Hello, and welcome to: "SPEED BOOSTER ACTIVATED! Let’s Speedrun the 2D Metroid Games!"  THE METROID SERIES The Metroid series of games focuses on running, jumping, and shooting your way through caverns and spaceships while finding items that help you open up new areas later on. You play as Samus Aran, a “Bounty Hunter” tasked to defeat the Space Pirates that plan to clone the deadly vampiric jellyfish-like Metroids and unleash them across the galaxy! The series, while not super-critically-acclaimed, is well-loved by its fans and not only has it spawned its own gameplay style (affectionately called MetroidVania, borrowing from the similar Castlevania series’ gameplay), but it has become the roots for the biannual Games Done Quick marathons, with speedrunning (playing through a game as fast as possible) owing itself to the third game in the series, Super Metroid. There are eleven games in the series, and we will be playing through roughly half of them in chronological order, unrelated to the order of release: Metroid: Zero Mission 100% Hard Mode (2004) AM2R 100% Hard Mode (2016, fangame) Super Metroid 100% (1994) Metroid: Other M 100% No cutscene skips (2010) Metroid: Fusion 1% (2002) INCENTIVE-BASED BONUS: Metroid NES Any% (1986, Metroid: Zero Mission Unlock Version) Metroid: mOTHER Any% (Metroid NES Romhack) Metroid 2: Return of Samus 100% (1991) Zorg’s AM2R New Game Plus 100% Hard Mode All Bosses (2017) Super Metroid Rotation (2016) We may or may not play through: Metroid Prime Metroid Prime: Pinball Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Metroid Prime: Hunters: First Hunt Metroid Prime: Hunters Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Metroid Prime: Federation Force WHAT IS THIS LP? This Let’s Play (people recording commentary over a video game) will be run by Zorglorfian, who claims to know how to get through every 2D Metroid game on its hardest setting (barring Super and Fusion that don’t have this setting, and Metroid: Other M, a game that no one actually wants to commit to memory). However, Zorglorfian is not the best speedrunner out there, so expect mistakes and resets abound. This allows for a focused, but fun playthrough that serves as a guide to one of the quicker ways to get through this game. Joining Zorglorfian are Metroid Veterans Sagacious and Lechtansi, two good guy goons from Something Awful that Zorglorfian met helping out Sagacious in his AM2R 100% Let’s Play (Apply Directly to the Forehead!). They both are familiar with the Metroid series and provide useful commentary and facts throughout these playthroughs. WHAT GAME ARE WE PLAYING NOW? (As of January 27, 2016)  Metroid Zero Mission is the sixth game in the Metroid series. This details Samus’ first trip to Planet Zebes, home to a Space Pirate base. This game is also a remake of the first Metroid game for the NES and one of the first Metroid games to recognize speedrunning and low percent runs (playthroughs that focus on getting as little items as possible for a challenge). As a result, the movement is more fluid than ever, and people are still figuring out tricks to make their speedruns go faster and faster. Metroid Zero Mission is directed by Yoshio SakamotOH NO! (more on this later), produced by Takehiro Izushi, with updated, remixed NES music from Hirokazu ‘Hip’ Tanaka by series music veterans Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano (SO MUCH RESPECT!!!). EPISODES SO FAR: Episodes will be released weekly on Fridays. Metroid Zero Mission:  Mission 1 - The Longest Introduction: “This Screen is Called an Attract Screen!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Htvc8liNLHA  Mission 2 - Two Different Near-Death Experiences: "Get Your Heart Attacks in Now, People!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atig9JCQsmM  Mission 3 - Wall Missiles VS Wall Chickens: “Who Doesn’t Like Explodey Missile-Taste in Their Mouth?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL5HTd33nG8  Mission 4 - Ima-Go Away: “Imago is a Boss that Just Happens” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LslTpVHrG8  Mission 5 - MZM Pt. 5: Ridley Me This: "Thanks, Batman." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H9GRKdgQzc Episode 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dQXta3zjRw Episode 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckott0o-DyE Episode 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOUUvTtsKyM Episode 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2cuQCrt42M Episode 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZPeKhJMm0g The end of the road for this series! Thank you all for watching! Thanks to Lechtansi, Sagacious and PSWII60 for joining me in this game! We'll pick up with AM2R in May and I'll see you all soon! PS - We are in need of commentators for future episodes! Details: Zorglorfian posted:Hello, all! I'm in need of some co-commentators (guest stars) for the 2D Metroid Series of games. Hope you all enjoy this Let’s Speedrun and we hope to See You Next Mission. JesseHechtCREATIVE fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Apr 29, 2017 |

Oh man, I am excited for this thread! If you're still going at the end and want to play other things will you be considering doing other romhacks? Also, will all runs be 100% or will there be any% runs?

What the hell is going on in that first video? You talk for a few minutes, going through the start of the game, sounding like hearing one side of a phone call because your cocommentator can't be heard... then at 3 minutes the video resets, the intro starts over again, I hear you say the same things but now the cocommentator is there too? E: Huh, no, after the reset and your first few lines things start getting different. I'm really confused right now. Carbon dioxide fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Jan 28, 2017 |

We re-recorded and I felt like I really hit the nail on the head with explaining things the first time around, so I left it in, then we made fun of explaining the same things the second time around. It wouldn't have made sense otherwise. Some things are called back to later on and it doesn't make sense without calling back to earlier footage. It's a tongue-and-cheek LP (LS?) of sorts, so more making fun of the format comes later.Thank you for watching!

This recording is under the same management! Just a different name. Looking to expand my horizons in creativity as well as content. Expect A LOT more from me in the future. Going to re-upload to another channel as we continue on. The next few episodes refer to me as Zorglorfian, but that is to change come episode 4. Also I'm going to make custom banners and episode title cards as this series goes on. After this, expect Mario, Castlevania, Pikmin, Mega Man, Sonic, Kirby, and an 8-World Mario Maker!

Could you please link to the new updates in the post where you announce them? Otherwise it gets rather annoying to look for them.

While you are speed running Metroid games will anyone be told to stand in front of a shuttle bus? This is the standard by which I judge my Metroid speed runs from now on.

Future episodes (read: other games) will have more cohesive commentary. Gridlocked posted:While you are speed running Metroid games will anyone be told to stand in front of a shuttle bus? This is the standard by which I judge my Metroid speed runs from now on. There's no shuttle bus to stand in front of, but this comes up in the final moments of Zero Mission, actually, though that somebody is a Space Pirate.
