Metroid Speed Runs
Here is where you'll find the direct links to the best Metroid speedrun for each category. The movies are brilliantly hosted on
Archive.org so you should all pay this
wonderful free site a visit. Special thanks also go to both Nate of Metroid2002.com and also to
Radix of Speed Demo Archive (SDA) for converting the runs from VHS to a digital format. ALL of these movies requires the latest version
of DivX to play properly.
Any% Run - 18:35 by Blake 'Spider-Waffle' Piepho
An energetic and very talented run by new player (to the Metroid scene), Spider-Waffle. Utilising all the latest SB
and speed run tricks, this run pushes the Metroid boundary almost as far as it can possibly go. All
self-respecting Metroid fans should download and watch this run asap...

100% Run - 56:40 by Red Scarlet
A run for the true completist. While Metroid doesn't have an in-game percent counter (like every Metroid game
after Metroid 2 has), the 100% game is still considered possible as long as all of the known items are collected
and this has been verified. Red Scarlet pulls off a very impressive 100% speed run, made all the more remarkable
considering it's a single segment speed run. That's right, no saves. Just ONE run from start to finish. And
if THAT doesn't deserve some extra Kudos, then God knows what would... Well done Red Scarlet.
