The first time through, you can [[Quick Drop]] the bomb blocks as they break, then [[downback]] through the shot blocks as you shoot them out. A small spinjump will allow you to get through the next set of ledges without bonking. If you're at the left edge of the glowing background pillar, that will allow you to avoid bonking any of the Rippers on your way down. A diagonal shot between the second and third Ripper will hit the door.

{{#ev:youtube|ez8bG8etjFs}}

Once you drop Early Ice from your route, you won't be able to freeze the Rippers to stand on them, but instead you can use [[Hi-Jump Boots]], and then [[walljump]] off of the lip of the ledge.

{{#ev:youtube|v3Mbl9wV2FU}}

For the [[Hero Shot]] to break the top block, you can just do a single jump to follow it up, as opposed to without Hi-Jump which requires multiple quick walljumps.

{{#ev:youtube|BbUQHvfTekQ}}

A tutorial for that strat:

{{#ev:youtube|ZMOeW6K9IUM}}

The [[downgrab]] strat is the fastest way up.

{{#ev:youtube|KIGpUWk79TQ}}

If you are using Early Ice, this is one possible way to get up:

{{#ev:youtube|nJOsacB556Q}}

= Any% PRKD =

The downgrab strat requires Hi-Jump Boots, so it is not possible in this category. This video shows the fastest RTA-viable climb at the start of the game:

{{#ev:youtube|qXMYezKxjN4}}

You can get past the third ripper without waiting, but it requires incredibly tight walljumps, and isn't considered RTA-viable:

{{#ev:youtube|FnFHuJgxxHA}}

This is a more easier beginner friendly strat to go up red tower.

{{#ev:youtube|aansp2Pm6aw}}

If you can't do the [[Hero Shot]] strat, you could take it in two passes, shooting out the block, falling down, and climbing back up before the block respawns:

{{#ev:youtube|7ShKiYd7b8c}}

= Randomizer =

The lower walljump shown in the KPDR section is in the logic of most randomizers, so you will be expected to be able to go back up once you have Hi-Jump, Ice Beam, or Morph Ball and Bombs.

For any Phantoon-first category, you must cross the moat either with a [[Continuous Wall Jump]], or through the use of a Horizontal [[Bomb Jump]].

Our excellent modders have also added functionality to the practice rom to help you master the CWJ:

{{#ev:youtube|dVXZWGnsyO4}}

== Any% KPDR ==

If you're doing the two-spark method, as opposed to [[Ocean Fly]], you can [[Stop on a Dime]] to nudge your way back towards the ledge, then do a 1-tap or 2-tap through the door transition to charge the next spark.

{{#ev:youtube|JltWaUp4p9E}}

Most runners will instead run through the door, then do a tighter 2-tap entirely within [[West Ocean]].

If you have full run speed coming back across the Moat after getting Gravity, you can [[mockball]] into [[Crateria Kihunter Room]], called the "Impulse Mockball", presumably named after the runner 1mpuls3. While this strat originally was designed as a mockball, it's optimal as a [[Morphball bounce|bounceball]], because that will [[Aligning Doors|fix the door]].

{{#ev:youtube|6acY-lsxi6w}}

If you bonk the door on the way back, it will be faster to go back and build up run speed rather than walljumping over or bombing under the missile pillar.

{{#ev:youtube|fhGJ4fooMow}}

== 100% ==

If you're doing the Early Grapple route, it's faster to just Grapple across the Moat instead of sparking.

== Randomizer ==

If you have Spring Ball, you can mid-air morph, bounce off of the missile platform, and land on the other side. It is technically possible to do this with [[Hi-Jump Boots]], but significantly harder, so you'll likely want to turn them off before attempting this.

{{#ev:youtube|ovq5MIX5pQ0}}

With a [[Gravity Jump]] you can also reach the far side.

{{#ev:youtube|IsQtt3PmMlg}}

If you fall on the far side of the missile platform without Gravity Suit, or Morph Ball and bombs, you will be softlocked.

