14% Ice is one of the in-bounds [[14%]] categories that have a known RTA completion. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using the [[Ice Beam]] and [[Gravity Suit]] for level progression.

==Prerequisites==
To finish this run, you need to know how to:
*[[Mockball]]
*Infinite [[Bomb Jump|bomb jump]]
*[[Continuous walljump]] and/or [http://www.twitch.tv/sweetnumb/v/41083555 horizontal] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJuA8TgUGpc bomb jump] over [[The Moat|the moat]]
*[[14%#Mochtroid Clip|Mochtroid clip]]
*[[14%#Techniques|Gravity jump]] ([[Lava Dive Room|entering Lower Norfair]] and accessing the [[Mt. Everest|top vertical door which connects Maridia to Red Brinstar]] - can be used to exit [[Draygon's Room|Draygon's chamber]] post-defeat, but is slower than double bomb jumping out)
*[[Mother Brain Room#Ice Beam (Low%)|Zebetite skip with Ice Beam only]]

==Collected Items==
[[Image:morphball.png]] [[Image:bombs.png]] [[Image:charge.png]] [[Image:ice.png]] [[Image:varia.png]] [[Image:gravity.png]] [[Image:etank.png]] [[Image:etank.png]] [[Image:etank.png]] [[Image:missiles.png]] [[Image:missiles.png]] [[Image:supermissiles.png]] [[Image:supermissiles.png]] [[Image:powerbomb.png]]
*[[Morphing Ball]]
*[[Bomb|Bombs]]
*[[Charge Beam]] (for bosses)
*Ice Beam (for Zebetite skip, [[Mochtroid]] clip, and enemy climbing)
*[[Varia Suit]] (to survive [[Mother_Brain#MB2|MB2's]] rainbow beam)
*Gravity Suit (to traverse Maridia and enter Lower Norfair)
*3 [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]] (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
*2 [[Missile]] Packs ([[List of Missiles#Brinstar 1|Awakening]] and [[List of Missiles#Crateria 2|Moat]]) (to open red doors and defeat [[Mother_Brain#MB1|MB1]])
*2 [[Super Missile]] Packs ([[List of Super Missiles#Brinstar 2|Early]] and [[List of Super Missiles#Wrecked Ship 1|Wrecked Ship (Left)]]) (to open green doors and defeat MB1)
*1 [[Power Bomb]] Pack ([[List of Power Bombs#Brinstar 1|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 ==

[http://www.twitch.tv/zoasty/v/46737316 Zoast] - The beginning of the tutorial can also be applied to [[Any%#PRKD|PRKD any%]] and [[14% Speed]], but the tutorial does not explain certain techniques such as the [[14%#Techniques|in-room moat CWJ setup]], [[Phantoon#Phantoon First|Phantoon doppler]], [[Charge Beam Combos#Ice Shield|Ice Shield]] on [[Ridley#14% Ice|Ridley]]/[[Draygon#14% Ice|Draygon]], and elevator pause as it was created before these techniques were developed.

[http://pastebin.com/qT8TUxKS Overfiendvip] - Uses his and zoast's runs to explain strategic changes that have been made to the category since 2014.

Record Progression

2025-04-17T21:55:57Z

Amh: /* 14% Ice */

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Any% GT Code]] were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For [[0%|Low% Glitched]] (and [[14%|low%]] categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains [[Moonwalk#Moonfall|moonfall]].

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

===Ancient History===

Prior to Smokey's 56:22 listed above, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the input movie files for only some of these runs are known to still exist. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

===Ancient History===
Prior to Red Scarlet's 0:55 listed below, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the websites hosting the demo files for those runs are no longer available. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

With the possible exception of Smokey's runs, all of the runs listed below were confirmed to be performed in multiple segments.

== 15% (Low% Ancient History) ==

Prior to the discovery of the Zebetite skip in July 2003, Kejardon completed a segmented 15% run, with the segments being recorded between March 2002 and January 2003.
The items collected were almost the same as a 14% speed run, except an additional missile pack was collected. Zebetites were destroyed one at a time with Missile refills in-between.
This run was recorded with ZSNES 1.30, and due to issues with ZSNES movie file (.zmv) playback, the final two segments do not play back properly.

[[Category:History]]

Record Progression

2025-03-03T12:36:40Z

Amh: met Edu's request to change a specific line

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Any% GT Code]] were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For [[0%|Low% Glitched]] (and [[14%|low%]] categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains [[Moonwalk#Moonfall|moonfall]].

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

===Ancient History===

Prior to Smokey's 56:22 listed above, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the input movie files for only some of these runs are known to still exist. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

===Ancient History===
Prior to Red Scarlet's 0:55 listed below, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the websites hosting the demo files for those runs are no longer available. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

With the possible exception of Smokey's runs, all of the runs listed below were confirmed to be performed in multiple segments.

== 15% (Low% Ancient History) ==

Prior to the discovery of the Zebetite skip in July 2003, Kejardon completed a segmented 15% run, with the segments being recorded between March 2002 and January 2003.
The items collected were almost the same as a 14% speed run, except an additional missile pack was collected. Zebetites were destroyed one at a time with Missile refills in-between.
This run was recorded with ZSNES 1.30, and due to issues with ZSNES movie file (.zmv) playback, the final two segments do not play back properly.

Crashes

2024-10-18T08:14:56Z

Amh:

Crashes are bugs that will force you to reset the game in order to continue.

Known crashes include:

* Gadora door freeze
* [[Yapping Maw]] / Shinespark interaction
* Breaking the tube to Maridia and leaving the room on the same frame
* spark bonking wall at varia (suit) touch
* walking into solid object (solid or frozen enemy or wall) in x-mode
* ballbounce and just before 2nd ball landing menu is entered to switch springball
* rt refill trigger in last frame before pause menu
* cf trigger in front facing standing pose at varia or grav animation
* transitioning while all 32 sprite slots are occupied (like at shaktool entering the left door fast after killing shaktool with wave plasma; or with bombing ki hunters for brown collision sprites)
* firing an uncharged murder beam shot
* firing a spazer+plasma shot
* firing Murder beam not horizontally leftwards
* firing a charged wave+spazer+plasma shot
* firing a charged ice+spazer+plasma shot
* using an SBA with spazer+plasma enabled
* touching, shooting, grappling, or powerbombing at a (touch- or shot-)crash block out-of-bounds
* touching zombie kraid (caused by 1 missile hit followed by 1 900 damage charged shot hit. zombie kraid is usually a softlock anyway)
* firing Chainsaw Beam at Metal Pirates while a power bomb explosion is active
* activating X-ray with many of the PLM values possible during the G-mode Save Station glitch

X-Ray Scope

2024-10-18T05:48:43Z

Amh:

{{Item info
|title=X-Ray Scope
|image=Xray.png
|location=[[X-Ray Scope Room]], [[Brinstar]]
|effect=Reveal the concealed, destroy game
}}

'''X-Ray Scope''' is used to scan walls and reveal secrets, such as hidden items or the invisible surfaces in the [[Blue Brinstar Boulder Room]]. The technical details for this are explained [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNe3FO3lefw&t=20m42s in this video].

X-Ray cannot be activated under these circumstances: Power Bomb explosion, fade-in or fade-out of a Pause, vertical speed different from zero (for example, while slopekiller is active), Grapple projectile active, Samus turning around, Moonwalk.

When [[Any% Glitched|major glitches are permitted]], X-Ray Scope is above and beyond the most powerful tool that can be used for completing the game due to its ability to, among many other things, modify memory values.

== Memory Corruption ==

There are several classes of memory corruption that are possible with X-Ray, all of which usually require being [[Out of Bounds]]. Samus' position, the screen's scroll position, and the vertical and horizontal direction of the X-Ray beam all factor into which memory addresses are affected.

As seen in [[Any% Glitched]], you can set the Escape Flag by activating X-Ray from a certain position in the [[Landing Site]] Out of Bounds area. As shown in Total's tutorial, if you fall down from the standard X-Ray activation area, you can still X-Ray upwards from the floor below, then navigate back inbounds.

You're also able to change the BTS value of blocks. This is used extensively in [[0%]], in the creation of the God Blocks, the creation of the Artificial Varia block, and turning the transition block in [[Cathedral Entrance]] into a valid one. This also happens if you X-Ray Climb with the block shuffler route in [[4%]], turning a harmless block in your path into a bad transition -- notably, this is the only known instance of being able to change memory while within the boundaries of the room, even if it's still outside of the room geometry (due to the concave nature of [[Landing Site]]).

There is also at least one known instance used where blocks themselves can be moved with X-Ray; the first portion of the Artificial Varia setup creates a "bridge" of solid blocks so that you can stand on it and complete the setup.

= Introduction =

Any% GT involves completing the game as fast as possible while utilizing the Golden Torizo code. ("[[Golden Torizo|GT]]" within the moniker of a category essentially means "uses Golden Torizo code"; usage is mandatory)

The Golden Torizo code provides Samus with 53% of items, which includes 100 [[Missile|Missiles]], 20 [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], 20 [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]], 7 [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]], 3 [[Reserve Tank|Reserve Tanks]], and all major items except [[Screw Attack]]. Since this includes every [[beam]] in the game, this allows the player to utilize a combination of beams ([[Charge Beam|Charge]]/[[Ice Beam|Ice]]/[[Spazer]]/[[Plasma Beam|Plasma]]) known as [[Space Time Beam]] to massively corrupt memory, including memory where the data for the current room is stored, essentially replacing the room with garbage data. Space time beam is applied, in conjunction with other weaponry, to create transitions out of this garbage data that can swiftly and safely transport Samus through entire rooms.

For a brief period of time, this category used to be the fastest method of completing the game, until it was discovered that you could use the [[X-Ray Scope]] in a similar manner to corrupt memory, including memory that tells the game whether the escape is triggered or not. That category is known as [[Any% Glitched]]. This category is still relatively close in terms of completion time, and simply achieves the same result in a different manner.

= Route =

The route is basically the same as [[14% Ice]] up to Power Bombs. The only difference up to that point in terms of items is that you do not acquire Charge Beam.

The [[Red Tower]] climb can be difficult, especially if you are used to performing it with some other form of beam, such as Charge, Wave, and/or Ice, since you will not have any of those to perform it with. An uncharged beam shot has a smaller hitbox and will despawn more easily, requiring you to [[walljump]] faster up the climb so that the shot may connect with the destructible block.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\red%20tower.mp4}}

Either that or you will want to first walljump up the climb in order to break the block, fall down, then walljump back up to complete the climb.

After obtaining Power Bombs, head to Kraid through the standard Red Brinstar path. Since you have Power Bombs, you can attempt a strategy in the [[Baby Kraid Room|Minikraid hallway]] that involves performing a kagoball through the first [[Green Space Pirate (standing)|Space Pirate]] to [[mockball]] through most of the room. The Power Bomb will destroy the Space Pirates in the process, and [[Mini-Kraid|Minikraid]] can be dispatched with either a Super Missile or two Missiles like normal. If you find that to be too difficult, you can alternatively take out the Space Pirates with regular Missiles (or Supers, depending on your ammo count and Kraid strategy), or you can fire a beam shot in the direction of the first Space Pirate to interrupt his attack in order to jump over the first two Space Pirates and lay a Power Bomb without the kagoball.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\minikraid%20kagoball.mp4}}

After obtaining the [[Varia Suit]] from Kraid, head to Norfair. You can opt to grab [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 1|Kraid's Energy Tank]] and/or the [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 1|Energy Tank before Hi-Jump Boots]] if you require them to survive the upcoming areas.

If you are obtaining [[Hi-Jump Boots]], you can wait to open the [[Sova]]-locked door until after obtaining Hi-Jump Boots. When coming back through the room, take the path below the Missile pack. You can lay a Power Bomb after walljumping up the vertical shaft and ball boosting through the Sova which will destroy the Sova and unlock the door. The Power Bomb should also hit the destructible blocks, creating a smoother exit.

Head to [[Bubble Mountain]] similar to any%. If you do not have Hi-Jump Boots, you will have to bomb jump up to one of the doors along the way. There is a save station to the left of Bubble Mountain. Take a detour south through the Power Bomb blocks to Lower Norfair. Refill your health and ammo in the [[Purple Farming Room|room to the right of the tall purple room]] if you need to. Energy and Super Missiles are the primary concern at this point. In the [[Magdollite Tunnel|Magdollite room]], immediately firing a Missile upon entering to take out the [[Multiviola]] will make whatever movement you perform afterward simpler.

Next comes the most difficult series of inputs to perform in this run. If you miss a walljump or are unintentionally struck by a fireball, it's probably game over. There is very little room for error here if you are performing the lava dive with Hi-Jump Boots and one Energy Tank, or if you are performing the lava dive without Hi-Jump Boots and with two Energy Tanks.

=== With Hi-Jump Boots ===

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\lava%20dive%20boots.mp4}}

* Align Samus with the edge of the horizontal section above the (open) door
* After taking approximately two running steps towards the door, press and hold jump
* After the transition, hold down - with proper timing, you should have entered the lava pool without losing any momentum
* Morph and hold left during the dive until you reach the far left [[Namihe]]
* Jump on top of the Namihe, making sure to avoid any fireballs in the way
* Walljump off of the Namihe above and let your momentum carry you to the right wall below the final Namihe
* Walljump in place until an opportune time (when there isn't a fireball in the way) to walljump towards the side of the top left platform near Ridley's maw

If you were not successful in executing the second step, there are a few in-room backup strategies you can perform that have similar results, that basically involve performing short hops facing down before entering the lava then carrying on the appropriate remaining steps.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\lava%20dive%20backup.mp4}}

=== Without Hi-Jump Boots ===

{{#ev:youtube|qmlSDfw8FXQ}}

For reference, skipping Hi-Jump Boots and performing lava dive with two Energy Tanks (Terminator and Kraid) can save approximately 20 seconds over obtaining Hi-Jump Boots and performing lava dive with only the Terminator Energy Tank. If you plan on skipping Hi-Jump Boots, make sure you are able to bomb jump up to the [[Cathedral Entrance|Cathedral entrance]] door relatively quickly, as it is one of the main ways you can lose potential time. If you perform a crouch jump, you can make it up to that particular door in only one double bomb jump.

There is a save station to the left of the elevator. After the elevator ride, head right into the [[Fast Pillars Setup Room|pre-pillar room]], then Power Bomb through to the bottom left door.

Up next is a finicky trick known as the [[Gate Glitch|Green Gate Glitch]]. Since you only have a maximum of five chances to activate the switch, consistency is vital in executing this trick.

After performing the gate glitch, try to damage boost off of the fleet of Rippers if you can, or Power Bomb them if you want to be safe. If you are able to gate glitch immediately upon entering the room, you can potentially jump, morph, and ball boost through them as a safe way to gain additional momentum.

Bomb your way down to Screw Attack, but do not pick it up. Here is where you will execute the wondrous [[Golden Torizo Code|Golden Torizo code]], or GT Code for short.

Once inside the chamber after executing the GT Code, open the item menu and unequip Wave Beam. Otherwise, [[Murder Beam|the game will crash immediately upon the beam being fired]].

== Space Timewarp #1 - Golden Torizo ==

'''Explanation'''

Charge space time. While charging, equip Super Missiles. Face left and perform a medium-sized jump. While descending, fire a Super Missile when Samus's cannon is aligned with the two square blocks above the door. When performed correctly, the game should stabilize after a Super Missile vibration effect, with Samus seemingly standing in midair. Morph and roll to the right. This should warp you into the Screw Attack room.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\gt%20skip.mp4}}

'''Error Correction'''

If you appear to have taken damage during the space time effect and are not warped, morph, roll to the right, and [[Spring Ball|spring]]. There is a chance that the game will warp you into the [[Acid Statue Room|Golden Torizo lava statue room's]] bottom right door without being stuck. From there, you can attempt the skip again.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\gt%20skip%20backup.mp4}}

----

== Space Timewarp #2 - Screw Attack ==

'''Explanation'''

Bomb away a section of the ceiling before charging space time, then charge space time. While charging, equip Super Missiles. Position Samus in the corner between the upper left portion of the lowered ceiling above the Golden Torizo entrance and the bird head ornament. Fire a Super Missile while aiming up+left then immediately turn around to the right. This should (if you were fortunate) warp you into the out of bounds of the [[Landing Site]], directly behind the door to the [[Gauntlet Energy Tank Room|Gauntlet]] area.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\screw%20wrong%20warp.mp4}}

Turning around to the right gives a slightly higher chance of being warped to this location and not crashing. Outside of Virtual Console, it is still possible for the game to crash in a few different ways when attempting this warp.

'''Error Correction'''

There isn't any known way to correct being sent to the green gate room instead of the out of bounds of the Landing Site due to how it sets you in that room, and how it sets you afterward in the next room even if you were able to escape into a nearby transition.

----

From this out of bounds location, morph and roll to the right to fall above the [[Parlor and Alcatraz|Parlor's]] transition location, and fall into the transition by moving left off of the ceiling, then holding right. Doing so should either put you in the [[Crateria Tube|connector tube]] between the Landing Site and the [[Crateria Keyhunter Room|pre-moat room]], which is ideal, or in the Parlor. The following clip is an example of a method you can use for acquiring the connector tube transition with decent consistency.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\connector%20tube%20wrap.mp4}}

In the event that you are sent to the Parlor instead, you can jump to the left and open the door to the Terminator room. Because of the geometry of the slope next to the door (as it is a copy of the room), you may need to mash jump while holding down and left to escape the slope and enter the room transition. Once inside, you can perform the same escape trigger that the [[100% GT|100% GT category]] uses as a backup (check that page for information on how to execute that trigger). You will want to execute it fairly quickly as the enemies in the room have the potential to crash the game (even in the short span needed to fall into the door transition after firing) as space time can generate crash blocks and many creatures in this room will move off-screen (note that on console, it can still crash regardless of enemies, just like any space time). Afterward, run to the Gunship, making sure to avoid the Energy Tank along the way.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\wrap%20fail%20backup.mp4}}

Upon reaching the pre-moat room, you can perform one of the following to trigger the escape:

== Space Timewarp #3 - Escape Trigger ==

There are many ways, depending on which platform you are playing on, to trigger the escape. Standard Method is listed because it is the trigger that many older players are more familiar with, but VC Method is currently the fastest known method with this route.

'''Standard Method'''

Align Samus against the longest piece of the ceiling that is extending down, then turn around to face left. Charge space time. While charging (do not let go of the fire button until the map screen has appeared), open the item menu and unequip every beam except for Charge Beam. Exit the pause screen while holding the fire button. While aiming up+left, unleash the charge once the game screen has reappeared. This should cause Samus to fall multiple screens before being damaged backwards into a transition, placing Samus halfway in the floor of the connector tube.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\escape%20trigger.mp4}}

This is the most commonly used method in early runs of this category. Taking out the [[Kihunter (yellow)|Kihunter]] on the right is recommended.

Works on all platforms.

'''VC Method'''

Place Samus slightly left of the edge of the second step to the right of the room. Charge space time. While charging (do not let go of the fire button until the map screen has appeared), open the item menu and unequip every beam except for Charge Beam. Exit the pause screen while holding the fire button. While aiming up+left, unleash the charge once the game screen has reappeared. After firing, wait about half a second, then hold right. This should cause Samus to fall multiple screens into a transition, dropping Samus back into the connector tube.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\escape%20trigger%202016.mp4}}

Virtual Console is unique in that many methods of triggering the escape that work on console, or emulators that utilize the bsnes core, do not work on it. On Virtual Console, many methods that work on other platforms will still warp you properly through the rooms, but will not trigger the escape. Additionally, for some reason, the escape is not able to be triggered on Virtual Console unless you release the shot while aiming up+left.

The positioning for this trigger is quite lenient, and the game stabilizes immediately upon firing the charge shot. You can basically hold right during most of the fall to land on the transition. This method saves a handful of seconds compared to Standard Method.

Works on all platforms.

'''Tube Warp'''

A warp can be done in the [[Crateria Tube]] room, which cuts the door transitions to and from [[Crateria Kihunter Room]], saving at least a handful of seconds. The method for SNES is unverified in a real console at this moment, but the following method works for emulators using bsnes accuracy core (details in the description): https://youtu.be/U_lqH_E-2Ds

For Spacetime stable platforms (VC, snes9x, bsnes performance/balanced, etc), upon arriving in the Tube room, start charging the Spacetime beam, turn left, and pause to turn off all beams except Charge beam; unpause and release to shot while holding angle-up. Samus will start to fall, hold the down button. When Samus crosses the tube for the second time, hold down+back to perform a [[downback]] and hit the door transition to [[Landing Site]].

{{#ev:youtube|VJ9g4U_FKB4}}

----

If you managed to successfully trigger the escape, demolish the blocks before the Gunship and enter it. Congratulations on completing this category.

= PAL =

All of the warps used in this category (should) work exactly the same on PAL, including those of the previous route before the Screw Attack wrong warp was discovered. The escape triggers work close to the same, as "VC Method" is exactly the same and "Standard Method" requires Samus to move forward a block's distance to fall into the transition as opposed to being knocked back into it after the fall.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\escape%20trigger%20pal.mp4}}

Not only is PAL able to complete the lava dive without Hi-Jump Boots, it can do so with only one Energy Tank since it does not need to exploit invulnerability with a fireball. Regarding the lava dive itself, it can be difficult to not lose momentum before or when entering the pool, and landing the walljump after transitioning from the top left Namihe to underneath the top right Namihe can be especially difficult.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\lava%20dive%20pal.mp4}}

Even though PAL is able to skip Bomb Torizo and able to perform the above lava dive without Hi-Jump Boots, due to the difference in frame rate compared to NTSC, PAL is presumably the slower of the two options, although it is unknown how much slower PAL actually is in comparison. Additionally, common NTSC strategies such as "Terminator" do not directly work on PAL, although there are potential alternatives that exist for rooms with altered enemy patterns.

PAL has reduced lag in general, most notably during Kraid and during a number of Power Bomb explosions.

{{#ev:youtube|Ei_9_yDVXlA}}

This video shows the "VC Method" from the farthest left you can stand and still have it work. It also shows the three different timings of the delay between letting go of the shot and holding right. Press right too soon and you'll end up on-screen, taking a spike hit. Jump and go left to hit the transition. Press right with the correct timing and you'll come on-screen just in time to hit the transition. Press right too late and you'll take a spike hit off-screen. Jump and go right to hit the transition.

Hitbox Manipulation

2023-08-25T22:48:50Z

Amh: video about angled crouch jumps

[[File:AllHitboxes.png|Crude Image]]

[[File:HotaHitboxes.png|Hotarubi's more and more hitboxes]]

As shown above, the size of Samus's hitbox varies based on the condition of her sprite. The most important detail is that the height of her down-aiming and [[spinjump]] hitboxes is considerably shorter than the height of her standing and normal jump hitboxes.

== Early Landing ==

When jumping to any platform (regardless of whether the platform is above, below, or level with Samus) in the spin-jumping or aimed-down position, it is possible to land earlier by extending your hitbox to full length. This is done by either pressing angle up/down or shooting.

Regardless of the platform's position, when Samus is jumping to any platform in a spinjump or while aiming down, it is possible for Samus to land earlier on the platform by extending her hitbox to its full length, which can be done by pressing either angle up, angle down, or firing a weapon.

== Grabs ==

When performing a spinjump, by pressing angle up, angle down, or firing a weapon once directly above a platform, Samus will break out of her spin and immediately land on the platform. This allows her to land on platforms earlier than normal and is known as '''ledgegrabbing'''.

Similarly, Samus can land on platforms that are above her even earlier by entering the down-aiming position during the ascent of the jump, which brings the bottom of her hitbox up slightly, and then extending her hitbox to normal length once level with the platform, which can be done simply by moving forward to break out of the down-aiming position. This is known as '''downgrabbing'''.

Downgrabs are considered more difficult to efficiently execute compared to ledgegrabs. Although performing downgrabs [http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#PlatformGrabbing as described on TASVideos] is the fastest option, it is extremely difficult to consistently perform them. It is considered much easier and more reliable to perform ledgegrabs where angle up or angle down is pressed once Samus has ascended slightly above the location of the platform.

Considering whether to downgrab or ledgegrab a platform requires analyzing the risk versus the reward involved. Similarly, considering which speed to grab the platform at requires a similar analysis. Although you can save additional frames by performing a more efficient ledgegrab onto a platform, and although there will be dozens of opportunities over the course of a speedrun to perform efficient ledgegrabs, there is always the risk that if you perform the ledgegrab inputs too early, you will miss the platform and fall.

Certain techniques such as the [[Colosseum#Halfie & Full Halfie|Full Halfie]] may require stronger consideration towards performing a downgrab. In this case, you would be potentially providing yourself more time with which to activate the [[shinespark]].

== Gap Skip ==

By running straight off of a ledge and pressing down to enter the down-aiming position, it is possible for Samus to clear gaps between tiles. The size of the gap she will be able to clear is primarily dependent on her [[Horizontal Speed|horizontal speed]] at the time of leaving the ledge.

Depending on your speed and the size of the gap in question, you may need to remain in the down-aiming position before releasing a forward direction to clear it.

{{#ev:youtube|6Y_zByY1mfU}}

== Downback ==

As downgrabs indicate, Samus will normally break out of her down-aiming posture any time a forward direction is pressed on the directional pad; however, it is possible to move forward while falling in the down-aiming position by pressing down and moving your thumb to down+back. (commonly referred to as a "diagonal" on the directional pad)

Although such input is counter-intuitive, there are multiple instances where downbacking allows Samus to squeeze through certain gaps without landing on platforms due to her compressed hitbox, thus maintaining her [[Vertical Speed|vertical speed]].

You are normally unable to downback after a jump or walljump; however, either taking damage (without [[damage boosting]]) or unmorphing will allow you to do so.

Examples of downbacking can be observed in the video below at 0:01 after running off the starting ledge, at 0:04 after unmorphing to smoothly clear the two blocks, and at 0:06 to pass by the last ledge.

{{#ev:youtube|lpxI9o0gDHk}}

== Crouch Jump ==

Samus will begin her jump eight pixels higher than normal if she is crouching before she jumps, effectively increasing jump height by 8 pixels and allowing her to grab onto platforms she may otherwise not have been able to grab onto.

The video below is an example of a distance between two platforms that is surmounted by assistance from a crouch jump and a downgrab.

{{#ev:youtube|aTbubkfc7iE}}

The eight pixels will NOT be granted if Samus's arm cannon is not in the neutral position when attempting to crouch jump, in other words, holding angle up or angle down and doing a crouch jump will not increase jump height; in fact, it will DECREASE jump height by 2 pixels compared to a standing jump. After the jump is initiated, the desired angle can be held without compromising the height.

The following demo shows how holding an angle can cripple your jump height.

{{#ev:youtube|EzC2Kv58GaY}}

== Checking ==

The following is a modification of the [http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#EnteringDoorsAndGettingItemsEarly description provided by TASVideos]:

When spinjumping forward, the game checks the tiles immediately behind Samus to see if she can wall jump, starting with the uppermost tile and moving down. If any solid tiles are found, the game stops checking and allows Samus to walljump.

The game considers Samus as touching any tiles checked, allowing her to trigger items and doors earlier by spinjumping and turning around right as the tile is within walljump check range. If an item that is to be collected requires Samus to turn around immediately after collecting it, using this technique can reach the item a bit faster.

This can also be utilized when entering doors that do not require momentum in the direction they are entered, such as rooms containing bosses.

It is also possible to check doors by having Samus collide with a ceiling or by having Samus break out of spin by pressing down and the direction opposite of forward. The latter is observable at the end of every [[Bomb Torizo]] skip performed in recent [[Tool Assisted Speedruns|tool assisted speedruns]], as it provides the fastest method with which to escape its chamber. These methods preserve [[Horizontal Speed|horizontal momentum]].

The maximum distance of a remote trigger pickup depends on Samus's velocity at the moment of the walljump check and can go as high as eight pixels away from the target.

== Edge Boost ==

Also known as "corner boost" and can be thought of as the opposite of ledgegrabbing, edge boosting is a technique that can be used to fall faster than normal. It is primarily performed in tool assisted speedruns.

When falling alongside a surface that ends, by aiming down and then immediately pressing left or right on the directional pad, Samus's position will be shifted a few pixels downward. In the case of pressing the directional pad towards the surface, this will allow Samus to pass under the surface faster.

This is possible because Samus's down-aiming hitbox has about half the height of her normal hitbox, and by pressing left or right, Samus restores her hitbox to full size and is immediately pushed down out of the boundaries of the surface she is colliding with.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Lar33xD-g&t=4m45s An example of a tool assisted speedrun] that performs many edge boosts in the [[Climb]].

It is also possible to perform an edge boost by breaking a spinjump when Samus is directly under an edge. This is more feasible for humans without tools and can be utilized in rooms such as the [[Green Pirates Shaft]].

This technique is the most effective at the beginning of a jump or fall. At Samus's full downward speed, she may fail to be pushed down if she falls too fast for her hitbox to extend towards the boundaries of a surface.

'''Zebetite Skip - July 9, 2003'''

Player Pogo708 unknowingly skips the Zebetites. That event triggers further exploration of the glitch by deskjockey_, Ultima4701 and Kejardon.

At first, deskjockey_ stucks Samus in the Zebetite with a diagonal shinespark and Ultima4701 manages to finish the skip with Grapple (Speed+Grapple Zeb skip);

later, Ultima4701 finds a way to jump through the Zebetite without the need of Grapple (Speed Zeb skip);

at last, by understanding the mechanics of this Zeb skip, Kejardon develops the method of freezing a Rinka with Ice Beam and uses i-frames to get stuck inside the Zebetite (Ice Zeb skip).

This run also came with this comment about another discovery in the game:

Finally, the trigger that makes Zebes explode is simply entering the room behind Mother Brain - all Mother Brain does is set the timer that kills you. It's a random tidbit of trivia I've only now had the chance to put to use.

Room State 2

[[File:Shaktool_room%2C_state_2.png|x300px]]

The memory flag for the sand being cleared is set when Samus crosses to the right side of the sand. For this purpose, Shaktool's progress of digging does not matter.

{{#ev:youtube|Omul5Ev9PiM}}

== Lag Reduction ==

You can reduce powerbomb lag by taking damage to Shaktool. The amount of lag can be significantly affected by the exact timing of the hit; you can get up to 20 frames extra lag by being 20 frames too early, since the blinking from the invulnerability will end prematurely. You want to take the hit right as the lag would begin otherwise.

Cutting out the splash effects from entering and leaving the water can also help reduce lag, so taking the hit while running, then quickly morphing, seems to work best for humans, as opposed to simply rolling into Shaktool.

{{#ev:youtube|75wXq1juH7Y}}

== Sound Delay Removal ==

Going through the door transition while Shaktool is still digging sand blocks can add sound delay to the transition.

This can be mitigated by destroying Shaktool once its job is done. Care must be taken to damage [[Shaktool]] and its wheels appropriately, as they work in an unintuitive way.

{{#ev:youtube|2rQjQelUNEA}}

== Grapple Speed Up ==

Spamming Grapple in certain ways can speed up [[Shaktool]] by changing the shape of its arm.

===Health===

Shaktool is made out of two enemies and five link pieces. If any of the two enemies die, Shaktool dies.

There is the "air enemy" and the "ground enemy", each with its own 300 health. While Shaktool is moving, the wheel on the ground corresponds to the "ground enemy" and the wheel doing the arc in the air corresponds to the "air enemy". Once the wheel in the air lands, it will now correspond to the "ground enemy" while the wheel that will start moving will now correspond to the "air enemy". Therefore, it is not important to keep track of each wheel individually, only if a wheel is in the air or on the ground.

===Drops===

It is possible to get a handful of drops from Shaktool by destroying its many parts at once, such as with a well placed Shinespark Echoes.

===Speed Up===

The use of the Grappling Beam can speed up Shaktool. Even though shooting Grapple stuns Shaktool briefly, if done correctly it can also push its arm enough to make the digging wheel land a few pixels further than usual. The video bellow shows an example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqdAZTbqIK4&t=39s

Wrap-around Shot

2023-07-23T23:31:42Z

Amh: /* Tutorials */

A shot that travels out-of-bounds can exhibit strange behaviors such as "wrapping around" to another part of the room. The exact behavior depends on the direction the shot is traveling, the layout of the room in memory, and quirks of the game's projectile collision detection. The most common application involves firing a beam shot diagonally off the far right side of a room to open a door that is on the far left side of a room.

To understand wraparound shots it's helpful to know how room tiles are stored in memory. Every room is stored one row after another, in the same order that you read (English) text on a page: left-to-right then top-to-bottom. For example, consider the [[Plowerhouse Room]]:

[[File:PlowerhouseRoom.png|x256px]]

The middle portion of the room is stored like this in memory:

[[File:PlowerhouseRows.png]]

If we can take advantage of a bug to "trick" the game into reading past the end of a row, it will therefore read from the beginning of the next row. This is the basic idea behind a wraparound shot.

Note that a shot will despawn once it goes fully offscreen, so wraparound shots require the front side of the beam to be out-of-bounds while the back side is onscreen. Naturally, this is easier with a longer beam, so enabling [[Spazer]] or [[Plasma Beam|Plasma]] or firing a [[Charge Beam|charged shot]] may be required for some setups. Wave beam is always required to perform a wraparound shot, since a non-wave shot will collide with a wall before going out of bounds. Also note that a wraparound shot only interacts with tiles, and not enemies.

== Right to Left Wraparound ==

A shot that is traveling diagonally off the right side of the room will wrap around to the next row and interact with tiles on the left side of the room. This is commonly used to open doors in order to shinespark through them:

{{#ev:youtube|79Zmx8eLdkc}}

{{#ev:youtube|LkkEK5-9Nno}}

{{#ev:youtube|Zl16u8Bs6aM}}

It experiences the most use in categories involving a large amount of item collection, such as [[100%|100% Items]], [[100% Map Completion|100% Map]], and [[RBO|Reverse Boss Order]]. The two rooms where this is primarily performed are the [[Landing Site]], to open the door leading to the [[Gauntlet Energy Tank Room|Gauntlet Energy Tank]] so that Samus can [[shinespark]] through towards it, and [[Crocomire's Room]], to open the door leading to [[Post Crocomire Power Bomb Room|his Power Bombs]] so that Samus can shinespark or [[Space Jump]] through towards it.

Beams disappear as soon as they are off-screen, so the beam must be at full width as it reaches the edge of the screen in order to trigger the door. You should hear the sound of the door opening if performed correctly.

* [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/207533150 WildAnaconda69] tutorial for Plasma wrap-around
* TarThoron's and antimatterhorse's image guide of the cues for the upper Landing Site wraparound, shown by beam combination.

[[File:Wraparound.png|256px]]

== Left Side Wraparound ==

A shot fired diagonally off the left edge of a room triggers an underflow that causes the shot to wrap around exactly 4095 tiles forward in memory, or 16 screens (minus one tile). The underflow affects the entire beam -- not just the off-screen portion -- so a sufficiently wide beam will interact with a few tiles further to the right as well. This only has an effect in sufficiently large rooms, as the shot has no effect if the underflow places it entirely beyond the room's tile data.

A left side wraparound can be used to open the door from [[Green Brinstar Main Shaft]] to [[Green Brinstar Beetom Room]] before falling all the way down the shaft. Since this room is 4 screens wide, shifting 16 screens forward in memory is equivalent to 4 screens downward. Therefore, a diagonal shot that passes through the red door to [[Green Brinstar Firefleas Room]] will hit the blue door at the bottom of the shaft.

== Ceiling Wraparound ==

This is an extremely specific trick with very strange effects. It only works in rooms that are 8 screens wide (such as [[Frog Speedway]] or [[Crocomire's Room]]), and the beam shot must travel diagonally upwards through the ceiling on the right half of the room.

To understand its conditions and effects, it helps to look at the code. The bug lies within [https://patrickjohnston.org/bank/94#fA352 this routine], which checks for collisions between a projectile and all the tiles along its forward edge (i.e. the left edge if it's travelling left, or the right edge if it's travelling right).

If the projectile's Y position is -1, its tile Y position is computed as 0xFFF. This truncated to 0xFF before multiplying by the room width, which is 0x80 for an 8-screen-wide room. The result of the multiplication is 0x7f80; we then add the projectile's X position in tiles and multiply by 2 to get a byte index of A = (0xFF00 + X*2). This is an entirely nonsensical value, and the collision-handling routine at $A1B5 recognizes this as out-of-bounds and does nothing.

However, when we add the room width to advance to the next row, things get weird. If the tile X coordinate is greater than 0x40 (so A is 0xFF80 or greater), the first ADC instruction overflows to an in-bounds value and sets the carry flag -- which causes the second ADC (the line marked BUG) to add an extra 1 (since the developers didn't bother to reset the carry flag as they didn't expect this to ever overflow). Since each tile is 2 bytes, this extra byte offset causes the code to end up misaligned in the tile data and incorrectly interpret part of the tile graphics data as block type information.

