Super Metroid - Any% "GT Code" TAS in 0:18 by Saturn, completed in February 23, 2011.
This is a any% run of Super Metroid, demonstrating how to considerably shorten the completion time by using the "GT Code", a trick discovered in late 2010 by JAM. It's executed by holding the A, B, X, and Y buttons during a door transition to the Golden Torizo room (regardless from which side), which immediately gives you all items except of Screw Attack, 700 Energy, 300 Reserve Energy, 100 Missiles, 20 Super Missiles, and 20 Power Bombs. This allows to introduce many not in regular runs available speed tricks and rare boss strategies with the help of Plasma/X-Ray combination exclusively developed for this run, to pace through the rest of the game very quickly.
Furthermore it presents a very optimized Mother Brain battle, showing the full potential of the
"Stand Up Glitch", which, if you have exactly 700 Energy left before MB's 1st Hyper Beam, can also be executed without delays when having the Gravity Suit equipped.
Enjoy!
