Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - 100% Speedrun (
World Record as of January 29, 2023
In-Game time: sigh TBD
Real Time: - 2:04:27
Commentary version: / 1722786193
This speedrun uses the new "Power Bombs Before Bombs" route that utilizes a new secret world in GFMC Compound to skip going to Great Temple early in the game and get a Power Bomb Expansion in Dynamo Chamber, it removes the need to get Feeding Pit's power bomb (removing the RNG related to it in the process) and it saves around 40 seconds.
Pretty good speedrun, less dumb mistakes around and more clean movement but still has a couple of major mistakes in it, namely Doomed Entry after Light Beam, Quad wallcrawl and Fight, bad Transit Tunnel South and failed Gathering Hall ceiling warp, bad Dark Agon Temple escape.
But there are still good highlights of it, the spotlight belongs to entering the Agon elevator in less than 7 minutes at the start, successful 1-Cycle Chykka, and perfect Agon cleanup with a first try Mine Shaft sw and first try Mining Plaza reverse ceiling warp.
With all of this in mind, I'd say this is a good time to settle on for now.
13 minutes faster than DF's pb from 2018, big improvements all around and I'm happy for it.

If it happens it will just be a normal hd remaster sadly. Prime 2 and 3 aren't as well known and beloved like the first so I don't think Nintendo is planning to re release them. Not to mention there isn't enough time left before the Switch gets replaced by a new console. To remaster them it would take at least 1 year for each and the Switch won't last for 2+ more years.

44:52 "ROAR, I AM THE ALPHA BLOGG!" "Hold my screw attack" "Your wh-----" "Ok buh bye!" Editing this after watching the full run -- holy hell is the screw attack over powered. I never thought to try to use it against bosses when I played this game 15+ years ago, replaying on the Wii Trilogy, or even in my recent replay back in December. You not only crushed the game, but humiliated each boss afterwards. I'm planning on replaying Echoes again soon just because its so dang good and am going to try some of those tricks. So damn well done, my Varia helmet off to you for a great speedrun!

It absolutely eviscerates Emperor Ing due to a coding fuckup, lol.
Like i said, years of war and hardship the Luminoth endured and suffered in the hands of the Ing... Only for a Chozo girl to solve their crisis in a single day... Or in this case, an hour.
After the Metroid Prime 4 trailer i had to come back and watch a speedrun of my favourite game of all time ❤
31:51 - Holy shit this whole sequence is insane.
I always love when Samus first enters the Pirate lab in these speedruns. All the pirates are gathered around the portal preparing to go in and Samus just runs in front of them and dives in first lmao

25:37 by obtaining the "CannonBall" item, it gives you boostball as well as massively damaging enemies by touching them in morphball mode... and also makes you invincible in morphball mode. There is a speedrun wiki page about it.

I've devoted my time to improve speedrun times in these games for years, it would have had to be worth it one way or another.
So i don't know what happened at 26:00 but i suppose that interrupting the animation from that cannon tricked the game into giving you the boost ball?

Pausing a lot delays the load of the next room by a few seconds, this is done to perform the trick Barrier Skip. When you enter Torvus Temple for the first time, the laser barrier that blocks super missiles extends all the way down to the elevator room door, so it's necesary to clip into it

@@MrMiguel211 DOPE!!!! I'll be praying you get in. This speedrun is so freaking sick. Can you answer a couple of questions for me in the meantime? 1. At the beginning, it's sort of hard for newbie eyes to see, but are you performing any kind of skip that prevents the Ing from stealing your equipment? I know you get the message that the equipment was stolen. After that, the use of the boost ball confuses me. LOL! I don't see you use the boost ball after the Ing dogpile you, but I see you use it prior to defeating the boost guardian. How does that work? 2. For the Vault, are you just walking through the unloaded room and touching the area where the screw attack is? I guess it's actually loaded in but not visible? 3. When you were learning this, how did you practice? Was there some sort of practice ROM that you were able to use, or was it just trial by error? Thanks man! Keep up the good work!

@@ChristoConfido1985 1. I did lose my items, what I did there was bomb the wall before the item loss cutscene so I can grab the missile early. As for boosting, at 25:35 I did a glitch called "Cannon Ball" which is getting launched by a cannon and unloading the room while in the launch state. This gives the Morph Ball some weird properties, one of them is being able to use boost without actually having Boost Ball, the other 2 properties are being Invincible while morphed and doing 500,000 damage every frame (Only some enemies are vulnerable to Cannon Ball damage though, and Chykka Adult is one of them, which is why he dies immediately by rolling into him later on) 2. Yes, I am walking into the room, it is actually still loading so I am getting into the exact position where Screw Attack is going to be when it loads, then I clip out of the chamber and drop down to terminal fall back into Grand Abyss. 3. Yes. A LOT of practice, back in my day I just used the Menu Mod tool that let me warp to any room, save anywhere and have any item I want, so I just looked at any room I wanted and practiced, but nowadays I use Dolphin Emulator with save states (still with Menu Mod) but I've been running this game for over 3 years now.

I would understand if this was an any percent with the dark Samus encounter skip, but that trick wasn’t used in this run. Using that trick ruins 100 percent. So there must have been another trick to use the speed booster during that clip in sanctuary fortress.
