Any% KPDR

If you have Spazer, you can fire three beam shots, or one charged shot, to kill each Dessgeega.

Without Spazer, you can fire a shot and a missile to kill each one. Alternatively, you can avoid using missiles with the Screwball, a strat created by Dbx. Pseudo-screw through the first one, and use that jump to mockball under the second one.

Randomizer

With Speed Booster and no Hi Jump, you can make it up this room with a shinespark, or with a speedy jump like this:

12%

To get up here, since you have no Bombs unlike other Low% categories, there are two methods. One is a very tough walljump-morph off of the left wall that boosts off of the Nova. This is the method shown in Sniq's videos. The other method uses Reserve Tank auto-refill to allow the invulnerability frames to run out, allowing a bomb jump to be combined with the Nova boost to get you to the top.

Various TASes have used a tight set of walljumps to get up that wall without the help of any items, but this strat is unlikely to be viable for humans.
