I love how half of the speedrun is genuine frame perfect commands and the other half is just the guy completely annihilating the game's code and disfiguring it
@Alexander LeBlanc I don't think so. It appears it was in the room right after the Ridley boss fight. You can see the broken container in that room. But maybe Ridley just brought back the broken container to that room.
What's weird is I've never heard of terminalmontage, or seen any of his videos, but I also just got this in my feed. Probably due to the boost in views.
I wonder: If you skip the Bomb Torizo, then go back to that room after the self-destruct sequence begins, would the animals be there, or would you have to fight the B.T. (or both)?

It's fun to watch just how broken these games can get once you start using tools, like emulating it and running it at the lowest possible speed, allowing you ample time to set up everything pixel perfect
They do that for creating the speed run... then comes console verification on tasbot. Can the tas be run through a real game and console through controller inputs alone.
It's indeed not a real record, it's a TAS record! The hatches can be opened from the "wrong" side by shotting a missile at just the right position which will make it go through the gate. The save is in order to be able to go back to Green Brinstar to die in the room with the fireflies, which is needed in order to skip Mother Brain (don't really know the specifics as to how, other than it has to do with manipulating the memory that is stored in the game for the moment or something like that).
i remember playing this when i was little, and when i didnt speak english. me and my brothers would invent stories about just what the hell was happening at the beginning of the game. we used to think the baby metroid scarred samus' suit and thats why she wanted to find him, to kill him.
That feeling when the mission is to wipe out the Space Pirates and you realize their leader has a self-destruct button behind their room, which you can reach by sneaking through the walls. Complete annihilation.
I liked how the game got extra glitchy during the final escape. It made it looks like it was trying to escape from the game itself before it self-destructs.
@Blactor I need to save and make a second savefile so I can go back and die in a specific room once I reach Tourian. The reason I need to do this is that dying in that particular room creates some trash in the memory of the game which is what then generates the door I use off screen in Mother Brain's room.
Basically he screwed with his save file so that a certain spot would end the game . Which is why he save, restarted, and died. This is also done on earthbound in which you would restart at a certain point to Finish the end.
+Chris PvP Those are like a progress bar, if you defeat the bosses the lights in the eyes go out, if you go there before all the bosses are defeated then only some or none will go out and the floor doesn't sink.
I know this game very well. Have sped run it in about an hour-ish. TAS bot makes it just insane, frame perfect everything. For a human to do this is next to impossible. Still very cool to watch. Awesome!
8:50 I actually thought that Samus forgot to place a bomb there. Legit, i'm not kidding, I actually thought she forgot to place a bomb down there. Cool TAS.
Ridley: oh boi samus is on the security feed. I hope she doesnt kill me again. Samus: omae wa mu shinderu Zebes: *initiates self destruct sequence* Ridley: Nani
this run is just what happens when samus comes in to work and says, "fuck it! i'm not fighting shit, and i'm not looking foor this one tiny little metroid. i'm just gonna blow this bitch up and leave..."
It essentially scrambles the data and lets you wrong warp to a lower section on the map. The gold statue is a key/lock system of sorts. Each boss has a glowing orb. Beat the boss, orb breaks. Break all orbs, unlock final area.
It lets you skip mother brain. Without a mother brain skip the whole TAS would be impossible because you cannot best her without at least 3 health tanks, thanks to the scripted sequence.
22:08 notices that when you dont save the animals before the explosion theres a little dot going to the right side but in this cinematic doesnt appear, so i think the way they escape was because that bird who teaches samus does the super speed jump?
It stands for "Tool Assisted Run". Which means they can replay over and over until they get the gameplay perfect and fit seamlessly without dying/ messing up.
I believe there is arm pumping but due to the emulator it is dropping every other frame so you only see the aiming down. this would also explain why some shots are invisible they only display every other frame to make them flicker.
Mother Brain: What do have to report? Ridley: we have picked up on a strange temporal anomaly... and X-Ray radiation is off the charts near the elevator SELF DESTRUCT INITIATED! EVACUATE IMMEDIATLY Mother Brain: well... shit...
Basically, he's playing via emulator, using computer tools to slow the gameplay down to allow frame-by-frame play and even rewinding bad actions. Meanwhile, the emulator is recording every movement he's inputting frame-by-frame. When he beats the game, he makes the emulator replay (or re-inputted) every frame-by-frame action he inputted and recorded that for RUclips.
Galactic FEDs: “Samus, the Space Pirates have stole the baby Metroid and took it to they’re planet filled with the most unforgiving enemies and hostile creatures imaginable” Samus: “Be back in 20 minutes”
In some regards it's awesome seeing the theoretical best, the maximum possible. I also like watching regular speedrunners as well, but well, you know. =D
@Germinus Not really, that was found by someone who knows way more than me about the inner workings of the game, and I don't fully understand it myself.
So it seems the standard opening for a speedrun is to basically get the early super missiles all the time, and then optionally get the power bombs or head into kraid/norfair. Are there any runs that don't mockball to get the supers early?
I love how half of the speedrun is genuine frame perfect commands and the other half is just the guy completely annihilating the game's code and disfiguring it

