Ridley's wings are still too small to support his weight, even if they are energy wings. The Smash Ultimate version (where he doesn't fly at all) is the most realistic version.
In space, wings may not work, but solar sails, do. Retro was clever to design Ridley with sails for wings, because they would allow free movement in space. It isn't energy efficient, but in the Sci-Fi universe of Metroid, it isn't too unlikely that such a technique would be unviably inefficient.
@@samuelviden7412 my assumption is that if we do have a collection for it on switch, we'd see it on the 20th anniversary of prime 1, so next year 2022.
It's funny how you still have to collect all chozo artifacts because in the game lore the space pirates are like I wish there would be a way to avoid collecting these lol
God damn, that moment when he uses Infinite Speed to break through two rooms and grab the Wave Beam and an artifact in one frame... That is absolutely astonishing. Prime 1 is one of my favorite games from my childhood, and I remember trying a few of these speedrunning tricks before, most notably the Double Jump First one. But I didn't know that you could turn off the map notifications so it kept pestering me to go to Phendrana Drifts even though I'd never been to Chozo Ruins.
Too bad the bonus scene is based on scanning rather than time. If it was based on time, this run would have earned the ending where Samus tells you how to build a starship in real life.
@@reeidly Metroid game file percentage is always just items. Scans have their own separate percentage gauge, that is only mentioned by the game when the player hits milestones such as 50 and 100%. No effect on the ending cutscenes, but rather just unlocking one of the four art galleries.

Nintendo would be fools to not put Metroid Prime Trilogy in a remastered package on Switch before Prime 4 releases. I hope Retro had another trilogy planned; that would be amazing.
I know this is super late, but this is my favorite game of all time. My first Metroid game, and I love seeing the tricks that people have figured out for it.
I played this game a few years ago for the first time and I was thinking back then that this probably isn't a good game for speedrunning (compared to for example super metroid) because there is just too much linearity and stuff that is slow and can't be avoided. Oh boy how wrong I was. Amazing run. Very interesting to see all the strats and skills.
Me: Hey, I have been playing this game for some time now and am pretty good at this. Let's see how other pros play. . . . *Deletes saved games* *Throws GameCube in the trash*
Always love seeing the metroid games broken this way. I just started playing the entire metroid series from the beginning timeline to the end. Love the prime series. Hands down best FPS game out there
Im glad im a METROID Fan because i love and appreciate EVERY Metroid as its own! 2D Series Prime Series Other M It doesnt matter! ... METROID LOVE BROTHERS
Just finished this on wiiu for the first time. Been getting into metroid in the past week or 2 binging all the games before dread and prime 4. Had to come see the pros run this after doing my snails pace blind run lol.
Alpha Strategy Guides if you watch, a little later in the run when he does get Ice Beam he mentions that the route has changed and now it’s quicker to do it the way he does now~
As of a few years ago doing IBBF is slower in any%. The out-of-bounds movement is still done, but now you get Ice Beam during your second Chozo Ruins visit after getting Wave Beam. The main reason for delaying it is that you can skip the Chozo Ghost fight in Hall of the Elders during the final Chozo Ruins visit, which saves about 40 seconds over doing IBBF and being forced to fight the Chozo Ghost. Doing IBBF, but actually before Flaahgra, is still very important for the 100% route however.
In-game time doesn't count during loading screens, cutscenes, or menus. Most speedruns these days use real time as a more accurate measurement of speed since runs with a pretty big variance in real time can end up with the same in-game time
I believe on the Gamecube version, you're able to unlock it if you have Metroid Fusion and connect your GBA to the console. In the Trilogy version, you can unlock it by getting enough credits and buying it in the Extras menu.
I wanna know how he got Light Show after getting Power Bomb early...cuz when I did that...I got a list of codes and my game crashed and my Gamecube shut off
I'm pretty sure he was playing on a Wii. From what I understand running on the Wii is standard for runs of Prime since it can deal with loads and glitches much better than the GC can. I've played the game casually for 5 years and only had my game crash when I played it on my friend's GC instead of my Wii
They have released I believe 3 different versions/updates for the game on GC not even counting the wii trilogy. From what I can tell they tried patching certain glitches /exploitslike preventing you from getting the plasma beam without the grapple, they might have also programmed some versions to soft-lock if you try to grab a power ball expansion before you are supposed to get it as intended
This game really needs to be on switch! It's aged so well and would be perfect while we wait for metroid prime 4.
wasnt already trilogy for switch leaked or am i wrong?
@@im_salted_pork two stick + gyro options would be pretty good ngl
@@im_salted_pork I would bet money that the Switch port of Corruption would practically require the use of joycon gyroscopes like SMO.
@BWGgy We've "heard" it's coming for ages now, but from everyone but Nintendo, so it counts for nothing at this stage unfortunately :/
There were some rumors they've pretty much finished work on it, but they're waiting to put it somewhere closer to the release of Prime 4.
"Everyone knows that if you flap your wings in space, you go faster." Oh god, I never even thought of that. xD
I dont get it
Ridley's wings are still too small to support his weight, even if they are energy wings. The Smash Ultimate version (where he doesn't fly at all) is the most realistic version.
@@Guts_Brando there's no air in space, so flapping wings shouldn't work.
And yeah, he is flying in space.
In space, wings may not work, but solar sails, do. Retro was clever to design Ridley with sails for wings, because they would allow free movement in space. It isn't energy efficient, but in the Sci-Fi universe of Metroid, it isn't too unlikely that such a technique would be unviably inefficient.
This game looks so incredible for 2002. Seriously. This was the same year as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
It holds up remarkably well from a graphical/technical standpoint. It's no wonder that it won game of the year in 2002.
It’s still a perfect game too! Just started playing it again recently. It’s mind blowing that it was only a few relative years after Mario 64.
The GameCube was no joke
The Gamecube was ahead of its time.
@@samuelviden7412 my assumption is that if we do have a collection for it on switch, we'd see it on the 20th anniversary of prime 1, so next year 2022.
You could not have possibly hyped up 'Infinite Speed' enough.
I believe my twitch was wrong for some portion of the run. Follow me at twitch.tv/JustinDM for some more prime action.
Comparing his estimate to his actual, it looks like the runner finished Justin time.
It's funny how you still have to collect all chozo artifacts because in the game lore the space pirates are like I wish there would be a way to avoid collecting these lol
Perhaps they didn't think this through when Samus came whooping their arses to the oblivious.
I cannot believe this game is nearly 20 years old. Still looks amazing now, just incredible:D