The only known application of this is the Speedless Speedway technique to traverse [[Frog Speedway]] right-to-left without speed booster. Exploiting this bug in Frog Speedway causes the routine to interpret tile graphics data in the ceiling as a large number of respawning shot blocks, which can be used to overload PLMs.

G-Mode Save Station

2023-04-24T14:42:29Z

Amh: /* Relevant Locations */

During [[G-Mode]], the game behaves in some ways as though X-ray scope were still active. The most noticeable are that the game does not process PLMs or projectiles. Stepping on a save station in G-Mode, and subsequently activating X-Ray to leave G-Mode, can execute a wide amount of code, most often crashing the game if done blindly, but can grant Samus any item in the game. This is used in the [[Glitched RBO]] world record route to obtain Gravity Suit.

== Functioning ==

The game stores lists for each PLM, located in bank $84, of pointers to functions, and arguments for those functions. These are called instruction lists. There is a section of RAM from $1D27 through $1D76 where the game loads these pointers for running functions related to processing PLMs. For the save station, the pointer is loaded into $1D75 (the game starts at the top of this range and works downwards. Since save rooms have two PLMs that are processed when entering the room: first the door, and then the save station). In G-Mode PLMs aren't processed, and when Samus steps on the save station, $1D75 starts increasing by $02 every other frame, starting with whatever PLM instruction the game was last trying to execute. When entering a save room, $1D75 will contain $AFEC, which is a pointer to a sleep instruction (save station does nothing until Samus attempts to interact with it).

After stepping on a save station in G-Mode, and X-Ray is activated, and G-Mode left, the game will look at whatever value is in $1D75, and interpret those two bytes as a location of a pointer in bank $84. For collecting items, you'll need to stop on a correct byte in order to be granted the item (see list below). Every item in the game has three variants: normal, hidden, and in a chozo orb; and either of these will work for obtaining the item. However, the instruction lists for these variants are so far apart in the ROM that it is irrelevant. Therefore, using the one that appears first in the ROM (the normal, not hidden or orb variant) makes the most sense. The game will either crash or do something else unexpected if X-Ray is not pressed in the two-frame window. It can also matter how long the dash button is held down to activate X-Ray.

It is also possible to spawn energy refill and map stations (though unusable as they will spawn too close to the floor, on the left tile of the bottom of the save station), Samus Eaters (Vileplumes), shot blocks, door caps, and basically any other PLM. It is also possible to execute a lot of other code, with mostly unknown or undocumented results (or most likely, a crash).

== Executing ==

The save station platform is made of 2 blocks, the one on the right is solid, while the one on the left is the PLM block. There are two ways to stand on the save station platform to make the PLM value change:

# land solely on the left block to make the PLM value advance by 2 every frame: AFEC, AFEE, AFF0, AFF2, AFF4, AFF6, ...
# land in the middle of the platform, which makes the PLM value advance by 2 every 2 frames: AFEC, AFEE, AFEE, AFF0, AFF0, AFF2, AFF2, AFF4, AFF4, AFF6, AFF6, ...

Given a certain wanted value, say E2F6, the number of values between that and AFEC is 330A, or 13066 in decimal. For 1), those values are covered twice per frame, so it takes 6533 frames to reach the address wanted, and it is a frame-perfect trick. For 2), it takes twice as long to reach that same value, 13066 frames, but it has a 2-frame window since the next frame would also have the same value. Landing in the proper position can be made easier using normalized movement, such as a buffered spin jump or using a bomb.

To end G-mode and execute the value, X-ray must be activated. For case 1), the X-ray activation can be done right there on top of the block, and the correct value will be run provided the correct frame. For case 2), due to the collision oscillator and possibly other reasons, activating X-ray in the middle of the platform can execute the next value sometimes; therefore, it is recommended to jump out of the platform in the correct frame, and only then activate X-ray (alternatively, hold an angle in the correct frame, walk off the platform, and only then activate X-ray). To properly activate X-ray or jump, visual cues can be used, like auto-firing shots or using a timer; reaction time and input delay matter, which means going for some frames earlier.

Activating X-ray for exactly 4 frames can have unintended consequences, like spawning extra (including bad-transition) blocks out of bounds. For most uses, it is recommended to activate X-ray for more than 4 frames.

== Relevant Locations ==

In RAM, $1D27 through $1D76 are related to this glitch, though $1D75 seems to be the more relevant address. After entering the room, its value stays at 'AFEC' (hexadecimal).

=== Pointer locations for collecting items ===

When watching $1D75 in RAMwatch, it should contain the following location in order to obtain the item

<nowiki>
Energy Tank $E0B6
Missile $E0D6
Super Missile $E100
Bomb $E152
Charge Beam $E180
Ice Beam $E1AE
Hi-Jump Boots $E1DC
Speed Booster $E20A
Wave Beam $E238
Spazer $E266
Spring Ball $E294
Varia Suit $E2C8
Gravity Suit $E2F6
Plasma Beam $E358
Grapple Beam $E386
Space Jump $E3B8
Screw Attack $E3E6
Morphing Ball $E414
Reserve Tank $E442
</nowiki>

=== Out of Bounds ===

Some of the values will promote big "block-shuffles", which effectively puts Samus OoB and spawns a bunch of different blocks. This can be used, for example, in [[Any% Glitched]]. Some of the earlier values that can be used for this are: B020, B022, and B024.

TODO: add other pointer locations that are known to at least do something other than crash, or potentially could do something useful.

Any% Glitched

Any% Glitched allows any and all glitches in order to complete the game in the fastest possible manner. This generally involves getting [[Out of Bounds]] and triggering the Escape Zebes sequence. Early runs of this category used the [[GT Code]] to acquire the necessary items to use [[Spacetime Beam]], but with the discovery of [[X-Ray Scope|X-Ray]] memory corruption, getting OoB with X-ray turned out to be the fastest way of finishing the game. The method of completing the game with GT code spun off into its own category, [[Any% GT Code]].

== X-Ray Climb Route ==

The beginning until [[X-Ray Scope]] is basically the same as [[Golden Torizo|GT]] categories - [[Morphing Ball]], [[Bomb|Bombs]], [[Missile|Missiles]] (one pack), [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]] (one pack), [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]] (one pack), and (optionally) one [[Energy Tank]] are acquired, and are the only items acquired, before traversing the [[Red_Brinstar_Fireflea_Room|X-Ray hall]] and acquiring the X-Ray Scope. Keep in mind that [[Charge Beam]] is not required at all for this category.

Upon entering [[Red Tower]], go up and grab the [[Power Bomb (Alpha)]] pack. Make sure to farm so that you have full health before the X-Ray hall. Damage boost your way through the room with the help of the [[Waver]]s in the room. After getting the [[X-Ray Scope]], you can either wait for the Wavers to appear before you (safe strategy), or you can jump straight out after the fifth fade-in that you can see in the background (faster).

After X-Ray, climb up Red Tower again and get all the way up to the ship. Make sure to fill up on Super Missiles. Get in the [[Parlor]] and wait for the [[Geemer (blue)]] to get in position, then fire off a Super Missiles and run through the door.

If you're successfully stuck inside the door, perform an [[X-Ray Climb]] until you reach the above tile on the map. Morphing Ball can be turned off as it makes the X-Ray Climb a bit safer, but make sure to turn it on after you're done X-Ray Climbing.

Once you're done with the X-Ray Climb, you need to navigate through the out-of-bounds blocks to reach a certain location, then activate X-Ray Scope. This will change memory values, including the flag for the escape sequence. Then you can jump into a transition block to [[Crateria Power Bomb Room]], run out of the room back into [[Landing Site]], and enter the ship to complete the run.

{{#ev:youtube|kb4GjC4AQEw}}

The memory flag will be set more quickly if you X-Ray left for a second or two before turning right, as opposed to X-Raying to the right. This is due to lag, so in either case, you can time it based on waiting until Samus' visor has flashed four times.

{{#ev:youtube|kTB4Y-Sktxs}}

== Doorskip and WR Route==

The [[doorskip]] technique allows Samus to go OoB by using precise pause and hitbox manipulation while falling into a door transition. The current World Record uses a [[doorskip]] in the transition between [[Parlor]] and [[Climb]] in order to go to [[Landing Site]] followed by [[Crateria Power Bomb Room]], where [[Power Bombs]] is picked up as the first item. It proceeds down to collect [[Morphing Ball]] as usual but then goes left through the Power Bomb blocks to [[Big Pink]], where the Missile pack above Charge Beam is collected. This cuts significant backtracking through Brinstar Elevator and Climb, and also removes the necessity to go to the Awaken Missiles section. It continues up to [[Early Supers Room]] and collects the Super Missiles, then goes across to [[Brinstar Pre-Map Room]], kills all the enemies there, and leaves for X-ray. Opening the grey door at the end of Pre-Map room triggers the awakening of Crateria which never happened because the Pit Room and the Pirates there were aboided; the awakening of Parlor is necessary to use the Geemer for getting stuck inside the door later.

After this, the route is the same as the previous route for the rest of the run.

== G-mode Route ==

While X-climb route gets doorstuck and X-climbs to get OoB, this route instead executes [[G-Mode Save Station]] to get OoB. The first part of the route, up to early Supers, is the same; then, the Brinstar Reserve Tank is collected and filled to some capacity in order to activate [[G-Mode]]. Visiting the Brinstar Pre-Map Room is NOT necessary, since there is no need to awaken Parlor in this route. Once X-ray is collected, Samus heads to the [[Caterpillar Room]], where a [[Zero]] must be lured all the way to the entrance to the [[Red Tower Save Station]] so it can damage Samus during the door transition; this damage is used to trigger G-mode. Inside, Samus steps on the save platform and then activates X-ray appropriately to get OoB. Falling a certain amount will make X-ray corrupt memory and then a transition block is touched so Samus can leave the room and escape to the Ship.

Chainsaw Beam

2023-03-17T13:34:43Z

Amh:

[[File:SpazerPlasmaVar.jpg|right|x200px]]

'''Chainsaw Beam''' is the combination of [[Wave Beam]], [[Spazer]], and [[Plasma Beam]] with [[Ice Beam]] unequipped; while [[Charge Beam]] can be equipped, charged shots might crash the game and some of the beam's potential are better exploited with it unequipped.

It can open doors and destroy destructible blocks that the Power Beam is normally capable of destroying. The Chainsaw Beam has a very high rate of fire, but has a very short range (hence the name), and doesn't have any visible effect or projectile. [[Damage]] from the beam is only dealt during a [[Power Bomb]] explosion, it deals 150 damage with a maximum of seven hits per explosion. It has the same damage type as [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]].

To equip [[Spazer]] and [[Plasma Beam]] at the same time, open the inventory screen, equip Spazer, and move the marker to any of the [[Boots]] items. Then, press Left, and press A immediately afterward. Plasma Beam should then become equipped alongside Spazer with "VAR" next to it.

== Power Bomb explosion ==

While the Power Bomb explosion is happening, firing the Chainsaw Beam will

* damage enemies susceptible to Supers near Samus' arm canon
* open Blue Doors and Blue Gates that the explosion is in contact with
* prevent Orange Doors to be opened by the explosion (blocks will still break)
* mess with the Power Bomb graphics and cause lag

== Without Power Bomb explosion ==

Just firing the Chainsaw Beam will

* open Blue Doors and Blue Gates (including opening gates from the wrong side)
* break shootable blocks

The above items consider: 1) near Samus' arm canon; 2) for doors in the ceiling and blocks, any firing direction with the exception of aiming up.

}}

RBO is the category with the most route variations. The one you will want to use depends on how safe you wish to be, and/or how fast you are capable of being in a run.

=Routes and Methods=

When running RBO, there are many considerations to make for which route you want to use. The route used typically depends on the runner's skill level and preference. This section drives to outline many of the route choices available to the runner.

==Double Norfair Visit==

Double Norfair Visit route has classically been the RBO route. This route involves the runner visiting Norfair twice throughout the entire run. Typically the runner collects the Brinstar Reserve Tank and at least 2 Energy Tanks and immediately heading to Norfair to do an early hell run through Norfair, collecting Speed Booster, Wave Beam, Power Bombs, and Grapple Beam. After this the runner backtracks to Brinstar and Crateria for more item collection before returning to Norfair for a second time and heading to Lower Norfair to fight Ridley.

Advantages to Double Norfair Visit Route
* Allows collection of Crateria Super Missiles
* Allows collection of Big Pink Water Energy Tank
* Allows early Maridia route

Disadvantages to Double Norfair Visit Route
* Requires an early hell run, which is easy to die in
* Route is overall slower than a Single Norfair Visit

==Single Norfair Visit==
Single Norfair Visit route involves the runner collecting all the needed powerups in Crateria and Brinstar before ever entering Norfair. This route requires picking up early powerbombs, whether it is Red Tower powerbombs or etecoons powerbombs (via moondance), and collecting many powerups without usual items. The Big Pink E-Tank gate needs to be opened with the Super Missile trick since the runner doesn't have wave beam, Gauntlet can't be cleared with Speed Booster, and other differences.

This route is typically considered a more advanced route as you have a much lower ammo count going into Ridley and aren't able to pick up as many Energy Tanks either.

There were two variants of this route: (1) continuing up the Red Tower Elevator after collecting Power Bombs, looping back through Gauntlet and the rest of the Brinstar powerups; or (2) Doing Gauntlet immediately after picking up Bombs, and then backtracking through Brinstar for item collection after picking up Red Tower powerbombs. From research both routes are roughly identical in time.

However, there are more efficient variants of single Norfair visit, such as: replacing the Gauntlet Energy Tank with the Norfair Reserve Tank, or not getting either tank and go into Lower Norfair with only 7 tanks (6 energy tanks and 1 reserve tank); and doing [[moondance]] to get access to the etecoons area without powerbombs to get powerbombs earlier.

A newbie to the category simply looking to complete a run could do this route, then go back to collect the Crateria Supers, Big Pink Water Tank, and do early Maridia after collecting Norfair items. This route would technically be a Double Norfair visit, but leverages the advantages of both Norfair visit routes at a large cost of time.

Advantages to Single Norfair Visit Route
* Provides ample energy tanks for the regular Norfair hell run to pick up Speed Booster, Wave Beam, and Grapple Beam
* Route is overall faster than a Double Norfair Visit

Disadvantages to Single Norfair Visit Route
* Crateria Super Missiles and Big Pink Water Energy Tank can't be collected
* Does not allow for Early Maridia

==Early Maridia==

An option new runners to RBO typically want to take is to visit Maridia early on in the run (before killing Ridley) and collect Super Missiles and Energy Tanks there. A runner could potentially collect as many as two extra Energy Tanks and two extra Super Missile powerups, making the rest of the run much more comfortable to complete. Typically, only the Mama Turtle E-Tank and Crab Supers are collected. The runner could go further into Maridia and collect the other Supers at the top of Maridia, and the E-Tank after Botwoon.

Advantages to Early Maridia
* Allows the collection of up to two more E-Tanks
* Allows the collection of up to two (or three) more Super Missile powerups

Disadvantages to Early Maridia
* Requires Ice Beam (and preferably wave beam) and maybe Grapple Beam to do
* Consumes a large amount of time

==Screw Attack/Golden Torizo Skip==

Another option the runner has in order to save time is to skip Golden Torizo, or both him and Screw Attack altogether.

Fighting Golden Torizo typically involves farming Super ammo back to full and picking up Screw Attack before going into the fight. The only reason to fight GT is to collect the Super Missile powerup in the room.

Advantages to skipping Golden Torizo
* Saves time to not have to perform the fight
* Doesn't require refilling Super Ammo needed for the fight

Disadvantages to skipping Golden Torizo
* Missing collection of a Super Missile powerup
* Missing out on opportunity to collect power bombs from drops

Additionally, the runner can skip going to the left altogether and skip both Golden Torizo and Screw Attack. While this saves a great deal of time, the runner is missing out on the helpfulness of Screw Attack and a Super Missile powerup. Skipping both Screw Attack and Golden Torizo should be considered an extremely advanced move and is recommended as one of the last route changes made in order to save time.

Advantages to skipping Screw Attack/Golden Torizo
* Saves a huge amount of time
* Don't have to deal with the Green Gate Glitch

Disadvantages to skipping Screw Attack/Golden Torizo
* Loses Screw Attack, making the LN Escape much more perilous
* Missing collection of a Super Missile powerup
* Missing out on opportunity to collect power bombs from drops
* Missing out on opportunity to fill up Supers

[http://www.twitch.tv/foosda/v/41525804 Foosda] - Beginner RBO Tutorial, focused on safeties and completion rather than a good time.

[http://pastebin.com/4fJpD127 Foosda] - Item listing for an "Early Maridia" route, which makes RBO a slower run, but an easier run to complete, primarily due to the acquisition of "[[List of Super Missiles#Maridia 1|Crab Supers]]," "[[List of Super Missiles#Maridia 3|Pancake Supers]]", and "[[List of Energy Tanks#Maridia 2|Turtle ETank]]."

[http://pastebin.com/zxLdmBDj Foosda] - Item listing for a route without "Early Maridia", which acquires 8 Energy Tanks (along with [[List of Reserve Tanks#Brinstar 1|Brinstar Reserve Tank]]), 50 Missiles, 20 Super Missiles, and 20 Power Bombs before entering Lower Norfair.

=Theory TASes=

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQshdwAQUZ0 Dessyreqt v1] - First theory TAS created by Dessyreqt back in 2013. RTA is 1:01:28. Route used includes a double Norfair visit.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7DOERXfvug Dessyreqt v2] - Second theory TAS created by Dessyreqt, released October 2015. RTA is 57:04. Route used includes a single Norfair visit, limiting the number of missiles picked up to 25 and does a lot of RNG manipulation on farming drops in Lower Norfair. LN escape is also done without a Crystal Flash.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUIgSw_TGkA Straevaras v1] - First Theory TAS created by Straevaras, released December 2015. RTA is 1:00:43. Route used includes a double Norfair visit, and Screw Attack/Golden Torizo skip. This theory TAS is not as optimized and approaches a more realistic methodology that a runner would actually encounter in the run and does little to no RNG manipulation.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSkl-9EiknA Straevaras v2] - Second Theory TAS created by Straevaras, released December 2015. RTA is 58:41. Route used includes a single Norfair visit and Screw Attack/Golden Torizo skip. This theory TAS is more optimized than the first, but still approaches a more realistic methodology that a runner would actually encounter in the run and does little to no RNG manipulation.

Record Progression

2023-02-20T19:18:54Z

Amh: fixed delta

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Any% GT Code]] were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For [[0%|Low% Glitched]] (and [[14%|low%]] categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains [[Moonwalk#Moonfall|moonfall]].

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

===Ancient History===

Prior to Smokey's 56:22 listed above, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the input movie files for only some of these runs are known to still exist. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

===Ancient History===
Prior to Red Scarlet's 0:55 listed below, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the websites hosting the demo files for those runs are no longer available. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

With the possible exception of Smokey's runs, all of the runs listed below were confirmed to be performed in multiple segments.

== 15% (low% ancient history) ==

Prior to the discovery of the Zebetite skip (which happened in July 2003), Kejardon performed a segmented 15% run (segments were recorded from March 2002 to January 2003). The items collected were almost the same as a 14% speed run, except an additional missile pack was collected; Zebetites were destroyed one at a time, with missile refills in between. This run was recorded with ZSNES 1.30, and because of problems with ZSNES movie file (.zmv) playback, the final two segments do not play back properly.

While travelling to the right sandpit, you can use [[Blue Suit#Temporary|temporary blue suit]] to get through the speed blocks more quickly than going around.

{{#ev:youtube|Y5cBhz7v7k4}}

However, there is a risk of softlocking if you get through the first set of respawning blocks without getting through the lower non-respawning blocks.

{{#ev:youtube|HDTO-bqT78s}}

== [[RBO]] ==

To get to the top of the room without [[Gravity Suit]] the most common method is to Grapple Jump up.

{{#ev:youtube|4PVQroImwTU}}

You can also use a snail to get up: this fast method will push Samus upward without the camera following at the same speed.

{{#ev:youtube|_2Ij1D7bx5M}}

== Randomizer ==

To get the items without Speed Booster, you can use the snails to clip up into that area.

{{#ev:youtube|ud0I-bb6mVw}}

A tutorial for that trick:

{{#ev:youtube|fBQubU6h11U}}

== Power Bomb Lag Reduction ==

Breaking the power bomb blocks on the left side of the room induces a lot of lag. Reducing the lag is possible by manipulating the Yards (popular name 'snails').

Yards are intended to behave like Mario's Boo enemies, where if Samus would turn and face a Yard, it would get scared and hide inside its shell after a short animation. (This behavior can take up to 1 second to be activated upon entering the room; this behavior might need a few turn-arounds to be activated). Turning away from a Yard would make it continue its walk after a short animation. Yards move off-screen.

By turning left and right a few times a second, all active Yards within a certain range are stopped, because they are constantly restarting either the 'exit the shell' animation or 'enter the shell' animation. Doing this manipulation during a power bomb explosion can reduce a significant percentage of total lag, since the game has to keep track of less things off-screen, namely, Yards' movement.

{{#ev:youtube|oY-lYewQoa0}}

In the demonstration, lag is reduced from 79 to 41 frames, almost 50% of lag reduction.

This technique is useful for any category that has to use power bombs either in or out of the room. Due to other factors, such as Samus' movement, Samus' pose, and camera scrolling, a more realistic target for lag reduction is around 30%. In the video bellow, lag goes from 83 (only facing right) to 52 (doing a few turn-arounds).

Record Progression

2023-01-21T21:09:10Z

Amh: wr

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Any% GT Code]] were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For [[0%|Low% Glitched]] (and [[14%|low%]] categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains [[Moonwalk#Moonfall|moonfall]].

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

===Ancient History===

Prior to Smokey's 56:22 listed above, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the input movie files for only some of these runs are known to still exist. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

Prior to Red Scarlet's 0:55 listed below, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the websites hosting the demo files for those runs are no longer available. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

With the possible exception of Smokey's runs, all of the runs listed below were confirmed to be performed in multiple segments.

== 15% (low% ancient history) ==

Prior to the discovery of the Zebetite skip (which happened in July 2003), Kejardon performed a segmented 15% run (segments were recorded from March 2002 to January 2003). The items collected were almost the same as a 14% speed run, except an additional missile pack was collected; Zebetites were destroyed one at a time, with missile refills in between. This run was recorded with ZSNES 1.30, and because of problems with ZSNES movie file (.zmv) playback, the final two segments do not play back properly.

RBO is the category with the most route variations. The one you will want to use depends on how safe you wish to be, and/or how fast you are capable of being in a run.

=Routes and Methods=

When running RBO, there are many considerations to make for which route you want to use. The route used typically depends on the runner's skill level and preference. This section drives to outline many of the route choices available to the runner.

==Double Norfair Visit==

Double Norfair Visit route has classically been the RBO route. This route involves the runner visiting Norfair twice throughout the entire run. Typically the runner collects the Brinstar Reserve Tank and at least 2 Energy Tanks and immediately heading to Norfair to do an early hell run through Norfair, collecting Speed Booster, Wave Beam, Power Bombs, and Grapple Beam. After this the runner backtracks to Brinstar and Crateria for more item collection before returning to Norfair for a second time and heading to Lower Norfair to fight Ridley.

Advantages to Double Norfair Visit Route
* Allows collection of Crateria Super Missiles
* Allows collection of Big Pink Water Energy Tank
* Allows early Maridia route

Disadvantages to Double Norfair Visit Route
* Requires an early hell run, which is easy to die in
* Route is overall slower than a Single Norfair Visit

==Single Norfair Visit==
Single Norfair Visit route involves the runner collecting all the needed powerups in Crateria and Brinstar before ever entering Norfair. This route requires picking up early powerbombs, whether it is Red Tower powerbombs or etecoons powerbombs (via moondance), and collecting many powerups without usual items. The Big Pink E-Tank gate needs to be opened with the Super Missile trick since the runner doesn't have wave beam, Gauntlet can't be cleared with Speed Booster, and other differences.

This route is typically considered a more advanced route as you have a much lower ammo count going into Ridley and aren't able to pick up as many Energy Tanks either.

There were two variants of this route: (1) continuing up the Red Tower Elevator after collecting Power Bombs, looping back through Gauntlet and the rest of the Brinstar powerups; or (2) Doing Gauntlet immediately after picking up Bombs, and then backtracking through Brinstar for item collection after picking up Red Tower powerbombs. From research both routes are roughly identical in time.

However, there are more efficient variants of single Norfair visit, such as: replacing the Gauntlet Energy Tank with the Norfair Reserve Tank, or not getting either tank and go into Lower Norfair with only 7 tanks (6 energy tanks and 1 reserve tank); and doing [[moondance]] to get access to the etecoons area without powerbombs to get powerbombs earlier.

A newbie to the category simply looking to complete a run could do this route, then go back to collect the Crateria Supers, Big Pink Water Tank, and do early Maridia after collecting Norfair items. This route would technically be a Double Norfair visit, but leverages the advantages of both Norfair visit routes at a large cost of time.

Advantages to Single Norfair Visit Route
* Provides ample energy tanks for the regular Norfair hell run to pick up Speed Booster, Wave Beam, and Grapple Beam
* Route is overall faster than a Double Norfair Visit

Disadvantages to Single Norfair Visit Route
* Crateria Super Missiles and Big Pink Water Energy Tank can't be collected
* Does not allow for Early Maridia

==Early Maridia==

An option new runners to RBO typically want to take is to visit Maridia early on in the run (before killing Ridley) and collect Super Missiles and Energy Tanks there. A runner could potentially collect as many as two extra Energy Tanks and two extra Super Missile powerups, making the rest of the run much more comfortable to complete. Typically, only the Mama Turtle E-Tank and Crab Supers are collected. The runner could go further into Maridia and collect the other Supers at the top of Maridia, and the E-Tank after Botwoon.

Advantages to Early Maridia
* Allows the collection of up to two more E-Tanks
* Allows the collection of up to two (or three) more Super Missile powerups

Disadvantages to Early Maridia
* Requires Ice Beam (and preferably wave beam) and maybe Grapple Beam to do
* Consumes a large amount of time

==Screw Attack/Golden Torizo Skip==

Another option the runner has in order to save time is to skip Golden Torizo, or both him and Screw Attack altogether.

Fighting Golden Torizo typically involves farming Super ammo back to full and picking up Screw Attack before going into the fight. The only reason to fight GT is to collect the Super Missile powerup in the room.

Advantages to skipping Golden Torizo
* Saves time to not have to perform the fight
* Doesn't require refilling Super Ammo needed for the fight

Disadvantages to skipping Golden Torizo
* Missing collection of a Super Missile powerup
* Missing out on opportunity to collect power bombs from drops

Additionally, the runner can skip going to the left altogether and skip both Golden Torizo and Screw Attack. While this saves a great deal of time, the runner is missing out on the helpfulness of Screw Attack and a Super Missile powerup. Skipping both Screw Attack and Golden Torizo should be considered an extremely advanced move and is recommended as one of the last route changes made in order to save time.

Advantages to skipping Screw Attack/Golden Torizo
* Saves a huge amount of time
* Don't have to deal with the Green Gate Glitch

Disadvantages to skipping Screw Attack/Golden Torizo
* Loses Screw Attack, making the LN Escape much more perilous
* Missing collection of a Super Missile powerup
* Missing out on opportunity to collect power bombs from drops
* Missing out on opportunity to fill up Supers

Amh: added baby skip for low%, and how to alter baby's pathing

{{Adjacent rooms
|west=[[Seaweed Room]]

}}

[[File:BigBoyRoom.png|x256px]]

[[File:Big_Metroid_room%2C_state_1%262.png|x300px]]

Upon entering the room, the camera will follow Samus like normal until the left edge of the camera reaches the middle of the room. When that happens, the camera will lock into place and the Baby cutscene will start; invisible walls will impede Samus from going left or right.

When the Baby detaches from the Hopper, after a delay, the cutscene will end. At this point, the camera is no longer locked, Samus can freely move to the right or left, and the Baby AI is activated.

In all categories, the player should move left as quickly as possible in order to start the Metroid cutscene as soon as possible. For categories with Space Jump this will mean retaining jump speed through the door transition, then Space Jumping until the camera locks. For all other categories, the optimal strategy is to shoot the dust enemies, then mockball on the ground between the first and second pillars sticking out of the ground.

= Baby Behavior =

After the cutscene, the Baby will be in a "contemplate Samus" mode, where it will hover near the ceiling lazily following Samus horizontally.

A small lunge towards Samus can occur with a chance of 1/128 (once every 2 seconds on average), where the Baby will move a bit faster and go down from the ceiling a bit. This lasts only half a second, then the Baby will revert back to "contemplate" mode. The lunge can significantly alter the Baby's path.

If Samus is near the Baby's claw (center-bottom sprite) at any point, she will be grabbed. The exception is if Samus is in spin jump and is in the right half of the room (doing so will change the Baby's movement significantly but not change its mode by itself).

If Samus stays too long (80 frames out of the past 336 frames) underneath the Baby, it will go into an aggressive "eat Samus" mode, where it will rush towards Samus' position in an attempt to grab her.

When Samus crosses the middle line (where was the left invisble wall) towards the left, the Baby will immediately switch to "eat Samus" mode.

When Samus is grabbed by the Baby, she will be drastically slowed down and have her energy drained down until it reaches 01 (2+ seconds), after which Samus will be locked into place until the Baby is satisfied (~12 seconds) and leaves, so Samus can move again.

= Metroid Skip =

Skipping the Baby's grab is hard but possible and can save ~10 seconds in the room plus ~10 seconds not recharging energy. This involves doing careful jumps and manipulating the Baby Metroid's position to reach the door transition while avoiding getting grabbed.

Shooting or bombing the Baby have an effect in its movement and can alter the Baby's pathing.

Without Wave Beam, shooting the moss smoothly while avoiding the Baby can be challenging. In that case, a power bomb can be used near the door to clear the moss in one go (the player should be wary of the lag).

If the player cannot perform a Baby skip, damaging Samus on purpose on the Hopper in the cutscene saves a few seconds.

== Non-Space Jump Method ==
Begin running after Baby rises all the way to the top and starts moving back downwards. You can delay the start quite a bit before Baby will come down and grab you. Jump as late as possible to maximize the horizontal distance traveled. You can jump as early as the first sandy floor tile and still make the jump past the next protruding floor tile. If you accidentally run into the floor tiles without jumping, turn around and run back under Baby and try again. You can usually fail this way twice before Baby will grab you. Aiming down throughout this first jump can grant you a bit more distance and put Baby in a more favorable position for the next jump.

The second jump will need to wait until Baby has passed by and begins changing direction back toward you. Run forward and jump over Baby rather than turning around to increase your distance traveled. Try not to jump too high and hit the Dust Geemer on the ceiling. If you choose to shoot out all of the dusty obstacles (which can cause around a second worth of lag frames), you can fire a horizontal shot after you start falling and Baby is in approximately the 2 o'clock position. You may need to shoot the Dust Ripper on the floor depending on how well you perform these first two jumps. Aiming down and firing just before landing on the Dust Ripper will make Baby swing further to the left, but may require tighter execution. An angle shot may be easier if you're not clearing as much distance on these two jumps.

The third jump is where the "jump-rope" movement comes into play. Immediately turn around upon landing and run about 1-2 tiles distance to the right and spin jump over Baby when it's coming toward you in the 8-7 o'clock position. Try not to jump too high (about 3/4 of the way to the ceiling) even if you cleared the way with your beam. Higher jumps will give you less overall distance and puts Baby in a higher position on the next jump. Focus on getting into a good position to jump-rope with Baby.

Take the time to become proficient at this jump-rope technique before incorporating the shots at the vines. You'll want to know how to correct Baby's movement if things get out of hand. If it goes too high, or starts circling in a tighter pattern, you may want to sacrifice some forward progress by running further backwards before jumping. Try to tune your jumps to be around a tile's distance (16px) over Baby. Any runner that is consistent at Baby Skip should be able to keep Baby in a loop for as long as they want.

Once you've mastered this technique, begin working on clearing out the vines with your beam. You'll want to clear out all or most of the vines that are at or above door height. Horizontal shots can be the easiest if you have cleared out the ceiling dust, but may require extra jumps if Baby circles too high. Angle shots are best for clearing the top portion, but requires releasing jump before Samus will break spin and aim diagonally. Be careful about breaking spin too early as Baby tends to close the distance quickly if you're too close.

Leaving at least one row of vines at the bottom can help you get into position when the time comes for the final jump. The single, top-left tile of vines can be ignored, but no other tiles in the top corner should be left in place. You'll want to manipulate Baby's pattern to be low and wide for the final positioning. Take the time and extra jumps to get Baby in a favorable position before committing. Try to get into position against the tiles (or on the foreground vines if you destroyed them all) quickly and wait for Baby to swing low, around the 7 o'clock position. Jump straight up as late as possible and mid-air morph immediately. Hold left to bounce into the door transition. It's possible to get in the door with a spin jump, but may require a closer starting position. On PAL, the final spin jump can be easier due to poor horizontal movement with air ball in that version.

{{#ev:youtube|IELruthj6ZI}}

Some runners lay bombs during the final jump, but this is not advised. The sound of the bomb explosion can cause [[processing]] delays before the door transition starts, during which the Baby will continue moving. This can drastically increase the chance of getting grabbed during the transition, causing the slowdown effect as described below.

== Clockwise Method ==

[[File:PistashioSkip.png|frame|right|In zoast's chat, unablevn inadvertently making a new name for the trick]]

First demonstrated by Stashiocat, this method has promise to be the fastest for Any%. As a bonus, it skips needing to unmorph in the next room.

{{#ev:youtube|ppB2PwOT7y0}}

This skip can be done [https://clips.twitch.tv/ObservantGoldenJellyfishSpicyBoy-Y3RTYpTsha9V-n49 in as few as 3 jumps].

{{#ev:youtube|aOZh7S5yoDM}}

== Springball Method ==

Possibly the most inconsistent method of Baby Skip. Developed by Behemoth and Kottpower.

{{#ev:youtube|4qGH9FHybns}}

== Low% ==

Due to the lack of movement items, Baby Skip in Low% has been , for a long time, considered too difficult to be done in a way to save significant time to balance its inconsistency.

In recent years, though, a few players have made strides to make it more consistent and have even [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvN6bo5RNrQ&t=2575s performed it during runs].

But specially with the recent discovery of Clockwise Baby Skip, the technique for Low% Ice (and others without HiJump Boots or Speedbooster) can be considered not only viable but consistent.

{{#ev:youtube|3JY2QKM78Q0}}

=== Low% Speed ===

A TAS demonstration by Hotarubi shows how getting grabbed, avoiding, or sparking precisely, compare.

{{#ev:youtube|fjSt2SmxRu8}}

== Randomizer ==

With Hi-Jump but no Speed Booster, the running cues will be slightly different than the Non-Space Jump method listed above.

{{#ev:youtube|_5NbbHy9f2I}}

= Metroid Skip Skip =

For runners who can't get the Metroid Skip, they would be faster damaging themselves as much as possible on the side hopper, before jumping straight into the Metroid's grasp. The side hopper damage can be sped up by [[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo screwing]] into it, since a pseudo screw resets the invulnerability period. This is done especially in [[14%]] categories, since runners lack both Wave Beam and High Jump Boots, making the Baby Skip much more difficult and time-consuming.

If you fail the Baby Skip (or succeed at the Skip Skip), you should face right before you reach 1hp and get locked in the crouch position. When facing left, Samus goes through the animation of standing back up slowly. Facing right skips this animation and saves 35 frames.

{{#ev:youtube|OPKdyDcfRTo}}

= Slowdown =

If you go through the door transition while the Baby Metroid has a hold of you (including if it grabs you during the fadeout), you will be in a permanently slowed down state in terms of your horizontal velocity. You can complete the game like this, but the escape sequence will be significantly more difficult.

To remove the slowdown, you'll need to get to the save station, save, then reset your console.

{{#ev:youtube|8hfgX2CkV9E}}

If you reach 1 hp during the door transition, there's a decent chance you will be softlocked in the crouching position.

{{#ev:youtube|4qGH9FHybns}}

== Randomizer ==

With Hi-Jump but no Speed Booster, the running cues will be slightly different than the Non-Space Jump method listed above.

{{#ev:youtube|_5NbbHy9f2I}}

= Metroid Skip Skip =

For runners who can't get the Metroid Skip, they would be faster damaging themselves as much as possible on the side hopper, before jumping straight into the Metroid's grasp. The side hopper damage can be sped up by [[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo screwing]] into it, since a pseudo screw resets the invulnerability period. This is done especially in [[14%]] categories, since runners lack both Wave Beam and High Jump Boots, making the Baby Skip much more difficult and time-consuming.

If you fail the Baby Skip (or succeed at the Skip Skip), you should face right before you reach 1hp and get locked in the crouch position. When facing left, Samus goes through the animation of standing back up slowly. Facing right skips this animation and saves 35 frames.

