Played through the other night with my brother when we were having a couple drinks and got 100% in under 3 hrs game time. It was a pretty laid back run.

I'd say that's pretty damn fast ^_^

 
It's funny how it works because you put in so much time trying to save time. I remember spending hours on certain rooms trying to get the tricks down to save only a few seconds off the time. I guess that's what speed running is all about though. It's not a bad game to speed run though as it's practice friendly. You'd have to emulate other games to practice effectively I would think.

I'm not actually sure what my best time is! I am nowhere near an actual speedrunner, but I can 100% Super Metroid in 2-2.5 hours real time. In-game time is around 1:30 if I remember right.



That's less time than it took me to figure out how to wall jump.
Hahaha, same here!  Wall jumping was not intuitive to me at all for a very long time but eventually I got the hang of it.  When even casually speedrunning it's important to do though so I have gotten pretty good at it.
