I have to admit, even I never got though this game when I originally had it. Not to mention I don't think anyone else could beat this game without getting hit once just to access the BEST ENDING at the end.
Im pretty sure you dont need to never get hit for the best ending. All it takes is beating the game fast enough (in fact, the ending shown here is the second best ending, the best one is for beating the game in under an hour of total playtime
@@colinmulder6806 yeah really. Fortunatley you dont need to get all items so its less impossible then it sounds but still very hard (ive never gotten better then the 3 hour ending shown in this video myself)
@@finnvaneekelen4966 Well with how difficult the FINAL level is, it's probably better to be safe & prepared than sorry. Sometimes it's best to study videos like this so that way you can come up with a strategy in beating the game yourself later on. Not to mention they give you a chance to find extra items & shortcuts that you missed that you might need later on as you play.
I decided to finally finish metroid today. Your walkthrough was super helpful. Thank you so much ! Also I admire the fact that you haven't taken any damages !
This game is NOT a joke, most people nowadays can't even beat the og super Mario for the nes, this game is way more confusing and difficult that super Mario bros
Wow, phenomenal run!! Several close calls, but you evaded them all successfully! I hate that there can't be some way to avoid being hit when going through the door to get the energy tank after Ridley, but that's not your fault, and it's still a perfect run. Given that you didn't need the energy tank because the most you can carry is six, the game forces one to pick between being forced to lose energy going through that door or not FULLY getting 100% of Items. Kudos!!
@@douglashudson4706 I'm not the uploader but 1. no 2. what does work on Virtual Console is going around Ridley and entering the ETank room while all the projectiles are on-screen so that enemy doesn't load. not sure how bombs and beams impact the sprite limit 3. VC is a notoriously poor emulator and I don't own the game on NES lol. don't take this as proof, more of a suggestion
@@megatenfakefan7642 100% you can get through that door without killing Ridley and without getting hit. I just did it in a couple minutes at home on console. it wasn't even that hard to pull off.
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Too bad about the room after Ridley, but I'm actually surprised that's the only place in the game where damage is unavoidable.
man 43:25. when I played it 1995 or 1996 I did not know this and did not manage to pass that pillar without turbo button function. This and Time Lord were the only 2 games I did not finish without turbo function. And now additional I see in this video in the first 20 minutes I missed already 2 energy tanks back then. The invisible ones
Yeah I can't avoid that damage when going through the door. In the description I mention it's no damage apart from that one bit where it's impossible to avoid
@@retrolongplayer I see now. Great run. I just finished Metroid Dread and was curious to see how the original played. This video satisfied that curiosity.
@@retrolongplayer you should really put that this is a segmented run with save states in your titles of the videos. It's misleading to say it's a no damage playthrough when you didn't actually do a playthrough, but a pieced together run. Especially when the hit you took is also possible to avoid. You point out that no glitches were used to make sure people know that, you should also put segmented with save states.
@@gblargg well people can do it without save state or rewind. here is a video of me doing metroid damageless in way less time using the glitched route. th-cam.com/video/gBWvhYkBMQM/w-d-xo.html also, my buddy slackanator did it without glitches, here is a link to his video th-cam.com/video/KHXzXMbfv5Y/w-d-xo.html we put a lot of work into learning how to do this without save states or other tools, so it would be nice if people using those tools stated it. That way people would understand what they are watching, especially when this video claiming to be a damageless run takes a hit in the run that can be avoided.
Cant Call it a no damage run even if its a cheese hit...hit is a hit no matter. Not to be rude of me...But it does say no damage and u took damage cheese as it was...Kinda mad me mad when that happen but its not a no damage run after that sorry.

Only 18 minutes in the video and you’ve already done more than what I ever could do as a child 😭
The satisfaction of beating Metroid after countless hours makes this my favorite game of all time. To see this level of play is mind-blowing!
So many close calls! Great run! That one cheesy hit at 45:39 was absurd.
well yeah, he used save states, what do you expect heh
Incredible soundtrack to bring back old memories.
It is considering the time it came out. Amazing what they achieved
No damage, wow that's incredible! Great run !
Great run. And great video quality too. Watching you do Tourian hitless was stressful as hell! :)

He did take damage.

Meanwhile, I can barely get to the morph ball without taking damage...
I get this is a joke but theres straight up no way tot ake damage if you just grab the morphball. Thats kinda impressive tbh
You can take damage getting to the morph ball...if you want to

If you bombed Samus up and went through the door at the top while still in a ball, would that work to avoid that enemy?

1. no

@@CHX42 thanks! I just didn't want to say it'd work on console if I wasn't sure...are you considering running 100% damageless nmg?
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Too bad about the room after Ridley, but I'm actually surprised that's the only place in the game where damage is unavoidable.
lmao, I never knew they translated Zebes to "Zebeth"
Pretty damned impressive.
Always thought Samus had really bad hayfever. Sounds like "achoo" every time she fires a missile.

If you get the best ending, you can play through the game again as Zero Suit Samus.
Inaccurate title. Damage taken @45:38
Yeah I can't avoid that damage when going through the door. In the description I mention it's no damage apart from that one bit where it's impossible to avoid
@@retrolongplayer I see now. Great run. I just finished Metroid Dread and was curious to see how the original played. This video satisfied that curiosity.
Insane run. Extremely impressive. Would you have started over with a new run had you taken damage at the end?
Thanks! I do the longplays segmented, so I would have just redone the section if I had taken damage.
@@retrolongplayer you should really put that this is a segmented run with save states in your titles of the videos.

@@CHX42 i do agree, while segmented runs are amazing in their own right it takes away from those who have done it in one sitting
@@CHX42 I just assumed it was done with rewind or save states.

Nice run, but you did take damage. Although it is unavoidable.
Impressive.
How come the music and sound effects in the final location are muted?

Love this game I feel like people just dismiss it.
if you don't kill ridley first, you can get through that door without getting hit
Genius!!!
Kraids lair 😎
Audio is silent 54:31 to 59:13.
Sorry it got copyright claimed
@@retrolongplayer W O W. That's kind of hilarious. Classic Metroid music and sound effects... but just a portion.
How is this "full completion" when you didn't get the best ending?
Ending is time-based. Idk if it's possible to 100% and get the best ending
@@LandoHitman It is possible to 100% this game
@@TBMartin 100% the game *and* get the best possible ending simultaneously? (All while taking zero damage?) That's gotta take mad skill.