14% Iceboost

2021-05-30T17:55:03Z

Chish: removing a link to a YouTube video that has since been made private. :(

[[Category:Full Category]]{{Category
|catname=14% iceboost
|cattype=Full Category
|rtwr=1:34:45
|gtwr=1:12
|wrholder=Robitalion
|wrlink=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/334218990
|wrtext=Twitch Highlight

|percentage=14%
|items=[[Ice Beam]],[[Speed Booster]]
|minibosses=[[Bomb Torizo]], [[Botwoon]]
|bossorder=KDRP
}}

14% Iceboost is one of the thirteen in-bounds low% categories that are currently humanly possible. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using the Ice Beam and Speed Booster for level progression.

This category is possible due to [[Blue Suit Glitch#Without X-ray|a discovery by EternisedDragon]] that allows [[Blue Suit Glitch|blue suit]] to be generated by incorporating a [[Bomb|bomb]] explosion with a [[shinespark]] as [[Varia Suit]] is acquired.

As a result of the above, and the requirement to carry this blue suit all the way to [[Draygon]] (to escape [[Draygon's Eye Door Room|her entry chamber]] post-defeat) with Ice Beam as the only assistance provided in traversing Maridia, this is possibly the most difficult 14% humanly-possible category to complete, and perhaps only second in difficulty to [[12%]].

==Prerequisites==
To finish this run, you need to know how to:
*[[Mockball]]
*Infinite [[Bomb Jump|bomb jump]]
*[[14%#Mochtroid Clip|Mochtroid clip]]
*[[14%#Enemy Climbing|Climb enemies]]
*[[Lava Dive Room|Lava dive]] without [[Gravity Suit]] or [[Hi-Jump Boots]]
*[[Mother Brain Room#Zebetite Glitch|Zebetite skip]]

==Collected Items==
[[Image:morphball.png]] [[Image:bombs.png]] [[Image:charge.png]] [[Image:ice.png]] [[Image:speedbooster.png]] [[Image:varia.png]] [[Image:etank.png]] [[Image:etank.png]] [[Image:etank.png]] [[Image:missiles.png]] [[Image:supermissiles.png]] [[Image:supermissiles.png]] [[Image:supermissiles.png]] [[Image:powerbomb.png]]
*[[Morphing Ball]]
*Bombs
*[[Charge Beam]] (for bosses)
*Ice Beam (for Zebetite skip, [[Mochtroid]] clip, and enemy climbing)
*Speed Booster (for generating a blue suit to escape Draygon's entry chamber)
*Varia Suit (to survive [[Mother_Brain#MB2|MB2's]] rainbow beam)
*3 [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]] ([[List of Energy Tanks#Crateria 1|Terminator]], [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 1|Hi-Jump Boots]], and [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 1|Kraid]]) (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
*1 [[Missile]] Pack ([[List of Missiles#Brinstar 1|Awakening]]) (to open red doors and defeat [[Mother_Brain#MB1|MB1]])
*3 [[Super Missile]] Packs ([[List of Super Missiles#Brinstar 2|Early]], [[List of Super Missiles#Brinstar_1|Spore Spawn]], and [[List of Super Missiles#Maridia_1|Crab]]) (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)

Since it can be difficult to survive the hell run to Speed Booster (from the [[Bat Cave|Gamet well]] and back) without pausing and with only two Energy Tanks, the [[List of Reserve Tanks#Brinstar 1|Brinstar Reserve Tank]] can replace one of the Energy Tanks listed above for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHaEljO16js partial pause abuse]. It can also potentially be utilized similarly in other areas. Note that such utilization can cause a substantial loss of real time in a speedrun, but could save game time as game time would cease not only during pause screens, but would also cease for any frame that Samus is at 00 energy, including those during pause fade-outs.

Alternatively, the player can instead choose to acquire a third Energy Tank before the Speed Booster hell run, such as the [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|one in the ceiling of blue Brinstar]].