@Alexander LeBlanc I don't think so. It appears it was in the room right after the Ridley boss fight. You can see the broken container in that room. But maybe Ridley just brought back the broken container to that room.
@Alexander LeBlanc Doesn't he bring it to *norfair* ?
@Alexander LeBlanc true
@Alexander LeBlanc I guess you could say it was No-fair.
This video appears in everyone's recommended now because of the terminalmontage animation
Yuperdoodle
What's weird is I've never heard of terminalmontage, or seen any of his videos, but I also just got this in my feed. Probably due to the boost in views.
Supermariojjk K what if I just like Metroid?
100% true !
I watch speedrun videos, mostly from GDQ
Came to read comments while staring at a golden statue.
Sameeeee
I can relate
Don't call me out like this LMAO
same lol, I can not understand how that bug works
Me too ahahah
BUT YOU DIDN'T SAVE THE ANIMALS!
Yes exactly!
I think what you are looking for is a longplay.
Fuck off the animals
They know how to fly spaceships. They're X parasites!
I wonder: If you skip the Bomb Torizo, then go back to that room after the self-destruct sequence begins, would the animals be there, or would you have to fight the B.T. (or both)?

I get it :)
A little bit of terminal is always good.

looking this before the Terminalmontage video is coming
Terminalmontage brought me here!
xD
Same
You are gonna want to watch a live run, he doesn't usually use TAS... exept for mario.
*The baby*
Damn, this Tas guy is really good...
Turns out that Tas is actually a girl. Crazy how many speedruns she’s done
@@Zyrdalf so basically speedrun samus but in real life
sebastiano rossl Never thought of it like that but yeah!
she actually beat every single game so far
Man, no wonder everyone's trying to get a low time, they don't want to lose from a girl.
Quick Samus go save the world! "Ok give me 12 minutes" :)
Amazing!
But the planet blew up...
Every General ever: I GIVE YOU 6!!

1.) Get in that room
2.) Weird voodoo magic
3.) Tourian!

It's fun to watch just how broken these games can get once you start using tools, like emulating it and running it at the lowest possible speed, allowing you ample time to set up everything pixel perfect
In newer games this is possible too!

12:48 but first we'll need to talk about parallel universes
It's indeed not a real record, it's a TAS record! The hatches can be opened from the "wrong" side by shotting a missile at just the right position which will make it go through the gate.

