[hide]Prerequisites
To finish this run, you need to know how to:
- Mockball
- Infinite bomb jump
- Continuous walljump and/or horizontal bomb jump over the moat
- Mochtroid clip
- Gravity jump (entering Lower Norfair and accessing the top vertical door which connects Maridia to Red Brinstar - can be used to exit Draygon's chamber post-defeat, but is slower than double bomb jumping out)
- Zebetite skip with Ice Beam only
Collected Items
- Morphing Ball
- Bombs
- Charge Beam (for bosses)
- Ice Beam (for Zebetite skip, Mochtroid clip, and enemy climbing)
- Varia Suit (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
- Gravity Suit (to traverse Maridia and enter Lower Norfair)
- 3 Energy Tanks (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
- 2 Missile Packs (Awakening and Moat) (to open red doors and defeat MB1)
- 2 Super Missile Packs (Early and Wrecked Ship (Left)) (to open green doors and defeat MB1)
- 1 Power Bomb Pack (Red Brinstar Elevator (Lower)) (to open orange doors)
Route
PRKD is the optimal boss order for many of the same reasons as for Any%, although the advantage of doing Kraid after Ridley comes mostly from ammo management reasons as a result of not picking up Speed Booster.
PKRD is the next-most optimal order, with the advantage as with Any% of having both Varia Suit and Kraid's E-Tank for Lower Norfair.
For runners looking to complete the category, a KPRD boss order allows for fighting Phantoon with Varia, and up to 3 energy tanks, making it much easier to survive the fight.
If you have 3 e-tanks upon entering Maridia, you will need to skip the Botwoon e-tank by sinking partway into the sand to go under the first set of Speed Booster blocks and then jumping up into the morph tunnel.
Tutorials
Zoast - The beginning of the tutorial can also be applied to PRKD any% and 14% Speed, but the tutorial does not explain certain techniques such as the in-room moat CWJ setup, Phantoon doppler, Ice Shield on Ridley/Draygon, and elevator pause as it was created before these techniques were developed.
Overfiendvip - Uses his and zoast's runs to explain strategic changes that have been made to the category since 2014.