As is the case in 14% xIce, regarding lava dive - as the player has neither Gravity Suit (meaning gravitation jump is not an option) nor [[Hi-Jump Boots]] (meaning the "GT Code" category method of simply walljumping up is not an option), they must use either the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKEtohSVGGU EternisedDragon method] or the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWhcWNtLbNU&t=55m sniqwc3 method] for completing the dive. Note that just like [[RBO|Reverse Boss Order]], Speed Booster should be disabled during this, otherwise it will hinder horizontal momentum, making it much more difficult to execute properly and leaving Samus with less energy.

R-Mode

2021-05-14T12:55:53Z

Chish: better information -- thank you bobbob!

R-Mode is used to clip in [[Botwoon Hallway]] in esoteric categories such as [[14% xChargeless]], [[14% xSpeed]], and [[14% xAmmo]].

== Entering R-Mode ==

To enter R-Mode, you need the following:
* At least 1 [[Reserve Tank]] with at least 1 energy in it, set to Auto
* [[X-Ray Scope]]
* An enemy to deal damage to you after you start a door transition
* low enough energy such that taking damage from the enemy will trigger your reserves

First, be sure to have X-Ray Scope selected. Samus must take damage from the enemy after a door transition begins. Hold run after the transition starts so that the X-ray Scope activates as soon as possible upon entering the new room. You want the following things to happen in this specific order:

1) X-ray Scope activates on first possible frame and reserves automatically deploy

2) reserves finish deploying

3) release the run button

It is advantageous (from a speed perspective) for you to perform this trick with only a little bit of energy in reserve, as this causes reserves to finish deploying sooner. Note that if you let go of run with precise timing, <'''TODO''': mention how the timing is different for G-mode> you will enter [[G-Mode]] instead. If you enter G-mode instead of R-mode for the purposes of passing through [[Botwoon Hallway]], the door shell will remain open and you will fall back into Aqueduct, ruining your attempt.

== Properties of R-Mode ==

* The screen will be dimmed.
* If reserves are triggered while already in R-Mode (entering the mode empties your reserves so this requires putting energy into them again first), Samus will be forced into a standing pose. This can be used to perform the [[Botwoon Hallway]] clip.

[[Category:X-Ray Scope Glitches]]

X-Ray Scope

2021-04-22T02:22:53Z

Chish: note additional glitches

{{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].

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.

Chish: fix previous edit

'''X-Plasma''', also referred to by players as '''Microwave Beam''', is the combination of [[X-Ray Scope]] and [[Plasma Beam]]. This combination of items allows the player to exploit [[Phantoon]], [[Botwoon]], and [[Draygon]] to make short work of them. It is the trademark technique of [[GT Classic]] runs, as it is basically the only category where the player will have both items before encountering those three foes.

By activating X-Ray Scope as a [[Charge Beam|charged]] beam shot containing Plasma passes through the boss's vulnerable point, it will reset the boss's invulnerability, causing the beam to strike again. This can be repeated multiple times per charged shot, effectively allowing all of these bosses to be slain by one charged shot, and making it quite similar to the infamous "pause glitch" in the original Mega Man.

Phantoon in particular will require being struck by a source other than the charged shot first before the exploit is performed. If Phantoon is struck by the beam first upon opening, he will immediately shut, preventing the exploit. A [[Missile]] works well as an initial damage source.

This exploit can also be performed on the [[Metal Pirates Room|steel pirates of Lower Norfair]], but the window for doing so is extremely small.

This exploit can also be performed with [[Hyper Beam]] instead of Plasma Beam, because it shares the same penetration quality.

R-Mode

2021-04-22T01:18:34Z

Chish: not a stub anymore, although the article isn't finished yet either

R-Mode is used to clip in [[Botwoon Hallway]] in esoteric categories such as [[14% xChargeless]], [[14% xSpeed]], and [[14% xAmmo]].

