Grappling Beam - After going through some tunnel mazes, this electrifying reward is yours.
41:56 - 42:41 Hi Jump Boots (and Spring Ball) - Back in the green room with a chozo statue that was holding a missile tank earlier, there is a hidden underground area leading to the powerup. When you enter the room with grappling points and water around, use the Grappling Beam to make your way up to collect it.
48:10 - 49:50 Speed Booster - Make your way through the Grapple gap and follow all the way down to the powerup. Plan ahead and make your way out as fast as possible after collecting it.

Missile Tanks:
1:31 Another awesome classic design from NES Metroid. Tank is sitting there after climbing up from the save room to this room. Nothing to the right afterwards.
12:01 Destroy the power bomb blocks quick and take cover, the boulder will come down breaking the wall on the left.
25:47 Out in the open, nothing special.
33:19 At the hatch there are some super missile blocks to shoot up to. Blast away and make your way through the ceiling to get it.
38:40 Power Bomb through the wall and start shooting missiles to take out that giant hopper quickly to get it.
43:47 - 44:17 There is a hidden tunnel to the right that leads to a new area. Make your way up and shoot the right wall to reveal it.
45:30 Missile tank in the lava lake. Get it now instead of waiting for the Gravity Suit.

Energy Tanks:
8:39 Sitting here after blowing away the red hatch.
16:17 This part got me to rerecord like 7 times because of those stupid blind spots... There are some hidden red grapple points you can grapple across but beware because you might not see whats next and might fall into a lava pit...so this mostly requires on memorization. The tank is yours at the end.
26:21 - 26:57 Put your Grappling Beam into action and swing forward!
39:06 - 40:41 Much easier than the original version but more impatient. That first fish heads all the way to the right really slow then turns around at the end that's why I sped it up. Freeze the fishes as platforms and climb your way up to the tank.

Power Bomb Tanks:
29:36 Blow away those power bomb blocks and get the tank before the lava kills you!
34:03 Power Bomb through that blockade to snatch it.

No Super Missiles in this one.
