Inspired by Twitch Plays Pokémon, a Twitch account allowed viewers to play Super Metroidby inputting commands into the chat and it only took the community 536 hours and 14 minutes to beat the game. There were *cough* a few game overs and quite a lot of staring at maps and standing still, but the gang did it.

The 1994 SNES game Super Metroidis a pretty challenging platformer for first-time players, requiring precise jumping and well-aimed shots to make it all the way to the final escape sequence. Using crowdsourced controls to beat the game was a quite a feat considering how many people were trying to play at some times.

Here's an example of some of the heartbreaking moments that happened over an over when the controls just didn't quite match completely what the viewers wanted.

For some successful chunks of the game, the chat looked like this, with one person taking control of Samus with a series of commands:

It's kind of a miracle that the game was actually completed.

Meanwhile, the normal, any % speedrunning record for Super Metroidis 41 minutes and 23 seconds, done by Zoast. The Twitch community needs to cut down its runtime by about 535 hours and 30 minutes to be in contention for a record.
