Record Progression

From A complete guide to Super Metroid speedrunning
(Redirected from World Record History)
Jump to: navigation, search

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because Any% Glitched and Any% GT Code were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For Low% Glitched (and low% categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains moonfall.

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

Prior to Red Scarlet's 0:55 listed below, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the websites hosting the demo files for those runs are no longer available. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

With the possible exception of Smokey's runs, all of the runs listed below were confirmed to be performed in multiple segments.

15% (low% ancient history)

Prior to the discovery of the Zebetite skip (which happened in July 2003), Kejardon performed a segmented 15% run (segments were recorded from March 2002 to January 2003). The items collected were almost the same as a 14% speed run, except an additional missile pack was collected; Zebetites were destroyed one at a time, with missile refills in between. This run was recorded with ZSNES 1.30, and because of problems with ZSNES movie file (.zmv) playback, the final two segments do not play back properly.
