= 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 proven by Pinkus 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).

Phantoon's flame patterns during the first round are strongly correlated with his movement direction: if Phantoon moves left, he is unlikely to choose a "moderate 5" or "sluggish 7"; while if Phantoon moves right, he is unlikely to choose a "quick 3" or "varied 7" (less than 0.5% each):

Left:
Pattern | Chance
---------+--------
22222 | 0.833%
111 | 24.123%
3333333 | 0.921%
2124241 | 24.035%

Right:
Pattern | Chance
---------+--------
22222 | 24.254%
111 | 0.746%
3333333 | 24.079%
2124241 | 1.009%

Correlations can also be found between Phantoon's second-and-later-round movement patterns and flame patterns, but they are dependent on the previous rounds' movement and flame patterns.

== Eye Open ==

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

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%.

If Phantoon was hit with a charged plasma shot in the previous round, he will become vulnerable seven frames later than usual after opening his eye. This reduces his window of vulnerability: for a fast eye close you only get an 8 frame window to hit Phantoon rather than a usual 15. This occurs because the charged plasma shot gives Phantoon 16 iframes, but he disappears and becomes invulnerable after 9 frames. The game does not process iframes while Phantoon is invulnerable, so his 7 leftover iframes are preserved until the next time he opens his eye.

== 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.

[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 360 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 ==

There are multiple good strategies for fighting Phantoon second depending on skill level, category and future goals.

For beginners, starting with Ice/Wave/Spazer Charge shots is recommended. Adding in missiles can improve this approach to a 3 round fight.

Intermediate/Advanced players should decide between x-factors or missile doppler strategies to accomplish 2 round fights. X-Factors are only relevant to certain categories but are much easier to master than dopplers. Dopplers are applicable to every category but take much longer to become proficient with.

=== Any% KPDR (Ice/Wave/Spazer Charge Only) ===

Beginner strategy. 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 (Charge Plus Missiles) ===

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 (popTOON - X-Factor Plus Missiles) ===

With this strategy you do not need to know every eye open position that Phantoon has and is a strat for easy 2 round Phantoons once you get the hang of it. While it can certainly help to know them it is not explicitly necessary.
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.

[https://youtu.be/G7_vN68P6Fw?si=OLtzowm3gzSyrdPh Popplars' popTOON explanation]

=== Any% KPDR (X-Factor Only) ===

One optimal strategy for defeating Phantoon is to utilize the [[Charge_Beam_Combos#Wave_Shield|X-Factor]] to attempt to defeat Phantoon in only two on-screen rounds. This saves some time over popTOON and 2 round dopplers.

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 4 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.

== 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.

== 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]].

'''March 21, 2005'''

[[Arm pumping]] is discovered by [https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/465?CurrentPage=18&Highlight=25759#25759 michael flatley].

'''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%.

== 2010 ==

'''March 5, 2016'''

WildAnaconda [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/52631676 debuts a TAS] given to him by sniq which introduces the [[14% Chargeless]] category, and the [[Yellow Suit Glitch#Draygon *CF|underflow glitch]] that makes it possible.

'''June 4, 2016'''

sniq [http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=435098#435098 discovers] that firing a charged beam shot delays the shinespark timer by one frame each time.

'''February 8, 2019'''

BFrobber releases [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zRaT6j25jw this video], showing a 0-etank Lava Dive is possible. This method ended up being human-viable (though extremely difficult), allowing for [[Max% GT Code]] to use the optimal KRDP boss order.

== 2021 ==

'''July 27, 2021'''

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]].

== 2023 ==

'''May 12, 2023'''

stashiocat investigates why [[Mother Brain#MB1|MB1's]] turrets can snipe Samus's ammo without even coming close, a common run-ender. Stashio reveals the implications of PJBoy's comments on function $A0:996C. In that function, Samus projectiles and enemy projectiles collide with each other based on whether their center pixels are in the same 32px x 32px grid square. Implication being: projectile centers matter more than their hitboxes and collision can happen with the 2 centers as far separated as 31px apart (or even farther diagonally); Samus should stand forward into the next grid square to avoid a lot of long-distance turret snipes from behind.