{{#ev:youtube|OPKdyDcfRTo}}

= Slowdown =

If you go through the door transition while the Baby Metroid has a hold of you (including if it grabs you during the fadeout), you will be in a permanently slowed down state in terms of your horizontal velocity. You can complete the game like this, but the escape sequence will be significantly more difficult.

To remove the slowdown, you'll need to get to the save station, save, then reset your console.

{{#ev:youtube|8hfgX2CkV9E}}

If you reach 1 hp during the door transition, there's a decent chance you will be softlocked in the crouching position.

= Zebetite Glitch =

The '''Zebetite glitch''', also known as "Zebetite skip" (typically shortened to "Zeb skip"), allows for bypassing the Zebetites preceding [[Mother Brain]]. By passing through the first or second Zebetite (without destroying it), it causes all remaining Zebetites to not spawn. This saves over a minute in categories where minimal ammo is acquired, conserving both ammo and potentially health compared to trying to bust through the Zebetites.

The Zebetite glitch can be performed with either [[Ice Beam]], [[Speed Booster]], or (if out of bounds is permitted) [[X-Ray Scope]].

Getting the Zebetite Skip is dependent on Samus's subpixel positioning. Both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) subpixel values can cause the skip to fail sometimes, even is the technique is performed correctly. Setups that normalize the x and/or y subpixels can increase the rate of success.

== Ice Beam (Wave Beam) ==

This version of the Zebetite glitch is by far the easiest to execute, and is slightly faster than most of the other versions.

* Upon entering the room, jump and land next to the first Zebetite
* Crouch while using angle down to aim at the spawn location of the Rinka that spawns beneath the Zebetite
* Freeze the Rinka once it spawns beneath you (before it moves)
* Take a hit that gives you invulnerability (whether it be from the Zebetite itself, a Rinka, or a turret shot - invulnerability is required to pass through)
* Do a small [[Spinjump]] to align to the right side of the frozen Rinka
* Jump and hold left (not a spinjump) to clip through the Zebetite before your invulnerability wears off.

If executed correctly, you should pass through the first Zebetite.

After the Rinka is frozen (step 3), doing spin jumps against the Zebetite will, most of the time, let Samus take a hit from the Zebetite (deals 0 damage), granting i-frames; doing the same but with i-frames will, most of the time, position Samus to pass through the Zebetite. Therefore, if the initial setup fails, a common backup is to do small spin jumps into the Zebetite to get pass it.

Screw Attack must be turned off for this method of Zeb Skip. See below for techniques that can be done with it turned on.

{{#ev:youtube|GBXi3MSpGZg}}

== Ice Beam (Low%) ==

If you do not have [[Wave Beam]], such as in [[14% Ice]], freezing the Rinka below the Zebetite is a bit trickier. The main difference is that you will need to fire directly up at the Rinka from below its location before attempting to spin through the Zebetite.

* Upon entering the room, run directly left under the first Zebetite
* Press against the wall and aim directly up
* Freeze the Rinka once it spawns above you
* Jump up next to the Zebetite
* Spinjump through the Zebetite once you have gained invulnerability

You can effectively combine steps four and five by aligning to the right side of the Rinka from a spinjump from the floor. Being struck by the Zebetite will not deal any damage, which is helpful for lower-percentage categories.

{{#ev:youtube|DTntye5_pGY}}

In Randomizer, if you have only Plasma and Ice without Wave, you will need to either turn Plasma off, or crouch and aim up for this to work.

== Ice Beam (Screw Attack) ==

If you have [[Screw Attack]] enabled, such as in [[100%]], [[GT Classic]], and [[RBO|Reverse Boss Order]], it will affect how you can perform the Zebetite skip. Because spinjumping with Screw Attack equipped will reset your invulnerability, passing through the Zebetite by freezing a Rinka without spinjumping is only possible by performing one of the methods below.

=== [[Hitbox Manipulation#Down-backing|Downbacking]] ===

* Upon entering the room, continue to run forward and run off while holding forward until you have landed on the floor
* Jump up into the Rinka above (should be able to do this immediately upon landing)
* Perform a downback after being struck by the Rinka
* As you are performing the downback, freeze the Rinka once it spawns beneath you
* Jump through the Zebetite

It is important to remember that for step four, you continue to hold the inputs for the downback until you have landed, so that you become partially clipped into the Zebetite, so that you can perform a normal (non-spinjump) jump through the Zebetite to pass through.

This method is also slightly faster than the standard spinjump method even for Any%, as long as you're consistent at executing it.

{{#ev:youtube|eQW6ZCe4Zns}}

== [[Hitbox Manipulation#Down-backing|Downbacking]] with Subpixel Normalization ==

[[File:DownbackZebBad0.png|frame|The first bad frame for starting a downback.]]

[[File:DownbackZebBad12.png|frame|The beginning of the second cluster of bad frames.]]

[[File:DownbackZebBad34567.png|frame|The beginning of the third cluster of bad frames.]]

It is possible to normalize Samus's horizontal subpixel value by bonking the T-shaped small platform in front of the Zebetite during your jump:

* Spin jump towards the Zebetite making sure to bonk the T platform
* Keep holding left after the bonk, but release left (and other dpad inputs) before the Rinka damage
* Once damaged, perform a downback and freeze the Rinka right before landing

As long as you bonk this platform, and you're NOT pressing left on the D-pad at the moment you contact the Rinka, you will be guaranteed a good horizontal subpixel for the Zeb skip

{{#ev:youtube|z_Z76CPNbm4}}

In the practice hack, the player can activate the "X Position" infohud mode to check if the bonk is happening. As in the video above, the player should see Samus's X position stop at 837.8000 on the way up; then 837.0000 on the way down. After you you successfully clip into the zeb, your horizontal position will become 836.0000.

Samus's vertical subpixel positioning depends only on the frame on which you start your downback. After the top Rinka knocks you back, there is a pattern of "good frames" and "bad frames" where starting a downback will or will not give you the correct positioning. The pattern is: 4 good frames, then 1 bad frame, then 5 good, 2 bad, 2 good, 5 bad, 1 good, then all the rest are bad. Therefore, it's best to start your downback relatively early to aim for the clusters of 4 or 5 good frames.

This method normalizes the x subpixel to a "good" value and, if the player can execute the downback correctly in a "good frame", then the y subpixel will also be in a "good" value. Therefore, this setup depends only on the player and can be up to 100% consistent.

=== Screw Attack + Space Jump ===

Because Screw would destroy the Rinka in the above setup, other normalization options are necessary.

With Space Jump, it is possible to bonk the turret small wall at the top for x subpixel normalization:

* Spin jump to bonk the turret wall at the top and hold left to reach the Zebetite
* Space jump and immediately break out of spin (still holding jump)
* Once damaged by the Rinka, proceed to the downback and then freeze the Rinka right before landing
* After Samus is crouched in place, release dpad to jump then hold left.

{{#ev:youtube|UYCHLbaA7iI}}

=== Screw Attack ===

Without Space Jump, a Morph method that uses the wall at the top of the Zebetite is:

* Jump against the Zebetite, Morph mid air, and hold left
* Once damaged by the Rinka, still holding left, Samus will make contact with the top wall only, which normalizes x subpixel
* Unmorph, do the downback and freeze the Rinka right before landing.

It is important to properly manipulate the timing of the bottom Rinka so it spawns by the time Samus is nearing its position. This can be accomplished by staying more or less time within the aggro range of the bottom Rinka before jumping.

{{#ev:youtube|2iar8S3O9AA}}

The height the unmorph happens and when the downback is initiated can affect the y subpixel. Unmorphing at or bellow the middle of the Zebetite appears to be better.

== Without Downbacking or Spin Jump ==

*Upon entering the room, continue to run forward and run off while holding forward until you have landed on the floor
*Jump up into the Rinka above
*Move left so that you are right next to the Zebetite as you are falling
*Freeze the Rinka right before you would land next to the Zebetite
*Jump through the Zebetite

The timing of the shot is frame-perfect and is based upon when you would land next to the Zebetite, so this method is not recommended, it is simply possible.

{{#ev:youtube|_tCbF1WCehA}}

== Spring Ball Method ==

There is an additional method that's possible if you destroy the first Zebetite with missiles or super missiles, and then do the Zeb Skip on the second Zebetite using [[Spring Ball]]. Jump into the frozen Rinka, and Samus should be put into a crouching pose. Then just morph, and then use Spring Ball to jump through the Zebetite.

{{#ev:youtube|3SHoWEyPhW0}}

This method is used in GT Classic in an attempt to reach and defeat Mother Brain 1 and 2 with full health, in order to do the [[Standup Glitch]] without pausing to fill from reserves.

=== Morph Bomb Method ===

This method is similar to the Spring Ball Method, but the timing is tight due to the iframes potentially running out before the bomb goes off. A [[Bomb]] (or Power Bomb) can also propel you into the proper position to skip the second Zebetite.

{{#ev:youtube|w48spD5TR24}}

=== Remorph Method ===

Where the Spring Ball and Bomb methods can use straight jumps to get into the crouched position, you can also spin jump into the frozen Rinka, then morph, unmorph, and morph again.

{{#ev:youtube|gAWHhbkeuY4}}

== Zeb Skip Grapple Boost ==

If you have [[Grappling Beam]], once you're standing partially within the wall and aligned to the frozen Rinka, you can shoot the Grappling Beam into the Zeb, and it will move you up to the level of the bottom of the Zebetite, so you can just run forward, without needing to jump an additional time.

{{#ev:youtube|gs5iaoRPAQ0}}

This was discovered by Sniq while making the 100% TAS in 2019.

Grapple can also similarly be used to speed up the Remorph method shown above. Once you're in position, shoot the Grappling Beam, then morph and roll through.

{{#ev:youtube|9hNUeXxiNO0}}

== Speed Booster ==

This version of the Zebetite glitch is required in a [[14% Speed]] run. It can also be performed to avoid having to perform one of the "with Screw Attack" Ice Beam methods listed previously; however, due to the ease of the standard Ice Beam version, usually people simply disable Screw Attack before performing the standard Ice Beam version rather than attempt this version.

* [[Short Charge|Short charge]] a [[shinespark]] from the bottom right wall of the [[Rinka Shaft]]
* Run directly left under the first Zebetite (with the shinespark charged)
* While holding angle up, facing left, and pressed against the wall, activate the shinespark
* As the shinespark's crash animation ends, hold down on the directional pad while mashing the jump button (otherwise, you will become stuck in the bottom portion of the Zebetite)
* Once fully inside the Zebetite, move left to escape (before your invulnerability runs out, which would allow the Zebetite to potentially eject you towards the right instead of the left)

{{#ev:youtube|sMThL7TbzHs}}

== X-Ray Scope ==

This version of the Zebetite glitch is required in a [[12%]] run.

This version of the trick is very particular, because you can't take more than 4 hits from Rinkas, your invulnerability frames run out while x-ray is active, taking a Rinka hit while standing will knock you out of the wall, and the beam's cooldown is delayed by x-ray.

= Escape =

When you finish the Mother Brain fight, you'll see the message on-screen "Time bomb set! Escape immediately!" In most categories you'll have [[Hi-Jump Boots]], so if you do a full jump along the left wall when you see the entire word "Escape" come on screen, you should be able to hold left and leave the room while the timer still reads 03'00"00. Hold Angle Down as you leave the room so you can shoot the first set of barriers as soon as the next room loads.

{{#ev:youtube|JNeqAcdN8mw}}

If you don't have [[Hi-Jump Boots]], as with most [[14%]] categories, then you can do the same full jump slightly earlier, around the time the 'c' in "Escape" comes on screen.

[[File:DownbackZebBad12.png|frame|The beginning of the second cluster of bad frames.]]

[[File:DownbackZebBad34567.png|frame|The beginning of the third cluster of bad frames.]]

It is possible to normalize Samus's horizontal subpixel value by bonking the T-shaped small platform in front of the Zebetite during your jump:

* Spin jump towards the Zebetite making sure to bonk the T platform
* Keep holding left after the bonk, but release left (and other dpad inputs) before the Rinka damage
* Once damaged, perform a downback and freeze the Rinka right before landing

As long as you bonk this platform, and you're NOT pressing left on the D-pad at the moment you contact the Rinka, you will be guaranteed a good horizontal subpixel for the Zeb skip

Therefore, it's best to start your downback relatively early to aim for the clusters of 4 or 5 good frames.

This method normalizes the x subpixel to a "good" value and, if the player can execute the downback correctly in a "good frame", then the y subpixel will also be in a "good" value. Therefore, this setup depends only on the player and can be up to 100% consistent.

'''Zebetite Skip - July 9, 2003'''

Player Pogo708 unknowingly skips the Zebetites. That event triggers further exploration of the glitch by deskjockey_, Ultima4701 and Kejardon.

At first, deskjockey_ stucks Samus in the Zebetite with a diagonal shinespark and Ultima4701 manages to finish the skip with Grapple (Speed+Grapple Zeb skip);

later, Ultima4701 finds a way to jump through the Zebetite without the need of Grapple (Speed Zeb skip);

at last, by understanding the mechanics of this Zeb skip, Kejardon develops the method of freezing a Rinka with Ice Beam and uses i-frames to get stuck inside the Zebetite (Ice Zeb skip).

This run also came with this comment about another discovery in the game:

Finally, the trigger that makes Zebes explode is simply entering the room behind Mother Brain - all Mother Brain does is set the timer that kills you. It's a random tidbit of trivia I've only now had the chance to put to use.

}}

= Introduction =

Any% GT involves completing the game as fast as possible while utilizing the Golden Torizo code. ("[[Golden Torizo|GT]]" within the moniker of a category essentially means "uses Golden Torizo code"; usage is mandatory)

The Golden Torizo code provides Samus with 53% of items, which includes 100 [[Missile|Missiles]], 20 [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], 20 [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]], 7 [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]], 3 [[Reserve Tank|Reserve Tanks]], and all major items except [[Screw Attack]]. Since this includes every [[beam]] in the game, this allows the player to utilize a combination of beams ([[Charge Beam|Charge]]/[[Ice Beam|Ice]]/[[Spazer]]/[[Plasma Beam|Plasma]]) known as [[Space Time Beam]] to massively corrupt memory, including memory where the data for the current room is stored, essentially replacing the room with garbage data. Space time beam is applied, in conjunction with other weaponry, to create transitions out of this garbage data that can swiftly and safely transport Samus through entire rooms.

For a brief period of time, this category used to be the fastest method of completing the game, until it was discovered that you could use the [[X-Ray Scope]] in a similar manner to corrupt memory, including memory that tells the game whether the escape is triggered or not. That category is known as [[Any% Glitched]]. This category is still relatively close in terms of completion time, and simply achieves the same result in a different manner.

= Route =

The route is basically the same as [[14% Ice]] up to Power Bombs. The only difference up to that point in terms of items is that you do not acquire Charge Beam.

The [[Red Tower]] climb can be difficult, especially if you are used to performing it with some other form of beam, such as Charge, Wave, and/or Ice, since you will not have any of those to perform it with. An uncharged beam shot has a smaller hitbox and will despawn more easily, requiring you to [[walljump]] faster up the climb so that the shot may connect with the destructible block.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\red%20tower.mp4}}

Either that or you will want to first walljump up the climb in order to break the block, fall down, then walljump back up to complete the climb.

After obtaining Power Bombs, head to Kraid through the standard Red Brinstar path. Since you have Power Bombs, you can attempt a strategy in the [[Baby Kraid Room|Minikraid hallway]] that involves performing a kagoball through the first [[Green Space Pirate (standing)|Space Pirate]] to [[mockball]] through most of the room. The Power Bomb will destroy the Space Pirates in the process, and [[Mini-Kraid|Minikraid]] can be dispatched with either a Super Missile or two Missiles like normal. If you find that to be too difficult, you can alternatively take out the Space Pirates with regular Missiles (or Supers, depending on your ammo count and Kraid strategy), or you can fire a beam shot in the direction of the first Space Pirate to interrupt his attack in order to jump over the first two Space Pirates and lay a Power Bomb without the kagoball.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\minikraid%20kagoball.mp4}}

After obtaining the [[Varia Suit]] from Kraid, head to Norfair. You can opt to grab [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 1|Kraid's Energy Tank]] and/or the [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 1|Energy Tank before Hi-Jump Boots]] if you require them to survive the upcoming areas.

If you are obtaining [[Hi-Jump Boots]], you can wait to open the [[Sova]]-locked door until after obtaining Hi-Jump Boots. When coming back through the room, take the path below the Missile pack. You can lay a Power Bomb after walljumping up the vertical shaft and ball boosting through the Sova which will destroy the Sova and unlock the door. The Power Bomb should also hit the destructible blocks, creating a smoother exit.

Head to [[Bubble Mountain]] similar to any%. If you do not have Hi-Jump Boots, you will have to bomb jump up to one of the doors along the way. There is a save station to the left of Bubble Mountain. Take a detour south through the Power Bomb blocks to Lower Norfair. Refill your health and ammo in the [[Purple Farming Room|room to the right of the tall purple room]] if you need to. Energy and Super Missiles are the primary concern at this point. In the [[Magdollite Tunnel|Magdollite room]], immediately firing a Missile upon entering to take out the [[Multiviola]] will make whatever movement you perform afterward simpler.

Next comes the most difficult series of inputs to perform in this run. If you miss a walljump or are unintentionally struck by a fireball, it's probably game over. There is very little room for error here if you are performing the lava dive with Hi-Jump Boots and one Energy Tank, or if you are performing the lava dive without Hi-Jump Boots and with two Energy Tanks.

=== With Hi-Jump Boots ===

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\lava%20dive%20boots.mp4}}

* Align Samus with the edge of the horizontal section above the (open) door
* After taking approximately two running steps towards the door, press and hold jump
* After the transition, hold down - with proper timing, you should have entered the lava pool without losing any momentum
* Morph and hold left during the dive until you reach the far left [[Namihe]]
* Jump on top of the Namihe, making sure to avoid any fireballs in the way
* Walljump off of the Namihe above and let your momentum carry you to the right wall below the final Namihe
* Walljump in place until an opportune time (when there isn't a fireball in the way) to walljump towards the side of the top left platform near Ridley's maw

If you were not successful in executing the second step, there are a few in-room backup strategies you can perform that have similar results, that basically involve performing short hops facing down before entering the lava then carrying on the appropriate remaining steps.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\lava%20dive%20backup.mp4}}

=== Without Hi-Jump Boots ===

{{#ev:youtube|qmlSDfw8FXQ}}

For reference, skipping Hi-Jump Boots and performing lava dive with two Energy Tanks (Terminator and Kraid) can save approximately 20 seconds over obtaining Hi-Jump Boots and performing lava dive with only the Terminator Energy Tank. If you plan on skipping Hi-Jump Boots, make sure you are able to bomb jump up to the [[Cathedral Entrance|Cathedral entrance]] door relatively quickly, as it is one of the main ways you can lose potential time. If you perform a crouch jump, you can make it up to that particular door in only one double bomb jump.

There is a save station to the left of the elevator. After the elevator ride, head right into the [[Fast Pillars Setup Room|pre-pillar room]], then Power Bomb through to the bottom left door.

Up next is a finicky trick known as the [[Gate Glitch|Green Gate Glitch]]. Since you only have a maximum of five chances to activate the switch, consistency is vital in executing this trick.

After performing the gate glitch, try to damage boost off of the fleet of Rippers if you can, or Power Bomb them if you want to be safe. If you are able to gate glitch immediately upon entering the room, you can potentially jump, morph, and ball boost through them as a safe way to gain additional momentum.

Bomb your way down to Screw Attack, but do not pick it up. Here is where you will execute the wondrous [[Golden Torizo Code|Golden Torizo code]], or GT Code for short.

Once inside the chamber after executing the GT Code, open the item menu and unequip Wave Beam. Otherwise, [[Murder Beam|the game will crash immediately upon the beam being fired]].

== Space Timewarp #1 - Golden Torizo ==

'''Explanation'''

Charge space time. While charging, equip Super Missiles. Face left and perform a medium-sized jump. While descending, fire a Super Missile when Samus's cannon is aligned with the two square blocks above the door. When performed correctly, the game should stabilize after a Super Missile vibration effect, with Samus seemingly standing in midair. Morph and roll to the right. This should warp you into the Screw Attack room.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\gt%20skip.mp4}}

'''Error Correction'''

If you appear to have taken damage during the space time effect and are not warped, morph, roll to the right, and [[Spring Ball|spring]]. There is a chance that the game will warp you into the [[Acid Statue Room|Golden Torizo lava statue room's]] bottom right door without being stuck. From there, you can attempt the skip again.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\gt%20skip%20backup.mp4}}

----

== Space Timewarp #2 - Screw Attack ==

'''Explanation'''

Bomb away a section of the ceiling before charging space time, then charge space time. While charging, equip Super Missiles. Position Samus in the corner between the upper left portion of the lowered ceiling above the Golden Torizo entrance and the bird head ornament. Fire a Super Missile while aiming up+left then immediately turn around to the right. This should (if you were fortunate) warp you into the out of bounds of the [[Landing Site]], directly behind the door to the [[Gauntlet Energy Tank Room|Gauntlet]] area.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\screw%20wrong%20warp.mp4}}

Turning around to the right gives a slightly higher chance of being warped to this location and not crashing. Outside of Virtual Console, it is still possible for the game to crash in a few different ways when attempting this warp.

'''Error Correction'''

There isn't any known way to correct being sent to the green gate room instead of the out of bounds of the Landing Site due to how it sets you in that room, and how it sets you afterward in the next room even if you were able to escape into a nearby transition.

From this out of bounds location, morph and roll to the right to fall above the [[Parlor and Alcatraz|Parlor's]] transition location, and fall into the transition by moving left off of the ceiling, then holding right. Doing so should either put you in the [[Crateria Tube|connector tube]] between the Landing Site and the [[Crateria Keyhunter Room|pre-moat room]], which is ideal, or in the Parlor. The following clip is an example of a method you can use for acquiring the connector tube transition with decent consistency.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\connector%20tube%20wrap.mp4}}

In the event that you are sent to the Parlor instead, you can jump to the left and open the door to the Terminator room. Because of the geometry of the slope next to the door (as it is a copy of the room), you may need to mash jump while holding down and left to escape the slope and enter the room transition. Once inside, you can perform the same escape trigger that the [[100% GT|100% GT category]] uses as a backup (check that page for information on how to execute that trigger). You will want to execute it fairly quickly as the enemies in the room have the potential to crash the game (even in the short span needed to fall into the door transition after firing) as space time can generate crash blocks and many creatures in this room will move off-screen (note that on console, it can still crash regardless of enemies, just like any space time). Afterward, run to the Gunship, making sure to avoid the Energy Tank along the way.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\wrap%20fail%20backup.mp4}}

Upon reaching the pre-moat room, you can perform one of the following to trigger the escape:

== Space Timewarp #3 - Escape Trigger ==

There are many ways, depending on which platform you are playing on, to trigger the escape. Standard Method is listed because it is the trigger that many older players are more familiar with, but VC Method is currently the fastest known method with this route.

'''Standard Method'''

Align Samus against the longest piece of the ceiling that is extending down, then turn around to face left. Charge space time. While charging (do not let go of the fire button until the map screen has appeared), open the item menu and unequip every beam except for Charge Beam. Exit the pause screen while holding the fire button. While aiming up+left, unleash the charge once the game screen has reappeared. This should cause Samus to fall multiple screens before being damaged backwards into a transition, placing Samus halfway in the floor of the connector tube.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\escape%20trigger.mp4}}

This is the most commonly used method in early runs of this category. Taking out the [[Kihunter (yellow)|Kihunter]] on the right is recommended.

Works on all platforms.

'''VC Method'''

Place Samus slightly left of the edge of the second step to the right of the room. Charge space time. While charging (do not let go of the fire button until the map screen has appeared), open the item menu and unequip every beam except for Charge Beam. Exit the pause screen while holding the fire button. While aiming up+left, unleash the charge once the game screen has reappeared. After firing, wait about half a second, then hold right. This should cause Samus to fall multiple screens into a transition, dropping Samus back into the connector tube.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\escape%20trigger%202016.mp4}}

Virtual Console is unique in that many methods of triggering the escape that work on console, or emulators that utilize the bsnes core, do not work on it. On Virtual Console, many methods that work on other platforms will still warp you properly through the rooms, but will not trigger the escape. Additionally, for some reason, the escape is not able to be triggered on Virtual Console unless you release the shot while aiming up+left.

The positioning for this trigger is quite lenient, and the game stabilizes immediately upon firing the charge shot. You can basically hold right during most of the fall to land on the transition. This method saves a handful of seconds compared to Standard Method.

Works on all platforms.

----

If you managed to successfully trigger the escape, demolish the blocks before the Gunship and enter it. Congratulations on completing this category.

= PAL =

All of the warps used in this category (should) work exactly the same on PAL, including those of the previous route before the Screw Attack wrong warp was discovered. The escape triggers work close to the same, as "VC Method" is exactly the same and "Standard Method" requires Samus to move forward a block's distance to fall into the transition as opposed to being knocked back into it after the fall.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\escape%20trigger%20pal.mp4}}

Not only is PAL able to complete the lava dive without Hi-Jump Boots, it can do so with only one Energy Tank since it does not need to exploit invulnerability with a fireball. Regarding the lava dive itself, it can be difficult to not lose momentum before or when entering the pool, and landing the walljump after transitioning from the top left Namihe to underneath the top right Namihe can be especially difficult.

{{#ev:archiveorg|AnyGT\lava%20dive%20pal.mp4}}

Even though PAL is able to skip Bomb Torizo and able to perform the above lava dive without Hi-Jump Boots, due to the difference in frame rate compared to NTSC, PAL is presumably the slower of the two options, although it is unknown how much slower PAL actually is in comparison. Additionally, common NTSC strategies such as "Terminator" do not directly work on PAL, although there are potential alternatives that exist for rooms with altered enemy patterns.

PAL has reduced lag in general, most notably during Kraid and during a number of Power Bomb explosions.

This video shows a hitbox view of the Spacetime portion of the run, including the "Standard Method" listed above for the Escape trigger.

This video shows the hitbox view for the 100% GT backup strat, if you transition from Landing Site to Parlor.

{{#ev:youtube|Ei_9_yDVXlA}}

This video shows the "VC Method" from the farthest left you can stand and still have it work. It also shows the three different timings of the delay between letting go of the shot and holding right. Press right too soon and you'll end up on-screen, taking a spike hit. Jump and go left to hit the transition. Press right with the correct timing and you'll come on-screen just in time to hit the transition. Press right too late and you'll take a spike hit off-screen. Jump and go right to hit the transition.

= Introduction =

GT Classic involves completing the game by defeating all major bosses while utilizing the Golden Torizo code. ("[[Golden Torizo|GT]]" within the moniker of a category essentially means "uses Golden Torizo code"; usage is mandatory)

The Golden Torizo code provides Samus with 53% of items, which includes 100 [[Missile|Missiles]], 20 [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], 20 [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]], 7 [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]], 3 [[Reserve Tank|Reserve Tanks]], and [[List of Items|all major items]] except [[Screw Attack]], which is almost immediately picked up upon acquiring these items. Having all of these items to reach and defeat the remaining bosses with allows players to show off strategies that are not possible in any other category.

= Route =

The information for the beginning of this route (up to Golden Torizo) is the exact same as the [[Any%25_GT_Code|any% GT guide]]. The only exceptions would be opening the Maridia Tube early and that you should unequip [[Spazer]] instead of [[Wave Beam]] once you have acquired the [[Golden Torizo Code|GT Code items]]. This guide will pick up from that point by going over the Golden Torizo fight.

Runners can choose between performing the lava dive with or without Hi Jump Boots. Below is a video comparison of the route differences.

{{#ev:youtube|L6VEg5-vkpA}}

By forcing the [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/gt.mp4 Golden Torizo] back against the wall, you can position yourself underneath his forward knee and unleash [[Charge Beam|charge shots]] vertically through him, which will allow the shots to strike twice, making the battle swift and simple. Since Golden Torizo will perish in 15 strikes from these charge shots, one of the shots does not have to strike twice.

== Ridley ==

Afterward, charge a [[shinespark]] before exiting the room, and unleash it after acquiring Screw Attack up the left side of the shaft. The pillar in the background left of center is a decent visual indicator of where to shinespark. Having more distance available to run out the room before [[Space Jump|Space Jumping]] back to the green gate will provide you with more speed during your Space Jumps.

You can either shinespark or Space Jump through the [[Pillars|pillar room]], since you have Screw Attack. Screw Attack will also make the "[[The Worst Room In The Game|worst room in the game]]" easier as it can clear out the ceiling blocks and destroy [[Yellow Space Pirate (wall)|pirates]]. Space Jump through the [[Amphitheatre|room with rising acid]], and in the next room, bust the destructible blocks in the floor and drop down (preferably [[Hitbox Manipulation#Down-backing|downback]]) to the [[Kihunter (red)|Kihunters]]. If you can't hitbox them or don't want to take damage, Screw Attack can fortunately take care of these as well. Destroying Kihunters will reduce the lag from the Power Bomb explosions at the end of the room.

Lay a Power Bomb to the left of the pillar before the destructible blocks, and lay a second one halfway through the hidden tunnel to open the door. As a minor timesaver, Screw Attack can take care of the first destructible block before the Power Bomb detonation reaches the other two. Hold left when entering the room to damage bounce into the hole and bomb your way through. You can handle [[Dessgeega|Dessgeegas]] in a similar manner as the Kihunters. Power Bomb the statue and descend through the spikes. You can [[Kagoing|kago]] through both spike platforms with proper timing, but be careful not to fall into the acid below if you manage to kago through the second.

The [[Space Pirate (fighting)|steel pirates]] can be handled in a number of ways. This [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/steels%20slow.mp4 slow method] is ideal for beginners and is pretty safe. This [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/steels%20fast.mp4 faster method] involves interrupting the first pirate in such a way that he does not kick forward before throwing his fin, and only throws one fin before spinjumping, causing him to react faster than normal. The second pirate has to be alerted at the appropriate time during this so that they will overlap each other when they become vulnerable, allowing one charge shot to strike both. An easy way to alert the second at the right time is to stutter once as you move towards him after passing by the first.

Afterward, you can Space Jump through the next two rooms with ease.

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/ridley.mp4 Ridley] takes 30 Super Missiles or 20 charged [[Wave Beam|Wave]]/[[Ice Beam|Ice]]/[[Plasma Beam|Plasma]] shots to kill. Super Missiles have more damage per second, so feel free to use them in conjunction with charge shots if you are comfortable doing so - mainly, if you are comfortable with the possibility of not receiving them back later and can do the math. When you are sure you have dealt enough damage to force [[Ridley|Ridley's]] explosion, you can wait underneath him for him to pick you up, or you can try springing up into his claws. Finally, you can opt to skip Ridley's drops if you want to save a few seconds.

== Draygon ==

Make your way back to the top of the [[Red Keyhunter Shaft|first Kihunter room]] and go through the door on the right. Head up through the [[Boulder|Boulders]] and [[Fune|Funes]] (freeze things or Screw Attack through things if you need to) and take the hidden left path. Make your way to the door on the top left, then do the same for the next room. Again, Screw Attack can take care of the Kihunters, as well as the destructible pillars in the room after them. Exit left out of that room, into the [[Bubble Mountain|bubble room]]. Drop down to the bottom, Power Bombing the pipe away so you can use the bottom left door to take the [[Frog Speedway|save station hallway]] back to the elevator. Taking out the [[Cacatac]] and nearby [[Waver]] beforehand with Missiles can alleviate lag generated by the Power Bomb.

Blow open the [[Glass Tunnel|glass tube]] to Maridia if you didn't previously and head up. Take the second door on the right (above the [[Skultera]]) and jump through the transition so you can jump up to the door above. When you come out of the door, charge a shinespark using the ground to the right and shinespark diagonally right to the top right door. Shoot open the center flooring, drop down, and enter the green door. Blow away the bottom pipes with a Power Bomb and walljump up the pipes to the top left door. Blast through the [[Botwoon Hallway|maze of pipes]] (the upper pipes with beam shots, the lower pipes with [[Speed Booster]]) to the right door.

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/botwoon.mp4 Botwoon] is the first of three foes that can be obliterated by the combination of [[X-Ray Scope]] and Plasma Beam, called [[X-Plasma]]. When a charged shot is active inside Botwoon's head hitbox, you can tap X-Ray Scope on and off to cause it to deal damage multiple times. With charged Wave/Ice/Plasma, Botwoon only requires four connections to kill.

Exit the room once the pillar has been removed and speed through the next room. If you exit the room before the pillar has been fully removed, it may cause both the pillar and Botwoon to respawn if you reenter the room, costing substantial time. Make sure to fire a beam shot straight forward as you reach the downward slope - the one before the sand pit with respawning Zoas - so you can enter the next room without losing speed. If you cannot perform the "[[Colosseum|full halfie]]" in the next room, it can be slightly faster to Space Jump through the room instead of opting for the "halfie" if you can grab onto the ledge instead of falling after the crash animation. Doing so will also conserve ~60 health. Afterward, blast open the green door and the eye door below.

{{#ev:youtube|IGQ3L-1QMh8}}

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/draygon.mp4 Draygon] is the second of three foes which X-Plasma makes quick work of. You'll want to take out the three turrets before finding a proper position. [[Draygon]] should explode after seven charged shot connections. If you are crouched while using X-Ray Scope, Draygon's death should force you into a standing position as a visual indication to stop using it. You should also hear a quick electrical sound as an auditory indicator. Like Ridley, skipping drops will save a few seconds, so instead of waiting on them, you can Space Jump up to the top door and leave once it unlocks.

== Phantoon ==

Head all the way back to the [[Mt. Everest|Maridian mountain area]] - the large area with many [[Sciser|Scisers]], [[Powamp|Powamps]], and grapple blocks above. Space Jump through the upper area to the top door and make your way to the [[Caterpillar Room|Red Brinstar elevator]]. A clever trick you can try to pull off in this area is springing out of the tunnel after the green gate, onto the elevator platform.

Power Bomb open the top door and the top right door of the next room. Space Jump over [[The Moat|the moat]]. Use the ground before [[West Ocean|the ocean]] to gain speed, then Space Jump over the ocean to the [[Wrecked Ship]]. Clear out the destructible blocks at the bottom of the [[Wrecked Ship Main Shaft|main shaft]] with beam shots as you descend down. Open the green door below, and the hidden eye door to the right of the next room.

[[Phantoon]] is the last encounter that X-Plasma will help against. Because Phantoon has to take damage from a different source before the beam can strike him multiple times, you should try to hit him with 1-2 regular Missiles when he opens to cause him to fly around. Hitting him with more than two in a barrage will cause him to shut. Then, swap to X-Ray Scope, and unleash charged Wave/Ice/Plasma with X-Ray Scope taps. A similar course of action can be taken regardless of which of Phantoon's openings you receive: [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20fast%20left.mp4 Fast Left] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20fast%20right.mp4 Fast Right] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20mid%20left.mp4 Medium Left] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20mid%20right.mp4 Medium Right] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20slow%20left.mp4 Slow Left] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20slow%20right.mp4 Slow Right]

Afterward, you can exit the room with the infamous "door bomb" strategy and collect all the drops, or exit in a manner similar to exiting [[Bomb Torizo|Bomb Torizo's]] room to skip part of the drops, and [[mockball]] towards the destructible block in the tunnel.

== Mother Brain ==

Head back to the ocean. Shinespark or Space Jump over it after exiting the long moving walkway room. You can keep speed exiting the [[Wrecked Ship Entrance|Wrecked Ship's entry hallway]] with an appropriately-timed shot to hit the door, which if you're able, will allow you to Space Jump towards the moat, open the door to the moat before landing out of your Space Jump, perform a speedball, and spring over the moat after the room transition.

Continue to head straight left, past your ship, all the way back to the [[Green Pirates Shaft|room with five Space Pirates]]. Take the bottom right red door and run through the next hall.

In Tourian, you have a ton of options in this category regarding which items you use, which techniques you perform, and so on. One of which is Screw Attack. Screw Attack can deflect [[Metroid|Metroids]], protect against [[Mother Brain|Mother Brain's]] beam attacks (as can "[[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo-Screw]]"), and kill [[Tourian Space Pirate (all)|pirates]] during the escape, but having Screw Attack enabled makes skipping the Zebetites much more difficult.

The fastest method is to do the [[Mother Brain Room#Spring Ball Method|Spring Ball Zeb Skip]], which can potentially allow for a pauseless Tourian. This would require exiting [[Metroid Room 4]] with 700 hp, followed by taking no damage between that time and the end of Mother Brain 2. If you go for this, it's likely best to disable Varia Suit at the same time you disable Spazer upon activating the GT Code. If you take damage in this section, you can pause during Mother Brain to give yourself reserve energy before the rainbow beam and disable [[Varia Suit]], and do not need to pause at any earlier point in Tourian.

