Record Progression

2026-01-22T21:39:01Z

ChTPwner: Twin Galaxy ruleset clarifed and some formatting

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.

===Twin Galaxies===
Twin Galaxies maintained its own leaderboard, based on its own ruleset, which is closer to the modern NMG ruleset: one single segment, with only a limited set of glitches allowed.
Twin Galaxies had limited legitimacy in many speedrunning communities, in part because of their overly strict rulesets, but since they were used by the Guinness Book of Records, they might have had some legitimacy towards a broader audience.

A VHS recording was required for these runs to be validated, but no known video remains. Only console runs were allowed.

These runs are mentioned here as historical records, but can not really be considered World Records, since faster runs were documented on SDA (albeit in multiple segments).

===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.

All of the runs listed below were confirmed to have been 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

2026-01-22T21:22:38Z

ChTPwner: Adding a Twin Galaxy dedicated table in the 100% all items category for historical purposes.

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.

===Twin Galaxies===
Twin Galaxies maintained it's own leaderboard, based on it's own ruleset, which is closer to the modern NMG ruleset: one single segment, with only a limited set of glitches allowed.
Twin Galaxies had limited legitimacy in many speedrunning communities, in part because of their overly strict rulesets, but since they were used by the Guiness Book of Records they might have had some legitimacy towards a broader audience.

A VHS recording was required for these runs to be validated, but no known video remains.

These runs are mentioned here as historical records, but can not really be considered World Records since faster runs were documented on SDA.

===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.

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 85 seconds 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]].

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.

Phantoon

2023-04-14T11:23:33Z

ChTPwner: DB X's Phantoon X Factor video has been removed from youtube.

{{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%.

The image below shows the probability of a given pattern in a given round, the position where Phantoon will open his eye, and the position(s) that will give the best chance of destroying all of the flames with one shot.

[[File:Phantoon-patterns.png|thumb|none|600px|alt=Probability of each Phantoon pattern by round, with positions of eye opening and where to stand to shoot the flames|Phantoon Pattern Probabilities by Round]]

== 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.

Emulators

ChTPwner: Removing link to higan.dev, seems to be down, and wrong certificate.

All Emulators officially released by Nintendo (such as Wii VC, WiiU VC, 3DS VC, SNES Classic, and Switch) are acceptable for runs. Other emulators generally accepted by SpeedRunsLive are also accepted for runs here. Commonly recommended emulators are '''RetroArch''' (with bsnes or Snes9x core), '''bsnes''', '''Higan''', '''Snes9x'''. Older versions of Snes9x (v1.43 or older) as well as all versions of ZSNES are banned. These emulators do not properly emulate the game for speedrunning standards. Keyboard is allowed, but should have a setting enabled to prevent left+right (see below).

Emulator functions that are not available to console players using a standard controller are banned from use during runs. This includes but is not limited to: savestates, pressing two opposite direction inputs at the same time (left+right), turbo, fast forward/rewind, run ahead, and RAM watch. Auto-splitters that use RAM watch are generally accepted but should not give any advantage to the runner. See [[Leaderboard Submission Rules]] for more information.

The below table has a comparison of various common emulators; a more comprehensive list can be found [https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Super_Nintendo_emulators here].

* It also does not emulate lag accurately, making for unfair comparisons to runs performed on console
* Please don't use it, seriously. Even for casual gaming.
