Yoyo's Metroid tips #3: This is for the experts with pixel perfect precision. I'm sure everyone has heard of bomb jumping by now. However, I recently discovered a new application for it. It's called bomb gliding. Again, this is very difficult to pull off especially because you need a flat ceiling to do it. Alright, here's what you do. 1. Start bomb jumping in a room with a flat ceiling. 2. When you reach the ceiling lightly tap in the direction you wish to go. (It needs to be really light so that it is slightly off center but still close enough that it pushes you up to the side.) 3. After the bomb knocks you to the side *IMMEDIATELY* begin tapping the bomb button like crazy while holding the directional pad in the direction you want to go. This method is situational unlike bomb jumping but it can help you get past some areas that are normally impossible without the space jump. If you have pixel perfect precision then it works every time.
This must be the best youtube video I've seen in a while. It has that 2000s "let's play"s vibe to it - modest on-screen commentary, a game popular in the 2000s, no voiceover, just plain fun.
Aw man. I just woke up from a coma and this is the first youtube video I've seen since. I thought it was a matter of just a few days but thanks to your comment, I am just now realizing I've been out for over 20 years. Thanks. -_- God damnit, I hope someone's been feeding my cat.
15:17 That’s because Samus obtains the Fully Powered Suit at the end of Zero Mission. And it’s able to form extra armor with the Varia Suit upgrade active, so that’s why the rounded shoulders appear in-universe and how Samus has them in Prime.
I've never watched a playthrough video with text instead of voiceover... but considering how much I cant atand voice over... this was a welcome change. Also, I wasnt planning on actually staying for the whole video, usually I just skip around to check out the game, but here I am, 20 minutes in. Great upload!
42:54 It was a technical reason. Speed runners found a way to enable both in Super Metroid and when you do, it causes some very weird issues and glitches. It is used to do things like reset the save file but keep all your collected items. Firing it can also crashes the game at times. Someone back in NintendoLand did some janky coding for the weapon and layering the two really creates some overflow chaos.
Loved the video! It’s nice to see the game in a different format like this. My only problem was the on screen text. It was a bit cringe and hard to get through at times- lol
This video felt so soo much like classic old RUclips with just text and gameplay, it was really amazing to see this, also your commentary through the whole thing was hilarious, this was such a piece of gold to watch
New version was released with crocomire fixed to be like SM one, and some rooms fixed. A new hack by the brothers crafters is coming and it's completely new. and omg it's HUGE. I beta tested it all the way through and it's gigantic and awesome
Yoyo's Metroid tips #1: Btw, did you know that those tin can enemies that just walk CAN be knocked into pits. Just step back and shoot them with a beam to get them to walk towards you. Then while they are walking towards you shoot them with missiles. Works every time.
Make videos like these about Top Metroid romhacks. I'm sure it will boon. Some romhacks I recommend are Ascent, Subversion, Super Junkoid, Scrolls 6, Spooky Mission 2.
Thanks for the advice, but I make what I want to make. I might check those out eventually but I'm not just going to follow what gets me the most views.
It shows how great Zero Mission could be with those graphics and controls response + Super Metroid level of game design. Beautiful, fun, not frustrating, long, challenging, truly one of the best metroidvanias we didn't see happen.
Parts of this were definitely a little frustrating. It wasn't long by any means; this nearly 100% blind playthrough was only 3 hours. And aside from jank, nothing was challenging; all of the bosses were jokes, including Mother Brain. :P
@@Monody512 the SNES Zero Mission hack reskinned Draygon as Mecha Ridley, so they could reskin the latter as Mother Brain... I think it'd be easier since it's mostly static.
I haven't enjoy a let's-play vid in many years. This brought me genuine joy. And I really loved seeing the glass tube from Fusion's sector 4 AQA imported into this. Thank you for making this so fun to watch!
The missed opportunity after killing mother brain to then have Mecha Ridley come crawling in ominously from the left as the second phase is would have been cool. What a shame.
Try the Revamp. Its superior in every way. It has the resized tilesets from Smet, the music, and the sound effects. I like it aaaaaaa lot. This is Smet with all Zero resources. The upbeat music and cartoonish sprites take away from that Aliens feeling that Smet had intrinisic to it. Also try Crocomire Last stand that one is amazing.
I recently beat this, and barring some (understandable) limitations. I think it was well executed. There's lag in some rooms due to sprite overload, but it was never a hindrance. I found a bug(?) in the glass pipe room where you activate the Power Bomb to enter Maridia. If you enter the room from the left side while somersaulting into it, you will grab the glass section up on top and can climb outside before getting Power Bombs. I didn't have that instant death thing happen to me vs Crocomire, probably because I just unloaded my arsenal on it immediately. The fact that they got the animals in this, even if they're just static sprites is a nice touch. It's the thought that counts.
If I were them, I would grap a bunch of parts of the deceased bosses (Kraid, Ridley, Crocomire) and used their assets to make the Stage 2 Mother Brain... and some attacks would've been from those battles too... such as Kraids scratches and Ridley Jumps... I think it would've been an amazing surprise!
I think someone skilled enough could make the Ceres spacestation sequence in this by using the later Space pirate base events and modding it to look and act as Ceres with Ridley as a boss (or cutscene)replacing mecha Ridley and the escape sequence before the main game.
Lol i was confused watching this XD I was like "wait! you going places faster then i think you should, are you speed running? Then i saw the description XD
Let this sink in Not a single wird was said throughout thus video and i laughed more than i have in a long ass time Good job on this video Brotha/Sister
Same here, i found those old 80s tv rainbow screen and the beeps extremely funny, when he got stuck somewhere... i was gonna blast him over a lot of things he forgot about sm3, but ill let it be, it was a fun ride ^o^"... oh wait XD...
Yes, same-wall wall jumps are in vanilla Zero Mission. It’s one of the reasons that game has some of the best movement controls/physics in a Metroid game.
@@enigma0z Loved Zero Mission. Haven't really enjoyed a Metroid game since. Samus Returns and especially Dread seemed so bland and underwhelming in comparison
@@carn9507 that’s fair - dread seemed a bit linear to me but I still found it quite fun. ZM’s style and physics are still better than Dread / Returns remake for sure
I really just sat here and watched this ENTIRE VIDEO uninterrupted. That should tell you everything. Good job - just the right amount of commentary =).
Always love when games are remade in a sequel/prequels engine. The vertical doors are painful, and other miscellaneous stuff, but it is a wonderful effort!
It almost kinda gives off the vibe of playing both Zero Mission and revisiting it immediately after you blow up the Alien Ship.
The struggle to un-gray the map in Kraid's room is depressingly relatable.
There’s still that one fucking spot in Metroid dread I can’t get to…
i read un-gay 💀
@@reouneru_ I never thought I would ever read "Un-gay" before on the internet, and I'm so glad I did.💀