If you are not able to skip the Zebetites with Screw Attack on, but are able to skip the Super Metroid, then [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/elevator%20unequip.mp4 pause while you use the elevator] to disable it and Varia Suit, and later pause again before the rainbow beam to give yourself reserve energy. Pausing while using an elevator that is traveling downward will save 48 frames as it will cut out the part of the elevator animation where Samus is sent off-screen.

If you are not able to skip the Super Metroid, then you should pause right before using the [[Tourian Recharge Room|energy recharge station]] to disable Screw Attack and Varia Suit, as pausing in this manner will allow you to move during and after the pause fade-in before the station message appears, which saves slightly more time than if you paused on the elevator instead.

You do not necessarily have to disable Varia Suit; however, performing the [[Standup Glitch|stand-up glitch]] with Varia Suit enabled is slightly slower because it increases the amount of time Mother Brain will take before her scripted roar, which happens right before the Super Metroid appears. This is because you have to spend time lowering your health, which is something the stand-up glitch without Varia Suit in this category does not have to do. It also comes with a risk in that if you are not able to damage yourself quickly enough, Mother Brain will think she needs to use her rainbow beam a second time, which will probably kill Samus in this scenario. At the very least, it will kill any chance of reaping the stand-up glitch's benefits, as you will not be able to stand after a second rainbow beam stun in this category.

Head down and enter the left side. The right side yields a save station. When frozen, a Metroid will be destroyed by either a Super Missile or five regular Missiles. If you are caught by a Metroid, you can remove it with a regular bomb or kill it with three Power Bombs. Alternatively, you can exit and reenter the room.

You can Screw Attack through or boost off of the first [[Blue Sidehopper|Sidehopper]] to the door. If you do not know how to perform the Super Metroid skip, then you can [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/sidehopper%20damage.mp4 lower your health quickly by abusing invulnerability]. Charge a shot while holding angle down and jump repeatedly into the side of the Sidehopper that appears on the left. Having Screw Attack enabled here will greatly improve the rate in which you can reduce your health due to its ability to reset invulnerability. Additionally, [https://ia902300.us.archive.org/26/items/OfvipVault/super%20metroid%20facing%20comparison.mp4 having Samus face right instead of left when the Super Metroid brings her down to 01 energy] will save close to a second. Samus will not perform the animation of her stumbling back to her feet if she is facing right during the stun.

Visit the refill station to the left if you need to. As explained previously, the refill station provides the best time to pause to unequip items if you need to.

If you have enough ammo to perform a [[Crystal Flash]] at this point, you may find it more beneficial to skip the recharge station, unequip Varia Suit and Screw Attack while giving yourself all of your Reserve Tank energy, and then after successfully defeating Mother Brain's second phase, quickly damaging yourself low enough (if you need to) and activating the Crystal Flash before being struck by Mother Brain's rainbow beam. What is important about this is that the Crystal Flash needs to give you 700 energy before rainbow beam connects, otherwise you will not be able to perform stand-up, or worse, rainbow beam may bring your energy to zero. You will likely lose a small amount of time on Mother Brain's first phase from needing to conserve at least 10 Super Missiles here; however, if you are successfully able to perform a Crystal Flash in this manner, you should save roughly six seconds compared to using the refill station. The amount of time you save performing a Crystal Flash is somewhat dependent on how many Super Missiles you are free to use on the doors leading to Mother Brain, as well as Mother Brain's first phase. The six seconds estimate is based on if you have 20 Super Missiles after leaving the last Metroid room, so having less than 13 would probably result in Crystal Flash not saving time, since you would then need to use regular Missiles on doors leading to Mother Brain, as well as only use Missiles on Mother Brain's first phase.

Head right through the red and eye doors. The blue door is another save station.

Perform the [[Mother Brain Room#Zebetite Glitch|Zebetite skip]] in whichever manner you choose from the page. Make your way to Mother Brain's tank, dodging turrets and Rinkas along the way. Freeze and/or destroy the three Rinkas that spawn as you enter her direct area. Destroying most of them is ideal as they can cause lag by remaining on the screen. Break her glass with regular Missiles, and attack her directly with Super Missiles. Mother Brain in this phase takes 36 Missiles to trigger her next phase, and Super Missiles are equivalent to 3 regular Missiles; however, Mother Brain and her glass require for 18 hits to have struck them before the next phase is triggered, meaning that ideally, you would break the glass open with 6 Missiles and then damage her directly with 0-3 Missiles and 9-12 Supers (an amount that adds up to 12). Nine total Missiles followed by nine total Super Missiles is the most optimal combination for this phase.

Mother Brain's second phase, like Ridley, takes 20 charged Ice/Wave/Plasma shots to finish. Super Missiles only deal half as much compared to Ridley, so they are not efficient here. Mother Brain will be able to use her explosive red beam attack after the 16th charged shot lands, so watch out for it. Both Screw Attack and pseudo-Screw can protect against her eye laser and red beam attacks, although such protective measures should not be necessary. The fight should not last longer than half a minute, and you should have plenty of Reserve Tank energy in case something goes horribly wrong.

After you have dealt enough damage to trigger the rainbow beam, refill your health using your Reserve Tanks. Now is also the last opportunity to disable Varia Suit. Perform the [[Standup Glitch|stand-up glitch]] as explained on the page to defeat her third phase.

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/mb.mp4 This video] will demonstrate the manner in which you can defeat Mother Brain's second and third phases in this category.

== Escape ==

A cue for when to escape the room at 3'00"00 flat on the timer is to jump and hold left while angled down the moment you see the entire word "ESCAPE" appear on screen. Then, simply continue to hold angle down and the shoot button as you run left through the pillars - this way, none of them should block you.

Fall down to the right. Run to the right and make sure to charge a spark before hitting the wall. Unleash the spark diagonally, open the door by firing a shot directly down, and then jump through the door. Even if you don't have Screw Attack equipped, you should have invulnerability from the pirate's laser after the spark heading into this room, which should allow you to pass through the pirate above you if you move quickly enough.

Head up and to the right, drop down and head left, drop down again, taking out pirates on the right as you fall, and climb up the platforms until you reach the right door. Make sure to hold run along this floor so you can charge a spark in the next room, shooting the pirates if necessary. Make sure you are against the right wall of [[Climb|the shaft]] before you spark directly up so you don't accidentally connect with any platforms. You should know where you are by now, so head back to your ship from here.

GT Classic involves completing the game by defeating all major bosses while utilizing the Golden Torizo code. ("[[Golden Torizo|GT]]" within the moniker of a category essentially means "uses Golden Torizo code"; usage is mandatory)

The Golden Torizo code provides Samus with 53% of items, which includes 100 [[Missile|Missiles]], 20 [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], 20 [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]], 7 [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]], 3 [[Reserve Tank|Reserve Tanks]], and [[List of Items|all major items]] except [[Screw Attack]], which is almost immediately picked up upon acquiring these items. Having all of these items to reach and defeat the remaining bosses with allows players to show off strategies that are not possible in any other category.

= Route =

The information for the beginning of this route (up to Golden Torizo) is the exact same as the [[Any%25_GT_Code|any% GT guide]]. The only exceptions would be opening the Maridia Tube early and that you should unequip [[Spazer]] instead of [[Wave Beam]] once you have acquired the [[Golden Torizo Code|GT Code items]]. This guide will pick up from that point by going over the Golden Torizo fight.

Runners can choose between performing the lava dive with or without Hi Jump Boots. Below is a video comparison of the route differences.

{{#ev:youtube|L6VEg5-vkpA}}

By forcing the [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/gt.mp4 Golden Torizo] back against the wall, you can position yourself underneath his forward knee and unleash [[Charge Beam|charge shots]] vertically through him, which will allow the shots to strike twice, making the battle swift and simple. Since Golden Torizo will perish in 15 strikes from these charge shots, one of the shots does not have to strike twice.

== Ridley ==

Afterward, charge a [[shinespark]] before exiting the room, and unleash it after acquiring Screw Attack up the left side of the shaft. The pillar in the background left of center is a decent visual indicator of where to shinespark. Having more distance available to run out the room before [[Space Jump|Space Jumping]] back to the green gate will provide you with more speed during your Space Jumps.

You can either shinespark or Space Jump through the [[Pillars|pillar room]], since you have Screw Attack. Screw Attack will also make the "[[The Worst Room In The Game|worst room in the game]]" easier as it can clear out the ceiling blocks and destroy [[Yellow Space Pirate (wall)|pirates]]. Space Jump through the [[Amphitheatre|room with rising acid]], and in the next room, bust the destructible blocks in the floor and drop down (preferably [[Hitbox Manipulation#Down-backing|downback]]) to the [[Kihunter (red)|Kihunters]]. If you can't hitbox them or don't want to take damage, Screw Attack can fortunately take care of these as well. Destroying Kihunters will reduce the lag from the Power Bomb explosions at the end of the room.

Lay a Power Bomb to the left of the pillar before the destructible blocks, and lay a second one halfway through the hidden tunnel to open the door. As a minor timesaver, Screw Attack can take care of the first destructible block before the Power Bomb detonation reaches the other two. Hold left when entering the room to damage bounce into the hole and bomb your way through. You can handle [[Dessgeega|Dessgeegas]] in a similar manner as the Kihunters. Power Bomb the statue and descend through the spikes. You can [[Kagoing|kago]] through both spike platforms with proper timing, but be careful not to fall into the acid below if you manage to kago through the second.

The [[Space Pirate (fighting)|steel pirates]] can be handled in a number of ways. This [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/steels%20slow.mp4 slow method] is ideal for beginners and is pretty safe. This [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/steels%20fast.mp4 faster method] involves interrupting the first pirate in such a way that he does not kick forward before throwing his fin, and only throws one fin before spinjumping, causing him to react faster than normal. The second pirate has to be alerted at the appropriate time during this so that they will overlap each other when they become vulnerable, allowing one charge shot to strike both. An easy way to alert the second at the right time is to stutter once as you move towards him after passing by the first.

Afterward, you can Space Jump through the next two rooms with ease.

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/ridley.mp4 Ridley] takes 30 Super Missiles or 20 charged [[Wave Beam|Wave]]/[[Ice Beam|Ice]]/[[Plasma Beam|Plasma]] shots to kill. Super Missiles have more damage per second, so feel free to use them in conjunction with charge shots if you are comfortable doing so - mainly, if you are comfortable with the possibility of not receiving them back later and can do the math. When you are sure you have dealt enough damage to force [[Ridley|Ridley's]] explosion, you can wait underneath him for him to pick you up, or you can try springing up into his claws. Finally, you can opt to skip Ridley's drops if you want to save a few seconds.

== Draygon ==

Make your way back to the top of the [[Red Keyhunter Shaft|first Kihunter room]] and go through the door on the right. Head up through the [[Boulder|Boulders]] and [[Fune|Funes]] (freeze things or Screw Attack through things if you need to) and take the hidden left path. Make your way to the door on the top left, then do the same for the next room. Again, Screw Attack can take care of the Kihunters, as well as the destructible pillars in the room after them. Exit left out of that room, into the [[Bubble Mountain|bubble room]]. Drop down to the bottom, Power Bombing the pipe away so you can use the bottom left door to take the [[Frog Speedway|save station hallway]] back to the elevator. Taking out the [[Cacatac]] and nearby [[Waver]] beforehand with Missiles can alleviate lag generated by the Power Bomb.

Blow open the [[Glass Tunnel|glass tube]] to Maridia if you didn't previously and head up. Take the second door on the right (above the [[Skultera]]) and jump through the transition so you can jump up to the door above. When you come out of the door, charge a shinespark using the ground to the right and shinespark diagonally right to the top right door. Shoot open the center flooring, drop down, and enter the green door. Blow away the bottom pipes with a Power Bomb and walljump up the pipes to the top left door. Blast through the [[Botwoon Hallway|maze of pipes]] (the upper pipes with beam shots, the lower pipes with [[Speed Booster]]) to the right door.

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/botwoon.mp4 Botwoon] is the first of three foes that can be obliterated by the combination of [[X-Ray Scope]] and Plasma Beam, called [[X-Plasma]]. When a charged shot is active inside Botwoon's head hitbox, you can tap X-Ray Scope on and off to cause it to deal damage multiple times. With charged Wave/Ice/Plasma, Botwoon only requires four connections to kill.

Exit the room once the pillar has been removed and speed through the next room. If you exit the room before the pillar has been fully removed, it may cause both the pillar and Botwoon to respawn if you reenter the room, costing substantial time. Make sure to fire a beam shot straight forward as you reach the downward slope - the one before the sand pit with respawning Zoas - so you can enter the next room without losing speed. If you cannot perform the "[[Colosseum|full halfie]]" in the next room, it can be slightly faster to Space Jump through the room instead of opting for the "halfie" if you can grab onto the ledge instead of falling after the crash animation. Doing so will also conserve ~60 health. Afterward, blast open the green door and the eye door below.

{{#ev:youtube|IGQ3L-1QMh8}}

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/draygon.mp4 Draygon] is the second of three foes which X-Plasma makes quick work of. You'll want to take out the three turrets before finding a proper position. [[Draygon]] should explode after seven charged shot connections. If you are crouched while using X-Ray Scope, Draygon's death should force you into a standing position as a visual indication to stop using it. You should also hear a quick electrical sound as an auditory indicator. Like Ridley, skipping drops will save a few seconds, so instead of waiting on them, you can Space Jump up to the top door and leave once it unlocks.

== Phantoon ==

Head all the way back to the [[Mt. Everest|Maridian mountain area]] - the large area with many [[Sciser|Scisers]], [[Powamp|Powamps]], and grapple blocks above. Space Jump through the upper area to the top door and make your way to the [[Caterpillar Room|Red Brinstar elevator]]. A clever trick you can try to pull off in this area is springing out of the tunnel after the green gate, onto the elevator platform.

Power Bomb open the top door and the top right door of the next room. Space Jump over [[The Moat|the moat]]. Use the ground before [[West Ocean|the ocean]] to gain speed, then Space Jump over the ocean to the [[Wrecked Ship]]. Clear out the destructible blocks at the bottom of the [[Wrecked Ship Main Shaft|main shaft]] with beam shots as you descend down. Open the green door below, and the hidden eye door to the right of the next room.

[[Phantoon]] is the last encounter that X-Plasma will help against. Because Phantoon has to take damage from a different source before the beam can strike him multiple times, you should try to hit him with 1-2 regular Missiles when he opens to cause him to fly around. Hitting him with more than two in a barrage will cause him to shut. Then, swap to X-Ray Scope, and unleash charged Wave/Ice/Plasma with X-Ray Scope taps. A similar course of action can be taken regardless of which of Phantoon's openings you receive: [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20fast%20left.mp4 Fast Left] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20fast%20right.mp4 Fast Right] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20mid%20left.mp4 Medium Left] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20mid%20right.mp4 Medium Right] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20slow%20left.mp4 Slow Left] [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/phan%20slow%20right.mp4 Slow Right]

Afterward, you can exit the room with the infamous "door bomb" strategy and collect all the drops, or exit in a manner similar to exiting [[Bomb Torizo|Bomb Torizo's]] room to skip part of the drops, and [[mockball]] towards the destructible block in the tunnel.

== Mother Brain ==

Head back to the ocean. Shinespark or Space Jump over it after exiting the long moving walkway room. You can keep speed exiting the [[Wrecked Ship Entrance|Wrecked Ship's entry hallway]] with an appropriately-timed shot to hit the door, which if you're able, will allow you to Space Jump towards the moat, open the door to the moat before landing out of your Space Jump, perform a speedball, and spring over the moat after the room transition.

Continue to head straight left, past your ship, all the way back to the [[Green Pirates Shaft|room with five Space Pirates]]. Take the bottom right red door and run through the next hall.

In Tourian, you have a ton of options in this category regarding which items you use, which techniques you perform, and so on. One of which is Screw Attack. Screw Attack can deflect [[Metroid|Metroids]], protect against [[Mother Brain|Mother Brain's]] beam attacks (as can "[[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo-Screw]]"), and kill [[Tourian Space Pirate (all)|pirates]] during the escape, but having Screw Attack enabled makes skipping the Zebetites much more difficult.

The fastest method is to do the [[Mother Brain Room#Spring Ball Method|Spring Ball Zeb Skip]], which can potentially allow for a pauseless Tourian. This would require exiting [[Metroid Room 4]] with 700 hp, followed by taking no damage between that time and the end of Mother Brain 2. If you go for this, it's likely best to disable Varia Suit at the same time you disable Spazer upon activating the GT Code. If you take damage in this section, you can pause during Mother Brain to give yourself reserve energy before the rainbow beam and disable [[Varia Suit]], and do not need to pause at any earlier point in Tourian.

If you are not able to skip the Zebetites with Screw Attack on, but are able to skip the Super Metroid, then [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/elevator%20unequip.mp4 pause while you use the elevator] to disable it and Varia Suit, and later pause again before the rainbow beam to give yourself reserve energy. Pausing while using an elevator that is traveling downward will save 48 frames as it will cut out the part of the elevator animation where Samus is sent off-screen.

If you are not able to skip the Super Metroid, then you should pause right before using the [[Tourian Recharge Room|energy recharge station]] to disable Screw Attack and Varia Suit, as pausing in this manner will allow you to move during and after the pause fade-in before the station message appears, which saves slightly more time than if you paused on the elevator instead.

You do not necessarily have to disable Varia Suit; however, performing the [[Standup Glitch|stand-up glitch]] with Varia Suit enabled is slightly slower because it increases the amount of time Mother Brain will take before her scripted roar, which happens right before the Super Metroid appears. This is because you have to spend time lowering your health, which is something the stand-up glitch without Varia Suit in this category does not have to do. It also comes with a risk in that if you are not able to damage yourself quickly enough, Mother Brain will think she needs to use her rainbow beam a second time, which will probably kill Samus in this scenario. At the very least, it will kill any chance of reaping the stand-up glitch's benefits, as you will not be able to stand after a second rainbow beam stun in this category.

Head down and enter the left side. The right side yields a save station. When frozen, a Metroid will be destroyed by either a Super Missile or five regular Missiles. If you are caught by a Metroid, you can remove it with a regular bomb or kill it with three Power Bombs. Alternatively, you can exit and reenter the room.

You can Screw Attack through or boost off of the first [[Blue Sidehopper|Sidehopper]] to the door. If you do not know how to perform the Super Metroid skip, then you can [https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/sidehopper%20damage.mp4 lower your health quickly by abusing invulnerability]. Charge a shot while holding angle down and jump repeatedly into the side of the Sidehopper that appears on the left. Having Screw Attack enabled here will greatly improve the rate in which you can reduce your health due to its ability to reset invulnerability. Additionally, [https://ia902300.us.archive.org/26/items/OfvipVault/super%20metroid%20facing%20comparison.mp4 having Samus face right instead of left when the Super Metroid brings her down to 01 energy] will save close to a second. Samus will not perform the animation of her stumbling back to her feet if she is facing right during the stun.

Visit the refill station to the left if you need to. As explained previously, the refill station provides the best time to pause to unequip items if you need to.

If you have enough ammo to perform a [[Crystal Flash]] at this point, you may find it more beneficial to skip the recharge station, unequip Varia Suit and Screw Attack while giving yourself all of your Reserve Tank energy, and then after successfully defeating Mother Brain's second phase, quickly damaging yourself low enough (if you need to) and activating the Crystal Flash before being struck by Mother Brain's rainbow beam. What is important about this is that the Crystal Flash needs to give you 700 energy before rainbow beam connects, otherwise you will not be able to perform stand-up, or worse, rainbow beam may bring your energy to zero. You will likely lose a small amount of time on Mother Brain's first phase from needing to conserve at least 10 Super Missiles here; however, if you are successfully able to perform a Crystal Flash in this manner, you should save roughly six seconds compared to using the refill station. The amount of time you save performing a Crystal Flash is somewhat dependent on how many Super Missiles you are free to use on the doors leading to Mother Brain, as well as Mother Brain's first phase. The six seconds estimate is based on if you have 20 Super Missiles after leaving the last Metroid room, so having less than 13 would probably result in Crystal Flash not saving time, since you would then need to use regular Missiles on doors leading to Mother Brain, as well as only use Missiles on Mother Brain's first phase.

Head right through the red and eye doors. The blue door is another save station.

Perform the [[Mother Brain Room#Zebetite Glitch|Zebetite skip]] in whichever manner you choose from the page. Make your way to Mother Brain's tank, dodging turrets and Rinkas along the way. Freeze and/or destroy the three Rinkas that spawn as you enter her direct area. Destroying most of them is ideal as they can cause lag by remaining on the screen. Break her glass with regular Missiles, and attack her directly with Super Missiles. Mother Brain in this phase takes 36 Missiles to trigger her next phase, and Super Missiles are equivalent to 3 regular Missiles; however, Mother Brain and her glass require for 18 hits to have struck them before the next phase is triggered, meaning that ideally, you would break the glass open with 6 Missiles and then damage her directly with 0-3 Missiles and 9-12 Supers (an amount that adds up to 12). Nine total Missiles followed by nine total Super Missiles is the most optimal combination for this phase.

Mother Brain's second phase, like Ridley, takes 20 charged Ice/Wave/Plasma shots to finish. Super Missiles only deal half as much compared to Ridley, so they are not efficient here. Mother Brain will be able to use her explosive red beam attack after the 16th charged shot lands, so watch out for it. Both Screw Attack and pseudo-Screw can protect against her eye laser and red beam attacks, although such protective measures should not be necessary. The fight should not last longer than half a minute, and you should have plenty of Reserve Tank energy in case something goes horribly wrong.

After you have dealt enough damage to trigger the rainbow beam, refill your health using your Reserve Tanks. Now is also the last opportunity to disable Varia Suit. Perform the [[Standup Glitch|stand-up glitch]] as explained on the page to defeat her third phase.

[https://archive.org/download/GTClassic/mb.mp4 This video] will demonstrate the manner in which you can defeat Mother Brain's second and third phases in this category.

== Escape ==

A cue for when to escape the room at 3'00"00 flat on the timer is to jump and hold left while angled down the moment you see the entire word "ESCAPE" appear on screen. Then, simply continue to hold angle down and the shoot button as you run left through the pillars - this way, none of them should block you.

Fall down to the right. Run to the right and make sure to charge a spark before hitting the wall. Unleash the spark diagonally, open the door by firing a shot directly down, and then jump through the door. Even if you don't have Screw Attack equipped, you should have invulnerability from the pirate's laser after the spark heading into this room, which should allow you to pass through the pirate above you if you move quickly enough.

Head up and to the right, drop down and head left, drop down again, taking out pirates on the right as you fall, and climb up the platforms until you reach the right door. Make sure to hold run along this floor so you can charge a spark in the next room, shooting the pirates if necessary. Make sure you are against the right wall of [[Climb|the shaft]] before you spark directly up so you don't accidentally connect with any platforms. You should know where you are by now, so head back to your ship from here.

Record Progression

2022-12-01T23:13:49Z

Amh: /* Reverse Boss Order */

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Any% GT Code]] were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For [[0%|Low% Glitched]] (and [[14%|low%]] categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains [[Moonwalk#Moonfall|moonfall]].

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

Prior to Smokey's 56:22 listed above, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the input movie files for only some of these runs are known to still exist. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

With the possible exception of Smokey's runs, all of the runs listed below were confirmed to be performed in multiple segments.

Record Progression

2022-12-01T23:13:29Z

Amh: broken link

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Any% GT Code]] were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For [[0%|Low% Glitched]] (and [[14%|low%]] categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains [[Moonwalk#Moonfall|moonfall]].

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

===Ancient History===

Prior to Smokey's 56:22 listed above, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the input movie files for only some of these runs are known to still exist. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

RBO is the category with the most route variations. The one you will want to use depends on how safe you wish to be, and/or how fast you are capable of being in a run.

=Routes and Methods=

When running RBO, there are many considerations to make for which route you want to use. The route used typically depends on the runner's skill level and preference. This section drives to outline many of the route choices available to the runner.

==Double Norfair Visit==

Double Norfair Visit route has classically been the RBO route. This route involves the runner visiting Norfair twice throughout the entire run. Typically the runner collects the Brinstar Reserve Tank and at least 2 Energy Tanks and immediately heading to Norfair to do an early hell run through Norfair, collecting Speed Booster, Wave Beam, Power Bombs, and Grapple Beam. After this the runner backtracks to Brinstar and Crateria for more item collection before returning to Norfair for a second time and heading to Lower Norfair to fight Ridley.

Advantages to Double Norfair Visit Route
* Allows collection of Crateria Super Missiles
* Allows collection of Big Pink Water Energy Tank
* Allows early Maridia route

Disadvantages to Double Norfair Visit Route
* Requires an early hell run, which is easy to die in
* Route is overall slower than a Single Norfair Visit

==Single Norfair Visit==
Single Norfair Visit route involves the runner collecting all the needed powerups in Crateria and Brinstar before ever entering Norfair. This route requires picking up early powerbombs, whether it is Red Tower powerbombs or etecoons powerbombs (via moondance), and collecting many powerups without usual items. The Big Pink E-Tank gate needs to be opened with the Super Missile trick since the runner doesn't have wave beam, Gauntlet can't be cleared with Speed Booster, and other differences.

This route is typically considered a more advanced route as you have a much lower ammo count going into Ridley and aren't able to pick up as many Energy Tanks either.

There were two variants of this route: (1) continuing up the Red Tower Elevator after collecting Power Bombs, looping back through Gauntlet and the rest of the Brinstar powerups; or (2) Doing Gauntlet immediately after picking up Bombs, and then backtracking through Brinstar for item collection after picking up Red Tower powerbombs. From research both routes are roughly identical in time.

However, there are more efficient variants of single Norfair visit, such as: replacing the Gauntlet Energy Tank with the Norfair Reserve Tank, or not getting either tank and go into Lower Norfair with only 7 tanks (6 energy tanks and 1 reserve tank); and doing [[moondance]] to get access to the etecoons area without powerbombs to get powerbombs earlier.

A newbie to the category simply looking to complete a run could do this route, then go back to collect the Crateria Supers, Big Pink Water Tank, and do early Maridia after collecting Norfair items. This route would technically be a Double Norfair visit, but leverages the advantages of both Norfair visit routes at a large cost of time.

Advantages to Single Norfair Visit Route
* Provides ample energy tanks for the regular Norfair hell run to pick up Speed Booster, Wave Beam, and Grapple Beam
* Route is overall faster than a Double Norfair Visit

Disadvantages to Single Norfair Visit Route
* Crateria Super Missiles and Big Pink Water Energy Tank can't be collected
* Does not allow for Early Maridia

==Early Maridia==

An option new runners to RBO typically want to take is to visit Maridia early on in the run (before killing Ridley) and collect Super Missiles and Energy Tanks there. A runner could potentially collect as many as two extra Energy Tanks and two extra Super Missile powerups, making the rest of the run much more comfortable to complete. Typically, only the Mama Turtle E-Tank and Crab Supers are collected. The runner could go further into Maridia and collect the other Supers at the top of Maridia, and the E-Tank after Botwoon.

Advantages to Early Maridia
* Allows the collection of up to two more E-Tanks
* Allows the collection of up to two (or three) more Super Missile powerups

Disadvantages to Early Maridia
* Requires Ice Beam (and preferably wave beam) and maybe Grapple Beam to do
* Consumes a large amount of time

==Screw Attack/Golden Torizo Skip==

Another option the runner has in order to save time is to skip Golden Torizo, or both him and Screw Attack altogether.

Fighting Golden Torizo typically involves farming Super ammo back to full and picking up Screw Attack before going into the fight. The only reason to fight GT is to collect the Super Missile powerup in the room.

Advantages to skipping Golden Torizo
* Saves time to not have to perform the fight
* Doesn't require refilling Super Ammo needed for the fight

Disadvantages to skipping Golden Torizo
* Missing collection of a Super Missile powerup
* Missing out on opportunity to collect power bombs from drops

Additionally, the runner can skip going to the left altogether and skip both Golden Torizo and Screw Attack. While this saves a great deal of time, the runner is missing out on the helpfulness of Screw Attack and a Super Missile powerup. Skipping both Screw Attack and Golden Torizo should be considered an extremely advanced move and is recommended as one of the last route changes made in order to save time.

Advantages to skipping Screw Attack/Golden Torizo
* Saves a huge amount of time
* Don't have to deal with the Green Gate Glitch

Disadvantages to skipping Screw Attack/Golden Torizo
* Loses Screw Attack, making the LN Escape much more perilous
* Missing collection of a Super Missile powerup
* Missing out on opportunity to collect power bombs from drops
* Missing out on opportunity to fill up Supers

Route used includes a single Norfair visit, limiting the number of missiles picked up to 25 and does a lot of RNG manipulation on farming drops in Lower Norfair. LN escape is also done without a Crystal Flash.

Any% is the most popular category for Super Metroid. As indicated above, this category involves defeating all major bosses as fast as possible without the use of [[Out of Bounds]], the [[Golden Torizo Code|Golden Torizo code]], or the [[Spacetime Beam|Space Time Beam]].

This description of the category was written by Garrison, [https://speeddemosarchive.com/SuperMetroid.html as quoted by Zoast on SpeedDemosArchive]:

Definition for Traditional style Super Metroid any%:
-Defeats the main four bosses depicted in the statues blocking entrance to Tourian (Kraid, Phantoon, Draygon, Ridley) and goes on to defeat Mother Brain as well and go through the escape sequence.
-Stays within the boundaries of the map and limits the use of clips to entirely in boundary use (Wrecked Ship ceiling clip, Zebetite Skip)
-Does not use the GT Code
-No Abuse of Space/Time Beam or its variants

The heart and soul of the traditional any% category is to encapsulate the feeling it was to go through the game after first play and try to go through it as fast as possible. All exploits are done with the intention of working around the general design of the game, not the programming and/or its oversights.

All any% runs should start by using a 0:00 file that has skipped the intro. You can create such a file by letting the intro play, then resetting once Samus has landed in Ceres Station. See the [[Timing]] page for information about when the run starts and ends.

=Routes=

The main differentiating factor in routing Any% is the boss order, notated by the first letter of each boss. The two primary routes runners use are KPDR (Kraid, Phantoon, Draygon, Ridley), and PRKD (Phantoon, Ridley, Kraid, Draygon).

The KPDR route is highly recommended for beginners, since it is considered a much easier route to survive in.

The PRKD route is faster than the KPDR route by roughly two minutes in real time (and equal Real Time runs are slower by a similar amount in game time in comparison); however, it is similar in difficulty to [[14%]], and is not recommended to begin with. Many experienced players would not recommend that you use the PRKD route until you have at least achieved a time below 50 minutes in the category with the KPDR route. In order to realize the route's timesave, runners must have sufficient mastery of the techniques required for the route. Much of the timesave comes from completing all of Norfair in a single pass, but this is offset by many of the individual rooms being slower due to the equipment loadout, such as navigating Wrecked Ship without Speed Booster, and Lower Norfair without Plasma Beam and Space Jump.

A PKRD (Phantoon, Kraid, Ridley, Draygon) route is considered a slightly safer alternative to PRKD that is only roughly 12 seconds slower. With the PRKD route, the purpose of visiting Kraid's Lair after Lower Norfair is not only because it is faster to take care of with Speed Booster equipped than without, but because it (in particular, [[Mini-Kraid]]) serves as a great way to refill Super Missiles. For these reasons, in the PKRD route, compared to the PRKD route, about six seconds are lost due to the lack of Speed Booster for Kraid's Lair, and another six seconds are lost (potentially more or less due to the variability of drops) due to having to find some other means to acquire Super Missiles after Ridley. The obvious benefit of defeating Kraid before Ridley is that you will have Varia Suit, which will significantly reduce the amount of energy required to [[Gravity Jump]] into Lower Norfair. You will also consistently have more Super Missiles entering Norfair, which will make drops less of an issue on the path to Ridley, and will have the option to acquire Kraid's Energy Tank, which will allow you to have three Energy Tanks for Lower Norfair, and potentially skip later Energy Tanks such as Ridley's and Botwoon's.

The PDKR/PKDR/PDRK routes, known as "hybrid" routes, visit Wrecked Ship early, then do a two-pass run through Norfair as seen in KPDR. This eliminates the backtracking to go back up [[Red Tower]], but because Wrecked Ship itself is slower without Speed Booster, it's unknown what, if any, timesave these routes provide over KPDR.

Every possible permutation of boss orders is technically possible (RDPK has its own category called [[Reverse Boss Order]]), but the rest are more difficult and slower than those listed above.

The information below includes a basic outline of how to progress through each route, and as such, is likely missing many details. If you are interested in learning this category, it is recommended that you instead watch one of the tutorials listed at the bottom of the page, as well as observe plenty of speedruns to get an idea of how you should move through rooms.

Complete Ceres Station.

'''Crateria & Blue Brinstar'''

From the landing area, head left into the next room, then travel down into the shaft. In the shaft, fall down the right side. Go through the door, and past that room into the next one. Go into the next room and take the elevator down to Brinstar.

From the elevator, go left and collect the [[Morphing Ball]]. Then head right through the door and down through the blocks. Go left through the door and collect [[Missile (Awakening)]]. Return to the elevator and go up. Don't use any missiles until you encounter the first red door of the route.

Go left through the door and through the next door. Climb up the shaft and go up the door. Climb up and go right, rolling into a ball to get into the small passage. Fall down and go right through the door. Open the next door with missiles, then go through and collect the [[Bomb]]. Fight the [[Bomb Torizo]]. Leave that room and go through the next door. Climb up, preferably by doing the [[Alcatraz escape]], then head left through the bombable wall. Go through the next door. Run down this room and collect [[Energy Tank (Terminator)]]. Go through the next door and go down and left through the door. Go through the next door and down the elevator to Brinstar.

'''Green/Pink/Red Brinstar & Kraid's Lair'''

Fall down and open the first door on the right, but don't go through. Do a running jump into that room, perform a [[Mockball]] and collect the [[Early Super Missile]]. Head down from the [[Super Missile]] and leave the room. Fall down and open the next door on the right. Continue through that room into the next one. Head down and [[Bomb]] the block. While the [[Bomb]] is going off, head left and collect [[Missile (Charge Beam)]]. Then go through where the block was and collect the [[Charge Beam]]. Head up from the [[Charge Beam]] and right through the green door. Head down through this room and straight through the next one. When you get to red Brinstar, head down and go right through the door. Go through the next door.

From here you can continue forward, or climb up and collect [[Spazer]]. Collecting the [[Spazer]] will make the run easier in general, as you will require fewer shots to defeat many enemies. Either way, continue to the right until you get to the elevator room, but don't go down it. Instead use a [[Super Missile]] on the wall to the right and use the morph ball to get through it. Perform a [[Walljump]] to get up into Kraid's lair. Proceed through the lair until you get to [[Kraid]]. Defeat him, and collect the [[Varia Suit]]. Collect [[Energy Tank (Kraid)]] on the way back to the elevator. Go down the elevator to Norfair.

'''Norfair & Red Brinstar'''

Head down and open the third door on the left. In this room, collect [[Energy Tank (Hi-Jump Boots)]] and kill the [[Sova]] before it goes off screen. Open the flashing door, but go left and down to collect the [[Hi-Jump Boots]]. Climb back up and collect the [[Missile (Hi-Jump Boots)]] on the way out of the room. Climb up the next room and go through the second door on the right. Continue to the right until you get to a large bubble room. Perform a [[Walljump]] to get to the top of the room on the right side, and enter the top right door. Go up here and right through the door. You can collect [[Missile (Speed Booster)]] here to help with Tourian later in the game, but it is optional. Go through the door and collect the [[Speed Booster]].

From the [[Speed Booster]], head back into the large bubble room and take the second door down on the right. Go down this room and go in the first door on the right. Jump across the platforms shoot the gate, then collect the [[Missile (Wave Beam)]] on the way to the right. Perform a [[Walljump]] to get to the door and go through it to collect the [[Wave Beam]]. Return to the large bubble room, then head down through the morph ball maze and through the door to the left. Continue left until you get back to the room with the elevator.

At this point you can collect the [[Ice Beam]]. Collecting it later will save about ten seconds of real-time, but make the run harder. For a newer player, it is recommended to get it at this point. If you are delaying [[Ice Beam]], simply go up the elevator. If not, climb up and go through the third room on the left. Continue through the next two door, then climb up and pass through the morph ball tunnel and go through the door to get the [[Ice Beam]]. Return to the elevator and go up it.

Head left through six doors. If you have less than 300 health, take the energy refill to the left. Climb up the shaft and go through the door on the right at the very top. Go right through the next door, then go down through the floor and open the green door on the left. Collect the [[Power Bomb (Alpha)]] and go back through the door on the right. Climb back up the room. The door on the right contains a [[Save Station]]. Go up the elevator.

