Discovery in "Metroid"

Recently, thanks to the Metroid Password Generator, I rushed through Tourian in record time and I got a new ending scene that I've never seen before:

And I was just like this:
Moving platform swinging up for Mega Man to land on it

[That's not safe for work. --MOD]

Maybe you should go to level 6 of Battletoads and ride snakes (and leave us alone for good).

You're a day early.

Wow, sir; that is an amazing discovery...

You must have the extremely rare version of the cart with the word "caution" underlined on the back. Only SEVEN are known to exist in the wild! Here's some advice: hold on to it, get it appraised, and don't sell it until you can get AT LEAST 5000 thousand. AT LEAST. Don't walk out on a lime on this one!

Sure, if you beat one version fast enough, you get Ms. Aran in a bikini. But what kind of completion time did you get in order to get the bikini to disappear?

(Or is it just an AFD joke?)

A mod should change the original message to read that he found secret worlds in Metroid (the ones that have been known about for ages), along with screenshots showing these "new" discoveries.

At least JohnJohn's nudity fixation has become NES-related this time. But be very careful, JohnJohn: I brought my banhammer. If you can't give a good reason behind this post, I have no choice but to declare you unconstructive.

Is it OK if I post an ASCII preview of those NSFW pictures? A mod can remove it if it's not OK: (.)(.)

I don't know how long it took. It was done with a "perfect run" password from the "Metroid Password Generator": Start in Tourian, all items collected and even Mother Brain defeated (yes, it's possible to choose that in the Password Generator, so you can just pass and don't have to fight her), but the clock still at 0 seconds when starting to play. (So, it's a password that you could never get during normal gameplay.) And then go straight through Tourian and don't lose any unnecessary time. And bam: Nude Samus. Probably a little gag by the programmers since they knew that no-one would ever find it out. Well, they didn't think of emulators.

I never claimed to have found a new world. Except of course, if with "new world" you refer to Samus' vajayjay.

What good reason do you want? I went through the game (well, the last level) and got this ending. Since I've never heard of that ending, I posted it here.

P.S.: Did you note that, although the game was made in the 80s where women were rather bushy, they already foresaw today's trend of women shaving "down there". I mean, the foundation of the Galactic Federation takes place in 2000 and "Metroid" takes place in 20X5. So, if 20X5 is 2005 or 2015 or if this trend doesn't change in the next decades, they did a really good job with their prediction.

I'll be posting a link that debunks this shortly. I just need time for VirtualDub to save the AVI...

Samus naked?

No, but she might as well be - stupid people exploiting her all the time. I liked it better when she was a red head:

where's my pics?!

I admit Nintendo were as stupid as John John whenever they decided to put at striptease at the end of Metroid - worst fan service ever seen in any game ever. They probably through that with their idiot "health start at 30" system they would prevent anyone from ever finishing the game and see it.
