I agree with ais523 and scrimpeh that some of the maps were very tedious to watch Samus traverse. That's poor level design in my opinion. But I noticed little things that you did to make these parts more entertaining, and you also used new items nearly every time you were forced through that messy map in the first half. But overall, I was entertained. I normally would not watch Metroid for that long, but there were some nail-biting moments when you would nearly run out of health (down to one HP at one point) only to kill an enemy for more at just the right frame. Good work!

You're a Lurker. You need to be a Newbie (4 posts) in order to vote. This was done due to voting abuse way back when.

Gotta say, 2-2 made me both angry and extremely happy. I hate those octopi and fish more than any other baddie in the game. I always hit them. And you went right through them (hitboxes are so weird)!! But you also killed them all dead, which made me happy. And thanks for killing all of those lousy hammer-throwing enemies in 8-3! They always had it in for me on console. Liked the 1-UP in 3-1 from the unnecessary coin box hit. I don't know if this was meant to be silly or not, but I thought that it was. 6-1 had a nice screen wrap kill, never seen that before! Sometimes the fireballs in time with the music was overkill for me, once or twice was enough for me, but at the same time I can tell that some very hard work went into it so it overall didn't detract from how I felt. I have a question about nearly every SMB run I've seen on this site: It seems that that only two fireballs can be onscreen at once, but why is there a long pause between fireballs when approaching Bowser? For example, a fireball is released before Bowser appears onscreen but it's not followed by another fireball (in some castle stages), just the one. Is it faster to have only one onscreen during the approach and then fire off two immediately when you're within spitting distance of Bowser? Follow-up question: I've been watching TASes since 2007 or 2008, but I've only recently registered and have never voted. I have the permission to vote, but I have no idea how. The FAQ doesn't answer this, only if you can/cannot vote. The bottom of this page says that I can vote in polls in this forum, but at the top where it says "Vote: Did you find this movie entertaining? (Vote after watching!)" I don't see a button or anything. Bad browser maybe?