Also, [[Phantoon]]'s eight simultaneous flames that spawn close together can be easy or difficult to destroy, depending if Phantoon is at the center of a 32x32 grid square (easy) or on the boundary of one (hard). And since [[Botwoon]]'s body, other than the head, is made of enemy projectiles, it can dud Samus's smaller sized weapons from a large apparent distance.

Record Progression

2023-02-03T21:57:50Z

Strotlog: IPRB

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.

===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.

== Conventional Randomizers ==
See also: [[Item Randomizer]] for general info.

[https://randommetroidsolver.pythonanywhere.com/randomizer VARIA Item and Area Randomizer by theonlydude and ouichegeante] 
Very Adaptive Randomizer of Items and Areas : creates seeds with customizable difficulty presets, accessible to all skill levels. Can randomize transitions between areas. The solver part estimates difficulty and optionally creates spoiler paths for all existing item randomizers. Can create "plandomizer"/"plando" ROMs too. Two optional features of VARIA that should not be confused with Door Randomizers:

* 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)

[[File:Q7xa3XWg.jpg|right|thumb|The required route for this category]]

==Clarifications==
From Ponk, given on Discord:
<blockquote>There has been a discussion about the rules and order in which to finish certain objectives. Basically the point of the discussion was that the rules enforce finishing objectives in the order given by the nintendo power guide. However this left an uncertainty about when the "Defeat X" goal is actually achieved and if its possible to finish the next objective (i.e. picking up an item) before the actual death flag of a boss is set but after dealing the "death blow" to said boss. After debating the intentions behind the run and the exact wording, the official decision on this issue is now that a boss being defeated is NOT the same as a boss being dead. For this matter it is explicitly allowed to pick up the Croc E-Tank before Crocs drops spawn (but after pushing him into the acid) and to pick up the GT-Supers before GTs drops spawn (but after he starts exploding).</blockquote>

== Unique Challenges ==

Although this route is the one recommended by Nintendo, it does present some sections of the run that make the collection of individual items more difficult than in the standard Any% KPDR or 100% routes.

In the standard 100% route, visiting [[Green Bubbles Missile Room]] is done on the way out of Lower Norfair, allowing the runner to easily use [[Space Jump]] to cross the top of [[Bubble Mountain]]. In this route, the runner has neither Space Jump or [[Grappling Beam]], so another way must be found. The fastest is to charge a shinespark in [[Speed Booster Hall]] and [[Bat Cave]], and then spark across. Other alternative strats, in order of speed, are [[Damage Boost|Damage Boosting]] across the gap with a [[Waver]], doing a delayed [[Walljump]] off of the wall below the door, and infinite [[Bomb Jumping]].

This route also requires collecting [[Spring Ball]] without [[Space Jump]], which makes either method of getting through the [[Pants Room]] (jumping through the grapple block, or the ice clip) more difficult.

While some 100% routes collect the Golden Torizo Supers before the fight starts, as seen in the rules clarification above this route needs to wait to make sure not to pick it up until after GT has been killed.

This video details several category-specific strats, due to required differences from the optimal 100% route:

Random Number Generator

2022-08-09T00:11:58Z

Strotlog: Add RNG loops section

Super Metroid's random number generator (often referred to as '''RNG''') is implemented as a simple [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator Pseudorandom number generator].

A new random 16-bit number is generated every frame of gameplay, and [[Drops|enemy drops]] and some enemy AIs generate further random numbers using the same method, intending that the same RNG value is not reused for multiple purposes on the same frame. Almost always, the random number generated is simply based on the previous random number that was generated. It's a mathematical formula with the previous result as its only input variable.

See C code below for the "formula". It's difficult to write in pure mathematical notation due to the carry bit.

''See also: [[RNG1]] - various RNG usage notes''

== RNG loops ==

Most RNG interactions are to fetch the next number. When this happens over and over, the RNG gets into its '''"main loop"''' where the numbers start repeating every so often: specifically, once the main loop is entered, only 2280 16-bit RNG values are possible under normal conditions.

