[TAS] NES Metroid by Lord Tom in 08:19.32
This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see http://tasvideos.org/1144M.html. TAS originally published on 2008-07-20.
Metroid completed as fast as possible without holding back, and without concern for the game's sanity.
A wealth of new tricks contribute to this 33 second improvement over the previous movie (http://tasvideos.org/844M.html).
The run uses a game restart sequence (Up+A on the second controller) to save time in backtracking.
See Metroid Tricks (http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/Metroid.html) for more information about the door glitch as well as other tips and tricks.
Andy Dick has made a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CoQ-wXR_iw) which plays this run on top of the game map. This provides a unique perspective on the door warping glitches.