I enjoyed using some of these skips to sequence break. I almost always grab the Space Jump early and I enjoy having an ice beam as early as possible
And ergo, Shinespark was invented.
20:34 I love how he synced his power beam shots to the music!
Mostly because speed running boredom during door loads allows for that.
Too bad the bonus scene is based on scanning rather than time. If it was based on time, this run would have earned the ending where Samus tells you how to build a starship in real life.
I thought the bonus scene was based on item collection, you're talking about the scene where it shows the creation of Dark Samus, right?
@@FrahdChikun it's based off completetion percentage. That includes items and scanning
@@FrahdChikun Yup, it's a 100% item completion reward - does not need scans.

Just give us prime trilogy for switch already Nintendo what are you waiting for?
It insane,how quick a game like this can be beaten.
Massive nostalgia trip when I heard that boss music.
It's always fun seeing Metroid games getting speedrun.
Me: Hey, I have been playing this game for some time now and am pretty good at this. Let's see how other pros play.

Dang. Hitting all of those invisible boxes to trigger rooms. More like Metroid Mime amirite?
"We have time for some donations."
Skip skip skip skip skip
Correct: Scan Skip, Scan Skip, Scan Skip, Scan Skip...
My favorite part of some GDQ runs is the terrible puns. You could say they are the prime reason I watch them.
“I donated $60 to charity, just to make you listen to my bad puns. It’s a win win situation for me”
So many memories on this game, love it
am i the only one whose mind darted to 'build up speed for 12 hours' when he did infinite speed
"Metroid Prime: No A button presses"
"Just gonna do a quick yee-haw jump up to this door"
"YeE hAw"
The skip at 25:11 is badass
Samus has mastered quantum mechanics, to be in two places at once
23:26 Beautiful scan dash!
this game is by far the best metroid game
"Dash off this inverted snowcone..."
Even with them explaining everything along the way this game makes no sense to me I'd be lost!
37:00 Well, we _did_ get Metroid 5 after Prime 3. Does that count?
The puns are real with this run...
I guess you could say it was a pun run.
All those puns were a Metroid Crime
Fun pun
Aran't you glad you watched this run? It was Ridley entertaining.
I hope this run is a sign of things to come
Because otherwise this was their *prime* run
37:56 would that be spelled "pterrible"?
"The next game should CLEARLY be 5"
Well, here we are
Metroid Prime GDQ? I'll take that any day
I want metroid prime 4 so badly
5:56 He avoided the explosion, his upgrades should've stayed intact after that. lol
True, but it was scripted for Samus Aran to lose them regardless.
Excellent run with excellent puns!
Metroid Jumping Prime 😵💫 This run is impressive.
Did someone say "No" during the ORBBB? haha
Watching them actually destroy my favorite game is the best, great run Dudes!
I hope so much they bring this game out on the switch. It Was my childhood game💯
Why is Metroid Prime a giant tar spider with a face? I've been wondering this ever since realizing I ran into the final boss...
Still one of the greatest runs ever done
Im glad im a METROID Fan because i love and appreciate EVERY Metroid as its own!
2D Series
Prime Series

