Tool assisted. Not really trying to be fast.
Intentionally taking more damage to get an ultra sooner in the first wallcrawl would be faster, and you could aether dash across that room with the ultra instead of walking on the floor. Also farming less energy in the second wallcrawl and doing more dashes would save time too.
rerecords: 869 (somehow?)

Contrasted to the 2015 Frigate TAS (which was used in the 2016 :37 Any% TAS), this is an improvement of 45 seconds! The addition of “Parasite Queen Wallcrawl” only accounts for roughly half of that, where the remaining timesave was due to improved movement and optimization standards. The TAS Meta has evolved quite a lot in these past 5 years, in my view, it is simply astonishing.

This TAS was started in mid-August of 2018 …two years for two minutes of game-play -Yikes.
But in all fairness, progress has been halted for multiple months, several different times, since work began. The cumulative time spent actively creating this TAS was likely only ~3-4 months, just very spaced out.
Syncing both the address/input viewer, as well as the collision viewer, to this video was a lot of work. I painstakingly went through the timeline, accounting for lag in my screen-capture and rerecording segments until I was happy. It may not always be perfectly in-sync, off by 1 frame, but I believe the importance of these tools can not be overstated. I’m very excited about the collision viewer in particular, I hope this improves your viewing experience as much as it does mine!!
Thank you Pwootage for the collision viewer.
Thank you THC98 for sharing your input/address viewer files.
Thank you Icefire for reformatting those files to work with Metroid Prime
Thanks Aruki for your Prime World Editor
Thank you JustinDM, Vertigo, T3 and others for suggestions, ideas, and motivation.
And thanks as well to Metroid0925, for the gifted motherboard and processor which made creating this project much less of a hassle after my motherboard failed on me.
