Yep. Spent a little over an hour doing successful bomb jump space jumps trying to get the right height. Got most of the timing/inputs right, but didn't instant unmorph at the peak :
Yeah. The moment I first watched people trying to bomb jump, I just thought the developers had busted it up, almost to the point that you weren't supposed to use bombs to get anywhere. At the very least, incredibly unintuitive. Seems almost random if you'll boost off it or not. I'd lose my cool to that. Makes the original feel flawless.
Yeah they definitely didn’t want you to get space jump early. It still works I guess, albeit not well. A lot of the old glitches added new depth and gameplay mechanics for experienced players, which was a good thing imo. Although speedrunners are some of the most devoted fans of the game, they’re still in the minority when it comes to these kinds of things, sadly. The older games like super metroid did a good job of incorporating mechanics sometimes intentionally or in Prime 1’s case unintentionally into the game. Even the scan dashing and movement in Prime 2 felt like a really good in between compared to Prime 3 or trilogy or this
If you read the scan logs, they actually do have a purpose. The Chozo on Tallon IV had some sort of ability to glimpse the future and they knew they couldn't stop the Phazon, but they foresaw Samus's arrival, so they left their weapons for her, but hid them inside the gadgets so they wouldn't be stolen.
@blurredlines stuff like the moving statues, morph ball bomb machines, shit like that lol. Like, don't get pedantic, I just mean the set up contraptions to hide their weapons for Samus to later find.
@@yobro6053 It has, but it has a new control scheme for people that might put off by the original control scheme, basically allowing the second analog stick to aim the arm cannon. Since the original was in the Gamecube and that had no second analog stick, most of the aiming was done with the manual lock-on.
@@okagron it actually did have a second analog stick but they made it so that was used to switch weapons. Only downside about the new controls is it takes two hands (or some skilled reaching) to switch weapons now
1:31:13 has a funny occurrence where the stalactite hanging from the ceiling gets shot down and lands right now the flying space pirate, dragging him to underneath the water and then possibly out of bounds
Chozo: The Hatchling will save this planet, she is the chosen one. Samus: *absolutely RIPPING through the planet with the Boost Ball like an absolute madlad*
Impressive speedrun. I'm going to use it as a guide so I can get all the items. I've only just got the ice beam but the timestamps below are what I've missed so far (will edit accordingly): 1:41:31 (root cave) 1:53:48 (dynamo) 1:54:08 (watery hall) And that's it.
This was an insane speed run! There were paths that I didn’t know you could get easily passed by, now we just gotta wait and see if they’ll remaster Metroid Prime 2 and we could see you speed run that!
yeah bro like a week or so ago ? They just kinda dropped it out of nowhere, no announcement, nothing. "here you go, MP remastered" Love this game, been waiting for YEARS.
Just when you think that they couldn't go nuts on a remastered version due to all the fixes from the original they put in, people go nuts on it trying to break the game and be awesome. I'm here for it.
You definitely are way faster than I will ever be, but in the boostball room you can jump to the left and then jump through the platforms without scanning and having that cutscene. The platforms don’t disappear then and you can use them to get out. Amazing run!
Good lord that thermal visor is awful. I really hope they patch it. Who thought this eye-watering blurry shit was a good idea? Great run as always Justin.
That space jump early looks like pain. I remember attemping in in the Wii version and it was so difficult I gave up. Managed to do the SJ early from the ship in the Gamecube version though :D
Didn't use springball ONCE in my playthrough. I'd sacrifice my left eyeball to get scandashing back though... actually, fixing the combat dash in general, seems kinda buggy at the moment.
Actually, my sentiments exactly. I had zero interest in investing in a Switch, but with this game, I may. And if Echoes gets a remaster, then very possibly. It seems though that the controls are off and difficult to get used to, despite a few advantages (moving while aiming, and the addition of springball). It also sucks that they removed scan dashing and even combat dashing seems limited. And what happened to the aether? I'm curious if the speedrunning elite can find out ways to severly break this game too, like it happened when Zelda Wind Waker got its remaster, and when item sliding was discovered.
@@TheStunningParallel I’m speechless, you’ve said everything I would’ve! I hope they can make an update where you can use GC controllers because looking at the controls, it really bites
Respect at 20:25 that you didnt just cut the video and showed when you made it... Good thing to know that its actually hard! Nice trick! :) Its when he gets Space Jump Earlier then you should!
Amazing run!! Btw, small tip. At 22:38 I see you struggling with the morph ball bomb jumps. It's unnecesary to use the first bomb and time the explosion for the second higher bomb. Simply press "Y" or jump button and use the top bomb and jump again. It's easier to control the timing! But overall you're a badass in that game.
Very solid run. Its a shame so many glitches were removed since Remastered is based on the EU version of the game, otherwise you could've easily shaved this down to 1:40
I wish the remaster cut down the time on transitioning from morph ball back into humanoid form. Those few seconds can be critical when you’re really trying to push ahead.
wow, didnt know they made a remaster of this game. cant wait to see if KB&M controls get implemented into switch emulators, if they arent already. it was fun playing the original on Dolphin but i wouldnt turn down the chance to play it again, but a prettier version
I think it's out. I unlocked every new extra. I'm hoping it's either really hidden or we'll get an update with the Dread suit instead. I want the Dread suit, love Fusions but.
What makes backtracking for Space Jump before Flaagra faster than doing Flaagra normally, then backtracking for Space Jump before heading to Magmoor via Tallon Overworld? I was thinking about this yesterday and felt like the time saved on Flaagra was not worth the time lost on returning to Chozo Ruins then taking the longer path through magmoor.
I was thinking, and I feel like if its cleaned up a bit it might be a bit quicker, but it also does line up a few quick side item grabs too. Since this is a 100% run you'd have to pass through those paths eventually anyway.
1:31:13
Bruh, that Flying Pirate did not deserve to go out like that LMAO.
That was some Mortal Kombat shit
they do 😂
I was literally about to comment that, poor space pirate.
Damn that was brutal
Lmao
Early space jump without scan dashing is a killer

