Stumbling through Super Metroid - Part 10

[davidn]

Celebrating ten parts! But this is, without a shadow of a doubt, the dullest video to produce that I've done in this entire project. After making what I thought was great progress for the last few videos, here I was reduced to running around the entire game in a very big circle for just shy of two hours, after which I asked Kjorteo to give me a pointer and through him I remembered about the giant scary face in the rock that had scared me off several videos ago.

This video is mostly me hoovering up secrets, messing about and getting frustrated. Once again, over two hours of gameplay have been compressed down into exactly fifteen minutes.

Hah! More than once I've found myself going "... no, really, there MUST be a teleport in this game, right?" It feels so advanced compared to other similar games, but... is definitely missing at least a of the modern conveniences we've come to expect..!

Yes, I played Symphony of the Night before this (and I think that was the first game of the Metroid genre that I ever played) - so I assumed that its keyhole teleports were taken from an imagined equivalent in this game.
