Metroid completed as fast as possible without holding back, and without concern for the game's sanity.

The8bitbeast ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/T... ) improves the previous publication ( https://tasvideos.org/1144M ) by 21.94 seconds, thanks to better optimisation and new tricks. Please read the author's comments ( https://tasvideos.org/5858S ) for more details.

The run uses a game restart sequence (Up+A on the second controller) to save time in backtracking.
