Metroid Prime Chozo Ice Temple
Metroid Prime is a heavily-mutated Metroid and the primary antagonist/final boss of the first Metroid Prime game. The exact origins of this creature are unknown, but it was prophecized by the Chozo colonists of Tallon IV that an entity from the stars would collide with their world, bringing with it a Great Poison that would corrupt and destroy all life. When you get back to the Chozo Ice Temple, three Pulse Bombus will have appeared. Now it's time to try out the Wave Beam properly. Lock onto a Bombu, charge it up then fire. The blast will completely destroy the Pulse Bombu, but watch out as they'll fly straight at you when you use the Charge Beam.

10-segment speed run of Metroid Prime completed on December 9, 2007 collecting all items in what is thought to be an order intended by the game's designers - a so-called 'natural route run'. Available in low, normal, high and insane quality.Author's commentary:This run is not a real speedrun, it is very sloppy and crappy, it is as sloppy done as my natural route low% 29% 1:53. I didn't care about it and i wasn't even really trying.
I just wanted to make a video of my new route; i have designed a new route for Natural Route 100% runs which should be the fastest while getting the major items and artifacts in order. I wanted to publicise my new route and to present it to you and i thought it would be easier for you to figure it if you watch a video of it so that's the reason why i made this crappy video.
Don't take my video as a speedrun but take it as a help and a guide to try it seriously on your own. I want somebody else to do a proper Natural Route 100% run by using my new route. I think if someone does an optimal Natural Route 100% run which is about as good as my proper Natural Route any% 1:30 he would probably get something about 1:50, i think the optimal time for a natural route 100% run would be about 1:50, 12 minutes faster than my sloppy 2:02. This route can also be used for a natural route 100% run on PAL version, it's the same route. So if you rather like to do it on pal you can still use my new route for it.
I'm not sure about the optimal time for a PAL Natural Route 100% run but i'm pretty sure it would be something around 1:55 to 2:00. There is something that needs to be cleared: I have also written a room-by-room Walkthrough here in my commentary and in my commentary i have written that you can get the missile expansion in Quarantine Monitor just when you beat Thardus by using the ghetto jump trick that pirate109 used in his pal 100% 1:30 so you don't have to go to quarantine cave again later and you would save a few seconds. But in my video you will see that i didn't do that. In my video i collected that missile later on the final phendrana cleanup part, because i found that ghetto jump trick just too hard and i didn't bother trying to use it in my video because i didn't think it would be worth it and i didn't want to spend more than a few days both on my natural route 100% and my natural route 29% videos so i rushed through them and i didn't care about time. I just wanted to finish the natural route runs as soon as possible and not as fast as possible, because i wanted to send my important (serious) speedruns as soon as possible to nate and i wanted to finish them all before 2008.Now here you can also read my walkthrough as an additional guide to my video, so with my video and my room-by-room walkthrough you get an optimal help and guide to figure out my new route. Good luck on doing a proper and beatiful Natural Route 100% run. Oh and by the way, please keep in mind that you mustn't only collect the major items (suit upgrades) in order but you must also collect the chozo artifacts in order.
The Artifacts also count as major items since they are relevant to finish the game. Maybe you think: how do I know what's the right order for the chozo artifacts? Well that's quite simple, the order of the artifacts is logical and their order is derived from the order of the suit upgrades (aka real major items).Example: in a real speedrun you can get the artifact of elders in control tower before you get the plasma beam, but you still know that the designers's intention was to get the plasma beam before artifact of elders. They intended that you're not able to get the artifact of elders without plasma beam.
With a sequence break you could get the artifact earlier but you know the right order would be to collect the plasma beam first and then get the artifact of elders later when you have plasma, and that's what you do in a natural route run. So that's how you find out about the right order of the artifacts. Just think about which upgrade you would 'usually' need to get the artifact you want.And about the minor items/expansions(missile expansions, power bomb expansions, energy tanks, and beam combos(except super missile)) you don't have to worry about the minor items.You can collect them in any order you like, 'cause they are unimportant items. 1st off the title for these videos are: Metroid Prime No SB (SB stands for sequence breaks). There are sequence breaks in the run, ghetto jumps and the likes. I found it funny how he made sure to grab the space jump boots properly though still used the same trick to grab it.
At 9:00-9:47 of part04 he grabs a missile expansion which you would usually need the power bomb to start this puzzle sequence. From 10:00-10:37 of part 4, you see him go for a missile expansion without activating the puzzle pops in and out of the map but the camera angle didn't show it at around 10:31-10:33. The worse was when he grabbed a 'power bomb extension' at 18:30-19:20 of part 4 without getting the 'power bomb upgrade' first.that is the literal definition of a sequence break man! After this point I stopped watching, this is another shitty hack-run abd it seems like the idea of a legit run has been corrupted by speed/hack-runners who need to justify their wasted time on glitch-runs.
