    For the record, I AM impressed that a grown man beat a 40 year old game made for children

    Star Tropics NES without a guide, is impossible. But it&apos;s super cool why.

    The cut to you with disheveled hair explaining how long it took to find that last missile tank was the cherry on the cake. 😅

    As someone who played the NES a million times and know it inside out, this was funny to watch. Decent job for a first time player.

    big ups to you for beating this one man, it&apos;s brutal! I don&apos;t think I would&apos;ve stuck it out even if I did have a guide. This challenge series is so much fun to watch. I couldn&apos;t stop laughing at Jimini being summoned for the Ridley fight lmao. Look forward to seeing the next one! And of course, great editing as well. The SFX are on point

    I love that you used the instruction manual too. &nbsp;That&apos;s something a lot of people challenging themselves to these older games seem to skip, but we DID have manuals.

    Love to see you actually enjoying the game. With anger, surprise, excited, and proud. Love it. ❤️

    Well done! NES Metroid was the very first video game I ever beat, way back in 1988. I have lost count of how many times I have played through the game. Even in 2026, the amount of times I have played through it rests somewhere in the double digits.<br><br>I am always up for playing through a quick run of the game. Always a good test for memory, to remember where everything is. Both the Ice and Wave Beams, all of the other pickups, all 8 energy tanks, and 255 missiles. Thanks for the video, xwater! I even add hunting down Fake Kraid to my hit list.