== Entering R-Mode ==

To enter R-Mode, you need the following:
* At least 1 [[Reserve Tank]] with at least 1 energy in it, set to Auto
* [[X-Ray Scope]]
* An enemy to deal damage to you after you start a door transition
* low enough energy such that taking damage from the enemy will trigger your reserves

First, be sure to have X-Ray Scope selected. Samus must take damage from the enemy after a door transition begins. Hold run after the transition starts so that the X-ray Scope activates as soon as possible upon entering the new room. You want the following things to happen in this specific order:

1) X-ray Scope activates on first possible frame and reserves automatically deploy

2) reserves finish deploying

3) release the run button

4) Samus's knockback from the enemy ends

If knockback ends before reserves finish deploying, don't worry -- you'll still be in R-Mode as long as you keep run held until the reserves finish deploying. However, Samus will be stuck still in a standing position until another enemy collides with her. For this reason, it is advantageous (from a speed perspective) for you to perform this trick with only a little bit of energy in reserve, as this causes reserves to finish deploying sooner. You need to have about <'''TODO''': LEARN THIS NUMBER> energy or less in reserves in order for knockback to outlast reserves filling.

Note that if you let go of run with precise timing, you will enter [[G-Mode]] instead. '''TODO''': discuss consequences of accidentally triggering G-Mode instead of R-Mode while entering Botwoon Hallway specifically.

== Properties of R-Mode ==

* The screen will be dimmed.
* If reserves are triggered while already in R-Mode (entering the mode empties your reserves so this requires putting energy into them again first), Samus will be forced into a standing pose. This can be used to perform the [[Botwoon Hallway]] clip.

X-Ray Climb

2021-04-22T00:20:27Z

Chish: adding to new category

X-Ray Climbing is a technique that allows Samus to go [[Out of Bounds]]. It is mainly used while getting stuck inside of a door. Most categories that go Out of Bounds do so by means of X-Ray Climbing, such as [[Any% Glitched]] and [[RBMBO]].

{{#ev:youtube|kTZd2YybuSI}}

To perform X-Ray Climbing, make sure to pick-up the [[X-Ray Scope]]. Get stuck in a door, and crouch. Use the X-Ray Scope, face the other direction and immediately stop scoping. If done right, Samus should now be forced into a standing position which moves her up by 5 pixels.

Runners will need to be careful not to morph part way through the X-Ray Climb, which would result in a softlock. To avoid this, many runners will pause and turn off [[Morphing Ball]] to avoid this.

[[Item Randomizer]], certain [[Low%]] categories, as well as some [[RBO]] routes sometimes make use of inbounds X-Ray Climbing to get through [[The Precious Room]] after defeating Draygon due to the lack of [[Gravity Suit]].

{{#ev:youtube|0YQBAqf5ACI}}

If you're trying to see if you're high enough to jump out of the wall, do it from a crouch. If you're still fully embedded in the wall and you jump while standing, it will put you in a crouched pose that won't allow further X-Ray use.

Because of the properties of X-Ray Scope to change [[Out of Bounds]] blocks, non-optimal X-Ray Climbing that leaves X-Ray activated for seconds at a time can alter the layout of the Out of Bounds, causing standard routes or setups to have new blocks in their path.

== Door Stuck ==

There are 2 levels of being stuck in a door: Stuck and Deep Stuck.

A stationary spinjump and walljump check inside the door shell of a rightwards transition is enough to get Stuck inside of a door for X-Ray climbing most rooms. You'll need to do the walljump check low enough to avoid having the top of the doorframe put you in a forced-crouch pose, which would prevent the use of X-Ray.

However for leftward door transitions, or if the room geometry requires it (see the any% glitched X-Ray climb,) you need more backwards momentum during the transition. Taking enemy damage or performing a precise shinespark as the transition begins both are ways to get Deep Stuck in doors.

For a leftward door transition that you don't need to be Deep Stuck, you will need to do a stationary spinjump with dash speed, followed by a precise walljump check. Once the next room loads, hold down, and your momentum will carry you into the door as it closes. This is most notably used in [[12%]] and some older routes of [[Any% Glitched]] and [[Low% Glitched]] in order to X-Ray Climb in [[Mother Brain's Room]].

