Random trivia: Varia Suit probably had it's name messed up in translation. It supposed to be "Barrier Suit" but the japanese text translates to "Baria Sūtsu" since V sounds like B in japanese. The name was kept like Varia since them for consistency and because it kinda makes sense like in "Variable temperature" or something like that.

there is always something like this when it comes to translation between japan and the rest of the world xD

I'd say it being a misspelling is correct. It only had the damage reduction in the first two games, so the "barrier" bit had to come from there.

also varia sounds way cooler than "barrier" so imo it was a great mistranslation

@@Unit_00 Oh, I just noticed I worded it a bit weird. I meant that in the first two games the Varia Suit had only damage reduction.

This game has some of the best physics and movement ever in a 2D game.

Interesting hearing talk of differences between castlevania and metroid game design. One of the things I think metroid generally does better than castlevania is abilities. Castlevania games have a habit of giving you abilities that are only ever used in one or two specific places, and have no other effects outside of that. Breaking ice in DS and pushing boxes in circle of the moon come to mind. Metroid is usually a bit better about having abilities be more versatile.

Amazing, and glad you didn't skip the suitless sequence. ZM is my favorite stealth game after all

It's cool seeing something different on the channel Very much appreciated Keep your good work

YEEEESSSSS! I did not see this coming but this is my 2nd favorite metroid only behind dread so it's awesome to see you play this!

You're the first person I've watched speedrunning my favorite game. I'm as happy as a clam!

Zero Mission is neck-and-neck with Aria for my favorite Search-Action game. I ADORE this game, especially the way it controls.

Both ZM escape sparks are more hype imo. You actually use them in runs too

It's fun to watch you do this. I am so bad at this game; in the metriodvania spectrum, I lean more to the Vania, haha. Great stuff!

Man, the Zero Mission rando seems like a ton of fun, especially with how open ended Zero Mission is when you know the game. The only things you need to beat the game are Morph Ball, Bombs, Missiles and Ice Beam.

Jup playing a Metroid Rando is absolutely unexpected but it is so hype

Dang. You're not half bad at this. You're certainly better at bomb jumping than I ever was. Regarding wall-jumping in ZM vs. Super, one reason why I find it harder is that in ZM the bottom portion of Samus's sprite has to be touching a wall, while in Super as long as any portion of the side of her sprite is touching the wall it works.

There should be a Spazer Beam addon to it (Spazer) "Widens to about three beams, short enemies will die easily with it!"

this game and Prime 2 have the best escape theme. I wish they stopped using ridley's theme every time x)

This is my favorite game in the Metroid franchise.

29:08 that silence made me laugh hard man... LOL

33:07 this is the very last secret I had to find to get 100% I spent a few hours just power-bombing every room wondering how the hell I could miss not one but TWO items, and I don't even remember how I eventually found it.

i did a randomizer of this once, the power grip was locked behind the Ridley's maze room in the hidden lower left passage- pain in the ass cause it's ALMOST power grip locked and i had to make really precise jumps and missile shots to make it though

This game is actually my favorite of all time.

You know I discovered this dude yesterday with this video so what March 30, 2024 and yeah I like him he's entertaining I subbed as well as liked the video

100% agree that wall jumping is easier in Super. It’s also just a shame how little you can do with wall jumps in this game when compared to Super.

Also, to give Kraid a bit of credit, he’s a huge bastard in 15% Hard. (I would say low% but you can absolutely go lower than 15%, it’s just that 15% is the number you need for the extra endings.)

27:23 iceless is exactly what I call those kinds of jumps

I just realized that the space pirate mothership has the wrecked ship theme from super metroid, does that mean that it is the wrecked ship after the game is completed?

Excellent.

This is a blast from the past.

So what happens if you get Gravity before Varia? Does Gravity resist heat even without Varia stacked on top?

The Fully Power Suit already has Varia when you obtain it, even if you didn’t get it in the first part of the game.

I guess the biggest issue with ZM Rando I have is how bombs crack the game open for checks.

Room transitions are style only, the game can load screens pretty quickly actually

Alot of them have settings to allow you to make them as difficult and/or technical as you want. Like Metroidhunter said, the main difficulty usually comes from remembering all the item spawns and what you might need to get to them on the lower difficulties, other than that, you should be able to reach them with intended techniques only.
