New category
6 years ago

Hi! I have a request for a new category in the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes part of these forum. I really like to speed run this game without glitches very much but i cant hold up to people who are using any kind of glitches like the item loss skip, wallcrawl, early powerbombs etc. So i wish for a category for all prime games without glitches(any%). I hope that you can fulfill my request.

Most people who run these games don't have any interest in a "glitchless" run. It's partly that it's hard to define glitchless per say. That being said, feel free to run without glitches for now. I'm sorry that you can't quite compete with the times, but run what makes you happy. Maybe it can be done in the future.

I'm also interested in Glitchless!

That´s really nice! But we need more people for this category, otherwise it will not be included.

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a glitchless category if you guys can decide what that would entail.

Dyceron and i created some rules for Glitchless. Here they are:

Glitchless for the Metroid Prime Series is as follows:

  • No OoB
  • No BSJ's/Roll Jumps
  • Items may be skipped as long as glitches aren't used
  • Exploits (Dashing) and inbounds tricks are allowed
  • You may skip a boss only if a glitch isn't used to do so (Boss = Health Bar)"

If you mean glitchless as in minimal items pickup, I've done that.. on wii version, hypermode difficulty only for Prime 1. The total% at the end came to 29%. It took 7 hours 27 mins to complete the run but the entire impact crater was 25 minutes. I'm currently stuck on Echoes at BBG and I'm also stuck in Corruption at phaaze. My copy of the game, gives the seed thing at the end of phaaze too much health and no matter how much I damage it, it doesn't explode.

No Glitchless does not mean minimal items.

Glitchless just means.... a glitchless (any %/100% etc.) run.

All I meant was making it more interesting with a difficult category in glitchless, but I'm wondering if you can tell me any way to make killing the seed at the end of phaaze any easier? I can't seem to do it with minimal items no matter how much damage I do to it.

If you want to have a good time in glitchless, you need to learn some "complicated" exploits and have perfect movement for like 3-5 hours straight. (MP2) Also can you skip darksuit in this category which makes it also really hard to fight boostball guardian or perform early torvus for example. I find it tough. (And for phaaze: )

Very well, but there is a version difference for Corruption that in this video at the end of phaaze, ( referring to the seed ) it took 4 charged shots to kill on hyper difficulty.. yet that's only possible on PAL version I believe, whereas I would have to do about 8 - 10 maybe less but it's very complex with one energy tank. Also, does holding z and looking downwards make Samus run quicker?

No, but moving diagonally is faster than moving forward.

Hello. I have a question about the Glitchless rules in Prime1. Spring Bomb Jumps (Spring John Bomp) : Is it allowed? Hamburger Jump :Is it allowed? Infinite Boosting is prohibited (but not mentioned in the rules). How are these actually determined?

Seconded. I'd like to know more about what is and isn't allowed while I work to improve my gameplay.

In the Glitchless Rules it is stated that Infinite Speed and Hamburger Jump are prohibited while Bomb Jump Techniques are only in certain cases which are stated.