'''Crateria & Wrecked Ship'''

Use a [[Power Bomb]] and exit the elevator room and use another one to open it from the other side. Go up, destroy the blocks above and then place another [[Power Bomb]] so that you open the door to the right. Run to the left, turn around, then charge a [[Shinespark]] and use it to go through the right door. In the next room you will get [[Missile (Moat)]] unless you went too high with the [[Shinespark]]. If you missed it you can collect it on your way back later.

Now you can either go through the next room by using another [[Shinespark]] or by jumping/walljumping to conserve some health. If you decide to jump through it, consider un-equipping [[Hi-Jump Boots]] so you won't have to time your jumps and walljumps. When you reach the right side shoot a [[Super Missile]] and continue into the Wrecked Ship. Make your way to the bottom, morph and [[Bomb]] the block in the narrow passage to the right. Kill the eye guarding the entrance to [[Phantoon]]. Defeat him and then go back up until you reach a morph ball maze, open the door to the left and collect [[Super Missile (Wrecked Ship West)]]. Exit through the door you came.

Continue upwards and go through the door at the top. Kill all enemies in the next room and take the exit to the left. Now head left until you find another morph ball maze. Shoot the part that's blocking your way into the tunnel, then follow it and go right until you reach a room full of spikes. Here you will run and jump as far as you can, land in the spikes and repeat until you reach the Chozo Statue. Morph into his hand and wait for it to take you down through the spikes. Go through the door to the left when you regain control of Samus. Collect the [[Gravity Suit]] and then continue through the door on the left. Keep going left and make it back to the elevator room that you previously opened with a [[Power Bomb]]. Use the elevator to go back down to Brinstar.

'''Red Brinstar & Maridia'''

Take the second door to the left (that you also previously opened with a [[Power Bomb]]) and keep going to the left until you reach a shaft. Go all the way down and then progress to the right. You will eventually reach a room that looks like a glass tube surrounded by water, place a [[Power Bomb]] to break it. Downwards you will find another [[Save Station]]. Use the door above to reach Maridia.

Use a [[Walljump]] to reach the second door to the right. In the next room head straight up through another door using more walljumps. If you then [[Walljump]] on the wall to the left you will be able to see an enemy enter a secret morph ball maze. In there you can collect the optional [[Super Missile (Main Street)]]. It helps with [[Draygon]] and Tourian consistency but is not recommended if you can/will [[Shinespark]] [[Draygon]]. If you collect the [[Super Missile]], then go back out of the morph ball maze.

Now you will charge a [[Shinespark]] and use it to go diagonally to the right. Open the door to the right. Shoot the destructible blocks on the floor, go down and through the green door to the right. In the next room you place a [[Power Bomb]] to go down and then make use of walljumps to reach the upper left door and enter it. Shoot at destructible walls to the right and keep going right until you get "stuck". You then want to run along the floor from left to right so that the [[Speed Booster]] kicks in and let's you through the rest of the walls. Then shoot and exit through the door leading to [[Botwoon]]. After [[Botwoon]] is defeated, go right.

In the next room you can collect an optional [[Energy Tank (Botwoon)]] by going through the morph ball maze above the first pool of quicksand. It helps with surviving [[Draygon]], [[Ridley]] and [[Mother Brain]]. If you collect the [[Energy Tank]] go back out of to the left of the maze. Either way, speed boost your way to the right until you reach the last pool of quicksand stand in it and shoot to restock on ammo and health. When you are done with that, continue through the door on the right. [[Walljump]] on the right wall and exit the top right door.

Make your way through this room by jumping and walljumping. When you reach it's end you can take the upper red door to a [[Save Station]] to make a safety save. Go down the lower green door, jump down through the spikes, kill the eye guarding the left door and enter it. Prepare to face [[Draygon]] and some measly turrets. The turrets can each be destroyed with three regular missiles before [[Draygon]] appears. After you defeat [[Draygon]], go through the door to the left and collect [[Space Jump]].

Head back to the [[Colosseum|long room]] next to the [[Save Station]], go through the door on the left side. Take the first door to the left (it was grey before and could not be opened). Keep on going until you reach another door at the top left of this room. Use space jumping and/or walljumping to reach the door. Go down and left to exit the next room. Then through another door to the left.

Go left and then upwards until you reach a Y-section, take the right path and continue upwards to another Y-section, pick the left path. [[Space Jump]] and/or [[Walljump]] to go upwards and head through the door to the right. Make your way up and exit through the door to the right. Exit another door to the right. The pirates in this room cannot be destroyed until you have collected the [[Plasma Beam]], so go down and right until you've found it. After that dispatch of all enemies to unlock the door and go back up to the big room you came from.

Now jump up to the top. Go left and then down and left until you reach a green door leading downwards. Go through it and enjoy the ride. When you reach the other end of the pipe use a [[Power Bomb]] and take the left exit. Keep heading left until you find a room with another broken glass pipe. Use Morph ball to go down below the platform in the middle of that room. Go through the door to the left and keep heading left until you reach a gate with a green box. Use a [[Super Missile]] to open it and head down through the second to last pit and then go right and take the elevator back down to Norfair.

'''Norfair & Lower Norfair'''

If you delayed [[Ice Beam]], get it as described earlier and return to the shaft. Take the door at the bottom right. Go through three additional doors to the right then take one downwards. Go all the way down and take the second door to the right and exit that room through the door to the right. Go down and place a [[Power Bomb]] to open the door to the left and travel into a room with a lava pit. [[Space Jump]] up to the door in the upper left corner of this room and exit the room. The next door contains a [[Save Station]]. Take the elevator down to Lower Norfair.

First go right and exit this room, then place a [[Power Bomb]] and go down and take the door on the right. The [[Pillars]] to the right can be destroyed with power bombs, try to place them so that they take out as many [[Pillars]] as possible and exit the door on the other side as quickly as you can. In the next room make use of walljumps/space jumps and place a [[Power Bomb]] next to the ceiling, go up through it and spinjump into the upper right door. In this massive room you would want to go down and forwards until you pass the big stalactite and then [[Space Jump]] straight up through the room. When you reach the top, take the door to the right.

Optionally you can continue to the right, go through the wall to the right and then head down to grab the [[Energy Tank (Lower Norfair Fireflea Room)]] to help survive [[Ridley]] and [[Mother Brain]]. This is a pretty big time waster so it's not recommended unless you can't finish without it.

Either way head down by shooting the blocks on the floor and drop down to the next room. Midway on the way down to the right there is another [[Save Station]]. Go all the way down the shaft and bomb your way into the morph ball passage. Go through it until you reach it's end, use a [[Power Bomb]] to open the door and clear the last block at the same time. After that you go through another morph ball passage to the left. If you are out of power bombs at this point you can [[bomb]] the block in the down left corner and collect [[Power Bomb of shame]], but only if you are completely empty on them. Use a [[Power Bomb]] to clear the blocks between the two statues, make your way to the bottom and go through the door to the left.

Defeat the [[Metal Pirates Room|steel pirates]], then pass through three more doors to the left. Defeat [[Ridley]], open the door on your left. In this room shoot the block under the door you came through and collect [[Energy Tank (Ridley)]]. Now head all the way back up to the vertical room next to the last [[Save Station]] and go back to the top, this time take the door to the right. In the next room make it to the top and go through the left wall, open the hidden door behind it. Now go through the door to the upper left and follow this path until you reach a room with green bubble tiles on the ceiling.

Go to the left to reach [[Bubble Mountain]] and head for the lower left door but don't go through it. Instead place a [[Power Bomb]], go down and take the left door. Go left until you reach the room after the [[Save Station]], head up and take the Elevator to Brinstar.

'''Brinstar, Maridia & Crateria (to G4)'''

Go into the room with the broken tube and go back up into Maridia. Take the same way as you did the first time but when you reach the big room where you used [[Shinespark]] to get to the upper right, [[Space Jump]] and [[Wall Jump]] up through the room and take the door at the top middle. Now go up to the top, take the morph ball passage to the left, open the door, open the green gate and go into red Brinstar through another morph ball passage. Take the elevator up to Crateria.

Go up through the door and take the door to the top left. Now go all the way to the left through three doors. Go down and take two doors to the right. Wait for all the statues to turn grey, then go down and take the elevator down to Tourian.

'''Tourian & The Escape'''

The door to the right leads to a [[Save Station]]. Take the other door to continue. In the next couple of rooms, kill all the [[Metroid|Metroids]] to progress until you reach an area cover in sand. Head left until you reach the now grown Metroid from the beginning of the game. When it has drained all your health, continue left and head down left to replenish your health. Go back out and then through the door to the right. At the end of this room, kill the eye and exit through the door. The next room to the left contains another [[Save Station]]. Take the second door to the left and use the [[Zebetite Glitch]], go all the way to the left and then defeat [[Mother Brain]].

Exit through the opening to the left, go down through the door, take the next door to the right. Now run along the bottom floor and use a [[Shine Spark]] to reach the door in the upper right. In the next room, go all the way up, then follow the path taking you back down again. [[Wall Jump]] to the top using the left wall. Run to the right until you reach the shaft and make it up to the top (you can use a [[Shinespark]] to reach it quickly), exit the room. Then go up to the top, take the door to the right, then run and jump into your ship. THE END.

==PRKD==

Complete Ceres Station.

'''Crateria & Blue Brinstar'''

From the landing area, head left into the next room, then travel down into the shaft. In the shaft, fall down the right side. Go through the door, and past that room into the next one. Go into the next room and take the elevator down to Brinstar.

From the elevator, go left and collect the [[Morphing Ball]]. Then head right through the door and down through the blocks. Go left through the door and collect [[Missile (Awakening)]]. Return to the elevator and go up. Don't use any missiles until you encounter the first red door of the route.

Go left through the door and through the next door. Climb up the shaft and go up the door. Climb up and go right, rolling into a ball to get into the small passage. Fall down and go right through the door. Open the next door with missiles, then go through and collect the [[Bomb]]. Fight the [[Bomb Torizo]]. Leave that room and go through the next door. Climb up, preferably by doing the [[Alcatraz escape]], then head left through the bombable wall. Go through the next door. Run down this room and collect [[Energy Tank (Terminator)]]. Go through the next door and go down and left through the door. Go through the next door and down the elevator to Brinstar.

'''Green/Pink/Red Brinstar'''

Fall down and open the first door on the right, but don't go through. Do a running jump into that room, perform a [[Mockball]] and collect the [[Early Super Missile]]. Head down from the [[Super Missile]] and leave the room. Fall down and open the next door on the right. Continue through that room into the next one. Head down and [[Bomb]] the block. While the [[Bomb]] is going off, head left and collect [[Missile (Charge Beam)]]. Then go through where the block was and collect the [[Charge Beam]]. Head up from the [[Charge Beam]] and right through the green door. Head down through this room and straight through the next one. When you get to red Brinstar, wall jump up the shaft and go right through the door. Go through the next door. Head down then go left to collect the [[Power Bomb]]. Go back right and head all the way up the next room and ride the elevator up (using [[Power Bomb]] to open the left-hand door on the way up).

'''Crateria & Wrecked Ship'''

Use a [[Power Bomb]] and exit the elevator room and use another one to open it from the other side. Go up, destroy the blocks above and then place another [[Power Bomb]] so that you open the door to the right. Go to the right, performing a [[continuous walljump]] to cross [[The Moat|the moat]], collection the [[Missile]] in the process. Continue to the right, with proper jumping you can make it to the [[Super Missile]] door and continue into the wrecked ship.

Make your way to the bottom, morph and [[Bomb]] the block in the narrow passage to the right. Kill the eye guarding the entrance to [[Phantoon]]. Defeat him and then go back up until you reach a morph ball maze, open the door to the left and collect [[Super Missile (Wrecked Ship West)]]. Exit through the door you came.

Continue upwards and go through the door at the top. Kill all enemies in the next room and take the exit to the left. Now head left until you find another morph ball maze. Shoot the part that's blocking your way into the tunnel, then follow it and go right until you reach a room full of spikes. Here you will run and jump as far as you can, land in the spikes and repeat until you reach the Chozo Statue. Morph into his hand and wait for it to take you down through the spikes. Go through the door to the left when you regain control of Samus. Collect the [[Gravity Suit]] and then continue through the door on the left. Keep going left and make it back to the elevator room that you previously opened with a [[Power Bomb]]. Use the elevator to go back down to Brinstar.

'''Red Brinstar & Norfair'''

Go down and go through the second door on the left (same room previously opened with a [[Power Bomb]] on the way up). Continue left through this room, and then make your way all the way down the red shaft, running and jumping through the right door at the bottom. Continue through this room, and then immediately head up and right through the [[Super Missile]] door in order to collect [[Spazer]] (allows for faster [[Ridley]] and [[Mother Brain]] fights).

Note: Alternate path to getting [[Spazer]]. It is possible to skip [[Spazer]], but for it to be a viable time-saving strat, extensive X-Factors must be used on [[Ridley]] and [[Mother Brain]], and is highly advised-against.

Exit [[Spazer]] room, and go down and to the right. Continue right through straight corridor, destroying the Maridia Tube with a [[Power Bomb]] on the way. Continue right, and go down the elevator into [[Norfair]].

Head down and open the third door on the left. In this room, collect [[Energy Tank (Hi-Jump Boots)]], then go left and down to collect the [[Hi-Jump Boots]]. Exit room, going immediately down, and walljump up the narrow shaft, laying a [[Power Bomb]] near the top. This kills the [[Sova]] and destroys the bomb blocks, allowing you to escape through the flashing door. Go up and open the [[Super Missile]] door on the top-left. Do a mockball to get under the gates, then go up and right to get [[Ice Beam]]. Leave ice room, then go back down to right. Continue through room, and freeze the green platforms in order to get enough distance to mockball through the next room and beat the closing gate.

Note: The order that [[Ice Beam]] and [[Hi-Jump Boots]] are collected is up to personal preference. If done ideally, however, going to [[Hi-Jump Boots]] first is thought to be the fastest route.

Entering from the top right door in the [[Business Center]], continue to the right until you get to a large bubble room. Perform a [[Walljump]] to get to the top of the room on the right side, and enter the top right door. Go up here and right through the door. Go through the door and collect the [[Speed Booster]]. From the [[Speed Booster]], head back into the large bubble room and take the second door down on the right. Go down this room and go in the first door on the right. Jump across the platforms shoot the gate, then collect the [[Missile (Wave Beam)]] on the way to the right. Perform a [[Walljump]] to get to the door and go through it to collect the [[Wave Beam]]. Enter the lower-left blue door from the room before [[Wave Beam]], and continue down to the lower right door.

Keep following this path until it diverges, and take the lower route, opening the [[Power Bomb]] door towards [[Lower Norfair]]. One can either do a [[Shinespark]] (known here as "[[Lava Dive Room#Lava Spark|Lava Spark]]") or a [[Gravity Jump]] to get past the lava into [[Lower Norfair]]. Take the elevator to descend into [[Lower Norfair]].

The door to the right leads to a [[Save Station]]. Take the other door to continue. In the next couple of rooms, kill all the [[Metroid|Metroids]] to progress until you reach an area cover in sand. Head left until you reach the now grown [[Metroid]] from the beginning of the game. When it has drained all your health, continue left and head down left to replenish your health. Go back out and then through the door to the right. At the end of this room, kill the eye and exit through the door. The next room to the left contains another [[Save Station]]. Take the second door to the left and use the [[Zebetite Glitch]], go all the way to the left and then defeat [[Mother Brain]].

In the next room, go all the way up, then follow the path taking you back down again. [[Wall Jump]] to the top using the left wall. Run to the right until you reach the shaft and make it up to the top (you can use a [[Shinespark]] to reach it quickly), exit the room. Then go up to the top, take the door to the right, then run and jump into your ship. THE END.

Timeline of Discoveries

2022-11-30T16:47:57Z

Amh: typo

Summary: The TL;DR version is that basically, almost entirely everything has been discovered by Sniq, EternisedDragon, and Kejardon.

== 2002 ==

'''Kraid Quick Kill - July 2002 (unclear)'''

Earliest [https://discord.com/channels/98929157894836224/405095705703743498/1046960675710312568 reference found], attributed to player *mie*.

Adopted for runs in February 2004 by [https://archive.org/details/SuperMetroid_100 Red Scarlet] and [https://archive.org/details/SuperMetroid_058 Smokey].

== 2003 ==

'''Zebetite Skip - July 9, 2003'''

Player Pogo708 unknowingly skips the Zebetites. That event triggers further exploration of the glitch by deskjockey_, Ultima4701 and Kejardon.

At first, deskjockey_ stucks Samus in the Zebetite with a diagonal shinespark and Ultima4701 manages to finish the skip with Grapple (Speed+Grapple Zeb skip);

later, Ultima4701 finds a way to jump through the Zebetite without the need of Grapple (Speed Zeb skip);

at last, by understanding the mechanics of this Zeb skip, Kejardon develops the method of freezing a Rinka with Ice Beam and uses i-frames to get stuck inside the Zebetite (Ice Zeb skip).

'''Green Gate Glitch - September 24, 2003'''

Ultima4701 [https://web.archive.org/web/20040417200555/http://www.elazulspad.net/ultima/index.php posts] about MathOnNapkins discovering the [[Gate Glitch|green gate glitch]]:

"9/24/03 - All hail MathOnNapkins! A way beyond crucial green gates has been found! The ZMV is uploaded to the appropriate section."

== 2004 ==

'''Phantoon First Route - 25 July 2004'''

Taser Frenom [https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/465?CurrentPage=2&Highlight=8873#8873 proposes] and [https://tasvideos.org/146M demonstrates] that going to Wrecked Ship right after early game items collection is faster than going to Kraid's Lair. This becomes known as the "TAS route".

== 2005 ==

'''March 6, 2005'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/xraytime_scope_this_probably_needs_a_better_name.html Kejardon posts] about discovering [[Spacetime]]-like effects from using [[X-Ray Scope]] in certain places [[Out of Bounds]].

'''May 26, 2005'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/super_metroid_has_just_been_officially_broken_wide_open..html Kejardon posts] about Illy discovering [[X-Ray Climbing]].

'''April 1, 2007'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/13_completed_no_bossminiboss_run.html Kejardon] (under a pseudonym, see page 2 of the thread) posts an SMV showing completing the game with 13% by X-Ray Climbing in [[Golden Four]], then X-Ray Climbing in Mother Brain's Room to bypass the Mother Brain fight.

This run also came with this comment about another discovery in the game:

Finally, the trigger that makes Zebes explode is simply entering the room behind Mother Brain - all Mother Brain does is set the timer that kills you. It's a random tidbit of trivia I've only now had the chance to put to use.

== 2008 ==

'''May 9, 2008'''

Hotarubi posts [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZN-ILGyJsI this video] showing the springball strat used in [[Lower Norfair Spring Ball Maze Room]] for 100%.

During [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1099925976 this race] dueDillyQueen notices in chat that the rain in [[Landing Site]] is moving opposite directions for the two runners. PJBoy investigated this and found it depends on RNG: the rain's X speed is randomly set to -6, -4, or 6.

'''August 6, 2021'''

Susreime releases [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt0Ty4bS17A this video], showing that the Zebes Escape timer is disabled by killing [[Draygon]].

Record Progression

2022-11-29T02:20:05Z

Amh: red scarlet hundo 1:00 segmented

This page is meant to be a list of all record times for main page categories. Progression of categories before 2013 is difficult to figure out from public information, so some records may be missing.

Additionally, the vast majority of runs performed before 2005, which are listed as "ancient history", were performed in segments and using the ZSNES emulator.

Because [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Any% GT Code]] were split into separate categories, there is an overlap in times.

For [[0%|Low% Glitched]] (and [[14%|low%]] categories in general), a lower percentage obsoletes a higher percentage regardless of time.

Notes can give an indication on when a major change occurred to a category that the run incorporated, and that future runs would start to incorporate. Such changes include but are not limited to acquiring less items during the run and utilizing a different boss order.

Unless otherwise noted, every record from June 6, 2017 onward contains [[Moonwalk#Moonfall|moonfall]].

IPRB stands for "improved previous record by." (in seconds)

== [[Any%|Any% Real Time]] ==

===Ancient History===

Prior to Smokey's 56:22 listed above, the only documented speedruns were performed on the ZSNES emulator and, more unfortunately, the input movie files for only some of these runs are known to still exist. However, some information about the runs is available thanks to Archive.org.

With the possible exception of Smokey's runs, all of the runs listed below were confirmed to be performed in multiple segments.

Amh: kraid quick kill

Summary: The TL;DR version is that basically, almost entirely everything has been discovered by Sniq, EternisedDragon, and Kejardon.

== 2002 ==

'''Kraid Quick Kill - July 2002 (unclear)'''

Earliest [https://discord.com/channels/98929157894836224/405095705703743498/1046960675710312568 reference found], attributed to player *mie*.

Adopted for runs in February 2003 by [https://archive.org/details/SuperMetroid_100 Red Scarlet] and [https://archive.org/details/SuperMetroid_058 Smokey].

== 2003 ==

'''Zebetite Skip - July 9, 2003'''

Player Pogo708 unknowingly skips the Zebetites. That event triggers further exploration of the glitch by deskjockey_, Ultima4701 and Kejardon.

At first, deskjockey_ stucks Samus in the Zebetite with a diagonal shinespark and Ultima4701 manages to finish the skip with Grapple (Speed+Grapple Zeb skip);

later, Ultima4701 finds a way to jump through the Zebetite without the need of Grapple (Speed Zeb skip);

at last, by understanding the mechanics of this Zeb skip, Kejardon develops the method of freezing a Rinka with Ice Beam and uses i-frames to get stuck inside the Zebetite (Ice Zeb skip).

'''Green Gate Glitch - September 24, 2003'''

Ultima4701 [https://web.archive.org/web/20040417200555/http://www.elazulspad.net/ultima/index.php posts] about MathOnNapkins discovering the [[Gate Glitch|green gate glitch]]:

"9/24/03 - All hail MathOnNapkins! A way beyond crucial green gates has been found! The ZMV is uploaded to the appropriate section."

== 2004 ==

'''Phantoon First Route - 25 July 2004'''

Taser Frenom [https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/465?CurrentPage=2&Highlight=8873#8873 proposes] and [https://tasvideos.org/146M demonstrates] that going to Wrecked Ship right after early game items collection is faster than going to Kraid's Lair. This becomes known as the "TAS route".

== 2005 ==

'''March 6, 2005'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/xraytime_scope_this_probably_needs_a_better_name.html Kejardon posts] about discovering [[Spacetime]]-like effects from using [[X-Ray Scope]] in certain places [[Out of Bounds]].

'''May 26, 2005'''

This run also came with this comment about another discovery in the game:

Finally, the trigger that makes Zebes explode is simply entering the room behind Mother Brain - all Mother Brain does is set the timer that kills you. It's a random tidbit of trivia I've only now had the chance to put to use.

== 2008 ==

'''May 9, 2008'''

Hotarubi posts [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZN-ILGyJsI this video] showing the springball strat used in [[Lower Norfair Spring Ball Maze Room]] for 100%.

Timeline of Discoveries

2022-11-28T18:44:53Z

Amh: added proper ownership of m3 notes, as described by kejardon

Summary: The TL;DR version is that basically, almost entirely everything has been discovered by Sniq, EternisedDragon, and Kejardon.

== 2003 ==

'''Zebetite Skip - July 9, 2003'''

Player Pogo708 unknowingly skips the Zebetites. That event triggers further exploration of the glitch by deskjockey_, Ultima4701 and Kejardon.

At first, deskjockey_ stucks Samus in the Zebetite with a diagonal shinespark and Ultima4701 manages to finish the skip with Grapple (Speed+Grapple Zeb skip);

later, Ultima4701 finds a way to jump through the Zebetite without the need of Grapple (Speed Zeb skip);

at last, by understanding the mechanics of this Zeb skip, Kejardon develops the method of freezing a Rinka with Ice Beam and uses i-frames to get stuck inside the Zebetite (Ice Zeb skip).

'''Green Gate Glitch - September 24, 2003'''

Ultima4701 [https://web.archive.org/web/20040417200555/http://www.elazulspad.net/ultima/index.php posts] about MathOnNapkins discovering the [[Gate Glitch|green gate glitch]]:

"9/24/03 - All hail MathOnNapkins! A way beyond crucial green gates has been found! The ZMV is uploaded to the appropriate section."

== 2005 ==

'''March 6, 2005'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/xraytime_scope_this_probably_needs_a_better_name.html Kejardon posts] about discovering [[Spacetime]]-like effects from using [[X-Ray Scope]] in certain places [[Out of Bounds]].

'''May 26, 2005'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/super_metroid_has_just_been_officially_broken_wide_open..html Kejardon posts] about Illy discovering [[X-Ray Climbing]].

== 2007 ==

'''April 1, 2007'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/13_completed_no_bossminiboss_run.html Kejardon] (under a pseudonym, see page 2 of the thread) posts an SMV showing completing the game with 13% by X-Ray Climbing in [[Golden Four]], then X-Ray Climbing in Mother Brain's Room to bypass the Mother Brain fight.

This run also came with this comment about another discovery in the game:

Finally, the trigger that makes Zebes explode is simply entering the room behind Mother Brain - all Mother Brain does is set the timer that kills you. It's a random tidbit of trivia I've only now had the chance to put to use.

== 2008 ==

'''May 9, 2008'''

Hotarubi posts [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZN-ILGyJsI this video] showing the springball strat used in [[Lower Norfair Spring Ball Maze Room]] for 100%.

Timeline of Discoveries

2022-11-27T22:21:54Z

Amh: added zeb skip discovery

== 2003 ==

'''Zebetite Skip - July 9, 2003'''

Player Pogo708 unknowingly skips the Zebetites. That event triggers further exploration of the glitch by deskjockey_, Ultima4701 and Kejardon.

At first, deskjockey_ stucks Samus in the Zebetite with a diagonal shinespark and Ultima4701 manages to finish the skip with Grapple (Speed+Grapple Zeb skip);

later, Ultima4701 finds a way to jump through the Zebetite without the need of Grapple (Speed Zeb skip);

at last, by understanding the mechanics of this Zeb skip, Kejardon develops the method of freezing a Rinka with Ice Beam and uses i-frames to get stuck inside the Zebetite (Ice Zeb skip).

== 2005 ==

'''March 6, 2005'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/xraytime_scope_this_probably_needs_a_better_name.html Kejardon posts] about discovering [[Spacetime]]-like effects from using [[X-Ray Scope]] in certain places [[Out of Bounds]].

'''May 26, 2005'''

'''April 1, 2007'''

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/13_completed_no_bossminiboss_run.html Kejardon] (under a pseudonym, see page 2 of the thread) posts an SMV showing completing the game with 13% by X-Ray Climbing in [[Golden Four]], then X-Ray Climbing in Mother Brain's Room to bypass the Mother Brain fight.

This run also came with this comment about another discovery in the game:

Finally, the trigger that makes Zebes explode is simply entering the room behind Mother Brain - all Mother Brain does is set the timer that kills you. It's a random tidbit of trivia I've only now had the chance to put to use.

== 2008 ==

During [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1099925976 this race] dueDillyQueen notices in chat that the rain in [[Landing Site]] is moving opposite directions for the two runners. PJBoy investigated this and found it depends on RNG: the rain's X speed is randomly set to -6, -4, or 6.

'''August 6, 2021'''

Susreime releases [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt0Ty4bS17A this video], showing that the Zebes Escape timer is disabled by killing [[Draygon]].

Crystal Flash

2022-10-13T23:45:47Z

Amh:

[[File:CrystalFlash.png|right|thumb|The Crystal Flash is shown in the game's [[Attract Mode]] after beating the game for the first time.]]

'''Crystal Flash''' is a technique which fully replenishes Samus's energy.

The Crystal Flash can only be performed if Samus has less than 51 energy with empty (or no) [[Reserve Tanks]], and can only be performed if Samus has 10 [[Missile|Missiles]], 10 [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]] and 10 [[Power Bombs]] at the point of activation; however, because performing a Crystal Flash requires a Power Bomb explosion, you should consider it as requiring 11 Power Bombs to perform.

To activate the Crystal Flash (after planting a Power Bomb), L, R, down, and the shot button must be held as the Power Bomb's explosion ends, and Samus must be in the exact position (both horizontally and vertically) of the explosion, with zero vertical speed.

To perform a Crystal Flash with only 2 packs of Power Bombs collected, Samus needs to lay the Power Bomb (going down to 9), collect a Power Bomb drop (up to 10), and then return to the exact pixel where the Power Bomb was laid before the explosion vanishes to activate the Crystal Flash. An easy way to do so is to time the explosion right before an enemy reaches Samus, to get bounced off the ground and on landing collect the Power Bomb drop.

The Crystal Flash is utilized multiple times in [[List of rooms#Norfair|Norfair]]/[[List of rooms#Lower Norfair|Lower Norfair]] during [[Reverse Boss Order]] runs, since none of the [[Suit Upgrades|suit upgrades]], which protect against heat, are collected.

{{#ev:youtube|6ZtlFqVyQ3s}}

==Invulnerability==

While the Crystal Flash is active, Samus will not be granted a period of invulnerability if contact with an applicable [[Damage Sources|damage source]] is made, thus allowing enemies - especially mobile ones such as [[Zebbo|Zebbos]] - to potentially inflict tremendous damage.

Hitbox Manipulation

2022-10-13T23:31:29Z

Amh: /* Crouch Jump */

[[File:AllHitboxes.png|Crude Image]]

[[File:HotaHitboxes.png|Hotarubi's more and more hitboxes]]

As shown above, the size of Samus's hitbox varies based on the condition of her sprite. The most important detail is that the height of her down-aiming and [[spinjump]] hitboxes is considerably shorter than the height of her standing and normal jump hitboxes.

== Early Landing ==

When jumping to any platform (regardless of whether the platform is above, below, or level with Samus) in the spin-jumping or aimed-down position, it is possible to land earlier by extending your hitbox to full length. This is done by either pressing angle up/down or shooting.

Regardless of the platform's position, when Samus is jumping to any platform in a spinjump or while aiming down, it is possible for Samus to land earlier on the platform by extending her hitbox to its full length, which can be done by pressing either angle up, angle down, or firing a weapon.

== Grabs ==

When performing a spinjump, by pressing angle up, angle down, or firing a weapon once directly above a platform, Samus will break out of her spin and immediately land on the platform. This allows her to land on platforms earlier than normal and is known as '''ledgegrabbing'''.

Similarly, Samus can land on platforms that are above her even earlier by entering the down-aiming position during the ascent of the jump, which brings the bottom of her hitbox up slightly, and then extending her hitbox to normal length once level with the platform, which can be done simply by moving forward to break out of the down-aiming position. This is known as '''downgrabbing'''.

Downgrabs are considered more difficult to efficiently execute compared to ledgegrabs. Although performing downgrabs [http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#PlatformGrabbing as described on TASVideos] is the fastest option, it is extremely difficult to consistently perform them. It is considered much easier and more reliable to perform ledgegrabs where angle up or angle down is pressed once Samus has ascended slightly above the location of the platform.

Considering whether to downgrab or ledgegrab a platform requires analyzing the risk versus the reward involved. Similarly, considering which speed to grab the platform at requires a similar analysis. Although you can save additional frames by performing a more efficient ledgegrab onto a platform, and although there will be dozens of opportunities over the course of a speedrun to perform efficient ledgegrabs, there is always the risk that if you perform the ledgegrab inputs too early, you will miss the platform and fall.

Certain techniques such as the [[Colosseum#Halfie & Full Halfie|Full Halfie]] may require stronger consideration towards performing a downgrab. In this case, you would be potentially providing yourself more time with which to activate the [[shinespark]].

== Gap Skip ==

By running straight off of a ledge and pressing down to enter the down-aiming position, it is possible for Samus to clear gaps between tiles. The size of the gap she will be able to clear is primarily dependent on her [[Horizontal Speed|horizontal speed]] at the time of leaving the ledge.

Depending on your speed and the size of the gap in question, you may need to remain in the down-aiming position before releasing a forward direction to clear it.

{{#ev:youtube|6Y_zByY1mfU}}

== Downback ==

As downgrabs indicate, Samus will normally break out of her down-aiming posture any time a forward direction is pressed on the directional pad; however, it is possible to move forward while falling in the down-aiming position by pressing down and moving your thumb to down+back. (commonly referred to as a "diagonal" on the directional pad)

Although such input is counter-intuitive, there are multiple instances where downbacking allows Samus to squeeze through certain gaps without landing on platforms due to her compressed hitbox, thus maintaining her [[Vertical Speed|vertical speed]].

A downback is not possible from a fall after a jump or walljump.

Examples of downbacking can be observed in the video below at 0:01 after running off the starting ledge, at 0:04 after unmorphing to smoothly clear the two blocks, and at 0:06 to pass by the last ledge.

{{#ev:youtube|lpxI9o0gDHk}}

== Crouch Jump ==

Samus will begin her jump eight pixels higher than normal if she is crouching before she jumps, effectively increasing jump height by 8 pixels and allowing her to grab onto platforms she may otherwise not have been able to grab onto.

The eight pixels will not be granted if Samus's arm cannon is not in the neutral position when attempting to crouch jump, in other words, holding angle up or down and doing a crouch jump will NOT increase jump height.

The video below is an example of a distance between two platforms that is surmounted by assistance from a crouch jump and a downgrab.

{{#ev:youtube|aTbubkfc7iE}}

== Checking ==

The following is a modification of the [http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#EnteringDoorsAndGettingItemsEarly description provided by TASVideos]:

When spinjumping forward, the game checks the tiles immediately behind Samus to see if she can wall jump, starting with the uppermost tile and moving down. If any solid tiles are found, the game stops checking and allows Samus to walljump.

The game considers Samus as touching any tiles checked, allowing her to trigger items and doors earlier by spinjumping and turning around right as the tile is within walljump check range. If an item that is to be collected requires Samus to turn around immediately after collecting it, using this technique can reach the item a bit faster.

This can also be utilized when entering doors that do not require momentum in the direction they are entered, such as rooms containing bosses.

It is also possible to check doors by having Samus collide with a ceiling or by having Samus break out of spin by pressing down and the direction opposite of forward. The latter is observable at the end of every [[Bomb Torizo]] skip performed in recent [[Tool Assisted Speedruns|tool assisted speedruns]], as it provides the fastest method with which to escape its chamber. These methods preserve [[Horizontal Speed|horizontal momentum]].

The maximum distance of a remote trigger pickup depends on Samus's velocity at the moment of the walljump check and can go as high as eight pixels away from the target.

== Edge Boost ==

Also known as "corner boost" and can be thought of as the opposite of ledgegrabbing, edge boosting is a technique that can be used to fall faster than normal. It is primarily performed in tool assisted speedruns.

When falling alongside a surface that ends, by aiming down and then immediately pressing left or right on the directional pad, Samus's position will be shifted a few pixels downward. In the case of pressing the directional pad towards the surface, this will allow Samus to pass under the surface faster.

This is possible because Samus's down-aiming hitbox has about half the height of her normal hitbox, and by pressing left or right, Samus restores her hitbox to full size and is immediately pushed down out of the boundaries of the surface she is colliding with.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Lar33xD-g&t=4m45s An example of a tool assisted speedrun] that performs many edge boosts in the [[Climb]].

It is also possible to perform an edge boost by breaking a spinjump when Samus is directly under an edge. This is more feasible for humans without tools and can be utilized in rooms such as the [[Green Pirates Shaft]].

This technique is the most effective at the beginning of a jump or fall. At Samus's full downward speed, she may fail to be pushed down if she falls too fast for her hitbox to extend towards the boundaries of a surface.

Metal Pirates Room

2022-09-19T03:50:45Z

Amh: added susreime's super double hit to low%

{{Adjacent rooms
|west=[[Plowerhouse Room]]
|east=[[Wasteland]]
}}

[[File:MetalPiratesRoom.png|x256px]]

[[File:MetalPiratesRoomSmile.png|x256px]]

The Metal Pirates will each make themselves vulnerable if Samus is on the set of three square blocks that the pirate centers its movement around. The best way to handle this changes depending on the category.

Although the pirates turn gold when they're vulnerable, the sprite change does not always match up perfectly with the vulnerability. So sometimes a pirate might bounce a shot while it's still gold.

The pirates are also vulnerable for a brief window after they shoot their projectiles, but relying on this is unlikely to be viable for humans.

{{#ev:youtube|RCUT1WK0-es}}

==Any% KPDR==

Two charged Plasma shots will kill the pirates once they become vulnerable, or a single shot each if the shot hits twice.

When you leave the room for the [[Plowerhouse Room]], it's advantageous to have a shot charged in order to freeze the first [[Holtz]] in the next room. Angle up if you're on the ground, or shoot it straight if you're airborne.

=== Beginner ===

You can take each pirate one at a time, staying on their center of movement. The pirates are also vulnerable to uncharged Plasma shots, so you may find a charged shot plus three uncharged shots to be more convenient for this strat.

{{#ev:youtube|iR25zppSOPE}}

=== Intermediate ===

You can wait for the first pirate to jump, and then fire a shot that hits twice while manipulating the second pirate into its jump.