The following manipulations overwrite the 'last generated RNG value' aka 'seed' at $05E5 with a new value that didn't come from the RNG itself. This effect either temporarily or permanently breaks the RNG out of the main loop.
* Enter a room with a [[beetom]] in it. Temporary new seed - leads back to main RNG loop.
* Enter a room with a [[sidehopper]] in it. Temporary new seed - leads back to main RNG loop.
* Enter a room with a [[polyp]] in it. This action sets a non-temporary new seed that would lead to a different RNG loop - but in vanilla SM, the new seed always gets changed by XBA RNG happening in the same room (see next point), so this manipulation is not effective.
* Process a frame in a [[Map of all XBA RNG rooms|room with XBA RNG]] - that is, acid or lava. Aside from memory corruption techniques, XBA RNG is the only known means of permanently breaking out of the vanilla RNG main loop. RNG becomes more random, and non-looping, while in the room. Then, after the player leaves the XBA RNG area, depending on the last XBA'ed seed, the RNG can enter main or non-main RNG loops.

The main RNG loop has some not-fully-random properties such as sometimes knocking 1-2% off the official PB drop rate of an enemy.

Some RNG loops smaller than the main loop are known to exist via XBA, which can more heavily skew the results of random processes in the game.

[[14% SuperChargeless]] page describes a way to intentionally change RNG loops.

== Phantoon's rare patterns ==

On 2nd round and onward, [[Phantoon]] selects his pattern side using the lowest bit of a newly generated random number, then selects his pattern speed (fast/mid/slow) using the lowest 3 bits of a second newly generated random number.

Due to the PRNG algorithm's often adding an odd number to the previous result, two numbers generated in a row have a 99% chance of having different even-oddness (getting even-then-odd or odd-then-even). There are two Phantoon pattern combinations that actually ''require'' rolling even-even and odd-odd, respectively, thus making them wildly unlikely, but still possible:

* Left mid = 16/2280 = 0.70%
* Right fast = 8/2280 = 0.35%

Note, the 8 "main loop" RNG values that can produce a right fast are not evenly distributed in time among the 2280 possibilities; so there is a 11-12 second window every 37-38 seconds where generating a right fast is completely impossible.

However, the PRNG is good enough that bits 0-2 are evenly distributed overall; thus a fast pattern in general still happens about 25% of the time, as appears to be Phantoon's design.

== C implementation ==

highaddition = secondmul + ((firstmul & 0xff00) >> 8) + 1;

carry = 1;
} else {
carry = 0;

// seed(0x0017); // beetom
// seed(0x0025); // sidehopper
seed(0x0061); // reset game

// there are other seed values that be brought on by lava/acid rooms, which can lead to a different loop of numbers.
// OTOH, beetom/sidehopper/reset all eventually lead to a loop of 2280 numbers ("main loop"), which may be larger than the uncommon loops.

== Getting started ==

The "Archive Download" at the Door Rando website contains only the source code at first glance, but the executables needed to randomize a rom are hidden within. The releases folder contains a couple more folders and a JSON file. The JSON file can be opened with any text editor and will reveal the hidden secrets.

Inside the two folders you'll find a file with a random name. These files are .rar archives in disguise. Rename the file so that it ends in ".rar" and extract it to find the executables. Version 0.1 (stable) is in the 0 folder. Version 0.3a (beta) is in the 1 folder.

[https://randommetroidsolver.pythonanywhere.com/randomizer VARIA Item and Area Randomizer by theonlydude and ouichegeante] (Very Adaptive Randomizer of Items and Areas : creates seeds with customizable difficulty presets, accessible to all skill levels. Can randomize transitions between areas. The solver part estimates difficulty and optionally creates spoiler paths for all existing item randomizers.) Can create "plandomizer"/"plando" ROMs too.

[https://itemrando.supermetroid.run/ Item Randomizer by total, foosda and Leodox] 
Adaptation of Dessyreqt's randomizer that features major/minor item pool separation and more difficulty settings (including Tournament and Full Randomization). Also removes many potential softlocks and makes some minor changes to gameplay.

[http://www.metroidconstruction.com/hack.php?id=357 Arcade by Lioran and total] Room randomizer that locks the door behind you when you enter. Seeds, goals, and difficulty are selected with the in-game menu and allow for endless randomization of rooms. Score is tracked in the HUD for completing rooms, defeating enemies, and finding secret achievements. Submit your high scores at https://arcade.supermetroid.run/

[https://dashrando.github.io/ DASH Randomizer by Kipp and Smiley] The DASH (Diversity and Selective Haste) Super Metroid Randomizer focuses on providing more options for runners to complete seeds by providing new functionality to Bombs, Spazer Beam, Gravity Suit, and Charge Beam. This randomizer seeks to open up Super Metroid even more by limiting the gating potential of certain items and item locations. No generating seeds in the browser, but by the same taken, can generate seeds offline. Adapted from total's item randomizer.

