Glitchless speedruns are the real speedrun

that sound byte when you gather an artifact...man, the memories it brings me back to

Such an awesome category, I think it’s more entertaining than any%

this movement is oddly satisfying to watch even when there are no dashes or anything like that.

Man, the floor damage noise really assaults the ears in this game

Okay obtaining the power bomb early and the artifact in Phendranas edge was amazing!👏 the space jumping you pulled off to climb that high so fast is crazy! 47 mins

Gorgeous run. Much more interesting than any %.

What I really like about this run is the errors and how Justin has to try certain things multiple times. It reminds me that there's a human behind the controller who's insanely good at the game but is still capable of messing one or two things up. I don't feel like I'm watching a bot play. And it's still an incredible run that most will never come close to beating.

Great run. Playing through MP now and trying some speedrun tricks. I pulled off Space Jump early, and using this video as reference for Ice and Plasma Beams early

Samus at the end “Thank-a-you for wrecking ma game!”

posting a comment before this dank af speedrun inevitably gets more views than your real ones

I really love this

Okay i guess the Cutscene after Metroid Prime is defeated was only made in one way. For example when Samus first encounters the Plated beetle mini boss for the Morph Ball, if the player were to kill the beetles and not pick up small energy and/or missiles dropped by the dead beetles before the Plated beetle surfaces out of the sandy ground, you will see the small energy and/or missiles during the introduction of the Plated beetle cutscene. You made short work of Flaggara (the Morph ball bomb outside of the drainage channels normally guarded by its tentacles was really awesome, again, didnt know that was possible) Thardus, Omega Pirate, Meta Ridley and both Metroid boss fights. Sorry, huge run on sentence there. This was the fastest no out of bounds, no glitch speedrun ive ever seen of Metroid Prime. I thought you would grab way more missiles and energy tanks during your run. Lots of opportunities to use a save station to refill your energy when it was low but you didnt need them. I also thought you would get the weapon attachments (wave buster, ice spreader and the flame thrower). Not going for the gravity suit and jumping the gate was awesome. That saved you a lot of time! I thought you would definitely get the grapple beam but looks like you didnt need that either. You did a great speedrun! Now. Do it again and grab everything. 100% logbook scans just skip the artifact temple clues, you dont need those, and 100% pick ups! If you decide to take on this challenge please let me know, ill watch that speed run if you do. Impressive speedrun of Metroid Prime! 👏👏👏

oddly enough 37:06 taught me water ghetto jumping. thanks!

i liked so much , avarge time for me is 8 hours. Well done.

strange that things like L dashing are banned since it's not a glitch. It's an intended mechanic of the game, but things like R jumping and ghetto jumping are allowed, despite CLEARLY being unintended mechanics. Weird.

This is my friend justin and he's cracked metroid prime, my guy

Currently playing the prime trilogy on PC in preperation for MP4B

Very impressive run, ! Don't understand how you beat the omega boss, i spent so many time fighting him

Is there a category like this, but just no OOB movement? Where you’d be able to scan dash?

Bomb jumping to the space jump? Is the scan dash trick against rules? I don't think it's a glitch. Good run!

I would love to see a "developer intended route" speedrun from you. For example, while it is trivial to pick up Ice Beam by walking up the spider-rail, it's pretty safe to say Retro intended the player to defeat Thardus first. I realize it's somewhat subjective what "developer intended" is (although it's pretty easy to interpret seeing the changes in future versions of the game), thus it wouldn't be a serious category. Nevertheless, it might help new players who aren't confident dip their toes into speedrunning the game. It also could be interesting to players who only have access to the PAL/Wii copy of the game, in which a lot of these trivial tricks were (unfortunately) patched out. Once new players feel more confident, they could start to incorporate your techniques from your any% guide. Heck, I wouldn't even be opposed to tricks to speed up certain rooms in said route, such as Scan Dashes, so long as they're not abused to "skip" content. Bonus points for also taking on non-mandatory bosses like the Hive Mecha, even if it is trivial to skip.

Does the ship & bomb jump work in the remastered version?

Is that, Plasma Beam against Thardus? I've seen it all.

I paused at 1:38:30 I wanted to see if Samus is wearing the Varia suit or the Gravity suit after Metroid Prime pulls the Phazon suit off of Samus.

How the hell did you space jump in the water to get the artifact of live giver without the gravity suit? 37 mins. I understand that you are doing some very well timed jumps to land on tiny ledges and imperfections on some walls in some rooms. Very impressive. I just dont get how you got the tower of light artifact without the gravity suit.

"glitchless" and skips the first boss fight.

Since when skipping bosses isn't glitching?

why is hard mode so uncommon in speedruns?

Yeah, right, "glitchless". Liar. Play without exploits.
