I'm creating TAS Videos of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, but I can't press the Morph-Button [TAS]
This Tool Assisted Speedrun aims to beat the game while pressing the X-Button as few times as possible. By pressing the X-Button Samus changes between Morph Ball- and Standard Mode, is an essential Gameplay mechanic in all Metroid games.
Of course, without morphing the movement is heavily restricted, which means this run uses A LOT of out bounds glitches to navigate around the rooms.
Shoutouts to Vertigo who helped me routing this. You can see what exactly he contributed below the spoiler section.
Vertigos UA-cam:
ua-cam.com/channels/qIg0cari_7HphrmYmWdxGQ.html
Dolphin Emulator, save states, slowdown and a memory viewer were used to create this Video.
SPOILER WARNING!
Below, you can find a detailed description of every X-Press and why it is necessary. I try to keep it a little vague if possible, but don't read from this point on if you don't want to be spoiled!
X-Press 1
The collision of the door frame between the two rooms is a little weird. The next room cannot be transitioned into without morphing.
X-Press 2
It's impossible to wallcrawl all the way via bomb jumping, so the next X-Press follows immediately after the first.
X-Press 3
You have to morph to hit a trigger in this Morph Ball tunnel. To unmorph without pressing X, you can just terminal fall.
16:03
Without Screw Attack, you'd need to press X twice to get past Mining Station Access.
X-Press 4
You need to Morph at least once to defeat this Boss.
X-Press 5
You need to unmorph to escape Dark Lower Torvus after this Boss fight, it might somehow be possible to bomb jump up Undertemple Shaft using the Hunter Ing and going into the Grapple guardian fight, this would auto-unmorph Samus, but the precision and RNG/AI manipulation this would need is just absurd.
1:02:53
Getting air underwater without morphing removed 4 whole X-Presses, 2 in both Dark Oasis and Dungeon. I could have used this earlier in Torvus 1 in Hydrodynamo Station, but for entertainment reason and to keep people watching this guessing I delayed this a long as possible
1:11:17
This is my favorite room/sequence in the whole run and the main reason I even started this.
1:30:43
yep, that's not an X-Press, the game force-morphs Samus after a cancelled Screw Attack here.
Shoutouts to Vertigo for finding this. He also found that getting SA without morphing is possible, and theorized the early Sanctuary route, thus getting the X-Press count from 11 to 5.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes TAS - Max% No Light Beam
Переглядів 8253 місяці тому
This Tool Assisted Speedrun aims to collect as many Items as possible while not collecting the Light Beam, one of the best combat weapons in the game. in 2020, four years before doing this run I did another Max% No Light Beam TAS, which is basically a human Theory TAS. It's 32 minutes IGT and over 34 minutes Real Time slower than this run. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/3Aus2e_uvcs/v-d...

This Tool Assisted Speedrun aims to collect as many Items as possible while not collecting the Morph Ball Bombs. With our current knowledge, without Morph Ball Bombs it is impossible to defeat Amorbis and Spider Guardian, so we can't collect Dark Suit or Spider Ball as well, which means this run collects 97% of the Items. in 2020, three and a half years before doing this run I did another Max% ...

Chykka double Platform Phase explanation (?)
So you keep Cannonball properties even after getting Boost Ball?
@@neochozo yes, you keep cannonball until entering another cannon, saving & quitting or dying
@MaskedTAS ahhh, I see. I knew all the others but for some reason I thought acquiring Boost Ball itself cancelled the cannonball effect. Nice to know, thanks.
I started to watch this a year or so ago when I made my first comment and never finished. I have now, and the unbelievable amount of flexing you exhibit, from health management (hell the entire Dark Torvus segment) to boost jumping and everything else in this TAS is just great to watch.
This is amazing
dumb question, why was the scan door into sanctuary fortress missing
@@bakeurstew1434 it's only active after watching the cutscene where you find out about the troopers in gfmc compound
The easiest way is to just play it on the Wii Metroid Prime Trilogy where there is no X button.
straight up burst out laughing at the "11 minutes later". It was so unexpected lol
awesome stuff keep it up
It was a great time getting to show this live. I still need to find a way to get you the commentated version
God these videos are like crack to me. Happy 20th, MP2. And happy 28th to me soon.. make it happen Nintendo 👁👁
im really glad i got to help with this project! thanks so much for making this awesome TAS
Great as always!