[https://sm.samus.link/information Multiworld Randomizer] Multiworld is an online cooperative game mode where multiple players play at the same time and items in one player's game can be found in one of the other players' games. By finding items for each other, you will eventually be able to all complete the game.

[https://github.com/Dessyreqt/smrandomizer Item Randomizer by Dessyreqt] 
Downloadable, old-school item randomizer with very few changes outside of moving items. Offers Casual, Speedrunner, and Masochist difficulties. Players are required to keep their wits about them to avoid predictable softlocks. No generating seeds in the browser, but by the same taken, can generate seeds offline.

[http://metroidconstruction.com/resource.php?id=102 Route Randomizer by Lioran ] 
Generates a path through random rooms in a logical order. Features many customization settings to control difficulty and amount of exploration required. Minor room edits to prevent softlocks and allow travel in multiple directions.

[https://web.archive.org/web/20210629141558/https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=smdoor Door Randomizer] Randomizes each door to create a highly randomized experience which may or may not be completable. Features options to customize how doors are shuffled, item randomization, and whether to allow backtracking. Check the [[Door Randomizer]] page for help getting started.

Record Progression

2021-09-25T17:36:45Z

Strotlog: /* Reverse Boss Order */ ShinyZeni WR 56:52

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 websites hosting the demo files for those runs are no longer available. 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.

Timing

2021-07-22T04:13:51Z

Strotlog: 60.098813897441 fps should round to "~60.10"

= Full Categories =

All full categories start on a "0:00" file. This can be set up by letting the intro sequence play until Samus becomes controllable in the Ceres Elevator Room, then resetting the console.

Timing for all full categories begins on the frame that the [[Missile]] pointer disappears upon confirming "Start Game."

[[File:Start_Game.png]]

Timing for all full categories ends on the first frame that Samus is facing forward on her Gunship before it departs the exploding Zebes.

[[File:End_Game.png]]

[[Retiming a run|See this page]] for instructions on getting the time between these two frames accurately.

= Partial Categories =

== Spore Spawn RTA ==

[[SSRTA|Spore Spawn RTA]] uses [http://smethack.f5.si/?SpeedRuns%2F%A5%CB%A5%B3%A5%CB%A5%B3%C0%B8%CA%FC%C1%F7RTA%B5%AD%CF%BF#vc6c6f33 the following timing]. Specifically, the start is the first frame that the map screen starts to fade out, and the end is the first frame that the Super Missile text box has fully disappeared.

== Crocomire RTA ==

[[Crocomire RTA]] uses a similar timing to the above, except the end timing is the frame that [[Crocomire]]'s drops spawn upon his defeat.

== Races ==

Timing for race categories typically begins on the same frame as full categories, and ends the moment the final or only goal is achieved. For example, if [http://www.speedrunslive.com/tools/supermetroid-bingo/ bingo] is being played, timing for a racer should end the moment they achieve their final bingo requirement.

If the final or only goal involves acquiring an item, timing should end the moment Samus makes contact with the item.

If the final or only goal involves entering a specific room, timing should not end until the moment control is returned to the player upon entering the room. (post-transition)

The above also applies to "map station" and "recharge station" goals - the station does not need to be accessed, only its room.

If the final or only goal involves "destroying" a certain number of statues, the [[Statues Room|statues room]] must be entered, and timing should not end until the moment the soul of the last statue required appears to exit its respective statue.

If the final or only goal involves being "in an elevator", timing can end the moment the elevator is used.

Similarly, "[[Maridia Elevator Room|visit Crateria-Maridia elevator]]" requires using the elevator.

If the final or only goal involves defeating a [[Bosses|boss or miniboss]], timing should end the moment the boss or miniboss begins exploding. Regarding Crocomire, timing should instead end the moment that the camera is unlocked after Crocomire has disintegrated in the acid.

If a goal requires an individual to "visit the critters", they must be brought onto the screen to have been considered visited.