{{#ev:youtube|2DypkRqUW6g}}

With this strat, you don't have enough time to charge the beam to freeze the Holtz in the next room, so one option is to get a [[Kagoing|kago]] or downwards [[dboost]] to set up for the run through the acid.

{{#ev:youtube|2RO42hhyE2Y}}

=== Optimal ===

The fastest method of killing the pirates is to manipulate both pirates into attacking, then use a single charge shot to hit one pirate twice and the other once, then use another charge shot to both finish off the remaining pirate, and open the door.

{{#ev:youtube|1eVFch_UBl0}}

==100%/GT Classic==

{{#ev:youtube|acMNTIFIwSo}}

The optimal KPDR strat is used here, along with a Space Jump into Springball strat through the next two rooms.

[https://pastebin.com/0b8WNTF2 Pastebin explaining this video]

==Any% PRKD==
Since this category doesn't have Plasma and wants to preserve Super Missiles for the Ridley fight, the optimal strategy involves a shinespark to kill each pirate.

{{#ev:youtube|US3e-v_6zIQ}}

==Low% Ice==

This category and others that do not collect Speedbooster use three Super Missiles for each pirate.

At least one double hit is possible, making the ammo required for the room equal to 5 Supers. This technique also saves time, on average, in pre-Ridley farm, since one less Super drop is needed.

{{#ev:youtube|s_UqBFlqSm4}}

==Exiting the Room==

On the way out of the room, most categories simply run through at least one of the pirates, shooting them as you go through them to avoid damage. This works for these pirates even without using [[Plasma Beam]] to "hitbox" them.

If you morph through the transition to [[Wasteland]], this might allow you to go through the door faster by making your hitbox smaller, both because you have less chance of bonking the door before it's fully open, and because you can get more run speed and jump later.

If you're doing the Reverse Plowerhouse, you can Space Jump right before each pirate -- this manipulates them into a pattern that allows the sound queues to be empty when you hit the door. The right side pirate will usually spin jump anyway, but if you can avoid the left side pirate spinning, that can significantly reduce door [[processing]] time.

Phantoon

2022-09-18T06:00:09Z

Amh: edit

{{Boss info
|title=Phantoon
|image=Phantoon.png
|location=[[Phantoon's Room]], [[Wrecked Ship]]
|health=2500
}}

= General Information =

Phantoon has 2500 health.

Phantoon is only vulnerable to damage through his eye when it is exposed, where [[Missile|Missiles]], [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], [[Charge Beam|charged shots]], and [[Charge Beam Combos|special beam attacks]] will deal damage.

Super Missiles will deal 600 damage to Phantoon instead of their normal 300; however, using a Super Missile on Phantoon that does not finish him off will enrage Phantoon, causing him to spend roughly 18 seconds sending waves of flames down from above before starting another pattern.

Phantoon's flames can be negated by [[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo-Screw]] or [[Screw Attack]].

Phantoon will perform one of six patterns to begin the fight, and then will perform one of six different patterns in the second round, as well as remaining rounds thereafter. (12 total patterns)

A "round" consists of the time from which Phantoon appears to begin a pattern, to the point he disappears to start another pattern or perishes.

Both Phantoon and his flames will deal 10 / 20 / 40 damage to [[Gravity Suit]] / [[Varia Suit]] / [[Power Suit]] Samus, respectively.

Multiple flames can strike Samus at once. If you are on top of Phantoon's eye without invulnerability as he opens and produces eight flames, they can all collide with Samus at once, which usually spells death, and is referred to as the "Sunrise Surprise."

= Interactions =

== Figure 8 ==

Phantoon will move in a figure 8 type of motion around the room until he opens his eye, dropping flames as he does so. These flames can [[Enemies#Bosses|drop items]].

Phantoon can open at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. A 'fast' opening will have Phantoon open his eye around one second after becoming visible. A 'medium' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'fast' opening, and a 'slow' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'medium' opening.

===First Round===

In the first round, Phantoon will start at the top center of the room and then choose to move to the right or to the left, each with 50% chance. A right side figure 8 will always be the same pattern, with Phantoon opening his eye in one of three possible positions, named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Similarly, a left side figure 8 will always be the same, with the three possible positions for the eye to open named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Given a right or left side pattern, fasts and mids have 25% chance each, while slows have 50% chance of occurring. The frame Phantoon starts moving is what sets where Phantoon's eye will open.

===Second Round===

For the second and subsequent rounds, Phantoon will start at either the top right or top left of the room and proceed to move in a figure 8 pattern. Even though these two figure 8 patterns are different from those of the first round, they also are always the same and each have three different eye opening spots, "fast", "mid" and "slow". The percentages for each eye opening spot [https://milde.no/public/sm/science/PhantoonRng.txt have been simulated to be]

* left: fast 24.52% | mid 0.70% | slow 24.87%

* right: fast 0.35% | mid 36.80% | slow 12.76%

Therefore, the compounded percentages for second round and above are:

* left 50.09% | right 49.91%

* fast 24.87% | mid 37.50% | slow 37.63%

===Flames===

Whenever Phantoon is moving in figure 8, flames will drop from his eye as if tears. There are four possible flame patterns, each with 25% chance of being chosen and with a roughly 3 second cooldown between them. Indicating a flame by "F" and a 16 frames interval by "-", the four flame patterns are:

* F-F-F (quick 3)

* F--F--F--F--F (moderate 5)

* F---F---F---F---F---F---F (sluggish 7)

* F-F--F----F--F----F-F (varied 7 or 322)

A flame pattern that is interrupted by Phantoon's eye opening will be paused and continued later, when Phantoon closes his eye and starts doing figure 8's again (this still applies if Phantoon turns invisible).

== Eye Open ==

When Phantoon's eye opens from a pattern, he will produce eight flames that will spiral outward across the screen.

After Phantoon takes damage during this opening, he will fly around the room in a similar manner, attempting to ram Samus. Samus's positioning will influence his movement.

Phantoon can be damaged at multiple points during an opening. If Phantoon takes 300+ damage during one barrage, he will disappear to start another pattern, so make sure to keep your shots spaced out enough. If Phantoon has taken a total of 400+ damage after the third barrage (example - Missile hit, wait for a second, repeat three times), he will disappear to start another pattern. If Phantoon is struck with a Super Missile at any point during his opening, he will disappear to begin an enrage phase. If Phantoon is not made to disappear from one of these conditions, he will naturally disappear on his own after about six seconds of flying around.

If Phantoon does not take damage after opening his eye (from a figure 8 pattern), he will close his eye, disappear, and start to move in a figure 8 pattern but now invisible (flames continue to drop). When invisble Phantoon opens his eye, instead of sending a spiral of flames out, he will rain flames down in a horizontal line from the ceiling. After the first time he opens in this manner, he will continue to disappear and reopen every couple of seconds while continuing to rain flames until he takes damage.

Phantoon can close his eye at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. The amount of time the eye stays open and its chance percentages are: 15 frames, 25% | 30 frames, 37.5% | 60 frames, 37.5%.

== Enrage ==

As stated previously, Phantoon will enrage if struck with a Super Missile that does not destroy him. Phantoon cannot be damaged while in this state. He will stay at the top of the screen where he will send waves of flames whipping down from the ceiling that will alternate from left to right. The waves happen at 128 frame intervals.

After eight waves, he will disappear to start another pattern.

With appropriately-timed beam shots, you can destroy many of these flames at once, thus farming them. Alternatively, you can perform a pseudo-Screw throughout this entire phase to avoid all damage.

=== Enrage Skip ===

If a Super hits Phantoon on the specific frame as he starts moving around the room, he will not become enraged. If implemented in a run this would allow for killing Phantoon in a single round, though it would be very difficult.

{{#ev:youtube|CEqi68cc70o}}

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KVWUEc_Z7pG_1ycbEB5FIhKkPLBaeKAxrJ4javr2i5M/edit?usp=sharing FreyasSpirit's analysis of Phantoon's AI to explain this behavior]

= Categories =

== Phantoon First ==

=== Any% PRKD ===

The primary method for destroying Phantoon in this category is through the use of the "[http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#Phantoon doppler]" technique. Basically, whenever Phantoon takes damage that would make him disappear (excluding being struck with a Super Missile), he will attempt to close his eye; however, Phantoon needs some time (approximately ten frames) for that to happen, making it possible for him to continue to take damage if this time is interrupted, which it can be if Missiles are fired at the appropriate rate.

The cooldown for missiles is 9 frames, but to avoid having an input not register by being too early, the ideal doppler spacing is 10 frames. This gives a tempo of 350 beats per minute, which this video essentially gives a metronome for.

{{#ev:youtube|-mWsZ3mqFPw}}

The easiest method for performing a doppler on Phantoon is to allow him to fly off-screen, then hold a forward direction while mashing the shot button with Missiles selected until you are right next to Phantoon. Doing so, you should be able to consistently have three to four Missiles connect with Phantoon before he disappears.

A typical round utilizing the doppler in this manner will look something like this:

* Fire an uncharged beam shot towards Phantoon to extinguish the flames he generates upon opening from a pattern
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then wait briefly
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then let him gain some distance
* Fire as many Missiles as you can while walking towards him right as he would re-enter the room

Even doing something as simple as this, you can become consistent at defeating Phantoon in under four rounds. In the last round, you will want to fire a Super Missile at the end of your third barrage. If you managed to doppler efficiently enough in the first two rounds, then you may not need to doppler anything at all in the third round.

It is possible to slay Phantoon in under three rounds if you incorporate stuttering during your doppler to have more Missiles land. Ideally, you will be able to strike Phantoon with ten Missiles total in the first round (2-2-6) and nine Missiles with the Super Missile as a finisher (2-2-5+S) in the second round. It is possible to still two round even with a worse first round, but every additional Missile needed makes it that much more unlikely.

{{#ev:youtube|cl7ETKGNflQ}}

Another option for this fight is to incorporate charged shots between Missile barrages. Two charge shots will reduce the amount of Missiles normally required by one, potentially making a two round fight easier in that regard.

A concern for this strategy is having enough ammo to defeat Phantoon in these few rounds. Although fast patterns are certainly ideal for speedrunning, multiple fast patterns can cause the player to run into an issue where they are not equipped with enough Missiles from drops to defeat Phantoon accordingly with the doppler technique.

Being familiar with how Phantoon will move off-screen and how Samus can influence his movement is important here. Without proper manipulation of Phantoon, there will be certain patterns where he will fly directly over your attempt at a doppler if you allow him to fly off-screen. For these patterns, having Samus jump up a certain height right as Phantoon swings off-screen can influence him into having a lower positioning when he swings back into the room.

For each pattern, there's also a way to doppler Phantoon while keeping him on-screen, which is a few seconds faster than letting him go off-screen. This may involve a very difficult move such as an Air Doppler.

{{#ev:youtube|fiuQTIZCXOg}}

{{#ev:youtube|gc_i6AGMOzQ}}

Slower patterns tend to be the hardest to punish due to the time in which Phantoon will lay flames before opening, as well as the position in which Phantoon will open from these patterns. It is recommended to practice those the most, especially since you are likely to receive them the most in runs.

The optimal manner of dealing with the eight flames Phantoon produces when he opens his eye from a pattern is to fire a single beam shot at them, such that the beam shot consumes all of the flames at once, leaving Phantoon's eye directly exposed to Missiles, and leaving a cluster of drops floating in the air. You can alternatively dodge them with pseudo-Screw or possibly by being morphed. In case you miss the opening beam shot, you can try intercepting flames with the beam as well.

Something you may have to get used to is that the hitbox of the uncharged [[Power Beam]] is small enough that it can appear to pass through flames.

Due to the lack of Varia Suit, everything will deal at least 40 damage, making large energy drops much less effective than in Phantoon Second routes since it would require two of them to nullify a flame's damage. It can also put you in an awkward position where, if you end up between 30 and 40 energy, you will be low enough to die to a single flame, but not low enough to force the 'health bomb' effect to occur.

If Phantoon begins to rain flames, you can crouch or morph to lower the chance of Phantoon appearing on top of you, and hold angle buttons appropriately to shoot the flames that would fall on top of you, while also striking Phantoon with a Missile or two when you have the opportunity. For maximum safety, you can strike Phantoon with three Missiles in a row so that he will disappear and start another pattern.

=== 14% ===

Basically, all information for [[Any% PRKD]] also applies here; however, in 14% categories, the chance of executing a two-round on Phantoon is reduced due to always having a cap of 10 Missiles, making well-timed Missile drops more important than in Any% PRKD.

== Phantoon Second ==

=== Any% KPDR (Beginner) ===

With Charge Beam, [[Wave Beam]], and [[Spazer]] equipped, you can slay Phantoon in four rounds.

Strike Phantoon with a charge shot when he opens, then hit him with two more and he should disappear. Repeat this process three more times and he should perish. This can be sped up slightly by the inclusion of a Super Missile in the last round - charge shot when he opens, then Super Missile.

It can help to fight from the corners of the room (probably the left corner) to minimize damage. The flames Phantoon drops will rarely reach the corners of the room before being shot. You can crouch in the bottom left corner when flames are raining down, and aim up to shoot the flame that would land and fall on top of you during this scenario. Phantoon's body should rarely (if ever) touch you when performing this strategy.

To minimize damage taken, fight from the corners, usually the left corner. Flames he drops while moving around rarely touch the corners before you can shoot them. Then crouch in the bottom left corner when he is in the rain state. You should rarely, if ever, get touched by his body doing this. Aim up and shoot to kill the flame that would land and fall on you. Strike Phantoon in the middle or right side of the screen to help prevent him from drifting into you, which should give you time to hit with the three charge shots needed to make him disappear before he would fly into you. Jumping and shooting across the center of the screen to hit him off-screen works in most situations; however, you should listen for Phantoon's cry to confirm that you actually damaged him.

This method should also work with [[Ice Beam]] instead of Wave Beam in this combo; however, it would be much more difficult to execute since the beam would not penetrate the walls. There is also essentially no reason to not have Wave Beam at this point anyway, so this is simply a note for knowledge purposes.

=== Any% KPDR (Intermediate) ===

In the 2018 Any% Tournament, runner MassHesteria demonstrated a good technique for runners who pick up both Spazer, and Early Ice. For each round, fire two missiles, then two missiles, then a Charge Shot. This will kill Phantoon in 4 rounds. This allows the runner to save on pauses compared with the Beginner technique listed above.

It can finish in 3 rounds if you use a Missile and a Super Missile in a mini-doppler pattern on the third round. This technique can save ample time over a three-round doppler if you still need phantoon to fly offscreen in order to hit enough missiles to achieve the 3 round, since the first two rounds don't need to wait for Phantoon to come back on-screen.

{{#ev:youtube|vpZ6TnEXlKQ}}

=== Any% KPDR (Optimal) ===

The optimal strategy for defeating Phantoon is to utilize the [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Wave_Shield|X-Factor]] to attempt to defeat Phantoon in only two rounds.

You will want to open every time with a pseudo-Screw (from your charge shot that you are about to use) to avoid the flames from Phantoon's opening, then use the charge shot directly on Phantoon, followed by the X-Factor, performed accordingly based on the speed and position of Phantoon's opening.

Below are guides which will provide strategies for each variation of Phantoon's openings. These different setups will be explained via crude drawings and text summaries.

The drawing of Phantoon is based on where he is going to appear on the screen. The black arrow is where you want to fire the charge shot for the opener. The X is where you are going to be hitting him with the X-Factor. The green line indicates the direction and way you need to move to make the X-Factor connect. For the left slow opening of the second round, the red line indicates how Phantoon is going to move.

'''1st Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/AqMF7.png Left Fast] - Phantoon is going to appear on the bottom left and you want to make sure that you jump through the flames and hit Phantoon on his right side to initiate the setup. From here, he will recoil back, so you need to immediately start charging and run to the right. Once you hit the right wall, you need to jump to the top of the room immediately. So long as you do not turn around and you move as the green arrow indicates, it should connect every single time.

[http://i.imgur.com/JVdIQ.png Left Medium] - This is one of the easier patterns. Simply jump up, shoot him, and then face left in the middle of the room while trying not to move. If for whatever reason Phantoon is moving in an usual manner, you can make adjustments by performing turnarounds to delay the X-Factor, or by walking to the right (if you were too slow). Jumping can sometimes help, but it is not recommended. This is also the most common setup for this method of quick kill.

[http://i.imgur.com/ApvVA.png Left Slow] - Another pattern where you pretty much just shoot and stay in the middle of the room while facing left. Once again, make adjustments if it looks like it is about to fail.

[http://i.imgur.com/0FdAM.png Right Fast] - This pattern is ideal for speed and ease.

[http://i.imgur.com/MdTZN.png Right Medium] - This one is a tad tricky. You can actually hit him from three different places - the middle of the room, the top right corner, and the place displayed in the image. The place displayed in the image is probably the easiest to use, but feel free to test all three to see which of them you prefer.

[http://i.imgur.com/OVn5x.png Right Slow] - Not much needs to be said here.

'''2nd Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/t5bhv.png Left Fast] - Similar to first round's Left Fast, you want to jump in the air, and upon landing, run to the right wall, then jump towards the ceiling.

[http://i.imgur.com/6akbt.png Left Slow] - This is by far the most complex X-Factor to setup, but so long as you move the same every time, it should connect properly. Basically, you just want to spinjump into him and as soon as the shot hits, hold left. '''Do not stop holding left and do not face right'''. After you have landed, you want to immediately jump up to the ceiling so you can manipulate Phantoon into a fixed Y-position. After you have touched the ceiling, you want to start charging up a shot right as you're about to touch the grey door to your left. Upon landing, just jump back up to the ceiling as phantoon approaches and it should hit. This one will probably require a little bit of practice since it's the only one that's timing based instead of being solely position based.

[http://i.imgur.com/oIw2u.png Right Medium] - This is by far the most common second round pattern. For the most part, it is pretty simple. As long as you stand in the middle of the room and adjust your positioning based on Phantoon's movement, it should connect.

[http://i.imgur.com/wK1kR.png Right Slow] - For this pattern, it is very helpful to run to the left wall to make it connect. You can execute from the middle of the room as well, but it is not nearly as consistent.

Below is a simple summary of the above regarding how to respond to patterns. "Track" means to predict Phantoon's movement to allow all X-Factor particles to connect. This vague description is only used when it should be relatively simple to accomplish. "Shoot" means shoot Phantoon's eye - it is implied that you begin charging the X-Factor after shooting.
{|
! Pattern (Round, Position, Speed) || Response
|-
| 1st, Left, Fast || shoot, hop, walk right
|-
| 1st, Left, Medium || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 1st, Left, Slow || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 1st, Right, Fast || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 1st, Right, Medium || shoot, hop, walk right
|-
| 1st, Right, Slow || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 2nd, Left, Fast || jump, then quickly: shoot, turn right, charge, land, move right
|-
| 2nd, Left, Slow || jump, shoot, jump, shoot, charge when in middle of screen, jump
|-
| 2nd, Right, Medium || shoot, track
|-
| 2nd, Right, Slow || jump, shoot, track
|}

The way you move after striking Phantoon when he opens his eye is much more crucial to be aware of than the speed and fluctuations of his patterns. Moving in a consistent manner and then making tiny adjustments in case of incorrect initiation of an opening is crucial for consistent execution of an X-Factor two-round.

Phantoon's speed is directly correlated to the location of Samus as she delivers the opening shot and the distance she is from him while he moves around the room. Phantoon will recoil more if Samus is nearby and speed up if Samus is far away.

For the most part, the most consistent thing a player can do is move around as little as possible to ensure that Phantoon always performs the same movement during an opening; however, there are some patterns where this is not possible.

Adjustments during the fight can be made in two ways - either moving to the the left or right depending on Phantoon's position, or turning around while charging. Performing turnarounds while charging the beam will delay the X-Factor by a small amount of frames per each time.

Behemoth's method of this fight involves opening up with a charge shot per usual, then firing a Missile right after the first X-Factor particles collide, before Phantoon disappears from the damage, and then firing 3 Missiles and a Super Missile in the second round to finish him off.

An alternative second round method is to open with the charge shot like normal (or shoot out all the flames as phantoon opens akin to PRKD and shoot 2 missiles), and follow it up with two Missiles shortly afterward. Let Phantoon fly off screen, then at the appropriate time, fire two Missiles followed immediately by a Super Missile towards Phantoon. This is sometimes slightly slower than a second X-Factor, but conserves a [[Power Bomb]] as well as allows the player to collect the flame drops from the open on the second round if they opt to mirror the PRKD strategy. These two bonuses to the missile second round allow a player to potentially skip certain farms on the way to Phantoon if they so choose which saves even more time and is generally why the missile second round is regarded as the most optimal way to do the fight by players at the highest level.

If you were only able to damage Phantoon with one particle of the second X-Factor, then on the third round, you should be able to defeat Phantoon with two charge shots and a Super Missile.

If an X-Factor particle hits a flame (usually referred to as being "flame lamed"), you won't output enough damage to defeat Phantoon in two rounds without adapting. One way to adapt is to shoot an extra charge shot shot before the X-Factor in the second round, which entails another set of setups.

=== Max% GT Code ===

Phantoon is much more difficult in this category due to only having 99 health, 5 missiles, and having to rely on Phantoon's eyedrops for more missile drops. There are a few strategies to get a semi-consistent Phantoon fight. If doing dopplers, shoot out a missile so that you have 4 missiles at all times. By doing that, you can shoot the eyedrops until Phantoon's eye opens and pick up the drops as you are performing the doppler. This is most reliable if you are at full health so the drops are always either missile drops or super drops. Alternatively, since drop rng is not something you want to depend your run on, a slightly easier variation of this doppler includes utilizing super frames which allows you to shoot a super at Phantoon without enraging him. [https://clips.twitch.tv/ObeseEagerOrangeArsonNoSexy Here is an example of a 2 round using super frames.]

Instead, if you collect charge beam, you can use a fully charged beam particle to replace the super missile. This method is much more consistent since you don't have to shoot a frame perfect super. [https://youtu.be/9-y5pfm1cEo Here is an example of a 2 round using charge beam] However this method is much more dependent on missile drops.

Another method is using [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Spazer_Shield|Golden Showers]] to replace x-factors since grabbing wave takes too much time compared to getting spazer. An optimal fight using golden showers would be to fire 2 missiles immediately after Phantoon's eye opens, waiting a bit, then firing two more missiles. Then, as Phantoon flies offscreen, select power bombs and charge as quickly as possible. If done correctly, both particles should hit and Phantoon can be beaten in 3 rounds. [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/351591951 Here is an example of that.]

This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCwpP47E-0A video] summarizes some 2-round strategies for the common item combinations.

=== Hybrid Strat ===

The hybrid strat for Phantoon is 2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles, super missile (2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles xfactor - this is if you have no super missiles for round 2). When Phantoons eye opens, you want to shoot two regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon, then dash to the left wall, do a full jump and at the peak fire two more regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon. Immediately press and hold right and menu over to power bombs. As soon as you are towards the lower portion of Phantoons body you will want to start charging to perform an X-Factor. Continue holding right until you reach the right side wall, you want to make your way to this wall without using dash. Once you reach the wall, perform a full jump (with no spin) this will pull Phantoon to the top of the screen where your X-factor will connect with all four shots. From there you will want to shoot 2 more missiles into Phantoons eye when it opens next, wait a moment, fire two more missiles, and then immediately a super missile. That will finish off Phantoon. If you do not have a super missile to finish the fight, simply repeat the pattern for round 1 and do a double x-factor instead.

== Phantoon Third ==

=== Reverse Boss Order ===

Assuming you obtained [[Plasma Beam]] and thus have charged Ice/Wave/Plasma at your disposal, Phantoon will only require seven Missiles and two charge shots to defeat. You can strike Phantoon with three Missiles and a charge shot in the first round followed by four Missiles and a charge shot in the second round, or visa versa.

== Phantoon Fourth ==

=== GT Classic ===

Having the items from [[Golden Torizo Code|GT Code]] allows for the [[X-Plasma]] exploit to be performed by activating X-Ray Scope multiple times as a charged Ice/Wave/Plasma shot passes through Phantoon during an opening.

Since charged Ice/Wave/Plasma deals 900 damage, you can slay Phantoon in this manner with only one charge shot with proper X-Ray Scope activations.

Phantoon needs to be struck by a source other than the charge shot ''before'' attempting this exploit, otherwise he will simply disappear once struck without allowing the exploit to occur. Try using Missiles when he opens (a well-timed Missile can consume all of the flames when they spawn, and a second will strike Phantoon) so he will start to fly around, then perform the exploit. Be careful not to accidentally strike him with more than two Missiles in this manner, otherwise he will disappear.

Phantoon

2022-09-18T05:59:07Z

Amh:

{{Boss info
|title=Phantoon
|image=Phantoon.png
|location=[[Phantoon's Room]], [[Wrecked Ship]]
|health=2500
}}

= General Information =

Phantoon has 2500 health.

Phantoon is only vulnerable to damage through his eye when it is exposed, where [[Missile|Missiles]], [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], [[Charge Beam|charged shots]], and [[Charge Beam Combos|special beam attacks]] will deal damage.

Super Missiles will deal 600 damage to Phantoon instead of their normal 300; however, using a Super Missile on Phantoon that does not finish him off will enrage Phantoon, causing him to spend roughly 18 seconds sending waves of flames down from above before starting another pattern.

Phantoon's flames can be negated by [[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo-Screw]] or [[Screw Attack]].

Phantoon will perform one of six patterns to begin the fight, and then will perform one of six different patterns in the second round, as well as remaining rounds thereafter. (12 total patterns)

A "round" consists of the time from which Phantoon appears to begin a pattern, to the point he disappears to start another pattern or perishes.

Both Phantoon and his flames will deal 10 / 20 / 40 damage to [[Gravity Suit]] / [[Varia Suit]] / [[Power Suit]] Samus, respectively.

Multiple flames can strike Samus at once. If you are on top of Phantoon's eye without invulnerability as he opens and produces eight flames, they can all collide with Samus at once, which usually spells death, and is referred to as the "Sunrise Surprise."

= Interactions =

== Figure 8 ==

Phantoon will move in a figure 8 type of motion around the room until he opens his eye, dropping flames as he does so. These flames can [[Enemies#Bosses|drop items]].

Phantoon can open at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. A 'fast' opening will have Phantoon open his eye around one second after becoming visible. A 'medium' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'fast' opening, and a 'slow' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'medium' opening.

===First Round===

In the first round, Phantoon will start at the top center of the room and then choose to move to the right or to the left, each with 50% chance. A right side figure 8 will always be the same pattern, with Phantoon opening his eye in one of three possible positions, named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Similarly, a left side figure 8 will always be the same, with the three possible positions for the eye to open named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Given a right or left side pattern, fasts and mids have 25% chance each, while slows have 50% chance of occurring. The frame Phantoon starts moving is what sets where Phantoon's eye will open.

===Second Round===

For the second and subsequent rounds, Phantoon will start at either the top right or top left of the room and proceed to move in a figure 8 pattern. Even though these two figure 8 patterns are different from those of the first round, they also are always the same and each have three different eye opening spots, "fast", "mid" and "slow". The percentages for each eye opening spot [https://milde.no/public/sm/science/PhantoonRng.txt have been simulated to be]

* left: fast 24.52% | mid 0.70% | slow 24.87%

* right: fast 0.35% | mid 36.80% | slow 12.76%

Therefore, the compounded percentages for second round and above are:

* left 50.09% | right 49.91%

* fast 24.87% | mid 37.50% | slow 37.63%

===Flames===

Whenever Phantoon is moving in figure 8, flames will drop from his eye as if tears. There are four possible flame patterns, each with 25% chance of being chosen and with a roughly 3 second cooldown between them. Indicating a flame by "F" and a 16 frames interval by "-", the four flame patterns are:

* F-F-F (quick 3)

* F--F--F--F--F (moderate 5)

* F---F---F---F---F---F---F (sluggish 7)

* F-F--F----F--F----F-F (varied 7 or 322)

A flame pattern that is interrupted by Phantoon's eye opening will be paused and continued later, when Phantoon closes his eye and starts doing figure 8's again (this still applies if Phantoon turns invisible).

== Open ==

When Phantoon's eye opens from a pattern, he will produce eight flames that will spiral outward across the screen.

After Phantoon takes damage during this opening, he will fly around the room in a similar manner, attempting to ram Samus. Samus's positioning will influence his movement.

Phantoon can be damaged at multiple points during an opening. If Phantoon takes 300+ damage during one barrage, he will disappear to start another pattern, so make sure to keep your shots spaced out enough. If Phantoon has taken a total of 400+ damage after the third barrage (example - Missile hit, wait for a second, repeat three times), he will disappear to start another pattern. If Phantoon is struck with a Super Missile at any point during his opening, he will disappear to begin an enrage phase. If Phantoon is not made to disappear from one of these conditions, he will naturally disappear on his own after about six seconds of flying around.

If Phantoon does not take damage after opening his eye (from a figure 8 pattern), he will close his eye, disappear, and start to move in a figure 8 pattern but now invisible (flames continue to drop). When invisble Phantoon opens his eye, instead of sending a spiral of flames out, he will rain flames down in a horizontal line from the ceiling. After the first time he opens in this manner, he will continue to disappear and reopen every couple of seconds while continuing to rain flames until he takes damage.

Phantoon can close his eye at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. The amount of time the eye stays open and its chance percentages are: 15 frames, 25% | 30 frames, 37.5% | 60 frames, 37.5%.

== Enrage ==

As stated previously, Phantoon will enrage if struck with a Super Missile that does not destroy him. Phantoon cannot be damaged while in this state. He will stay at the top of the screen where he will send waves of flames whipping down from the ceiling that will alternate from left to right. The waves happen at 128 frame intervals.

After eight waves, he will disappear to start another pattern.

With appropriately-timed beam shots, you can destroy many of these flames at once, thus farming them. Alternatively, you can perform a pseudo-Screw throughout this entire phase to avoid all damage.

=== Enrage Skip ===

If a Super hits Phantoon on the specific frame as he starts moving around the room, he will not become enraged. If implemented in a run this would allow for killing Phantoon in a single round, though it would be very difficult.

{{#ev:youtube|CEqi68cc70o}}

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KVWUEc_Z7pG_1ycbEB5FIhKkPLBaeKAxrJ4javr2i5M/edit?usp=sharing FreyasSpirit's analysis of Phantoon's AI to explain this behavior]

= Categories =

== Phantoon First ==

=== Any% PRKD ===

The primary method for destroying Phantoon in this category is through the use of the "[http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#Phantoon doppler]" technique. Basically, whenever Phantoon takes damage that would make him disappear (excluding being struck with a Super Missile), he will attempt to close his eye; however, Phantoon needs some time (approximately ten frames) for that to happen, making it possible for him to continue to take damage if this time is interrupted, which it can be if Missiles are fired at the appropriate rate.

The cooldown for missiles is 9 frames, but to avoid having an input not register by being too early, the ideal doppler spacing is 10 frames. This gives a tempo of 350 beats per minute, which this video essentially gives a metronome for.

{{#ev:youtube|-mWsZ3mqFPw}}

The easiest method for performing a doppler on Phantoon is to allow him to fly off-screen, then hold a forward direction while mashing the shot button with Missiles selected until you are right next to Phantoon. Doing so, you should be able to consistently have three to four Missiles connect with Phantoon before he disappears.

A typical round utilizing the doppler in this manner will look something like this:

* Fire an uncharged beam shot towards Phantoon to extinguish the flames he generates upon opening from a pattern
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then wait briefly
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then let him gain some distance
* Fire as many Missiles as you can while walking towards him right as he would re-enter the room

Even doing something as simple as this, you can become consistent at defeating Phantoon in under four rounds. In the last round, you will want to fire a Super Missile at the end of your third barrage. If you managed to doppler efficiently enough in the first two rounds, then you may not need to doppler anything at all in the third round.

It is possible to slay Phantoon in under three rounds if you incorporate stuttering during your doppler to have more Missiles land. Ideally, you will be able to strike Phantoon with ten Missiles total in the first round (2-2-6) and nine Missiles with the Super Missile as a finisher (2-2-5+S) in the second round. It is possible to still two round even with a worse first round, but every additional Missile needed makes it that much more unlikely.

{{#ev:youtube|cl7ETKGNflQ}}

Another option for this fight is to incorporate charged shots between Missile barrages. Two charge shots will reduce the amount of Missiles normally required by one, potentially making a two round fight easier in that regard.

A concern for this strategy is having enough ammo to defeat Phantoon in these few rounds. Although fast patterns are certainly ideal for speedrunning, multiple fast patterns can cause the player to run into an issue where they are not equipped with enough Missiles from drops to defeat Phantoon accordingly with the doppler technique.

Being familiar with how Phantoon will move off-screen and how Samus can influence his movement is important here. Without proper manipulation of Phantoon, there will be certain patterns where he will fly directly over your attempt at a doppler if you allow him to fly off-screen. For these patterns, having Samus jump up a certain height right as Phantoon swings off-screen can influence him into having a lower positioning when he swings back into the room.

For each pattern, there's also a way to doppler Phantoon while keeping him on-screen, which is a few seconds faster than letting him go off-screen. This may involve a very difficult move such as an Air Doppler.

{{#ev:youtube|fiuQTIZCXOg}}

{{#ev:youtube|gc_i6AGMOzQ}}

Slower patterns tend to be the hardest to punish due to the time in which Phantoon will lay flames before opening, as well as the position in which Phantoon will open from these patterns. It is recommended to practice those the most, especially since you are likely to receive them the most in runs.

The optimal manner of dealing with the eight flames Phantoon produces when he opens his eye from a pattern is to fire a single beam shot at them, such that the beam shot consumes all of the flames at once, leaving Phantoon's eye directly exposed to Missiles, and leaving a cluster of drops floating in the air. You can alternatively dodge them with pseudo-Screw or possibly by being morphed. In case you miss the opening beam shot, you can try intercepting flames with the beam as well.

Something you may have to get used to is that the hitbox of the uncharged [[Power Beam]] is small enough that it can appear to pass through flames.

Due to the lack of Varia Suit, everything will deal at least 40 damage, making large energy drops much less effective than in Phantoon Second routes since it would require two of them to nullify a flame's damage. It can also put you in an awkward position where, if you end up between 30 and 40 energy, you will be low enough to die to a single flame, but not low enough to force the 'health bomb' effect to occur.

If Phantoon begins to rain flames, you can crouch or morph to lower the chance of Phantoon appearing on top of you, and hold angle buttons appropriately to shoot the flames that would fall on top of you, while also striking Phantoon with a Missile or two when you have the opportunity. For maximum safety, you can strike Phantoon with three Missiles in a row so that he will disappear and start another pattern.

=== 14% ===

Basically, all information for [[Any% PRKD]] also applies here; however, in 14% categories, the chance of executing a two-round on Phantoon is reduced due to always having a cap of 10 Missiles, making well-timed Missile drops more important than in Any% PRKD.

== Phantoon Second ==

=== Any% KPDR (Beginner) ===

With Charge Beam, [[Wave Beam]], and [[Spazer]] equipped, you can slay Phantoon in four rounds.

Strike Phantoon with a charge shot when he opens, then hit him with two more and he should disappear. Repeat this process three more times and he should perish. This can be sped up slightly by the inclusion of a Super Missile in the last round - charge shot when he opens, then Super Missile.

It can help to fight from the corners of the room (probably the left corner) to minimize damage. The flames Phantoon drops will rarely reach the corners of the room before being shot. You can crouch in the bottom left corner when flames are raining down, and aim up to shoot the flame that would land and fall on top of you during this scenario. Phantoon's body should rarely (if ever) touch you when performing this strategy.

To minimize damage taken, fight from the corners, usually the left corner. Flames he drops while moving around rarely touch the corners before you can shoot them. Then crouch in the bottom left corner when he is in the rain state. You should rarely, if ever, get touched by his body doing this. Aim up and shoot to kill the flame that would land and fall on you. Strike Phantoon in the middle or right side of the screen to help prevent him from drifting into you, which should give you time to hit with the three charge shots needed to make him disappear before he would fly into you. Jumping and shooting across the center of the screen to hit him off-screen works in most situations; however, you should listen for Phantoon's cry to confirm that you actually damaged him.

This method should also work with [[Ice Beam]] instead of Wave Beam in this combo; however, it would be much more difficult to execute since the beam would not penetrate the walls. There is also essentially no reason to not have Wave Beam at this point anyway, so this is simply a note for knowledge purposes.

=== Any% KPDR (Intermediate) ===

In the 2018 Any% Tournament, runner MassHesteria demonstrated a good technique for runners who pick up both Spazer, and Early Ice. For each round, fire two missiles, then two missiles, then a Charge Shot. This will kill Phantoon in 4 rounds. This allows the runner to save on pauses compared with the Beginner technique listed above.