It’s basically Super Metroid, but in the style of Zero Mission.
Love it
I loved the comentary, I dunno why but you just sound really cute and funny man. loved it
This is a seriously next level video.
Speed Booster room is definitely superheated in Super Metroid. The effect is most noticeable when playing Super Metroid Arcade.
Definitely reminds me of old let’s play videos with the text on screen and mid 2000s to early 2010s “quirky” writing style. Good video
i have no idea why this popped in my reccomended, but i enjoyed watching you explore this hack

Space Time Beam
@@aa3988 samus casually ripping through the fabric of space and time
That sounds like fiction. Combining 2 broken weapons make the most powerful and dangerous weapon ever!
My favorite beams were in Metroid Fusion. The Plasma beam looked really cool in that. I wonder how the beams would look like without the ice add-on?
Also the bosses are janky
I love how we now have the GBA sprites on all 4 mainline 2D Metroid games! :D
This is such a fun overview of this hack, lol.
"WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME"
this is if videogamedunkey has a brother that's shy
Good old subtitles. Really well made video!
Samus not even being inside ship during the escape and just supermaning into the sky has me 💀💀💀
Loved the video! It’s nice to see the game in a different format like this. My only problem was the on screen text. It was a bit cringe and hard to get through at times- lol
Is there a specific problem with the text that I could try to fix in future videos?
I don't accept "cringe" as a valid complaint. :)
@@Monody512 It's the comment section, so I stated a comment I had. Is that okay?? lol
@@ElmaXC Of course. Just prompting you to give _useful_ feedback.
I can't do anything with "It's a bit cringe".