The hatches being opened from the wrong side can be done by person fun fact :y
I was wondering what that death had to do with the run. Thx
Cpadolf0
I thought it was a trick to come back with 100 life.
Thanks. I was wondering about the multiple game files...
You forgot to save the animals lol jk awesome tho…
It only took Samus exactly 20 minutes to explode an entire fucking planet. That is the definition of badassery.
i remember playing this when i was little, and when i didnt speak english. me and my brothers would invent stories about just what the hell was happening at the beginning of the game. we used to think the baby metroid scarred samus' suit and thats why she wanted to find him, to kill him.
She watched her mother get stung by a space jellyfish as a child.
Actually, I also thought her suit was damaged as a child
@@ItsMeFacu as a child i thought samus gave birth too the metroid 😐
As a child
I never played super metroid
I was born in 2006 -_-
I laughed so hard when you got the morph ball bombs. You know the statue wanted to fight you so bad, but you left before the door locked hahaha, swag
Not close enough! Lol.
beats my time by about 9 hours :D
My time is 27 hours
My times is 4 hours
My time is 2hr. 39 min
Edit: no tas btw
My time is 4 hours
Mine was about 6 hours
Terminal montage:
I’m gonna pretend I saw that.
Reddit
I'm gonna saw that.
That feeling when the mission is to wipe out the Space Pirates and you realize their leader has a self-destruct button behind their room, which you can reach by sneaking through the walls.
Complete annihilation.
I liked how the game got extra glitchy during the final escape. It made it looks like it was trying to escape from the game itself before it self-destructs.
"YOU DIDN'T SAVE THE BABY!" as all of reality is shattering around Samus
This is the best video on RUclips! Thank you for giving us such a perfect speedrun! You rock!
This is just so satisfying to watch
14:00 Ridley’s like, “WTF, ya doing?”
It's insane how well this game holds up even in 2022
I wondered how this guy was so precise. And then I saw the TAS... Cool video and great TAS programming, either way!
@Blactor I need to save and make a second savefile so I can go back and die in a specific room once I reach Tourian. The reason I need to do this is that dying in that particular room creates some trash in the memory of the game which is what then generates the door I use off screen in Mother Brain's room.
Cpadolf0
Always boggles my mind how speed runner figure this stuff out.
...how was this discovered?
Man it's so weird seeing this before moonfall was discovered
Who here wants to believe this is another alternate timeline in the TerminalMontage cinematic universe?
Here, i raise my hand.
I knew it.
P A R A L L E L U N I V E R S E S
Ur a wizard hary
Mother Brain must be so confused about the planet's self-destruct going off early.
Basically he screwed with his save file so that a certain spot would end the game . Which is why he save, restarted, and died. This is also done on earthbound in which you would restart at a certain point to Finish the end.
One of the best SNES Games, if not the best!!!
Amen brother.
This is the sillest run, even for TAS, that I have ever seen. -.- My God...
I would recommend watching a Portal tas, it's absolutely insane.
Watch celeste tas
13:00 strobe light party
Plot twist, MB saw everything so glitchy it made the entire planet to explode.
17:02 WAT.
X-Ray Door Shadowing. It's the only way to travel. Lol
That's the ol' WOOP WOOP WOOP technique.
Good ol' *X-ray Scope Memory Corruption.*
I think it's drugs and fresmonary
WITCHCRAFT
17:04 WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!?!?!
+Chris PvP Those are like a progress bar, if you defeat the bosses the lights in the eyes go out, if you go there before all the bosses are defeated then only some or none will go out and the floor doesn't sink.
Ohhhh shiiiit lil
6:50 holy shit I had no idea you could skip that mini-boss
I know this game very well. Have sped run it in about an hour-ish. TAS bot makes it just insane, frame perfect everything. For a human to do this is next to impossible. Still very cool to watch. Awesome!
Zero bosses fought besides my nigga Ridley for like 10 seconds, and the first Chozo skip. Wtf? Just insane, but again... TAS bots are just silly.
8:50 I actually thought that Samus forgot to place a bomb there. Legit, i'm not kidding, I actually thought she forgot to place a bomb down there.
Cool TAS.
Ridley: oh boi samus is on the security feed. I hope she doesnt kill me again.
Samus: omae wa mu shinderu
Zebes: *initiates self destruct sequence*
Ridley: Nani
Lol. Yeah, it's interesting to use a planet to finish off Ridley.
Me: well, that’s going to be an interesting fight with the brain.
*clips through to the escape sequence skipping the entire fight.*
Me: oh.
Welcome to speedrunning in general! It's certainly a different experience from a Let's Play or playing the game yourself IMO.
It’s a dance party at the golden four! Complete with strobes and great music
this run is just what happens when samus comes in to work and says, "fuck it! i'm not fighting shit, and i'm not looking foor this one tiny little metroid. i'm just gonna blow this bitch up and leave..."
What exactly is happening at that 12:54 sequence? There's no battle damage being inflicted or anything. Serious question.
It essentially scrambles the data and lets you wrong warp to a lower section on the map. The gold statue is a key/lock system of sorts. Each boss has a glowing orb. Beat the boss, orb breaks. Break all orbs, unlock final area.
"Wait why would you get the x-ray scope in a speedrun?"
12:48
"... oh."
"Fuck you Torizo, I'm taking it."
Didn't think it would be as satisfying and ludicrous as Terminal Montage's animation shows. This is awesome as fuck.
I'm here because of the "Something About" series
These movements are so quick I can’t tell if my frame rate is dropping or not
Great, but question:
Why the save/reset at 8:15?
I think it was done to fix a glitch..
It corrupts the memory allowing you to skip mother brain and initiate the countdown after the X-ray door climb in mother brains room
It lets you skip mother brain. Without a mother brain skip the whole TAS would be impossible because you cannot best her without at least 3 health tanks, thanks to the scripted sequence.
@Cpadolf0 Wow, thanks for the explanation.
I'm so amazed at how people figure out things like this. I enjoy your vids, keep 'em coming!
Speedruns are still as amazing ! :)
*Happy 25th Birthday Super Metroid!!!*
Im just watching this and the whole time im like "wait, thats possible?"