It can finish in 3 rounds if you use a Missile and a Super Missile in a mini-doppler pattern on the third round. This technique can save ample time over a three-round doppler if you still need phantoon to fly offscreen in order to hit enough missiles to achieve the 3 round, since the first two rounds don't need to wait for Phantoon to come back on-screen.

{{#ev:youtube|vpZ6TnEXlKQ}}

=== Any% KPDR (Optimal) ===

The optimal strategy for defeating Phantoon is to utilize the [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Wave_Shield|X-Factor]] to attempt to defeat Phantoon in only two rounds.

You will want to open every time with a pseudo-Screw (from your charge shot that you are about to use) to avoid the flames from Phantoon's opening, then use the charge shot directly on Phantoon, followed by the X-Factor, performed accordingly based on the speed and position of Phantoon's opening.

Below are guides which will provide strategies for each variation of Phantoon's openings. These different setups will be explained via crude drawings and text summaries.

The drawing of Phantoon is based on where he is going to appear on the screen. The black arrow is where you want to fire the charge shot for the opener. The X is where you are going to be hitting him with the X-Factor. The green line indicates the direction and way you need to move to make the X-Factor connect. For the left slow opening of the second round, the red line indicates how Phantoon is going to move.

'''1st Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/AqMF7.png Left Fast] - Phantoon is going to appear on the bottom left and you want to make sure that you jump through the flames and hit Phantoon on his right side to initiate the setup. From here, he will recoil back, so you need to immediately start charging and run to the right. Once you hit the right wall, you need to jump to the top of the room immediately. So long as you do not turn around and you move as the green arrow indicates, it should connect every single time.

[http://i.imgur.com/JVdIQ.png Left Medium] - This is one of the easier patterns. Simply jump up, shoot him, and then face left in the middle of the room while trying not to move. If for whatever reason Phantoon is moving in an usual manner, you can make adjustments by performing turnarounds to delay the X-Factor, or by walking to the right (if you were too slow). Jumping can sometimes help, but it is not recommended. This is also the most common setup for this method of quick kill.

[http://i.imgur.com/ApvVA.png Left Slow] - Another pattern where you pretty much just shoot and stay in the middle of the room while facing left. Once again, make adjustments if it looks like it is about to fail.

[http://i.imgur.com/0FdAM.png Right Fast] - This pattern is ideal for speed and ease.

[http://i.imgur.com/MdTZN.png Right Medium] - This one is a tad tricky. You can actually hit him from three different places - the middle of the room, the top right corner, and the place displayed in the image. The place displayed in the image is probably the easiest to use, but feel free to test all three to see which of them you prefer.

[http://i.imgur.com/OVn5x.png Right Slow] - Not much needs to be said here.

'''2nd Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/t5bhv.png Left Fast] - Similar to first round's Left Fast, you want to jump in the air, and upon landing, run to the right wall, then jump towards the ceiling.

[http://i.imgur.com/6akbt.png Left Slow] - This is by far the most complex X-Factor to setup, but so long as you move the same every time, it should connect properly. Basically, you just want to spinjump into him and as soon as the shot hits, hold left. '''Do not stop holding left and do not face right'''. After you have landed, you want to immediately jump up to the ceiling so you can manipulate Phantoon into a fixed Y-position. After you have touched the ceiling, you want to start charging up a shot right as you're about to touch the grey door to your left. Upon landing, just jump back up to the ceiling as phantoon approaches and it should hit. This one will probably require a little bit of practice since it's the only one that's timing based instead of being solely position based.

[http://i.imgur.com/oIw2u.png Right Medium] - This is by far the most common second round pattern. For the most part, it is pretty simple. As long as you stand in the middle of the room and adjust your positioning based on Phantoon's movement, it should connect.

[http://i.imgur.com/wK1kR.png Right Slow] - For this pattern, it is very helpful to run to the left wall to make it connect. You can execute from the middle of the room as well, but it is not nearly as consistent.

Below is a simple summary of the above regarding how to respond to patterns. "Track" means to predict Phantoon's movement to allow all X-Factor particles to connect. This vague description is only used when it should be relatively simple to accomplish. "Shoot" means shoot Phantoon's eye - it is implied that you begin charging the X-Factor after shooting.

The way you move after striking Phantoon when he opens his eye is much more crucial to be aware of than the speed and fluctuations of his patterns. Moving in a consistent manner and then making tiny adjustments in case of incorrect initiation of an opening is crucial for consistent execution of an X-Factor two-round.

Phantoon's speed is directly correlated to the location of Samus as she delivers the opening shot and the distance she is from him while he moves around the room. Phantoon will recoil more if Samus is nearby and speed up if Samus is far away.

For the most part, the most consistent thing a player can do is move around as little as possible to ensure that Phantoon always performs the same movement during an opening; however, there are some patterns where this is not possible.

Adjustments during the fight can be made in two ways - either moving to the the left or right depending on Phantoon's position, or turning around while charging. Performing turnarounds while charging the beam will delay the X-Factor by a small amount of frames per each time.

Behemoth's method of this fight involves opening up with a charge shot per usual, then firing a Missile right after the first X-Factor particles collide, before Phantoon disappears from the damage, and then firing 3 Missiles and a Super Missile in the second round to finish him off.

An alternative second round method is to open with the charge shot like normal (or shoot out all the flames as phantoon opens akin to PRKD and shoot 2 missiles), and follow it up with two Missiles shortly afterward. Let Phantoon fly off screen, then at the appropriate time, fire two Missiles followed immediately by a Super Missile towards Phantoon. This is sometimes slightly slower than a second X-Factor, but conserves a [[Power Bomb]] as well as allows the player to collect the flame drops from the open on the second round if they opt to mirror the PRKD strategy. These two bonuses to the missile second round allow a player to potentially skip certain farms on the way to Phantoon if they so choose which saves even more time and is generally why the missile second round is regarded as the most optimal way to do the fight by players at the highest level.

If you were only able to damage Phantoon with one particle of the second X-Factor, then on the third round, you should be able to defeat Phantoon with two charge shots and a Super Missile.

If an X-Factor particle hits a flame (usually referred to as being "flame lamed"), you won't output enough damage to defeat Phantoon in two rounds without adapting. One way to adapt is to shoot an extra charge shot shot before the X-Factor in the second round, which entails another set of setups.

'''Video Of Every Pattern, by Nutella'''

=== Max% GT Code ===

Phantoon is much more difficult in this category due to only having 99 health, 5 missiles, and having to rely on Phantoon's eyedrops for more missile drops. There are a few strategies to get a semi-consistent Phantoon fight. If doing dopplers, shoot out a missile so that you have 4 missiles at all times. By doing that, you can shoot the eyedrops until Phantoon's eye opens and pick up the drops as you are performing the doppler. This is most reliable if you are at full health so the drops are always either missile drops or super drops. Alternatively, since drop rng is not something you want to depend your run on, a slightly easier variation of this doppler includes utilizing super frames which allows you to shoot a super at Phantoon without enraging him. [https://clips.twitch.tv/ObeseEagerOrangeArsonNoSexy Here is an example of a 2 round using super frames.]

Instead, if you collect charge beam, you can use a fully charged beam particle to replace the super missile. This method is much more consistent since you don't have to shoot a frame perfect super. [https://youtu.be/9-y5pfm1cEo Here is an example of a 2 round using charge beam] However this method is much more dependent on missile drops.

Another method is using [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Spazer_Shield|Golden Showers]] to replace x-factors since grabbing wave takes too much time compared to getting spazer. An optimal fight using golden showers would be to fire 2 missiles immediately after Phantoon's eye opens, waiting a bit, then firing two more missiles. Then, as Phantoon flies offscreen, select power bombs and charge as quickly as possible. If done correctly, both particles should hit and Phantoon can be beaten in 3 rounds. [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/351591951 Here is an example of that.]

This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCwpP47E-0A video] summarizes some 2-round strategies for the common item combinations.

=== Hybrid Strat ===

The hybrid strat for Phantoon is 2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles, super missile (2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles xfactor - this is if you have no super missiles for round 2). When Phantoons eye opens, you want to shoot two regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon, then dash to the left wall, do a full jump and at the peak fire two more regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon. Immediately press and hold right and menu over to power bombs. As soon as you are towards the lower portion of Phantoons body you will want to start charging to perform an X-Factor. Continue holding right until you reach the right side wall, you want to make your way to this wall without using dash. Once you reach the wall, perform a full jump (with no spin) this will pull Phantoon to the top of the screen where your X-factor will connect with all four shots. From there you will want to shoot 2 more missiles into Phantoons eye when it opens next, wait a moment, fire two more missiles, and then immediately a super missile. That will finish off Phantoon. If you do not have a super missile to finish the fight, simply repeat the pattern for round 1 and do a double x-factor instead.

== Phantoon Third ==

=== Reverse Boss Order ===

Assuming you obtained [[Plasma Beam]] and thus have charged Ice/Wave/Plasma at your disposal, Phantoon will only require seven Missiles and two charge shots to defeat. You can strike Phantoon with three Missiles and a charge shot in the first round followed by four Missiles and a charge shot in the second round, or visa versa.

== Phantoon Fourth ==

=== GT Classic ===

Having the items from [[Golden Torizo Code|GT Code]] allows for the [[X-Plasma]] exploit to be performed by activating X-Ray Scope multiple times as a charged Ice/Wave/Plasma shot passes through Phantoon during an opening.

Since charged Ice/Wave/Plasma deals 900 damage, you can slay Phantoon in this manner with only one charge shot with proper X-Ray Scope activations.

Phantoon needs to be struck by a source other than the charge shot ''before'' attempting this exploit, otherwise he will simply disappear once struck without allowing the exploit to occur. Try using Missiles when he opens (a well-timed Missile can consume all of the flames when they spawn, and a second will strike Phantoon) so he will start to fly around, then perform the exploit. Be careful not to accidentally strike him with more than two Missiles in this manner, otherwise he will disappear.

Amh: better viz

{{Boss info
|title=Phantoon
|image=Phantoon.png
|location=[[Phantoon's Room]], [[Wrecked Ship]]
|health=2500
}}

= General Information =

Phantoon has 2500 health.

Phantoon is only vulnerable to damage through his eye when it is exposed, where [[Missile|Missiles]], [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], [[Charge Beam|charged shots]], and [[Charge Beam Combos|special beam attacks]] will deal damage.

Super Missiles will deal 600 damage to Phantoon instead of their normal 300; however, using a Super Missile on Phantoon that does not finish him off will enrage Phantoon, causing him to spend roughly 18 seconds sending waves of flames down from above before starting another pattern.

Phantoon's flames can be negated by [[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo-Screw]] or [[Screw Attack]].

Phantoon will perform one of six patterns to begin the fight, and then will perform one of six different patterns in the second round, as well as remaining rounds thereafter. (12 total patterns)

A "round" consists of the time from which Phantoon appears to begin a pattern, to the point he disappears to start another pattern or perishes.

Both Phantoon and his flames will deal 10 / 20 / 40 damage to [[Gravity Suit]] / [[Varia Suit]] / [[Power Suit]] Samus, respectively.

Multiple flames can strike Samus at once. If you are on top of Phantoon's eye without invulnerability as he opens and produces eight flames, they can all collide with Samus at once, which usually spells death, and is referred to as the "Sunrise Surprise."

= Interactions =

== Figure 8 ==

Phantoon will move in a figure 8 type of motion around the room until he opens his eye, dropping flames as he does so. These flames can [[Enemies#Bosses|drop items]].

Phantoon can open at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. A 'fast' opening will have Phantoon open his eye around one second after becoming visible. A 'medium' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'fast' opening, and a 'slow' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'medium' opening.

===First Round===

In the first round, Phantoon will start at the top center of the room and then choose to move to the right or to the left, each with 50% chance. A right side figure 8 will always be the same pattern, with Phantoon opening his eye in one of three possible positions, named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Similarly, a left side figure 8 will always be the same, with the three possible positions for the eye to open named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Given a right or left side pattern, fasts and mids have 25% chance each, while slows have 50% chance of occurring. The frame Phantoon starts moving is what sets where Phantoon's eye will open.

===Second Round===

For the second and subsequent rounds, Phantoon will start at either the top right or top left of the room and proceed to move in a figure 8 pattern. Even though these two figure 8 patterns are different from those of the first round, they also are always the same and each have three different eye opening spots, "fast", "mid" and "slow". The percentages for each eye opening spot [https://milde.no/public/sm/science/PhantoonRng.txt have been simulated to be]

* left: fast 24.52% | mid 0.70% | slow 24.87%

* right: fast 0.35% | mid 36.80% | slow 12.76%

Therefore, the compounded percentages for second round and above are:

* left 50.09% | right 49.91%

* fast 24.87% | mid 37.50% | slow 37.63%

===Flames===

Whenever Phantoon is moving in figure 8, flames will drop from his eye as if tears. There are four possible flame patterns, each with 25% chance of being chosen and with a roughly 3 second cooldown between them. Indicating a flame by "F" and a 16 frames interval by "-", the four flame patterns are:

* F-F-F (quick 3)

* F--F--F--F--F (moderate 5)

* F---F---F---F---F---F---F (sluggish 7)

* F-F--F----F--F----F-F (varied 7 or 322)

A flame pattern that is interrupted by Phantoon's eye opening will be paused and continued later, when Phantoon closes his eye and starts doing figure 8's again (this still applies if Phantoon turns invisible).

== Open ==

When Phantoon's eye opens from a pattern, he will produce eight flames that will spiral outward across the screen.

After Phantoon takes damage during this opening, he will fly around the room in a similar manner, attempting to ram Samus. Samus's positioning will influence his movement.

Phantoon can be damaged at multiple points during an opening. If Phantoon takes 300+ damage during one barrage, he will disappear to start another pattern, so make sure to keep your shots spaced out enough. If Phantoon has taken a total of 400+ damage after the third barrage (example - Missile hit, wait for a second, repeat three times), he will disappear to start another pattern. If Phantoon is struck with a Super Missile at any point during his opening, he will disappear to begin an enrage phase. If Phantoon is not made to disappear from one of these conditions, he will naturally disappear on his own after about six seconds of flying around.

If Phantoon does not take damage after opening his eye (from a figure 8 pattern), he will close his eye, disappear, and start to move in a figure 8 pattern but now invisible (flames continue to drop). When invisble Phantoon opens his eye, instead of sending a spiral of flames out, he will rain flames down in a horizontal line from the ceiling. After the first time he opens in this manner, he will continue to disappear and reopen every couple of seconds while continuing to rain flames until he takes damage.

Phantoon can close his eye at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. The amount of time the eye stays open and its chance percentages are: 15 frames, 25% | 30 frames, 37.5% | 60 frames, 37.5%.

== Enrage ==

As stated previously, Phantoon will enrage if struck with a Super Missile that does not destroy him. Phantoon cannot be damaged while in this state. He will stay at the top of the screen where he will send waves of flames whipping down from the ceiling that will alternate from left to right. The waves happen at 128 frame intervals.

After eight waves, he will disappear to start another pattern.

With appropriately-timed beam shots, you can destroy many of these flames at once, thus farming them. Alternatively, you can perform a pseudo-Screw throughout this entire phase to avoid all damage.

=== Enrage Skip ===

If a Super hits Phantoon on the specific frame as he starts moving around the room, he will not become enraged. If implemented in a run this would allow for killing Phantoon in a single round, though it would be very difficult.

{{#ev:youtube|CEqi68cc70o}}

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KVWUEc_Z7pG_1ycbEB5FIhKkPLBaeKAxrJ4javr2i5M/edit?usp=sharing FreyasSpirit's analysis of Phantoon's AI to explain this behavior]

= Categories =

== Phantoon First ==

=== Any% PRKD ===

The primary method for destroying Phantoon in this category is through the use of the "[http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#Phantoon doppler]" technique. Basically, whenever Phantoon takes damage that would make him disappear (excluding being struck with a Super Missile), he will attempt to close his eye; however, Phantoon needs some time (approximately ten frames) for that to happen, making it possible for him to continue to take damage if this time is interrupted, which it can be if Missiles are fired at the appropriate rate.

The cooldown for missiles is 9 frames, but to avoid having an input not register by being too early, the ideal doppler spacing is 10 frames. This gives a tempo of 350 beats per minute, which this video essentially gives a metronome for.

{{#ev:youtube|-mWsZ3mqFPw}}

The easiest method for performing a doppler on Phantoon is to allow him to fly off-screen, then hold a forward direction while mashing the shot button with Missiles selected until you are right next to Phantoon. Doing so, you should be able to consistently have three to four Missiles connect with Phantoon before he disappears.

A typical round utilizing the doppler in this manner will look something like this:

* Fire an uncharged beam shot towards Phantoon to extinguish the flames he generates upon opening from a pattern
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then wait briefly
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then let him gain some distance
* Fire as many Missiles as you can while walking towards him right as he would re-enter the room

Even doing something as simple as this, you can become consistent at defeating Phantoon in under four rounds. In the last round, you will want to fire a Super Missile at the end of your third barrage. If you managed to doppler efficiently enough in the first two rounds, then you may not need to doppler anything at all in the third round.

It is possible to slay Phantoon in under three rounds if you incorporate stuttering during your doppler to have more Missiles land. Ideally, you will be able to strike Phantoon with ten Missiles total in the first round (2-2-6) and nine Missiles with the Super Missile as a finisher (2-2-5+S) in the second round. It is possible to still two round even with a worse first round, but every additional Missile needed makes it that much more unlikely.

{{#ev:youtube|cl7ETKGNflQ}}

Another option for this fight is to incorporate charged shots between Missile barrages. Two charge shots will reduce the amount of Missiles normally required by one, potentially making a two round fight easier in that regard.

A concern for this strategy is having enough ammo to defeat Phantoon in these few rounds. Although fast patterns are certainly ideal for speedrunning, multiple fast patterns can cause the player to run into an issue where they are not equipped with enough Missiles from drops to defeat Phantoon accordingly with the doppler technique.

Being familiar with how Phantoon will move off-screen and how Samus can influence his movement is important here. Without proper manipulation of Phantoon, there will be certain patterns where he will fly directly over your attempt at a doppler if you allow him to fly off-screen. For these patterns, having Samus jump up a certain height right as Phantoon swings off-screen can influence him into having a lower positioning when he swings back into the room.

For each pattern, there's also a way to doppler Phantoon while keeping him on-screen, which is a few seconds faster than letting him go off-screen. This may involve a very difficult move such as an Air Doppler.

{{#ev:youtube|fiuQTIZCXOg}}

{{#ev:youtube|gc_i6AGMOzQ}}

Slower patterns tend to be the hardest to punish due to the time in which Phantoon will lay flames before opening, as well as the position in which Phantoon will open from these patterns. It is recommended to practice those the most, especially since you are likely to receive them the most in runs.

The optimal manner of dealing with the eight flames Phantoon produces when he opens his eye from a pattern is to fire a single beam shot at them, such that the beam shot consumes all of the flames at once, leaving Phantoon's eye directly exposed to Missiles, and leaving a cluster of drops floating in the air. You can alternatively dodge them with pseudo-Screw or possibly by being morphed. In case you miss the opening beam shot, you can try intercepting flames with the beam as well.

Something you may have to get used to is that the hitbox of the uncharged [[Power Beam]] is small enough that it can appear to pass through flames.

Due to the lack of Varia Suit, everything will deal at least 40 damage, making large energy drops much less effective than in Phantoon Second routes since it would require two of them to nullify a flame's damage. It can also put you in an awkward position where, if you end up between 30 and 40 energy, you will be low enough to die to a single flame, but not low enough to force the 'health bomb' effect to occur.

If Phantoon begins to rain flames, you can crouch or morph to lower the chance of Phantoon appearing on top of you, and hold angle buttons appropriately to shoot the flames that would fall on top of you, while also striking Phantoon with a Missile or two when you have the opportunity. For maximum safety, you can strike Phantoon with three Missiles in a row so that he will disappear and start another pattern.

=== 14% ===

Basically, all information for [[Any% PRKD]] also applies here; however, in 14% categories, the chance of executing a two-round on Phantoon is reduced due to always having a cap of 10 Missiles, making well-timed Missile drops more important than in Any% PRKD.

== Phantoon Second ==

=== Any% KPDR (Beginner) ===

With Charge Beam, [[Wave Beam]], and [[Spazer]] equipped, you can slay Phantoon in four rounds.

Strike Phantoon with a charge shot when he opens, then hit him with two more and he should disappear. Repeat this process three more times and he should perish. This can be sped up slightly by the inclusion of a Super Missile in the last round - charge shot when he opens, then Super Missile.

It can help to fight from the corners of the room (probably the left corner) to minimize damage. The flames Phantoon drops will rarely reach the corners of the room before being shot. You can crouch in the bottom left corner when flames are raining down, and aim up to shoot the flame that would land and fall on top of you during this scenario. Phantoon's body should rarely (if ever) touch you when performing this strategy.

To minimize damage taken, fight from the corners, usually the left corner. Flames he drops while moving around rarely touch the corners before you can shoot them. Then crouch in the bottom left corner when he is in the rain state. You should rarely, if ever, get touched by his body doing this. Aim up and shoot to kill the flame that would land and fall on you. Strike Phantoon in the middle or right side of the screen to help prevent him from drifting into you, which should give you time to hit with the three charge shots needed to make him disappear before he would fly into you. Jumping and shooting across the center of the screen to hit him off-screen works in most situations; however, you should listen for Phantoon's cry to confirm that you actually damaged him.

This method should also work with [[Ice Beam]] instead of Wave Beam in this combo; however, it would be much more difficult to execute since the beam would not penetrate the walls. There is also essentially no reason to not have Wave Beam at this point anyway, so this is simply a note for knowledge purposes.

=== Any% KPDR (Intermediate) ===

In the 2018 Any% Tournament, runner MassHesteria demonstrated a good technique for runners who pick up both Spazer, and Early Ice. For each round, fire two missiles, then two missiles, then a Charge Shot. This will kill Phantoon in 4 rounds. This allows the runner to save on pauses compared with the Beginner technique listed above.

It can finish in 3 rounds if you use a Missile and a Super Missile in a mini-doppler pattern on the third round. This technique can save ample time over a three-round doppler if you still need phantoon to fly offscreen in order to hit enough missiles to achieve the 3 round, since the first two rounds don't need to wait for Phantoon to come back on-screen.

{{#ev:youtube|vpZ6TnEXlKQ}}

=== Any% KPDR (Optimal) ===

The optimal strategy for defeating Phantoon is to utilize the [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Wave_Shield|X-Factor]] to attempt to defeat Phantoon in only two rounds.

You will want to open every time with a pseudo-Screw (from your charge shot that you are about to use) to avoid the flames from Phantoon's opening, then use the charge shot directly on Phantoon, followed by the X-Factor, performed accordingly based on the speed and position of Phantoon's opening.

Below are guides which will provide strategies for each variation of Phantoon's openings. These different setups will be explained via crude drawings and text summaries.

The drawing of Phantoon is based on where he is going to appear on the screen. The black arrow is where you want to fire the charge shot for the opener. The X is where you are going to be hitting him with the X-Factor. The green line indicates the direction and way you need to move to make the X-Factor connect. For the left slow opening of the second round, the red line indicates how Phantoon is going to move.

'''1st Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/AqMF7.png Left Fast] - Phantoon is going to appear on the bottom left and you want to make sure that you jump through the flames and hit Phantoon on his right side to initiate the setup. From here, he will recoil back, so you need to immediately start charging and run to the right. Once you hit the right wall, you need to jump to the top of the room immediately. So long as you do not turn around and you move as the green arrow indicates, it should connect every single time.

[http://i.imgur.com/JVdIQ.png Left Medium] - This is one of the easier patterns. Simply jump up, shoot him, and then face left in the middle of the room while trying not to move. If for whatever reason Phantoon is moving in an usual manner, you can make adjustments by performing turnarounds to delay the X-Factor, or by walking to the right (if you were too slow). Jumping can sometimes help, but it is not recommended. This is also the most common setup for this method of quick kill.

[http://i.imgur.com/ApvVA.png Left Slow] - Another pattern where you pretty much just shoot and stay in the middle of the room while facing left. Once again, make adjustments if it looks like it is about to fail.

[http://i.imgur.com/0FdAM.png Right Fast] - This pattern is ideal for speed and ease.

[http://i.imgur.com/MdTZN.png Right Medium] - This one is a tad tricky. You can actually hit him from three different places - the middle of the room, the top right corner, and the place displayed in the image. The place displayed in the image is probably the easiest to use, but feel free to test all three to see which of them you prefer.

[http://i.imgur.com/OVn5x.png Right Slow] - Not much needs to be said here.

'''2nd Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/t5bhv.png Left Fast] - Similar to first round's Left Fast, you want to jump in the air, and upon landing, run to the right wall, then jump towards the ceiling.

[http://i.imgur.com/6akbt.png Left Slow] - This is by far the most complex X-Factor to setup, but so long as you move the same every time, it should connect properly. Basically, you just want to spinjump into him and as soon as the shot hits, hold left. '''Do not stop holding left and do not face right'''. After you have landed, you want to immediately jump up to the ceiling so you can manipulate Phantoon into a fixed Y-position. After you have touched the ceiling, you want to start charging up a shot right as you're about to touch the grey door to your left. Upon landing, just jump back up to the ceiling as phantoon approaches and it should hit. This one will probably require a little bit of practice since it's the only one that's timing based instead of being solely position based.

[http://i.imgur.com/oIw2u.png Right Medium] - This is by far the most common second round pattern. For the most part, it is pretty simple. As long as you stand in the middle of the room and adjust your positioning based on Phantoon's movement, it should connect.

[http://i.imgur.com/wK1kR.png Right Slow] - For this pattern, it is very helpful to run to the left wall to make it connect. You can execute from the middle of the room as well, but it is not nearly as consistent.

Below is a simple summary of the above regarding how to respond to patterns. "Track" means to predict Phantoon's movement to allow all X-Factor particles to connect. This vague description is only used when it should be relatively simple to accomplish. "Shoot" means shoot Phantoon's eye - it is implied that you begin charging the X-Factor after shooting.
{|
! Pattern (Round, Position, Speed) || Response

| 1st, Left, Fast || shoot, hop, walk right

| 1st, Left, Medium || jump, shoot, track

|-
| 2nd, Right, Slow || jump, shoot, track
|}

The way you move after striking Phantoon when he opens his eye is much more crucial to be aware of than the speed and fluctuations of his patterns. Moving in a consistent manner and then making tiny adjustments in case of incorrect initiation of an opening is crucial for consistent execution of an X-Factor two-round.

Phantoon's speed is directly correlated to the location of Samus as she delivers the opening shot and the distance she is from him while he moves around the room. Phantoon will recoil more if Samus is nearby and speed up if Samus is far away.

For the most part, the most consistent thing a player can do is move around as little as possible to ensure that Phantoon always performs the same movement during an opening; however, there are some patterns where this is not possible.

Adjustments during the fight can be made in two ways - either moving to the the left or right depending on Phantoon's position, or turning around while charging. Performing turnarounds while charging the beam will delay the X-Factor by a small amount of frames per each time.

Behemoth's method of this fight involves opening up with a charge shot per usual, then firing a Missile right after the first X-Factor particles collide, before Phantoon disappears from the damage, and then firing 3 Missiles and a Super Missile in the second round to finish him off.

An alternative second round method is to open with the charge shot like normal (or shoot out all the flames as phantoon opens akin to PRKD and shoot 2 missiles), and follow it up with two Missiles shortly afterward. Let Phantoon fly off screen, then at the appropriate time, fire two Missiles followed immediately by a Super Missile towards Phantoon. This is sometimes slightly slower than a second X-Factor, but conserves a [[Power Bomb]] as well as allows the player to collect the flame drops from the open on the second round if they opt to mirror the PRKD strategy. These two bonuses to the missile second round allow a player to potentially skip certain farms on the way to Phantoon if they so choose which saves even more time and is generally why the missile second round is regarded as the most optimal way to do the fight by players at the highest level.

If you were only able to damage Phantoon with one particle of the second X-Factor, then on the third round, you should be able to defeat Phantoon with two charge shots and a Super Missile.

If an X-Factor particle hits a flame (usually referred to as being "flame lamed"), you won't output enough damage to defeat Phantoon in two rounds without adapting. One way to adapt is to shoot an extra charge shot shot before the X-Factor in the second round, which entails another set of setups.

=== Max% GT Code ===

Phantoon is much more difficult in this category due to only having 99 health, 5 missiles, and having to rely on Phantoon's eyedrops for more missile drops. There are a few strategies to get a semi-consistent Phantoon fight. If doing dopplers, shoot out a missile so that you have 4 missiles at all times. By doing that, you can shoot the eyedrops until Phantoon's eye opens and pick up the drops as you are performing the doppler. This is most reliable if you are at full health so the drops are always either missile drops or super drops. Alternatively, since drop rng is not something you want to depend your run on, a slightly easier variation of this doppler includes utilizing super frames which allows you to shoot a super at Phantoon without enraging him. [https://clips.twitch.tv/ObeseEagerOrangeArsonNoSexy Here is an example of a 2 round using super frames.]

Instead, if you collect charge beam, you can use a fully charged beam particle to replace the super missile. This method is much more consistent since you don't have to shoot a frame perfect super. [https://youtu.be/9-y5pfm1cEo Here is an example of a 2 round using charge beam] However this method is much more dependent on missile drops.

Another method is using [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Spazer_Shield|Golden Showers]] to replace x-factors since grabbing wave takes too much time compared to getting spazer. An optimal fight using golden showers would be to fire 2 missiles immediately after Phantoon's eye opens, waiting a bit, then firing two more missiles. Then, as Phantoon flies offscreen, select power bombs and charge as quickly as possible. If done correctly, both particles should hit and Phantoon can be beaten in 3 rounds. [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/351591951 Here is an example of that.]

This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCwpP47E-0A video] summarizes some 2-round strategies for the common item combinations.

=== Hybrid Strat ===

The hybrid strat for Phantoon is 2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles, super missile (2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles xfactor - this is if you have no super missiles for round 2). When Phantoons eye opens, you want to shoot two regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon, then dash to the left wall, do a full jump and at the peak fire two more regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon. Immediately press and hold right and menu over to power bombs. As soon as you are towards the lower portion of Phantoons body you will want to start charging to perform an X-Factor. Continue holding right until you reach the right side wall, you want to make your way to this wall without using dash. Once you reach the wall, perform a full jump (with no spin) this will pull Phantoon to the top of the screen where your X-factor will connect with all four shots. From there you will want to shoot 2 more missiles into Phantoons eye when it opens next, wait a moment, fire two more missiles, and then immediately a super missile. That will finish off Phantoon. If you do not have a super missile to finish the fight, simply repeat the pattern for round 1 and do a double x-factor instead.

== Phantoon Third ==

=== Reverse Boss Order ===

Assuming you obtained [[Plasma Beam]] and thus have charged Ice/Wave/Plasma at your disposal, Phantoon will only require seven Missiles and two charge shots to defeat. You can strike Phantoon with three Missiles and a charge shot in the first round followed by four Missiles and a charge shot in the second round, or visa versa.

== Phantoon Fourth ==

=== GT Classic ===

Having the items from [[Golden Torizo Code|GT Code]] allows for the [[X-Plasma]] exploit to be performed by activating X-Ray Scope multiple times as a charged Ice/Wave/Plasma shot passes through Phantoon during an opening.

Since charged Ice/Wave/Plasma deals 900 damage, you can slay Phantoon in this manner with only one charge shot with proper X-Ray Scope activations.

Phantoon needs to be struck by a source other than the charge shot ''before'' attempting this exploit, otherwise he will simply disappear once struck without allowing the exploit to occur. Try using Missiles when he opens (a well-timed Missile can consume all of the flames when they spawn, and a second will strike Phantoon) so he will start to fly around, then perform the exploit. Be careful not to accidentally strike him with more than two Missiles in this manner, otherwise he will disappear.

Phantoon

2022-09-18T05:53:45Z

Amh: added pattern percentages, flame patterns, eye patterns

{{Boss info
|title=Phantoon
|image=Phantoon.png
|location=[[Phantoon's Room]], [[Wrecked Ship]]
|health=2500
}}

= General Information =

Phantoon has 2500 health.

Phantoon is only vulnerable to damage through his eye when it is exposed, where [[Missile|Missiles]], [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], [[Charge Beam|charged shots]], and [[Charge Beam Combos|special beam attacks]] will deal damage.

Super Missiles will deal 600 damage to Phantoon instead of their normal 300; however, using a Super Missile on Phantoon that does not finish him off will enrage Phantoon, causing him to spend roughly 18 seconds sending waves of flames down from above before starting another pattern.

Phantoon's flames can be negated by [[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo-Screw]] or [[Screw Attack]].

Phantoon will perform one of six patterns to begin the fight, and then will perform one of six different patterns in the second round, as well as remaining rounds thereafter. (12 total patterns)

A "round" consists of the time from which Phantoon appears to begin a pattern, to the point he disappears to start another pattern or perishes.

Both Phantoon and his flames will deal 10 / 20 / 40 damage to [[Gravity Suit]] / [[Varia Suit]] / [[Power Suit]] Samus, respectively.

Multiple flames can strike Samus at once. If you are on top of Phantoon's eye without invulnerability as he opens and produces eight flames, they can all collide with Samus at once, which usually spells death, and is referred to as the "Sunrise Surprise."

= Interactions =

== Figure 8 ==

Phantoon will move in a figure 8 type of motion around the room until he opens his eye, dropping flames as he does so. These flames can [[Enemies#Bosses|drop items]].

Phantoon can open at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. A 'fast' opening will have Phantoon open his eye around one second after becoming visible. A 'medium' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'fast' opening, and a 'slow' opening will take about five seconds longer than a 'medium' opening.

In the first round, Phantoon will start at the top center of the room and then choose to move to the right or to the left, each with 50% chance. A right side figure 8 will always be the same pattern, with Phantoon opening his eye in one of three possible positions, named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Similarly, a left side figure 8 will always be the same, with the three possible positions for the eye to open named "fast", "mid" and "slow". Given a right or left side pattern, fasts and mids have 25% chance each, while slows have 50% chance of occurring. The frame Phantoon starts moving is what sets where Phantoon's eye will open.

For the second and subsequent rounds, Phantoon will start at either the top right or top left of the room and proceed to move in a figure 8 pattern. Even though these two figure 8 patterns are different from those of the first round, they also are always the same and each have three different eye opening spots, "fast", "mid" and "slow". The percentages for each eye opening spot [https://milde.no/public/sm/science/PhantoonRng.txt have been simulated to be]

* left: fast 24.52% | mid 0.70% | slow 24.87%

* right: fast 0.35% | mid 36.80% | slow 12.76%

Therefore, the compounded percentages for second round and above are:

* left 50.09% | right 49.91%

* fast 24.87% | mid 37.50% | slow 37.63%

Whenever Phantoon is moving in figure 8, flames will drop from his eye as if tears. There are four possible flame patterns, each with 25% chance of being chosen and with a roughly 3 second cooldown between them. Indicating a flame by "F" and a 16 frames interval by "-", the four flame patterns are:

* F-F-F (quick 3)

* F--F--F--F--F (moderate 5)

* F---F---F---F---F---F---F (sluggish 7)

* F-F--F----F--F----F-F (varied 7 or 322)

A flame pattern that is interrupted by Phantoon's eye opening will be paused and continued later, when Phantoon closes his eye and starts doing figure 8's again (this still applies if Phantoon turns invisible).

== Open ==

When Phantoon's eye opens from a pattern, he will produce eight flames that will spiral outward across the screen.

After Phantoon takes damage during this opening, he will fly around the room in a similar manner, attempting to ram Samus. Samus's positioning will influence his movement.

Phantoon can be damaged at multiple points during an opening. If Phantoon takes 300+ damage during one barrage, he will disappear to start another pattern, so make sure to keep your shots spaced out enough. If Phantoon has taken a total of 400+ damage after the third barrage (example - Missile hit, wait for a second, repeat three times), he will disappear to start another pattern. If Phantoon is struck with a Super Missile at any point during his opening, he will disappear to begin an enrage phase. If Phantoon is not made to disappear from one of these conditions, he will naturally disappear on his own after about six seconds of flying around.

If Phantoon does not take damage after opening his eye (from a figure 8 pattern), he will close his eye, disappear, and start to move in a figure 8 pattern but now invisible (flames continue to drop). When invisble Phantoon opens his eye, instead of sending a spiral of flames out, he will rain flames down in a horizontal line from the ceiling. After the first time he opens in this manner, he will continue to disappear and reopen every couple of seconds while continuing to rain flames until he takes damage.

Phantoon can close his eye at either a 'fast', 'medium', or 'slow' speed. The amount of time the eye stays open and its chance percentages are: 15 frames, 25% | 30 frames, 37.5% | 60 frames, 37.5%.

== Enrage ==

As stated previously, Phantoon will enrage if struck with a Super Missile that does not destroy him. Phantoon cannot be damaged while in this state. He will stay at the top of the screen where he will send waves of flames whipping down from the ceiling that will alternate from left to right. The waves happen at 128 frame intervals.

