This is my latest TAS of Super Metroid, and it improves the last 100% TAS by about 2 minutes and 30 seconds of realtime, or about 1 minute and 50 seconds ingame. It uses a slightly altered route devised by hero of the day, which involves running through parts of norfair without a suit, and putting of wavebeam until after Ridley. The new route saved over 10 seconds.

Other major improvements are the torizo skip which saves around 21 seconds, and the glitched mother brain battle wihch saves around 15 seconds. All the rest of the time is saved by using better room strategies, having a higher general level of optimization, and optimizing door transitions for realtime.

NOTE: Optimizing doors for realtime might often look weird and slow, jumps and such before and through doors are made to reduce the time it takes from entering a door until you get into the next room.

For those interested below is a detailed explanation on all the improvements made over the last run, you should preferably read this before asking questions.
