Walkthrough - NES - Metroid | 100% Full Completion No Damage 

well yeah, he used save states, what do you expect heh

I get this is a joke but theres straight up no way tot ake damage if you just grab the morphball. Thats kinda impressive tbh

If you bombed Samus up and went through the door at the top while still in a ball, would that work to avoid that enemy?

@@douglashudson4706 I'm not the uploader but 1. no 2. what does work on Virtual Console is going around Ridley and entering the ETank room while all the projectiles are on-screen so that enemy doesn't load. not sure how bombs and beams impact the sprite limit 3. VC is a notoriously poor emulator and I don't own the game on NES lol. don't take this as proof, more of a suggestion

@@megatenfakefan7642 Interesting, thanks for the info.

@@megatenfakefan7642 100% you can get through that door without killing Ridley and without getting hit. I just did it in a couple minutes at home on console. it wasn't even that hard to pull off.

@@CHX42 thanks! I just didn't want to say it'd work on console if I wasn't sure...are you considering running 100% damageless nmg?

Thanks! I do the longplays segmented, so I would have just redone the section if I had taken damage.

@@retrolongplayer you should really put that this is a segmented run with save states in your titles of the videos. It's misleading to say it's a no damage playthrough when you didn't actually do a playthrough, but a pieced together run. Especially when the hit you took is also possible to avoid. You point out that no glitches were used to make sure people know that, you should also put segmented with save states.

@@CHX42 i do agree, while segmented runs are amazing in their own right it takes away from those who have done it in one sitting

@@CHX42 I just assumed it was done with rewind or save states.

@@gblargg well people can do it without save state or rewind. here is a video of me doing metroid damageless in way less time using the glitched route. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gBWvhYkBMQM.html also, my buddy slackanator did it without glitches, here is a link to his video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KHXzXMbfv5Y.html we put a lot of work into learning how to do this without save states or other tools, so it would be nice if people using those tools stated it. That way people would understand what they are watching, especially when this video claiming to be a damageless run takes a hit in the run that can be avoided.

Yeah I can't avoid that damage when going through the door. In the description I mention it's no damage apart from that one bit where it's impossible to avoid

@@retrolongplayer I see now. Great run. I just finished Metroid Dread and was curious to see how the original played. This video satisfied that curiosity.

Sorry it got copyright claimed

​@@retrolongplayer W O W. That's kind of hilarious. Classic Metroid music and sound effects... but just a portion.

Ending is time-based. Idk if it's possible to 100% and get the best ending

@@LandoHitman It is possible to 100% this game

@@TBMartin 100% the game *and* get the best possible ending simultaneously? (All while taking zero damage?) That's gotta take mad skill.