"Fully explore the Wrecked Ship" means filling in (turning a pink color on the minimap) every map square within the Wrecked Ship. You do not have to fill in squares of the [[West Ocean|rooms outside the actual ship]].

Timing can end for "finish in a [[shinespark]] or [[Crystal Flash]]" the moment the respective technique is activated.

= Time =

Real time obviously never ceases.

Game time ceases during the following:

* Pause menu

* Room transition

* Message boxes (such as those from item fanfares and refill stations)

* [[Lag]]

* [[Pause Abuse|When Samus is considered dead]] (00 energy)

* Ceres Station cutscene

Game time does not cease during the following:

* Save station

* Refill station

* Gunship

* Elevator (excluding the room transition)

* [[Reserve Tank]] automatic trigger

* While using [[X-Ray Scope]]

* Cutscenes where Samus is still partially in the player's control (ex. stunned after [[Mother Brain|Mother Brain's]] rainbow beam)

The game begins tracking the time for the file when the screen fades into the Ceres Station elevator ride.

The game ends tracking the time for the file the moment the game has fully faded out after Samus's Gunship has departed the exploding Zebes. (approximately 10 seconds and 55 frames after the frame Samus faces forward on the Gunship)

= Version Differences =

There are no differences between the NTSC-U version and the NTSC-J version. Only the PAL version is different.

Different platforms will run Super Metroid at different frame rates.

On Virtual Console, [[Kraid]] will, on average, emerge at a faster rate than on console. ''Editor's note: After observing Kraid between consoles, I believe this to save at least half a second (again, on average) for Virtual Console players, but exact figures with supporting evidence have never been provided.''

The Wii U Virtual Console and the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions have yet to be investigated for potential differences in lag or processing.

Each platform will handle memory-altering effects such as [[Spacetime Beam|space time beam]] differently.

Similarly, each platform may show differences in terms of the blocks placed within the [[out of bounds]] areas of rooms.

TASVideos has a full list of platform framerates [http://tasvideos.org/PlatformFramerates.html here].

Dotsarecool made a comparison between various different SNES emulators in the spreadsheet linked from [https://www.speedrun.com/smw/thread/8w7yc this thread], with the caveat that the amount of lag shown may not be relevant to Super Metroid.

= SDA Timing =

For full-game categories that start on Ceres, the player gains control of Samus 343 frames after pressing "Start Game". On the original hardware, this is 5.707 seconds.

This value can also he used to calculate the RTA-equivalent time for a run that starts with the opening cutscene, such as TASes.

Emulators

Strotlog: link to retroarch

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].

Item Randomizer

2021-02-14T22:47:22Z

Strotlog: change 'never required' tricks to 'max difficulty'

== List of Randomizers ==

See [[Randomizers]]

== Logic and gameplay ==

"Logic" or "skill settings" refer to the way that the randomizer sets restrictions on each item location to ensure that no progression item is placed behind an obstacle that requires it to continue. For example, if [[Varia Suit]] is after Draygon, [[Gravity Suit]] cannot be in a location that requires Varia, like Lower Norfair(in most settings).

There are several other minor changes made to the game. The goal of these changes is to balance out item distribution, minimize idle time in the game, and minimize the chance of a soft lock.

=== Tournament Randomizer specific ===

[https://itemrando.supermetroid.run/ Tournament Randomizer]

There are a few restrictions on certain items.

* Morphing ball is always at one of the first two major item locations, [[Morphing Ball]] or [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|Energy Tank (Blue Brinstar)]]
* Gravity Suit cannot be in Crateria, and can only be at [[X-Ray Scope]] or [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 5|Energy Tank (Waterway)]] in Brinstar.
* Gravity Suit also cannot be at [[Plasma Beam]], [[Spring Ball]], or [[Space Jump]]
* Varia Suit cannot be in Crateria, or at [[Morphing Ball]] or [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|Energy Tank (Blue Brinstar)]]
* Varia Suit also cannot be in Lower Norfair
* Neither Speed Booster nor Screw Attack can be at either of the first two major item locations

Minor changes to the game can be can be found on the [https://itemrando.supermetroid.run/information randomizer information page].