I wholeheartedly agree!
We miss that
this feels like a video from 2008 but in hd quality
Watching this video felt like comming back to the early 2010s
Kinda nice honestly, text instead of spoken commentary is sometimes more pleasant
@@UNSCPILOT yea
"Hah! I guess these can only face right."
Kraid's Hideout
The one in Kraid's Lair faces right just like all the others.
The tireless quest to find the X-Ray scope..
Love this playthrough, thanks for posting it!
The text on the screen takes me back when let's plays were starting out. Ahhh the memories.
"Where are you taking me?!" That was too funny.
New version was released with crocomire fixed to be like SM one, and some rooms fixed. A new hack by the brothers crafters is coming and it's completely new. and omg it's HUGE. I beta tested it all the way through and it's gigantic and awesome
This is one of the best videos of its kind
"this video is too long I'm just gonna see what this looks like" me 55 minutes and 12 seconds ago
Did not think I was gonna stay for the full 55 min but after the first 5 min I was damn curious to see what stayed and what changed. Nice vid
Watching that first space pirate kill you was like, damn, they got hands
i love the commentary you put into the videos, found this via the algorithm
Yeah this is the second time The Algorithm™ has picked up this video. I noticed the sudden surge in new comments in the last couple days. :P

@@Monody512 glad to help. Also, there's a Zero Mission version on Super Metroid SNES. It's dope.
I so want an official Super Metroid remake in the GBA style. I understand that it doesn’t really need to be remade, but it would still be awesome.
It would be easier to use super metroid instead
38:24 I see what you did there... Smooth edit
There are a bunch of those hidden throughout the video. :)
Awesome, enjoyed this. Will deffo play it
I want it to be known that I verbally uttered "Skill Issue" for every single missed missile from 18:18 to 18:36.

4:39 Bro made the whole squad laughing.
The part where two of Samus take off after her ship was hilarious
That "vertical" hatch at 13:42 hurt me in ways I cannot describe.
Mecha Ridley would have been a great choice for the second phase Mother Brain fight...
This. I’m wondering why they haven’t implemented it yet
True. I still think it would've been a better fit as the Golden Torizo though, since that _is_ in Ridley's Lair.
@@Monody512 the SNES Zero Mission hack reskinned Draygon as Mecha Ridley, so they could reskin the latter as Mother Brain... I think it'd be easier since it's mostly static.
Should've been Jankomire, err I mean Crocomire.

Thanks!
I love the way you say *snerk* makes me laugh every time
I like the way you make this funny.
The pirates only appear in the Space Pirates' Mother Ship, where you are supossed to have Varia Suit and more than 9 Energy capsules
This was a really fun watch, thanks for making this! Thanks for all the editing to tighten up the runtime, that plus the fun commentary added a lot.
I agree with everything you said here!
One of my favorite rom hacks
I really enjoyed the video the the text while you played really funny
I love the comments you make because I’m legit making the same ones from time to time lmao
The missed opportunity after killing mother brain to then have Mecha Ridley come crawling in ominously from the left as the second phase is would have been cool. What a shame.
10:15 "Yeah that's True! ZM actually doesn't have those one-way gates! Fusion does..." SHENANIGANS!
Metroid zero mission is by far one of my favorite games, its also my first ever metroid playthrough.
man,i like your personality

Wow this absolute CHAD managed to edit this in whilst playing the game at the same time
Damn this video is good for hungover lmao, perfect job!
Ngl, a Dread hack with Super Metroid sounds like an interesting idea.
This is amazing

that pirate damage made me go "OOOOOOOOOH FUCK"
EDIT: splazma beam isn't real, it can't hurt you
splazma beam:
This is one of the long videos that i'm not tired of watching 'em again
I know I'm 2 years late, but perhaps the increased speed is because there's no run button on ZM
This was so damn funny oml the one guy come back with no arms and head and then beating tf outta you, like wtfff 🤣🤣
I think someone skilled enough could make the Ceres spacestation sequence in this by using the later Space pirate base events and modding it to look and act as Ceres with Ridley as a boss (or cutscene)replacing mecha Ridley and the escape sequence before the main game.

The wall jump in zero mission are like in super so that’s why you can sequence break.
Time to have an all nighter with the og
N maybe check this version out sometime.
the spotlight part in ZM is with the Zero Suit after the pirates crashland you
6:54 Already answered the question myself. :P
Yo this was pretty damn fascinating! They basically made it work with the tools they were given and it looked like a fairly fun play through!
Imagine being a copy of Metroid: Zero Mission, and then all of a sudden you're a copy of Super Metroid.
excellent editing man, needs more attention
This was pretty neat. I like your onscreen input as well. You should make more longplays
Already a planned format in the long term. Got a lot of old stuff to get through before clip density gets high enough for it though. :)