I have always liked your speed runs. People say they are cheating or easy but not everybody can make one. KUDOS
i remember watching this tas back in 2011 or 12 i don't remember, it's interesting how it's still kinda popular
22:08 notices that when you dont save the animals before the explosion theres a little dot going to the right side
but in this cinematic doesnt appear, so i think the way they escape was because that bird who teaches samus does the super speed jump?
Me after watching terminal Montage: just like the simulations
It stands for "Tool Assisted Run". Which means they can replay over and over until they get the gameplay perfect and fit seamlessly without dying/ messing up.
11:12
Me: How are you not dead
Samus: I have no idea
There you go, have my like!
And welcome back!
Incredible
So the TAS doesnt arm pump? And 7:57 and no mockball?
I believe there is arm pumping but due to the emulator it is dropping every other frame so you only see the aiming down. this would also explain why some shots are invisible they only display every other frame to make them flicker.
It would be better if instead of dropping every other frame it dropped 3 out of 5 frames.
i love TAS' , they just look so damn unhuman
9 years ago? Wtf...why is this in my feed now...
Welcome back Cpadolf0!
It's been a while since your last vid.
Once again awesome speed run, great job.
Now please do a realtime any%!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Who's here to see how accurate Terminal Montage was? 😂
I think it's other speedrun cause this one have different parts
You went to a TAS? TerminalMontage's was based on the human any% run strat
Geez, that was amazing. How do you figure all this stuff out?!
Tool Assisted Speedrun..
Uh, yeah I'm aware of that, but the tricks he used in the TAS were absurd, and it's amazing to me that he managed to discover them.
oh :p that was true too :P
Haha, yeah, and sorry if I came off sounding like a dick.
Lol you didn't :P
Am I the only one who knew about Terminal montage after watching this video, and not viceversa?
This comment section is the first time I’ve ever heard of terminal montage
I knew about it because my brother watched the video they're all talking about, but I watched this just because I like Super Metroid and speedruns.
absolutely incredible you left without beating the bomb boss
@xxANBUxx Not on my channel but probably on some other channel. If anything, It'll be up for download on TASvideos eventually.
@Germinus Not really, that was found by someone who knows way more than me about the inner workings of the game, and I don't fully understand it myself.
what was the quitting and going to the menu for, and what was the door glitch durign the boss fight for (12:50)
why save the game and reset at 8:10?
must be a way of glitching the game, there is no other explanation
You can see him make a copy of his save, which he later uses at 18:52, probably for a very specific memory manipulation trick or the like.
What language is this? I could've sworn it was "morph ball" when I played
The planet, no, the whole freaking game was starting to collapse at the end!
um does the 00:12 mean 12 seconds or 12 minutes or 12 ways i don't understand the title
The planet exploded because it couldn't handle Samus's amazing game breaking skills.
This guy:does super Metroid speed run
TerminalMontage:it’s free real state
12:50 WTF! Amazing TAS dude!
So it seems the standard opening for a speedrun is to basically get the early super missiles all the time, and then optionally get the power bombs or head into kraid/norfair. Are there any runs that don't mockball to get the supers early?
he glitched the heck out of it during the last Sequence, i'm not an expert on this shit but ..... RESPECT !!
