[TAS] DS Metroid Prime Pinball by Noxxa in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2688M.html. TAS originally published on 2014-09-25.
In this spin-off game based on Metroid Prime, Samus gets knocked and rolled around a pinball table in Morph Ball form. The table contains Metroids, which can latch onto her and suck away health. Tables initially include the surface of Tallon IV, the Pirate Frigate, the Phazon Mines, and Phendrana Drifts, though more can be unlocked by finding and collecting Artifacts, which are found by destroying Space Pirates and other dangerous creatures in certain missions.
In this TAS, Noxxa (tasvideos.org/Noxxa.html) extensively uses the game's nudging mechanic to give additional momentum and control to the ball's trajectory, along with crazy pinball action to collect the twelve Chozo Artifacts and beat the final boss as fast as possible.

Just so people know since TH-cam usually bugs the resolutions for this screentype:
4k is actually 8k, 1080p is actually 4k, 720p is actually 1440p, 360p is actually 720p, 240p is actually 480p, 144p is actually 240p.

I actually really like Pinball games, enjoyed all of the Pokémon, Mario, Metroid games. Wish they made more pinball spinoffs nowadays.

Is mario pinball any good?

[@Tutajkk50]

@@retro_marmota Yeah, it follows the Mario 64 / Sunshine formula of collecting Stars, but on pinball levels. You have to defeat enemies and bosses all while playing pinball. The physics might be just a bit weird to get used to at first, but after that it's really enjoyable.

Pinball tases never fail to deliver

I suck at pinball games, this perfection is beyond my compréhension, I had to watch the video at 0.5x speed to understand whats happening.

[@DoctorPorkenfries]

The :awesome was funny, but I would've been PISSED if I beat this game legitimately and got a shitty "straight to end credits" ending.

[@CScottyW]

Awesome

[@JoseEstrada-yd9gx]

I wonder how much time the developers took to design the game, and how much time this taser took =)
