Super Metroid made waves upon its release in 1994 for having a large continuous world open for nearly completely unguided exploration and a vast assortment of movement- and power-enhancing item upgrades hidden throughout.

Having transcended the need for all of that collection and exploration, Sniq ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Sniq ) and NobodyNada ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/NobodyNada ) goes out of bounds to manipulate stray RAM data and force the ending sequence directly—within just a couple minutes from landing on the planet. As a result, no items are ever collected.

The improvement over the previous run in this category comes from a more optimal ACE setup by switching to the European release. See the authors submission notes ( https://tasvideos.org/8214S ) for more information.