After eight waves, he will disappear to start another pattern.

With appropriately-timed beam shots, you can destroy many of these flames at once, thus farming them. Alternatively, you can perform a pseudo-Screw throughout this entire phase to avoid all damage.

=== Enrage Skip ===

If a Super hits Phantoon on the specific frame as he starts moving around the room, he will not become enraged. If implemented in a run this would allow for killing Phantoon in a single round, though it would be very difficult.

{{#ev:youtube|CEqi68cc70o}}

[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KVWUEc_Z7pG_1ycbEB5FIhKkPLBaeKAxrJ4javr2i5M/edit?usp=sharing FreyasSpirit's analysis of Phantoon's AI to explain this behavior]

= Categories =

== Phantoon First ==

=== Any% PRKD ===

The primary method for destroying Phantoon in this category is through the use of the "[http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/SNES/SuperMetroid.html#Phantoon doppler]" technique. Basically, whenever Phantoon takes damage that would make him disappear (excluding being struck with a Super Missile), he will attempt to close his eye; however, Phantoon needs some time (approximately ten frames) for that to happen, making it possible for him to continue to take damage if this time is interrupted, which it can be if Missiles are fired at the appropriate rate.

The cooldown for missiles is 9 frames, but to avoid having an input not register by being too early, the ideal doppler spacing is 10 frames. This gives a tempo of 350 beats per minute, which this video essentially gives a metronome for.

{{#ev:youtube|-mWsZ3mqFPw}}

The easiest method for performing a doppler on Phantoon is to allow him to fly off-screen, then hold a forward direction while mashing the shot button with Missiles selected until you are right next to Phantoon. Doing so, you should be able to consistently have three to four Missiles connect with Phantoon before he disappears.

A typical round utilizing the doppler in this manner will look something like this:

* Fire an uncharged beam shot towards Phantoon to extinguish the flames he generates upon opening from a pattern
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then wait briefly
* Fire two Missiles at Phantoon, then let him gain some distance
* Fire as many Missiles as you can while walking towards him right as he would re-enter the room

Even doing something as simple as this, you can become consistent at defeating Phantoon in under four rounds. In the last round, you will want to fire a Super Missile at the end of your third barrage. If you managed to doppler efficiently enough in the first two rounds, then you may not need to doppler anything at all in the third round.

It is possible to slay Phantoon in under three rounds if you incorporate stuttering during your doppler to have more Missiles land. Ideally, you will be able to strike Phantoon with ten Missiles total in the first round (2-2-6) and nine Missiles with the Super Missile as a finisher (2-2-5+S) in the second round. It is possible to still two round even with a worse first round, but every additional Missile needed makes it that much more unlikely.

{{#ev:youtube|cl7ETKGNflQ}}

Another option for this fight is to incorporate charged shots between Missile barrages. Two charge shots will reduce the amount of Missiles normally required by one, potentially making a two round fight easier in that regard.

A concern for this strategy is having enough ammo to defeat Phantoon in these few rounds. Although fast patterns are certainly ideal for speedrunning, multiple fast patterns can cause the player to run into an issue where they are not equipped with enough Missiles from drops to defeat Phantoon accordingly with the doppler technique.

Being familiar with how Phantoon will move off-screen and how Samus can influence his movement is important here. Without proper manipulation of Phantoon, there will be certain patterns where he will fly directly over your attempt at a doppler if you allow him to fly off-screen. For these patterns, having Samus jump up a certain height right as Phantoon swings off-screen can influence him into having a lower positioning when he swings back into the room.

For each pattern, there's also a way to doppler Phantoon while keeping him on-screen, which is a few seconds faster than letting him go off-screen. This may involve a very difficult move such as an Air Doppler.

{{#ev:youtube|fiuQTIZCXOg}}

{{#ev:youtube|gc_i6AGMOzQ}}

Slower patterns tend to be the hardest to punish due to the time in which Phantoon will lay flames before opening, as well as the position in which Phantoon will open from these patterns. It is recommended to practice those the most, especially since you are likely to receive them the most in runs.

The optimal manner of dealing with the eight flames Phantoon produces when he opens his eye from a pattern is to fire a single beam shot at them, such that the beam shot consumes all of the flames at once, leaving Phantoon's eye directly exposed to Missiles, and leaving a cluster of drops floating in the air. You can alternatively dodge them with pseudo-Screw or possibly by being morphed. In case you miss the opening beam shot, you can try intercepting flames with the beam as well.

Something you may have to get used to is that the hitbox of the uncharged [[Power Beam]] is small enough that it can appear to pass through flames.

Due to the lack of Varia Suit, everything will deal at least 40 damage, making large energy drops much less effective than in Phantoon Second routes since it would require two of them to nullify a flame's damage. It can also put you in an awkward position where, if you end up between 30 and 40 energy, you will be low enough to die to a single flame, but not low enough to force the 'health bomb' effect to occur.

If Phantoon begins to rain flames, you can crouch or morph to lower the chance of Phantoon appearing on top of you, and hold angle buttons appropriately to shoot the flames that would fall on top of you, while also striking Phantoon with a Missile or two when you have the opportunity. For maximum safety, you can strike Phantoon with three Missiles in a row so that he will disappear and start another pattern.

=== 14% ===

Basically, all information for [[Any% PRKD]] also applies here; however, in 14% categories, the chance of executing a two-round on Phantoon is reduced due to always having a cap of 10 Missiles, making well-timed Missile drops more important than in Any% PRKD.

== Phantoon Second ==

=== Any% KPDR (Beginner) ===

With Charge Beam, [[Wave Beam]], and [[Spazer]] equipped, you can slay Phantoon in four rounds.

Strike Phantoon with a charge shot when he opens, then hit him with two more and he should disappear. Repeat this process three more times and he should perish. This can be sped up slightly by the inclusion of a Super Missile in the last round - charge shot when he opens, then Super Missile.

It can help to fight from the corners of the room (probably the left corner) to minimize damage. The flames Phantoon drops will rarely reach the corners of the room before being shot. You can crouch in the bottom left corner when flames are raining down, and aim up to shoot the flame that would land and fall on top of you during this scenario. Phantoon's body should rarely (if ever) touch you when performing this strategy.

To minimize damage taken, fight from the corners, usually the left corner. Flames he drops while moving around rarely touch the corners before you can shoot them. Then crouch in the bottom left corner when he is in the rain state. You should rarely, if ever, get touched by his body doing this. Aim up and shoot to kill the flame that would land and fall on you. Strike Phantoon in the middle or right side of the screen to help prevent him from drifting into you, which should give you time to hit with the three charge shots needed to make him disappear before he would fly into you. Jumping and shooting across the center of the screen to hit him off-screen works in most situations; however, you should listen for Phantoon's cry to confirm that you actually damaged him.

This method should also work with [[Ice Beam]] instead of Wave Beam in this combo; however, it would be much more difficult to execute since the beam would not penetrate the walls. There is also essentially no reason to not have Wave Beam at this point anyway, so this is simply a note for knowledge purposes.

=== Any% KPDR (Intermediate) ===

In the 2018 Any% Tournament, runner MassHesteria demonstrated a good technique for runners who pick up both Spazer, and Early Ice. For each round, fire two missiles, then two missiles, then a Charge Shot. This will kill Phantoon in 4 rounds. This allows the runner to save on pauses compared with the Beginner technique listed above.

It can finish in 3 rounds if you use a Missile and a Super Missile in a mini-doppler pattern on the third round. This technique can save ample time over a three-round doppler if you still need phantoon to fly offscreen in order to hit enough missiles to achieve the 3 round, since the first two rounds don't need to wait for Phantoon to come back on-screen.

{{#ev:youtube|vpZ6TnEXlKQ}}

=== Any% KPDR (Optimal) ===

The optimal strategy for defeating Phantoon is to utilize the [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Wave_Shield|X-Factor]] to attempt to defeat Phantoon in only two rounds.

You will want to open every time with a pseudo-Screw (from your charge shot that you are about to use) to avoid the flames from Phantoon's opening, then use the charge shot directly on Phantoon, followed by the X-Factor, performed accordingly based on the speed and position of Phantoon's opening.

Below are guides which will provide strategies for each variation of Phantoon's openings. These different setups will be explained via crude drawings and text summaries.

The drawing of Phantoon is based on where he is going to appear on the screen. The black arrow is where you want to fire the charge shot for the opener. The X is where you are going to be hitting him with the X-Factor. The green line indicates the direction and way you need to move to make the X-Factor connect. For the left slow opening of the second round, the red line indicates how Phantoon is going to move.

'''1st Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/AqMF7.png Left Fast] - Phantoon is going to appear on the bottom left and you want to make sure that you jump through the flames and hit Phantoon on his right side to initiate the setup. From here, he will recoil back, so you need to immediately start charging and run to the right. Once you hit the right wall, you need to jump to the top of the room immediately. So long as you do not turn around and you move as the green arrow indicates, it should connect every single time.

[http://i.imgur.com/JVdIQ.png Left Medium] - This is one of the easier patterns. Simply jump up, shoot him, and then face left in the middle of the room while trying not to move. If for whatever reason Phantoon is moving in an usual manner, you can make adjustments by performing turnarounds to delay the X-Factor, or by walking to the right (if you were too slow). Jumping can sometimes help, but it is not recommended. This is also the most common setup for this method of quick kill.

[http://i.imgur.com/ApvVA.png Left Slow] - Another pattern where you pretty much just shoot and stay in the middle of the room while facing left. Once again, make adjustments if it looks like it is about to fail.

[http://i.imgur.com/0FdAM.png Right Fast] - This pattern is ideal for speed and ease.

[http://i.imgur.com/MdTZN.png Right Medium] - This one is a tad tricky. You can actually hit him from three different places - the middle of the room, the top right corner, and the place displayed in the image. The place displayed in the image is probably the easiest to use, but feel free to test all three to see which of them you prefer.

[http://i.imgur.com/OVn5x.png Right Slow] - Not much needs to be said here.

'''2nd Round'''

[http://i.imgur.com/t5bhv.png Left Fast] - Similar to first round's Left Fast, you want to jump in the air, and upon landing, run to the right wall, then jump towards the ceiling.

[http://i.imgur.com/6akbt.png Left Slow] - This is by far the most complex X-Factor to setup, but so long as you move the same every time, it should connect properly. Basically, you just want to spinjump into him and as soon as the shot hits, hold left. '''Do not stop holding left and do not face right'''. After you have landed, you want to immediately jump up to the ceiling so you can manipulate Phantoon into a fixed Y-position. After you have touched the ceiling, you want to start charging up a shot right as you're about to touch the grey door to your left. Upon landing, just jump back up to the ceiling as phantoon approaches and it should hit. This one will probably require a little bit of practice since it's the only one that's timing based instead of being solely position based.

[http://i.imgur.com/oIw2u.png Right Medium] - This is by far the most common second round pattern. For the most part, it is pretty simple. As long as you stand in the middle of the room and adjust your positioning based on Phantoon's movement, it should connect.

[http://i.imgur.com/wK1kR.png Right Slow] - For this pattern, it is very helpful to run to the left wall to make it connect. You can execute from the middle of the room as well, but it is not nearly as consistent.

Below is a simple summary of the above regarding how to respond to patterns. "Track" means to predict Phantoon's movement to allow all X-Factor particles to connect. This vague description is only used when it should be relatively simple to accomplish. "Shoot" means shoot Phantoon's eye - it is implied that you begin charging the X-Factor after shooting.
{|
! Pattern (Round, Position, Speed) || Response
|-
| 1st, Left, Fast || shoot, hop, walk right
|-
| 1st, Left, Medium || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 1st, Left, Slow || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 1st, Right, Fast || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 1st, Right, Medium || shoot, hop, walk right
|-
| 1st, Right, Slow || jump, shoot, track
|-
| 2nd, Left, Fast || jump, then quickly: shoot, turn right, charge, land, move right
|-
| 2nd, Left, Slow || jump, shoot, jump, shoot, charge when in middle of screen, jump
|-
| 2nd, Right, Medium || shoot, track
|-
| 2nd, Right, Slow || jump, shoot, track
|}

The way you move after striking Phantoon when he opens his eye is much more crucial to be aware of than the speed and fluctuations of his patterns. Moving in a consistent manner and then making tiny adjustments in case of incorrect initiation of an opening is crucial for consistent execution of an X-Factor two-round.

Phantoon's speed is directly correlated to the location of Samus as she delivers the opening shot and the distance she is from him while he moves around the room. Phantoon will recoil more if Samus is nearby and speed up if Samus is far away.

For the most part, the most consistent thing a player can do is move around as little as possible to ensure that Phantoon always performs the same movement during an opening; however, there are some patterns where this is not possible.

Adjustments during the fight can be made in two ways - either moving to the the left or right depending on Phantoon's position, or turning around while charging. Performing turnarounds while charging the beam will delay the X-Factor by a small amount of frames per each time.

Behemoth's method of this fight involves opening up with a charge shot per usual, then firing a Missile right after the first X-Factor particles collide, before Phantoon disappears from the damage, and then firing 3 Missiles and a Super Missile in the second round to finish him off.

An alternative second round method is to open with the charge shot like normal (or shoot out all the flames as phantoon opens akin to PRKD and shoot 2 missiles), and follow it up with two Missiles shortly afterward. Let Phantoon fly off screen, then at the appropriate time, fire two Missiles followed immediately by a Super Missile towards Phantoon. This is sometimes slightly slower than a second X-Factor, but conserves a [[Power Bomb]] as well as allows the player to collect the flame drops from the open on the second round if they opt to mirror the PRKD strategy. These two bonuses to the missile second round allow a player to potentially skip certain farms on the way to Phantoon if they so choose which saves even more time and is generally why the missile second round is regarded as the most optimal way to do the fight by players at the highest level.

If you were only able to damage Phantoon with one particle of the second X-Factor, then on the third round, you should be able to defeat Phantoon with two charge shots and a Super Missile.

If an X-Factor particle hits a flame (usually referred to as being "flame lamed"), you won't output enough damage to defeat Phantoon in two rounds without adapting. One way to adapt is to shoot an extra charge shot shot before the X-Factor in the second round, which entails another set of setups.

'''Video Of Every Pattern, by Nutella'''

[https://www.twitch.tv/nutella4eva/v/97258557 Every Phantoon Pattern]

=== Max% GT Code ===

Phantoon is much more difficult in this category due to only having 99 health, 5 missiles, and having to rely on Phantoon's eyedrops for more missile drops. There are a few strategies to get a semi-consistent Phantoon fight. If doing dopplers, shoot out a missile so that you have 4 missiles at all times. By doing that, you can shoot the eyedrops until Phantoon's eye opens and pick up the drops as you are performing the doppler. This is most reliable if you are at full health so the drops are always either missile drops or super drops. Alternatively, since drop rng is not something you want to depend your run on, a slightly easier variation of this doppler includes utilizing super frames which allows you to shoot a super at Phantoon without enraging him. [https://clips.twitch.tv/ObeseEagerOrangeArsonNoSexy Here is an example of a 2 round using super frames.]

Instead, if you collect charge beam, you can use a fully charged beam particle to replace the super missile. This method is much more consistent since you don't have to shoot a frame perfect super. [https://youtu.be/9-y5pfm1cEo Here is an example of a 2 round using charge beam] However this method is much more dependent on missile drops.

Another method is using [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Spazer_Shield|Golden Showers]] to replace x-factors since grabbing wave takes too much time compared to getting spazer. An optimal fight using golden showers would be to fire 2 missiles immediately after Phantoon's eye opens, waiting a bit, then firing two more missiles. Then, as Phantoon flies offscreen, select power bombs and charge as quickly as possible. If done correctly, both particles should hit and Phantoon can be beaten in 3 rounds. [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/351591951 Here is an example of that.]

This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCwpP47E-0A video] summarizes some 2-round strategies for the common item combinations.

=== Hybrid Strat ===

The hybrid strat for Phantoon is 2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles, super missile (2 missiles, 2 missiles, xfactor, 2 missiles, 2 missiles xfactor - this is if you have no super missiles for round 2). When Phantoons eye opens, you want to shoot two regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon, then dash to the left wall, do a full jump and at the peak fire two more regular missiles (reds) into Phantoon. Immediately press and hold right and menu over to power bombs. As soon as you are towards the lower portion of Phantoons body you will want to start charging to perform an X-Factor. Continue holding right until you reach the right side wall, you want to make your way to this wall without using dash. Once you reach the wall, perform a full jump (with no spin) this will pull Phantoon to the top of the screen where your X-factor will connect with all four shots. From there you will want to shoot 2 more missiles into Phantoons eye when it opens next, wait a moment, fire two more missiles, and then immediately a super missile. That will finish off Phantoon. If you do not have a super missile to finish the fight, simply repeat the pattern for round 1 and do a double x-factor instead.

== Phantoon Third ==

=== Reverse Boss Order ===

Assuming you obtained [[Plasma Beam]] and thus have charged Ice/Wave/Plasma at your disposal, Phantoon will only require seven Missiles and two charge shots to defeat. You can strike Phantoon with three Missiles and a charge shot in the first round followed by four Missiles and a charge shot in the second round, or visa versa.

== Phantoon Fourth ==

=== GT Classic ===

Having the items from [[Golden Torizo Code|GT Code]] allows for the [[X-Plasma]] exploit to be performed by activating X-Ray Scope multiple times as a charged Ice/Wave/Plasma shot passes through Phantoon during an opening.

Since charged Ice/Wave/Plasma deals 900 damage, you can slay Phantoon in this manner with only one charge shot with proper X-Ray Scope activations.

Phantoon needs to be struck by a source other than the charge shot ''before'' attempting this exploit, otherwise he will simply disappear once struck without allowing the exploit to occur. Try using Missiles when he opens (a well-timed Missile can consume all of the flames when they spawn, and a second will strike Phantoon) so he will start to fly around, then perform the exploit. Be careful not to accidentally strike him with more than two Missiles in this manner, otherwise he will disappear.

Draygon

2022-09-11T00:13:53Z

Amh: /* Turret */

{{Boss info
|title=Draygon
|image=Draygon.gif
|location=[[Draygon's Room]], [[Maridia]]
|health=6000
}}

Most top Super Metroid runners would agree that Draygon is overall the toughest fight to execute completely properly, especially in runs. Any missed timing during the fight can lead to disaster. Do not become discouraged if your ability to execute the fight well feels semi-consistent at best. Simply keep practicing and learning.

= General Information =

Draygon has 6000 hit points.

Draygon's core is vulnerable to [[Missile|Missiles]], [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]], [[Charge Beam|charged shots]], and [[Charge Beam Combos|special beam attacks]].

Draygon is vulnerable to [[shinespark]], [[Pseudo Screw Attack|pseudo-Screw]], and electricity.

Draygon will always begin the fight by swooping from the left to the right.

Draygon will either swoop again or spray mucus after a swoop cycle.

Draygon will never do two mucus cycles back-to-back.

Any part of Draygon's body will deal 40 / 80 / 160 damage to [[Gravity Suit]] / [[Varia Suit]] / [[Power Suit]] Samus, respectively.

Draygon's turrets will deal 32 / 64 / 128 damage with their shots, 4 / 8 / 16 damage when their electricity is touched by Samus's body, and will drain 1 energy per 4 frames / 1 energy per 2 frames / 1 energy per frame when their electricity is touched by Samus's [[Grapple Beam]], to Gravity Suit / Varia Suit / Power Suit Samus, respectively.

= Interactions =

== Swoop ==

Draygon's swoops can be completely avoided by staying morphed on the ground in one location.

As Draygon's health lowers, the speed of her swoops will increase.

Draygon will appear to swoop much faster (roughly two seconds faster) after a left <- right mucus cycle than visa versa.

Draygon's swoops can be taken advantage of by firing into her core as she swings down, then morphing afterward to avoid the swoop, and repeating this process until the swooping ceases. Draygon will be more prone to taking damage in this manner earlier into the fight as Draygon's swooping speed will not be as high.

== Mucus ==

Draygon will release mucus when she becomes visible during this cycle, moving somewhat slowly across the screen while bobbing slightly up and down. This means you will want to be as close to Draygon as possible during the beginning of this cycle so that the mucus spray ends as early as possible.

Draygon can give indications of her performing a mucus cycle after a swoop. She will take longer to appear on-screen compared to a swoop, and will make a noise every time she produces a mucus particle.

Draygon's mucus cycles will last the same amount of time regardless of her health.

Draygon's mucus [[Enemies#Bosses|will drop items]] when destroyed by beams, Missiles, or Super Missiles.

[[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]] will destroy all mucus particles within the explosion; however, they will not drop items when destroyed in this manner.

If you are afflicted by a mucus particle, you can remove it with a pseudo-Screw, [[Screw Attack]], [[Blue Suit Glitch|blue suit]], or shinespark. Draygon will immediately fly directly upwards if this occurs. Alternatively, such as situations where you cannot charge a pseudo-Screw in time, you can try [[damage boosting]] off of an exposed turret and/or walljumping away from Draygon until the mucus particle fades.

Draygon's mucus particles will linger for a short period of frames after they have been shot - an indication of this is if you shoot a particle and immediately run into its location, you should appear to have taken a hit. This does not cause damage to Samus, however.

== Grab ==

Draygon will move towards you and attempt to grab you when afflicted by a mucus particle. If the particle disappears, Draygon will fly directly upwards, and then swoop from the left.

Draygon moves upward in a spiral that will become more violent as the upwards movement progresses and will randomly strike Samus with her tail. Mashing on the directional pad will eventually free Samus from the grab, after 60 directional pad inputs have occurred. At the end of the spiral, Draygon will strike Samus multiple times before freeing her, so it is important to force yourself free before this occurs.

Draygon will not always attempt to grab you if you become afflicted by a mucus particle. Sometimes, Draygon will not attempt to grab you if you become afflicted right at the end of Draygon's mucus spray.

If Draygon grabs onto you, you can use the Grapple Beam on an exposed turret to damage Draygon. This is the second fastest method to killing Draygon (third if you include [[GT Classic]]'s method). Electricity will deal 256 damage to Draygon in a 16-8-8-8 pattern, meaning that in a series of four, the first 256 damage will happen after 16 frames of conductivity, and the remaining three will happen after 8 frames of conductivity. If Draygon is at full health, it will take 238 frames (3.97 seconds) for Draygon to be defeated in this manner. It is easier to grab onto the exposed turrets on the left side with Grapple Beam. If Draygon has returned to the center of the room with Samus and has begun spinning around, it is not possible to grab onto the lower right exposed turret, and the upper right exposed turret can be quite difficult to grab onto, even if you aim at it from above by angling down.

== Death ==

Draygon's corpse can still act as a source of damage for a short period of time after her demise, and this short period can be reset depending on how Samus interacts with Draygon's corpse.

Draygon's corpse must float to the horizontal center of the room before the death animation can proceed. Finishing the fight while Draygon is closer to the center of the room can save time as seen below:

{{#ev:youtube|zMpNVWTZc8U}}

If Draygon dies while considered off-screen on the left side, this will cause Draygon to, instead of sinking back into the center of the sand, move across the entire out of bounds area until she has looped back to the area. She will continue moving left as a corpse until she has looped back to the right, then sink into the sand as she should. Because of how enormous of an area the out of bounds is, this process takes approximately 18 minutes and 10 seconds.

This video shows the wait for Draygon to return in full:

{{#ev:youtube|GpST4TpXweM}}

== Turret ==

Draygon's turrets have 300 health each and can only be destroyed by Missiles or Super Missiles.

Every 64 frames, the turret firing routine will randomly select one of the four turrets to charge and fire a shot. Since one of the turrets is inactive and cannot shoot, 25% of the time no turret will shoot. As more turrets are destroyed, those too will be considered inactive and unable to shoot, thus increasing the number of 64 frames intervals where no shots are fired.

The turrets will fire much less often during mucus cycles.

A turret will determine, based on Samus's current position on the frame it begins charging a shot, where to aim the shot. In other words, the turrets will attempt to anticipate Samus's movement and fire accordingly.

= Categories =

== Any% (Beginner) ==

Consider retrieving extra Super Missiles before reaching Botwoon. Although [[Any%]] will always acquire the [[List_of_Super_Missiles#Wrecked_Ship_1|Wrecked Ship (Left) Super Missile pack]], you can also acquire the [[List_of_Super_Missiles#Wrecked_Ship_2|pack to the right of that location]], as well as the "[[List_of_Super_Missiles#Maridia_1|Crab Supers]]" stowed away to the left of the [[Mt. Everest|Maridian mountain]] (a.k.a. "Mount Doom") that are accessed through a hidden morph tunnel, or the [[List_of_Super_Missiles#Maridia_2|pack in the upper right corner of]] [[Aqueduct]]. If you only want one or two of these packs, the Maridia packs are similar in speed to each other, and both are faster to obtain than the Wrecked Ship (Right) pack; however, acquiring the Aqueduct pack by itself would involve a tight jump over the nearby Missile pack, assuming you did not want to obtain it.

After Botwoon, you can then fill up on Super Missiles from the fish ([[Zoa]]) on the right side of the [[Botwoon Energy Tank Room]].

Enter Draygon's room, and use Missiles to destroy the three turrets. Make sure all of your beams are enabled ([[Charge Beam|Charge]], [[Ice Beam|Ice]], [[Wave Beam|Wave]], and [[Spazer]] if obtained). Generate a charge with the beam and hold angle up while crouched in the center of the room, facing left. When Draygon swoops, fire the charge shot into her core, immediately morph, unmorph after Draygon passes by, charge the beam up again, and face right while crouched and holding angle up. Repeat this process alternating between directions until a mucus cycle. As explained previously, there will be both a visual and auditory indicator for the mucus cycle. Lay a Power Bomb near Draygon, then retreat a short distance. After the Power Bomb clears away the mucus, you can freely deposit your ballistics (primarily Super Missiles) into Draygon's core.

If you do not wish to Power Bomb the mucus, or have ran out of Power Bombs, you can also farm the mucus for drops (including Power Bombs). Have Draygon appear on-screen to begin the mucus cycle, then run to the opposite corner and begin firing uncharged beam shots at Draygon's direction. Performing short hops inbetween shots should provide additional clearance. Once mucus has been cleared, you should have a chance to get in a few Missiles or Super Missiles before needing to roll under Draygon.

If your health becomes low, you can always morph on top of the sand to avoid swoops and then farm or roll away from mucus.

== Any% (Intermediate) ==

A shinespark opener without the X-Factor used in the optimal strategy can still do 2250 damage. After this, you can go to the side of Draygon's room that she will appear from, and if you hear the mucus cycle start, you can run to the opposite corner. If you're starting to incorporate other shinesparks into the fight, you can charge one at this time. If you fail to charge the spark, or choose not to, then you can shoot the mucus. Since you started the mucus as early as possible during the cycle, this will give you much more time to fire off ordnance after she stops firing mucus. You can also open the damage with a charge shot, jumping over the last of the mucus.

{{#ev:youtube|7kS36bJJLOM}}

If you spark through Draygon's head from left to right during a right-to-left mucus cycle, you can damage boost off of the bottom right turret to a nice position to fire off missiles upward as you move with her.

If you have Ice/Wave/Spazer equipped and land the shot at the start of the goo phase, or if you have Super Missiles still available, it's possible to kill Draygon during this ballistic phase. Given that Blue Suit only saves a few seconds in Any% KPDR, this might be preferable for some runners compared with waiting to kill Draygon with a spark on a later phase, especially with the health saved in the process.

{{#ev:youtube|kM6gws7VC5M}}

It's also possible to kill Draygon with three shinesparks and no other damage, but with the ideal Draygon patterns it's only faster if you're able to do two shinesparks in the goo phase, which is very difficult.

== Any% (Optimal) ==

One way to perform the [https://archive.org/download/DeanydBosses/DraygonAny.mp4 optimal opener] for the Draygon fight is the following:

* With Power Bombs selected, begin moving forward to [[Short Charge|shortcharge]] a shinespark once the Evirs reach this location: [[File:Drayopener1_v2.png]]

* Begin charging the beam once Samus reaches this location (on top of the claw): [[File:Drayopener2.png]]

* After charging the shinespark (once it is possible to do so), have Samus be around this position as the [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Wave_Shield|X-Factor]] is produced: [[File:Drayopener3.png]]

* Once the X-Factor crosses through Samus, perform a medium [[spinjump]] to the right

* Activate the shinespark, and after a short wait (around a quarter of a second), shinespark towards the left

When executed properly, the opener should deal around 3000 damage to Draygon, with the maximum normally being 3450 as shown by the example video. [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/27381557 A few runners (video by StaticNine) have hit for 3600], [https://youtu.be/rwBokkdWL7Y?t=360 ShinyZeni has a setup that will do this much damage optimally consistently]

There are a number of ways to perform the actions above with different visual, or even auditory, cues. If you happen to find something that works better for you, use it!

Afterward, two shinesparks should finish Draygon off. Ideally, you would be given a mucus cycle right after the initial swoop, so that you can charge the first of the two shinesparks right before Draygon floats on-screen, and charge the second right after Draygon is done spraying mucus, leaving just enough time to jump and activate it in front of Draygon. This is what is sometimes referred to as "two with blue" (explained in Mackemagi's tutorial at the bottom of the page), which means Draygon is defeated in only two rounds total (one swoop, one mucus).

Draygon's body is made of four distinct hitboxes. An optimal shinespark will hit both the top and upper-middle hitboxes to maximize the number of frames that Samus is passing through Draygon.

[[File:Draygon_Hitboxes.png]]

A potentially faster alternative to performing three shinesparks is to perform two shinesparks and utilize ballistics (primarily Super Missiles) instead of performing a third shinespark. It has the potential to conserve energy at the expense of ammunition, and can guarantee at least a three round kill independent of patterns provided.

{{#ev:youtube|6dxlshQM5vo}}

Finishing Draygon while in an active shinespark can gift Samus with a blue suit that can be carried to and used at the [[Colosseum]] to save substantial time in Any% PRKD, or a few seconds in Any% KPDR. [[Blue Suit Glitch#Draygon|Read more about this here]].

Attempting to finish off Draygon with a shinespark comes with a risk from Draygon's "[http://chain.spazer.link/ chain damage]" effect. This occurs when Samus dies while inside the hitbox of Draygon('s corpse) with blue suit - Draygon will continue dealing damage to Samus until she has exited her hitbox due to the blue suit, which is worsened by blue suit causing Samus to have a much lower invulnerability period than normal. Due to this, it is risky to attempt to shinespark Draygon to finish her off when under a tank of energy and/or in the back of her head, as Draygon will then move backwards into a Samus that was attempting to move forward through Draygon, typically producing a nasty result. Letting go of the dpad can help avoid Samus being damage boosted further inside Draygon's hitbox, while aiming down can [[Hitbox Manipulation|compress Samus' hitbox]], sometimes causing fewer rounds of chain damage to occur.

Because Blue Suit requires the Dash value to be 0, you can avoid chain damage by killing Draygon with a shinespark after dashing, with no turnaround. This means no Blue Suit to get across [[Colosseum]], but it does at least allow you to finish the fight quickly and survive.

If you fail to gain blue suit after Draygon dies, you can attempt a possible, but rather difficult to execute, backup option known as the "[[Yellow Suit Glitch#Spikes|spikesuit]]." Runners will sometimes choose to turn their Blue Suit into a Spikesuit in order to grab Draygon's drops with minimal time loss, but this carries the risk of losing the Blue Suit if they hit the "bad frame" when attempting it.

This information also applies to the 100% categories.

For [[Any% PRKD]], because of the time save from skipping [[Space Jump]], as well as the time save from skipping Draygon's drops, you want to be more conscious of your energy so that you survive the fight with over 135 energy, along with a blue suit. Having less than 135 energy will cause the shinespark from the blue suit to stop at an earlier point in its flight back across the Colosseum. In the event you have too low of health to reasonably use the blue suit, you will want to acquire Draygon's drops before performing a [[Gravity Jump]] to escape Draygon's chamber. Otherwise, you will want to perform an infinite bomb jump as soon as Draygon perishes to reach the upper door as it unlocks, as it is a bit faster than gravitation jumping due to pausing not being required. If your health is close to critically low, then assuming you have enough time to do so, it may be wise to damage yourself against the electricity of Draygon's turrets to bring your health into the critical amount (below 30) such that a "health bomb" is forced for Draygon's drops.

=== Raindance ===

An alternate setup for the X-factor starts on the left side, and uses visual cues to time the shot well before you short-charge. Read the description of the video for an explanation of the cues.

{{#ev:youtube|tcH3yLqsBLE}}

== 14% Ice ==

The optimal opener to use against Draygon is to wait on the edge of the left ledge (next to the Space Jump door), then generate an [[Ice Shield]] and morph. Once the first Ice particle connects with Draygon's core, hold right to roll off the ledge, and the remaining particles should connect with Draygon's core without you taking damage from the swoop. You can continue using Ice Shield throughout the fight after mucus cycles.

An efficient way to punish swoops is by using a pseudo-Screw. 200 damage is significant compared to the 90 damage from charged Ice Beam that will, as the fight progresses, be harder to incorporate. Pseudo-Screws will allow you to conserve your Missiles and Super Missiles for the ends of mucus cycles, where Draygon will be moving slowly without protection. Pseudo-Screws consume 40 energy per application, but your energy is mostly free to expend during the fight, as you should receive it back either from Draygon's drops, the Zebbos that spawn at the [[Red Fish Room|Red Brinstar <-> Maridia connector area]], or the [[Landing Site|Gunship]]. You shouldn't need much energy to survive the trek back to Crateria after the fight.

Try to keep track of how much damage you have inflicted to Draygon over the course of the fight so you will know when you can potentially finish her off at the end of a mucus cycle with the remainder of your ammo, rather than allow her to perform more swoops.

You have the option to leave a turret or multiple turrets up during the fight to give yourself more ammunition to work with, but it is obviously not recommended for inexperienced players to do so.

== 14% Speed ==

Just like Any%, the shinespark is your strongest weapon. Due to lacking Wave Beam, your opener should simply be a shinespark. Three well-placed shinesparks can slay Draygon; however, it will be more difficult than in Any% to execute the shinesparks due to lacking [[Hi-Jump Boots]]. It is recommended that you hold angle down before jumping into the air to shinespark so that you have more height than if you ran and spinjumped before shinesparking - the Speed Booster by itself will substantially reduce the height of your running jumps. Angle down can also prevent accidental early shinespark activations as a shinespark cannot activate while angle down is being held.

Super Missiles are the next best weapon to use against Draygon, especially if you cannot get a shinespark off for whatever reason.

Just like Any%, you should be attempting to gain blue suit when the fight ends, and can attempt the "spikesuit" backup in case one is not gained.

== Reverse Boss Order ==

You will want to be at a low energy amount before entering Draygon's chamber since you will be performing a [[Crystal Flash]] mid-fight. Most people connect to a turret using Grapple Beam to drain away some health, then have Draygon strike them once to reduce their health to the appropriate amount.

You can open the fight with a handful of Missiles and/or Super Missiles if you so desire.

You will want to preemptively place a Power Bomb down (for Crystal Flash) before Draygon begins a mucus cycle. You may need to react quickly to not hearing a mucus cycle being performed so that you do not accidentally Crystal Flash during a swoop.

Draygon interrupting a Crystal Flash by grabbing onto Samus will gift Samus with a [[Yellow Suit Glitch|shinespark suit]]. After this occurs, break free of Draygon.

Wait on Draygon to perform another mucus cycle. Right before Draygon would grab onto Samus, activate the shinespark suit. If executed properly, Samus should now have a blue suit due to Draygon interrupting the shinespark with another grab. From here, wait until Draygon swings into the appropriate position, then activate the Grapple Beam to latch onto a turret and electrocute Draygon.

Afterward, you may collect Draygon's drops or ignore them, then acquire Space Jump. Once back inside Draygon's chamber, you will want to perform infinite grapple jumps off the lower right turret to return to the door above. It should only take three to gain enough height with which to reach the ledge. Use the shinespark from the blue suit to escape Draygon's entry chamber. The second block on the pipe floor provides a great visual cue for doing so.

If you are having difficulty performing the infinite grapple jumps necessary for escaping, you may find it worthwhile to maintain enough ammo to be able to perform a Crystal Flash to regain health so you can continue attempting the infinite grapple jumps.

Alternate strategies to the Draygon fight that involve having shinespark suit after Draygon perishes instead of blue suit will need to be careful not to accidentally activate the shinespark suit during the infinite grapple jumps.

Attempting to kill Draygon with the shinespark suit to generate a blue suit is extremely risky due to chain damage in this category, but is technically an option.

== GT Classic ==

Having the items from [[Golden Torizo Code|GT Code]] allows for the [[X-Plasma]] exploit to be performed by activating X-Ray Scope multiple times as a charged Ice/Wave/Plasma shot passes through Draygon's core.

Since charged Ice/Wave/Plasma deals 900 damage, you can slay Draygon in this manner with only one charge shot with proper X-Ray Scope activations.
