Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I was planning on finishing it in one sitting, but I left Maridia before getting the Space Jump and now I have to trek all the way back there so I'm calling it a night.

The normal way.
I was aware of the grapple beam trick but couldn't remember the exact technique :l
Ha! I was not aware that there was a NORMAL way.

Whaaaaat.
Edit: So have any GAFfers beaten this yet? Interested in starting to get some completion times up.
Look how tight the F-Zero competition was, especially Mute City: http://astraseal.co.uk/old/neogaf/fzero/

Just beat it. 4:07 completion time, 75% items. I've done worse.
Maybe now I can stop being distracted and get back to Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem on 3DS.

Hmm. I think I'll wait to hear on some impressions from my fellow europeans on that 50hz shenanigans... Price is not an issue, but I'd really like NoE to get the message and just release the 60hz version as an optional.

Did you post a shot on Miiverse? :<
People who steal cards usually make an initial purchase of $1 or less to see if the card is working, so automatic detection systems pick it up.

About 2pm usually, give or take an hour or two depending on how efficient the eShop monkeys in charge are feeling on any particular day.
Super Metroid and Runner 2 today for less than a tenner, not a bad deal.

May I have a cookie?
huh?
You have to sign in with a NN account in order to view miiverse on PC?
Seems like a hugely wasted opportunity to advertise Nintendo's gaming-sphere!
I'd thought the fact anyone could see how much fun Wii U owners are having would be a great way to promote the system...

Ive beaten this game numerous times but have never collected 100% of the items. Does anyone have any links to any sort of cohesive and competent guide out there so I dont have to drop 80 bucks on this bad larry? http://www.amazon.com/Super-Metroid-Nintendo-Players-Strategy/dp/B000ID7EPI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368710363&sr=8-1&keywords=super+metroid+guide

I have never had issues with the 50Hz SNES cart or Wii VC version, but I'll give it a bit of a play and see whether that repeated frame thing is noticable.
Well, we know we all have our problems with VC price....
But the whole VC menu is great. The button mapping menu, so simples, yet something that took so much time to be just right
Im playing with my procontroler and it feels great
I turn off the gamepad screen, but it is kind of an annoying process. You have to hit home, 2 other screens, one confirmation, so you can finally turn off the gamepad. Then you put it on the couch, it hits RL and the screen pops up again.
The gamepad needed an of/off switch...

It's like a poor man's GBA Metroid scheme.
Now if only I could auto hold down the run button...

Only the pickiest of players will notice the problems with the EU copy. Unfortunately that's most Gaffers, myself included. If you could see what was wrong with Kirby's Adventure, you'll see it here too. If, however, Kirby was fine, then you have nothing to fear.
Anyway, off to aim for sub-1:30 clear time now!

THIS is why we should have gone with the 60hz versions all around.

So I've just played the initial section with Ridley and escaping, and I tried to notice any issues with repeated frames, and I honestly cannot.

Only because you admitted a bannable offense. Change it quickly,
Had a sneaking suspicion it was a bankable offence. Changed it quickly. I'm more of a lurker anyway so it would not be that much of a big deal.

Did you disable it?
I most likely did, It happened after I got the Missiles and used them.
I tried switching it again, but it didn't seem to work.
I can't test right now, but it could be that.
I could definitely feel it in kirby.

I really forgot how awesome this game is/was... Fired up my Wii U and downloaded it last night after I got home. Started playing it right away, got about 20-30 mins worth of playtime in before I had to break and help the wife with dinner, but those 20 someodd minutes were pure nostalgic bliss. I actually found myself letting the intro play through completely. So much atmosphere. So. Fucking. Good.
Played it for a little bit (up to the Morph Bomb). Didn't really notice any problems with the PAL version, but I'm really not very receptive to this stuff. Should be easily playable at least.
It's the first time I'll try a speed run on this game, what's a good time for a first run? Haven't played it since it was released on the Wii VC, so I might get lost quite a few times.

For EuroGaf, I've made a post on Miiverse asking for the 60Hz/US version and it's got 15 yeahs already. Here's the post itself https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAAC8UKELTtRnEQ (add yeahs please )
Anyhow, if the rest of you guys find it too off-topic we can take it to the 50Hz thread. I imagine a new post should be made daily with a link to it to up the yeahs. Let's do it Gaf, Andy Dufresne style!

Well you need to get under 3 hours for the best ending, so make that your first goal.
Me too, I played it at a friend's house and it was horribly noticeable for me, especially with the input lag it added. Not touching this 50Hz release then. Also after checking Miiverse and see that all Euro users are stuck with French/German subtitles with no way to disable them is baffling and another bullet point to why the NTSC English version should be available, if only as an option in the eShop page.

Yeah, just try and aim for that best ending first. Under 3 hours is a good time. You can probably aim for 1:30 without sequence breaking.
Either way, just submit times, folks, even if they're 'bad'! Let's fill up that board, GO GO GO.
This looks like it could be useful.

how is a CreditCard used on eShop? is it possible to add small transactions like $5?
