I have never beaten super metroid before. Wasnt going for speed really. Just trying to beat it. Was lost as shit for the last 1/3 of the game.

I didnt really get as many runs at mario allstars lost levels as I wanted. I got my best score with luigi. I always die at 2-4 if Im super luigi or mario. Too big to fall into that hole. Stupid mario 1 mechanics. ]]> SNES Monthly Contest: November - Super Metroid and Super Mario AS - The Lost Levels (FINAL DAY) http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=168181 2016-11-30T23:28:57 -05.00 Brock Landers 66 SNES Monthly Contest: November - Super Metroid and Super Mario AS - The Lost Levels (FINAL DAY) http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=168181 2016-11-30T21:05:28 -05.00 Brock Landers 66 SNES Monthly Contest: November - Super Metroid and Super Mario AS - The Lost Levels (FINAL DAY) http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=168181 2016-11-30T19:45:17 -05.00 Brock Landers 66
This is ironically dubbed "The Worst Room in the Game' in the speed running community.

I believe there is an alternate path you can take.

I remember one section where you had to have screw attack to kill the enemys to get out of the room. I guess that was the path where you get screw attack anyway so youd definitely have it. ]]> SNES Monthly Contest: November - Super Metroid and Super Mario AS - The Lost Levels (FINAL DAY) http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=168181 2016-11-30T17:38:55 -05.00 Brock Landers 66 SNES Monthly Contest: November - Super Metroid and Super Mario AS - The Lost Levels (FINAL DAY) http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=168181 2016-11-30T17:37:54 -05.00 Brock Landers 66 Originally posted by: Andy_Bogomil

Yeah, from what I heard, beating him in the first encounter at Ceres Station makes him weaker during the last fight. So I 'beat' him every time during that encounter under the assumption it helps me later. It either does, or I've just gotten a lot better at Ridley since doing that because he used to kick my ass constantly.

I think I've only gotten the Springball like once. Never skipped over grappling beam, though. I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I was so set on the Springball when I first started playing. So much so that I figured I needed to get the grappling beam (since there were no exploits). After I realized I could ditch both those items I was able to cut about 20 minutes from the in-game timer. Another adjustment I made near the end was to skip the Screw Attack. It made the Ridley fight a bit harder as I missed out on a set of missles, super missle, and the SA itself, but again, it cut another few minutes off the time. After these adjustments and just playing better in general I was able to cut my 1:17 down to a 0:50. I'm gonna try once or twice more tonight to see if I shave a few minutes off. I will likely post a video of the run at some point. 
 

Dont you need screw attack to get out of a section of norfair? or somewhere near the end? I thought that was the only thing to break the walls you had to jump through.

Ive played half of this game twice. Once a long time ago never finished. And then this month and my save erased because the cart glitched when I inserted it once. Ive enjoyed the game alot. Not really trying for a time. Just trying to beat it for the first time ever. Still a little bit left. ]]>
