"Few months ago it took me 35 hours with 1200+ deaths. We beat it deathless today in 2:19!" - from Oats' Twitter
This is one of the most skillful and exhilarating runs I've seen of any game, ever. It has everything; A likeable runner with entertaining commentary and fun chat interaction, a ton of difficult tech and speed tricks, several near-death moments (including a drop to a single point of health) and a photo finish of 2:19:59.9 for the sub 2:20.
To give you an idea of how hard this hack actually is: No one has ever attempted this before. 99% of players would struggle even getting out of Ceres station in the allotted 16 seconds, and that's one of the easiest and most straight-forward parts of the game. Past that, the difficulty ranges from just extreme to utterly absurd.
I would highly recommend watching the run in its entirety so you can fully appreciate this accomplishment, but I understand most people won't have the time or patience for that. So please, if you can spare just three minutes, I urge you to only watch the most difficult part of the game - the acid maze. It really speaks for itself. Be aware that the skull in the top left is not a re-skinned E-Tank, but a death counter. You're stuck at 99 energy for the entire game.
All things said, absolutely crazy stuff and big props to Oats for being determined/insane enough to grind for this. Having reached his goal in Kaizo, he plans on running 100% item completion for the regular Super Metroid again, and I'm sure he has a shot at the WR now, considering all the practice he's gotten.
