Metroid is a game that is very hard to play perfectly fast because the jumping is so slow.

This movie is 43.3 seconds faster than the previous version.

Selected comments from the author:
Main improvements in this version:
* Almost every room played more precisely
* The first vertical shaft is many seconds faster
* Missiles are used more aggressively early
* Vertical shaft from Hell (Kraid's Lair) improved again
* Sped up clearing the blocks in the small vertical shaft leading to Kraid's Lair
* Shortcut into Tourian is the most improved section timewise
* The 5 Zeebetites were destroyed quicker
* New strategy against Mother Brain

Most Metroid speedruns used to be about 30-40 minutes long.