Reserve Tank

Chish: mention R-mode

{{Item info
|title=Reserve Tank
|image=Reserver.png
|location=[[List of Reserve Tanks]]
|effect=Gives reserve energy
}}

'''Reserve Tanks''' give Samus a pool of reserve energy. Each Reserve Tank increases this pool by 100 energy. Acquiring energy drops while at full main (or [[Energy Tank]]) energy will add energy to this pool.

Energy can be recovered from the Reserve Tanks either automatically when Samus's energy reaches zero, or manually from the Inventory Screen.

Although the automatic refill from Reserve Tanks will interrupt gameplay, certain objects such as particles from [[Charge Beam Combos]] are not interrupted by this pause (although they will not interact with objects until the Reserve Tank interruption is over), nor is the in-game timer.

Reserve Tanks can be manually [[Pause Abuse|abused with pausing]] to lengthen Samus's lifespan during perilous "hell runs", such as those performed in a [[RBO|Reverse Boss Order]] run.

{{#ev:youtube|gHaEljO16js}}

Manual reserve tank activation can also be useful in heated rooms due to heat damage still being applied during the reserve refill process. As a result, a full reserve tank will only give you about 75hp if it fills automatically while taking heat damage.

Damage will also accumulate while going down an elevator, but will not affect reserve health. As a result, many RBO runners will aim to take the Lower Norfair elevator while low on hp with the reserves set to automatic. Once they hit the bottom, the reserves will trigger, giving them enough time to set up for a Crystal Flash afterwards. The same is also true of getting grabbed by Ridley at the end of the fight, giving them time to pick up drops, then the E-tank.

The yellow boxes next to doors mean that when entering the room in which this box is from the corresponding door on the other side, it is theoretically possible to obtain R(eserve)-Mode in the room in which the yellow box is, at the place where this box is. The meaning of the red boxes is analogous, just for God-Mode and not just R-Mode.

G-Mode

2021-04-22T00:05:51Z

Chish: creating a new category and putting G-Mode in it

G-Mode, also known as Grey Mode or God Mode, is a trick that uses a combination of [[X-Ray Scope]] and a [[Reserve Tank]] in order to execute certain glitches.

== Description ==

From the text at [http://tasvideos.org/5833S.html TASVideos]:

''Discovered by EternisedDragon in 2015. Running out of energy during a door transition does not trigger the R-Tank's "Auto" feature before the next room is fully loaded. When the next room finishes loading, there is one frame of game play before the R-Tank activates.''

''This frame can be used to activate X-Ray, and although doing so would normally cause the less-useful "R-Mode", found many years ago by Kejardon, G-Mode can be achieved instead if the input used for activating X-Ray is released within a ~3 frame window, while the R-Tank finishes refilling Samus's energy.''

''This enables control over Samus, but leaves some properties of X-Ray active - for example, the game is unable to execute any PLMs, such as crumble blocks or screen scroll controllers (which is the reason the camera doesn't follow Samus during this mode), meaning activating too many PLMs will cause the queue to fill up and make most of them nonsolid. Thus, through G-Mode, Lower Norfair is easily accessible through [[Single Chamber|what is normally its exit]] by jumping through the nonsolid pillars and crumble blocks.''

''The mode is disabled whenever X-Ray is activated again, and since doors are also PLMs, they will not open while the mode is active (excluding the initial door, which stays open when the mode is first activated, allowing the mode to persist into the room you were originally in).''

This method of entering Lower Norfair is viable for humans, although it does have you entering Lower Norfair at extremely low health, with the closest convenient refill being the e-tank in [[Lower Norfair Fireflea Room]].

== Other applications ==

G-Mode can also be used to cause save stations to execute a different PLM than normal, including giving Samus items. Once Samus steps onto the Save Station, it starts cycling through through the available PLMs. Once G-Mode is disabled by activating X-Ray again, it executes the currently-selected PLM.

The primary application of this so far is to get [[Gravity Suit]] by disabling G-Mode on a specific frame after landing on the save station, in the [https://www.speedrun.com/super_metroid_category_extensions#RBO_glitched RBO Glitched] category.