== Major Item Locations ==

Major items are all 14 Energy Tanks, all four Reserve Tanks, and all unique items.

Wrecked Ship would have very few such items and Upper Norfair would be stacked with them. Therefore, one change is made in most or all Major-minor (M/m) rando software: the Energy Tank (Hi-Jump Boots) location is considered minor, and the Super Missile (Wrecked Ship East) location is considered major.

* [[Energy Tank (Gauntlet)]]
* [[Bomb]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Crateria 1|Energy Tank (Terminator)]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Brinstar 1|Reserve Tank (Brinstar)]]
* [[Charge Beam]]
* [[Morphing Ball]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|Energy Tank (Blue Brinstar)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 2|Energy Tank (Etecoon)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 5|Energy Tank (Waterway)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 4|Energy Tank (Pink Brinstar)]]
* [[X-Ray Scope]]
* [[Spazer]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 1|Energy Tank (Warehouse)]]
* [[Varia Suit]]
* [[Ice Beam]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 2|Energy Tank (Crocomire)]]
* [[Hi-Jump Boots]]
* [[Grappling Beam]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Norfair 1|Reserve Tank (Norfair)]]
* [[Speed Booster]]
* [[Wave Beam]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 4|Energy Tank (Ridley)]]
* [[Screw Attack]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 3|Energy Tank (Fireflea)]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Reserve Tank (Wrecked Ship)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Energy Tank (Wrecked Ship)]]
* [[List of Super Missiles#Wrecked Ship 2|Super Missile (Wrecked Ship East)]]
* [[Gravity Suit]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Maridia 2|Energy Tank (Mama Turtle)]]
* [[Plasma Beam]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Maridia 1|Reserve Tank (Maridia)]]
* [[Spring Ball]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Maridia 1|Energy Tank (Botwoon)]]
* [[Space Jump]]

== Routing ==

Due to the random nature of the item placement, there is no one optimal route. Much of the routing decision-making process boils down to where you are and what you have access to at any given time. It's generally a good idea to visit the closest location you can that has the most items, and that you can completely clear out so as to minimize backtracking.

A key difference between this run and most other runs is that you may not find [[Charge Beam]] until very late in the game, or it may not be in a location you can check without a significant time loss. It's important to know the ammo requirements for each boss, as you may not be able to fall back on charged shots, and on some bosses this can lead to a soft lock.

Super Missiles deal 300 [[damage]] (more on some foes), Power Bombs deal 200 damage twice, and Missiles deal 100 damage. For comparison, a fully charged Ice + Wave + Plasma beam deals 900 damage.

* Botwoon has 3,000 health, which is 10 Super Missiles
** His hit boxes can be misleading, so care should be taken if your ammo count isn't much higher than required
* Ridley has 18,000 health, but takes 2x damage from Super Missiles, so you only need 30
** Power Bombs can hit him twice if timed correctly
* Mother Brain 1 requires 19 hits with at least 3,000 damage total
* Mother Brain 2 has 18,000 health, which is 60 Super Missiles, on top of whatever you use for phase 1

In addition, if you don't find ice beam, you can clear all of the Metroids in Tourian with 12 power bombs. If you can't hold that many, you may need to leave Tourian and farm drops to kill all of the Metroids.

== Techniques ==

You can also browse and enable/disable many techniques in the [https://randommetroidsolver.pythonanywhere.com/presets VARIA randomizer skill preset editor]

=== Universal ===

While the randomizer can't generate the vanilla game due to the switching of the Hi-Jump Energy Tank and the Wrecked Ship East Super Missile, it is entirely possible to generate a seed that requires no advanced techniques. It's also possible to generate a seed that is significantly easier than the vanilla game, commonly referred to as a "free" seed. That being said, there are some techniques that will be useful in every seed for minimizing backtracking.

* [[Mockball]]
** Grants access to [[List of Reserve Tanks#Brinstar 1|Reserve Tank (Brinstar)]] and [[Ice Beam]] without [[Speed Booster]]
*** It's possible that [[Speed Booster]] could be in one of these two locations, but it's not common and the game can be completed without it
* [[Shinespark]]
** Required for [[List of Reserve Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Reserve Tank (Wrecked Ship)]], which can contain a major item
** Grants access to [[Energy Tank (Gauntlet)]] without bombs or with only one power bomb pack
** Grants passage through [[Mt. Everest]] without [[Space Jump]], [[Ice Beam]], [[Bomb]], or [[Grappling Beam]]
* [[Walljump]]
** There are a ton of places where this is useful in getting to items early, and several advanced techniques and room-specific tricks require it

=== Common ===

Most seeds will require at least one of these techniques to complete, or to prevent a soft lock when searching for items.

