Metroid Dread Controller Research Guide
In addition, if you run the game using the 8BitDo Pro 2, we have bundled together the firmware that you'll need to continue your runs without interruption. You can find that bundle here:
Please post a thread in the "help-and-troubleshooting" forum on the Metroid Dread Speedrunning Discord if you have any questions or concerns. If you have feedback about ways to make the Controller Research Guide better, please post a thread in "community-suggestions". Thanks!

Hey Everyone, in response to Twitch's announced 100 hour highlight storage limit going into effect on April 19th 2025, we have decided to disallow the use of Twitch highlights as a valid video submission to our boards. This will go into effect on April 19th and will only apply to runs going forward!
