This movie features a perfect example of what can occur when TASers will go to any extreme to sequence break a long game. Very little that is recognizable remains. Cpadolf forgoes key items, yet bothers to collect the X-Ray Scope, an item normally useless to an experienced Super Metroid player.

With the use of the X-Ray Scope to get out of the rooms' bounds and gratuitous amounts of RAM rewriting, the amount of tasks Samus usually has on Zebes has been cut to almost nothing. No boss is ever fought in this TAS, and even Mother Brain is skipped completely. The in-game completion time is 00:06, and only 6% of the items are collected, making this the lowest legitimate percent completion ever achieved.

This is an improvement of 1:58.36 () minutes real-time over the previous runs of this category.
