Metroid II, Prime Get New Speed Run Records

PrinceBrightstar writes "Both the Metroid Prime pure speed run and the Metroid II 100% completion speed record have been shattered by Zoidi and Brightstar (myself) respectively. The Metroid Prime (GameCube) pure speed record is now 1hr 17mins, and the Metroid II (GameBoy) 100% is now set at 1hr 12mins, with further decreases planned - these records were recorded into video form and no emulators were used." We've previously covered Metroid Prime 'speed runs', which are an extension of classic Quake speed runs.

Nintendo Power Arena anyone? Much better known than this site, though granted you only have a month to do the challenge at best, which is certainly less time than I spent doing my serious SM speed run, and I spent a long time getting a feel for the game first.
Though, speed runs didn't used to be as popular. I know I didn't get interested in them at all until (believe it or not) 1998 and Warioland 2. Can anybody beat 2:45? Does anybody have a clue what I'm talking about? *sigh*