It doesnt matter! ...
METROID LOVE BROTHERS
The jokes were the real stars of this run.
These guys can see The Matrix.
I came for the speedrun, I stayed for the puns
That other m pun...
48:00 ? bc i booed hard at this one LMAO
So does Samus' armor never get the shoulders from the varia suit because of the skipped cutscenes at the beginning?
...Nobody wants to? ...Alright, I will...
*long, agonized groan at all the puns*
Just finished this on wiiu for the first time. Been getting into metroid in the past week or 2 binging all the games before dread and prime 4. Had to come see the pros run this after doing my snails pace blind run lol.
The graphics hold up remarkably well
Why didn't Justin go for Ice Beam Before Flaaghra (IBBF)? Surely it isn't that risky for Justin in an any%?

how come the timer at the end says an hour and 16 minutes but the in game timer at the end said 52 minutes?
The in game time doesn't count cutscene and menu times
Ingame time doesnt take in account cutscenes, and other specific things, while the real timer does.
In-game time doesn't count during loading screens, cutscenes, or menus. Most speedruns these days use real time as a more accurate measurement of speed since runs with a pretty big variance in real time can end up with the same in-game time
RTA vs IGT timing.
That's the in-game timer. It pauses during cutscenes and when the game pauses, such as when you get those item acquired popups.
black fusion suit was dope
20:19 I wonder if anyone has ever used MetroidCrime as a username
So crazy how he's only 15 minutes in and playing it normally took me about 2 hours to get to that point lol
So you need one of the original GameCube copies of the game, and okay it on the Wii to do this.
Haven’t played this in ages but isn’t the phazon suit black and red? How come Samus’ suit is orange at the end?
Fusion Suit skin was turned on as a donation incentive, so the final orange suit from Fusion replaces the look of the Phazon Suit.
Wait... I don’t get it. How/why did Samus have that weird “Fusion” suit on through the beginning of the game? 🤔
I believe on the Gamecube version, you're able to unlock it if you have Metroid Fusion and connect your GBA to the console. In the Trilogy version, you can unlock it by getting enough credits and buying it in the Extras menu.
Fusion Suit is an unlockable cosmetic in Prime 1 and it was turned on for this run as part of a donation incentive
There's just so many dad jokes going on with the donations lol
I wish I could have donated and shared my epic puns. For example, I was decent at this game in my PRIME.
I wanna know how he got Light Show after getting Power Bomb early...cuz when I did that...I got a list of codes and my game crashed and my Gamecube shut off
He is playing on a wii instead and that helps prevent the crashes
I'm pretty sure he was playing on a Wii. From what I understand running on the Wii is standard for runs of Prime since it can deal with loads and glitches much better than the GC can.

did i miss something or why does samus has a fusion suit in prime ? i mean literally years earlier in storyline
If you had Metroid fusion, you could use a link-cable to transfer the fusion suit to metroid prime
It's unlockable by linking a GBA with Fusion to the Wii/GameCube. The appearance change is purely cosmetic, however!
It's just an unlockable cosmetic in the game.
Bonus if you beat Prime and connected with a copy of Metroid Fusion via link cable.
I can't remember if croconaw is a metroid boss or a pokemon
Damn!!!, Im a really really good metroid pleyer, especially in Prime, but wow, this guy its awesome really really awesome
Very nice
but did he have to fight the omega pirate? he already got the artifact
Why is the suit that colour?
There's an option for Samus to wear the fusion suit from Metroid Fusion in Prime 1
Gooooood watchin'!
The puns in this run were so bad, I was laughing most of the time. :D
Just rewatched, still bad, still funny.
As a mental health patient myself:
Thank you, truly, to everyone who donated for this event.
1 is not a prime number.
if this game were a little more like legend of zelda itd be metroid TIME
Not sure if anyone knows but what causes the music change in Talon overworld?.
I think it might be coming out of the elevator from Magmoor? Not certain
Holy fucking dad jokes
How the hell she has fusion suit 😅
If you linked your gamecube to your advance and have both games you can do it :p
This was really.... Punny!
All these pun names Metroid rhyme.
*OOOOOOORB*
Samus can beat multi parallel universe Mario.
Praise Remy for skipping the bar skip. I always disliked it.
100% runs are always so much more interesting, but only if the items are unique.
Second
First!
First, because I can.
First.
The game is entertaining to watch as a speedrun but it's still an abomination. Just like Castlevania, there should never be a 3D Metroid game... Ever!
>calling one of the best games of all time an abomination
Huh?
This game have various design problems, but it isn't a bad game at all
Hell naw 3D Metroid is just as good