@@trashlambo curious what you do to make her slide up the wall toward the top ?
@@wrosebrock just hold forward slightly
Maybe if the Chozo hadn't put all their weapons inside these weird gadgets that serve no real purpose they wouldn't have gone extinct.

@@xxProjectJxx what do you mean by gadgets?
@@blurredlines2287idk I think they mean the powerups themselves were hidden intentionally well for Samus
Still don’t understand what you mean by gadgets.

When he says he’s home alone but you gotta explore a foreign planet first
To find the password for the entrance to his home.
My man you are nuts. I did a 100% run that was 5 hours and it felt pretty fast to me. Absolute legend
Dude same
15 hours here
5 hours is still pretty nutty
It is a nice video, but it was done on "Casual" difficulty..
I got around 6 on hard hundo.
47:49 this whole bit with the morph ball right into the perfect transition into the pre boss cutscene was slick
This remaster really looks amazing
has it aged well? Never played it before, but i like the idea of an adventure sci fi fps similar to halo but not halo.
@@yobro6053 It has, but it has a new control scheme for people that might put off by the original control scheme, basically allowing the second analog stick to aim the arm cannon.

@@okagron those controls can be selected in the menu. you get 4 different control schemes to choose from
1:31:14 that space pirate didn't see it coming. Dope speedrun, you taught me a few new tricks. GG!

Chozo: The Hatchling will save this planet, she is the chosen one.
Samus: *absolutely RIPPING through the planet with the Boost Ball like an absolute madlad*
Man, your zoomies thru each zone was astounding, especially the tunnel sections. I couldn’t even keep up with how fast Samus was going! 😅
Impressive speedrun. I'm going to use it as a guide so I can get all the items. I've only just got the ice beam but the timestamps below are what I've missed so far (will edit accordingly):

Good lord in 7 hours in & just got the ice cannon BEST GAME ON SWITCH IN YEARS !!
Completely!
This was an insane speed run! There were paths that I didn’t know you could get easily passed by, now we just gotta wait and see if they’ll remaster Metroid Prime 2 and we could see you speed run that!
I can't imagine they won't. Echoes is my favorite one tbh

Great start for the HD 100% speedruns. Im actually going to try and learn how to speedrun this game.

BRO I DID NOT KNOW THEY REMASTERED THIS GAME I WAS JUST FEELING NOSTALGIA
yeah bro like a week or so ago ?
They just kinda dropped it out of nowhere, no announcement, nothing.
"here you go, MP remastered"
Love this game, been waiting for YEARS.
@@lawlestestthe game was announced on the latest direct, but it was:
Metroid Prime is Remastered!
You can play it today after the presentation!
Can't wait for them to just drop Prime 2 Remastered completely unannounced uwu
Wow nice run, definitely interesting to watch
Just when you think that they couldn't go nuts on a remastered version due to all the fixes from the original they put in, people go nuts on it trying to break the game and be awesome. I'm here for it.
Immediately liked just because the menu music gives me hella nostalgia

