This is a full completion of Metroid, meaning that all items (100%) were collected.
This is a 8 minute 16 second improvement over the previous movie ( https://tasvideos.org/202M ) by Zoizite ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Zoizite ). Much of the improvement comes from using the Up+A restart sequence, though many new shortcuts and optimizations also save time.
This movie has now been console verified. Watch this run being played on a real NES console ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H15nNnp8-tI ).
