TAS HD: Metroid Zero Mission (GBA) '100%' by Dragonfangs in 1:01:43.7

This is a tool-assisted recording.

Federation: Samus we need your help to defeat Mother Bra-
Samus: Done

[GamingGuru]

I'll explain: TAS translates to Tool Assisted Speedrun. The person playing the game did it on an emulator, allowing him to play the game on a frame by frame basis. He basically is allowed to control what happens every 1 60th of a second, because 60 frames make up a second of game time. This allows him to basically perform a "perfect run". This is how a gameplay would look if human error were not a factor. He is allowed to use such things as save states and luck manipulation. So, yes the player is technically human, but he controls essentially everything that occurs in the game and how he is affected at any point and time.

I love how he gets the long beam after 30 minutes of gameplay and with Kraid and Ridley already dead

[LysonToughec]

Now imagine *this* Samus hunting you down in Metroid Fusion.

*_shudders_*

[KSGClive]

When you start a new game but you gotta leave in an hour

[baruchmurphy]

When you get the power suit back it's a hell yes moment

[MSOGameShow]

51:38 Samus enters another universe and she didn't even need to increase her defacto speed for 12 hours to do it.

[Shadross]

Even though this is tool-assisted and not humanly possible, I just like to assume this how Samus would be in real life, everything just instantly destroyed as she runs through like it's fucking nothing. Who needs a nuke? Just send in Samus.

[AceOfShamrock]

I choose to believe that this run is canon to the story

[spike]

Galactic Federation "Samus, we need you to liberate Zebes, eliminate everything"
Samus "K"
*One Hour Later*
Samus "Done"

[RefluxCitadelRevelations]

Game: escape mothership in 5 minutes
Samus: 45 seconds, take it or leave it.

[hecatia]

At the end, she's like: "And I destroyed every single Space Pirate in Zebes in only 45 minutes, can you believe it?"

[Naill]

This is how I imagine Samus would actually go about everything. Just destroying everything.

Zero mission will always be one of my favorite Metroid games, I still have it for GBA and fusion as well. The music is soooo good in both.

[yokailoi]

I love how Samus messed around. Samus was shooting the area for fun until metal ridley appeared, then began shooting the wall. Then after the boss died, she shot the wall until she noticed energy. She grabbed it and began shooting the door. She then went to check the flashing red eye.

19:58
Samus: "DONT FKIN RUN AWAY FROM ME!"
Bug: "No, you got super missiles already, fk that D:".

perfect.

33:15 - 33:22

Only part of this Playthrough I can replicate. :l

[DeepDiveDevin]

Mind-bending run. I haven't played Zero Mission, so I was not expecting the surprise feels at the end with the drawing on the wall.

[bubbline]

Why do people hate on TAS runs so much? They're just as hard if not harder than an actual speedrun, requiring tons of practice and knowledge of the inner workings of the game, RNG manipulation, and a metric fuckton of time. Yes, they did it frame by frame, but that doesn't necessarily make it easier.