This is beyond amazing I never would thought this game would come to the switch I like metroid And if I got this game it will be my 2nd metroid game
Personally, Metroid is my favorite series. Samus is so badass like Doom Guy
That was crazy fast! Being an amatur speedrunner myself, seeing the best of the best is incredible.
2hrs gameplay, 22mins of cutscenes. Solid play. Like a pinball wizard with the boosts. (What lava?)
This legit just looks like a NEW game, this is how you remaster!
Good lord that thermal visor is awful. I really hope they patch it. Who thought this eye-watering blurry shit was a good idea? Great run as always Justin.
this is the best-looking game I've seen on Switch
I was about to comment "That was fast" but then i remembered what i was watching
Yo this is insane wtf

can confirm, the bsj trick is hella difficult, i just tried to do it and i couldn't do it after an hour of trying
@@archonsam8727 yeah it took me several hours and I think I never want to do it again lol
omg the early space jump omg XD you fiend!
me gusta ver videos así, aprovechando lo que el juego da sin tener que romperlo, gracias por el excelente video.
This is insane i especially like that maze skip in magmore caverns for the plasma beam
through fire, lava, or water, samus' engine never tires
Absolutely crazy :D
i thought that said 2 minutes, i may be stupid
And thus, Dark Samus was born
While I hate not having scandashing, I'll admit springball is really nice. Being able to platform in morphball is fun.
Didn't use springball ONCE in my playthrough. I'd sacrifice my left eyeball to get scandashing back though... actually, fixing the combat dash in general, seems kinda buggy at the moment.
@@pneumaticslap3344 I just finished my first hard mode playthrough and didn't even realize there was springball lmao
@@pneumaticslap3344 there's now a mod that adds scan dash

i love how flaahgra is just visibly confused
You make it look so easy!

Just emulate it, play it in 4k as a bonus.
buy the physical copy for your collection.
@@IMALoserAllDay you can choose to play it like it was in the GC or Wii era, or even hybrid, the game has quite a lot of control options
Metroid Dread is another reason
6:50 you can skip this cutscene now btw
I can hear the echos, 'Now's my time'
Amazing, im assuming everything was scanned too, i cant conceive it
Space jump boots (early skip) at 23:10
20:24 this looks painful
This is how I imagine Samus would go through all her missions lol
1:25:44 love how the added rock from the Wii version messed you up as that wasn't in the original version
You tryna get the space boots was funny as hell, you could of shaved off 20 min lmfao Good job man! Wow!
ok So the bomb jump part to get space jump is stupid hard indeed cause i thought i was going crazy
Nice run
The opening song is a banger
Dude the game just came and already speed run 😆
GGs 👏🏽 Great run
Yo, you could shave off about ten seconds if you use a power bomb on the Omega Pirate to drop all his armor.
Bro classic beauty right here Omg
The doors open so fast now *surprised pikachu face
THE SAME MUSIC GLITCH HAPPENS WITH THE BEETLES?!?!
The weird Flaaghra animations happen too, WTF, how accurate is this freaking remake?? LOL
Respect at 20:25 that you didnt just cut the video and showed when you made it... Good thing to know that its actually hard! Nice trick! :) Its when he gets Space Jump Earlier then you should!
I cant do that bloody early boot skip
*Starts on Casual, Me *Ends video
Most of this game: BALL
Why did I never notice the flying space pirates when the ship exploded XD lmao

Simply press "Y" or jump button and use the top bomb and jump again. It's easier to control the timing! But overall you're a badass in that game.

Very solid run. Its a shame so many glitches were removed since Remastered is based on the EU version of the game, otherwise you could've easily shaved this down to 1:40
im glad the devs responsible for the remaster didn't fix the glitches that are for speedrunning the game.
you can insta break omega pirate's armor with a powerbomb
Great run, Are you using gyro aiming?, I’m guessing yes because is faster and more precise than the default input method but idk :P
Meanwhile getting lost for about 10 hours worth of playtime looking for upgrades or where to go
thats the correct way to play
DAMN YOU MAKE THIS LOOK VERY EASY
I hate it when I think I'm good at a game and then some ass hat come along and shows me that I'm shit. Good run.
Wow! I'm doing the tabarnak dance as I type.
I wish the remaster cut down the time on transitioning from morph ball back into humanoid form. Those few seconds can be critical when you’re really trying to push ahead.
And this is the reason why there youtuber out there beating the game in 1 day to show the ending.
Crack!
Ridley fight does using the ice beam get you stun faster compared to using the others. Understood why you used the beams you did except ice
Wait, flaghara has it's full theme? That's dope, lol
@21:30 lol I feel your pain
So thats her remastered Samus_Aran face at the end huh? Epic
Sick broski
wow, didnt know they made a remaster of this game. cant wait to see if KB&M controls get implemented into switch emulators, if they arent already. it was fun playing the original on Dolphin but i wouldnt turn down the chance to play it again, but a prettier version
What do you think is the most difficult trick to pull off in this run? Thanks!
@1:29:20 b r u h, this spider maze skip to plasma beam door is so clean. how dare you
i preorders day it was announced
You think the Chozo anticipated the chosen one would save the planet in 2 hours?
I thought 2:22 was minutes and seconds lol
Man I missed this game
So I’m curious, did they keep the ability to do a fusion suit playthrough in the game just. Change the requirements to unlock or is out out entirely?
I think it's out. I unlocked every new extra. I'm hoping it's either really hidden or we'll get an update with the Dread suit instead. I want the Dread suit, love Fusions but.
It's gone.
nice.
21:00 i felt this
42:15