I washed this entire video with my mouth agape. How
Criminally underrated channel Keep up the good work 🎉
I am amazed! I have a question...How did you get the boost upgrade?? It seems to just appear suddenly
at 16:06 I'm entering a Cannon in the room Sandcanyon while the game thinks I'm in Agon Temple. Unloading Sandcanyon while being shot out of the Cannon allows me to keep the 'Cannon Ball' state, which has three distinct properties: - Total invulnerability while in Morph Ball - An aura around the Morph Ball that deals 500,000 damage per frame, which allows me to Insta-Kill some enemies, most noticeably the second phase of Chykka. This aura is also capable of activating certain doors that were previously locked (though it cannot unlock currently locked doors) without needing to use a weapon against them - Allows Samus to boost, even if she doesn't already have Boost Ball
@@MaskedTAS ohhh ok thanks for the reply bro!
That 1 tick of health BEATDOWN! Man, and right before the battle the Hilarity of seeing a Pirate go flying off the Scoot and hit the ground. The pure skilladry.
How the screw attack works underwater (funny against alpha blogg)
10:18 nice juggling to get that 10X. Looks like you had just gotten warmed up here.
Interesting. So you probably never wanna do EI1 skip and only do EI2 skip if you don't have spider over doing Spiderles EI2. (Oh god all those people that learned fighting it will be mad lmao)
49:46 Why the Morph Ball glitch like it try to goes in the OOB? xD (52:04 I dunno if that count but it's looks like OOB, but even if it isn't, it's truely impressive. 😮) Edit: Ok, the Ball of Pure Light at 50:44 was clearly unexpected. :o
6:46
is there any specific reason any% is faster than low%? it feels weird to me that with tas tools you still get faster by going out of your way wasting time on things like energy tanks that you could do without XD
@@TheMellowMarshmallow low% means you have to collect as few items as possible. If you can skip it, you have to even if it would save time. In any% you don't have a restriction and your goal is to finish the game as fast as possible. Extra health upgrades or weapons that help during combat help immensely to get a lower time.
I can't even fathom how long it would take to set this up. Well done!
@@Warpded I worked around 6 months on this, 3-10 hours a week
@@MaskedTAS I applaud you, sir. I couldn't do that, not even close. That's passion
how did you got that missile container so early isnt it normally blocked via morph ball bombs?
@@yourijatzu3236 yes, but since the portal isn't active when the room is invisible, i bombed the cover before making it visible so I can just collect the missile early
That thumbnail perfectly encapsulates my feelings on speedruns for this game lol, thank you for this!
Incredible Chykka fight!
doesn't work
Oh, it's quite the contrary. No light beam is probably the easiest "max% no X" Run to do RTA by far. Although I'd recommend everyone trying this to get super missiles before sanctuary so you can deal more damage to Quadraxis.
I love the concept of TASing these random categories that I can only assume as a non-Echoes speedrunner have only ever been run like, maybe twice ever. Super niche routing with such optimization is my kind of speedrunning. Also, Echoes runs are weirdly easy to fall asleep to, so it's great when I know I ain't falling asleep until like 4 am and there's so many of these TASes to watch.
comment in the hopes youll get more alg traffic
Great as always!
This should be a great watch to fall asleep too
I think I get my most dopamine from MaskedTAS video notifications
Almost the same here
i like how there are two samuses, pause at 1:44:58 and i have no idea what caused that to happen
I can't believe I never noticed that
46:41 what??
Too many coincidences. The timing, the previous Metroid titles release, the rumoured switch 2 dev kit that arrived in Spain in 2023 which just so happens to be same location as Mercury Steam the studio that made Metroid dread
what a temple run
The 25:27 maneuver was sick
Never been as confident in my masculinity as when I got the feeling I did from watching TAS-level welding. The boosting through the Seeker Missiles area was also pure dopamine. Thanks for making this!
56:21 That quad never stood a chance
Amazing video. It's neat seeing my favorite metroid game be beaten like it's nothing.
I know this is 2 years after this has been uploaded, but did I miss obtaining the boost ball? It’s like there was no boost and then suddenly there was. I haven’t had any luck searching for where the boost ball upgrade would have come from unless I’m missing something really obvious. Some help here would be awesome. Great run to watch btw
Hi I happen to be watching this right now too lol At 23:33, he uses the cannon while the map is on the wrong room. Since the map is on the wrong room, the room he used the cannon in gets unloaded. This causes you to enter a state called "Cannon Ball," which allows you to, while Morphed, become invincible to all damage, do 500,000 damage per frame, and lets you boost for some reason. The state goes away after using another cannon or reloading the game.
Wait so… you can just kill jump guardian before he even exists???
@@crimson3565 Well it kinda exists, but it's invisible. There is a hit- and hurt box as well
Oh
When any% TAS?