* [[Damage boosting]]
** About half of the time [[Morphing Ball]] will be at [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|Energy Tank (Blue Brinstar)]], so you'll need to boost into it.
*** [https://www.metroid2002.com/3/early_items_blue_brinstar_energy_tank.php Example]
* [[Alcatraz escape#Alcatraz_Escape|Alcatraz Escape]]
** This will never be necessary, but you can soft lock the game if you check [[Bomb]] early and can't perform this technique to get back out

=== Uncommon ===

* [[14%#Techniques|Mochtroid Clip]]
* [[Puyo Clip]]
** This is the same idea as the Mochtroid Clip but with a Puyo in the [[Pants Room]], which allows access to [[Spring Ball]] without [[Grappling Beam]]
* [[Gate Glitch]]
** In [[Pink Brinstar Hopper Room]] while flush with the left wall, jump and fire a Super Missile so it passes just below the grapple block. If you don't have Hi-Jump Boots, you have to jump out of the door frame, but the randomizer will never require this.
** Can be required to access [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 2|Energy Tank (Crocomire)]] and [[Grappling Beam]]
** Can allow faster access to [[Screw Attack]]
* [[Short Charge]]
** Grants access to [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 5|Energy Tank (Waterway)]] without Gravity Suit
** Can be used to escape after Draygon
** Can be used to escape Gauntlet without Bombs or Power Bombs

=== Rare ===

It's rare that any given seed will require any of these techniques, but it is possible for a seed to generate that requires one or more of these techniques to complete.

* [[Bomb Jump|Infinite Bomb Jump]]
** May be required to access [[Grappling Beam]]
** May be required to access [[List of Reserve Tanks#Norfair 1|Reserve Tank (Norfair)]]
*** This can technically be done with a wall jump as well, but without [[Hi-Jump Boots]] it is extremely precise and the randomizer will never require it
** May be required to access [[List of Energy Tanks#Maridia 2|Energy Tank (Mama Turtle)]]
** May be required to pass through [[The Worst Room In The Game]]
** May be required to escape from [[Plasma Beam]]
** A very precise version of this starting with a jump may be required to get through [[Sponge Bath]] on the way to [[List of Energy Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Energy Tank (Wrecked Ship)]]
* [[14%#Techniques|Gravity Jump]]
** Can be required to access Lower Norfair, or to escape after Draygon
* [[14%#Techniques|Continuous Wall Jump]]
** Can be required to access Wrecked Ship
* [[Spring Ball Jump]]
** Performed by jumping with spring ball not equipped, pausing at the right time, equipping spring ball, and then unpausing. If performed correctly, it grants an extra jump
** May be required to access [[List of Energy Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Energy Tank (Wrecked Ship)]]
** May also be required to prevent a soft lock after getting [[Screw Attack]]

=== Max difficulty ===

Some of these can make your run a bit faster, but most settings (including the whole Tournament Randomizer) will never generate a seed where these tricks are required to complete. Unless you are very consistent with them, attempting these tricks is generally slower than just going back and looking for the required items.

* Inner Maridia without [[Gravity Suit]]
** Inner Maridia major item locations are [[Plasma Beam]], [[Spring Ball]], and [[Space Jump]]
* Lower Norfair without [[Varia Suit]]
* [[Lava Dive Room]] without either [[Hi-Jump Boots]] or [[Gravity Suit]]
* [[Red Brinstar Fireflea Room#Any% Glitched|Early X-Ray]] aka D-boost to X-Ray room

Some of these can make your run a bit faster, but the randomizer will never generate a seed where these tricks are required to complete. Unless you are very consistent with them, attempting these tricks is generally slower than just going back and looking for the required items.

Item Randomizer

2021-02-14T22:42:25Z

Strotlog: correct the rule about what items are major

== List of Randomizers ==

See [[Randomizers]]

== Logic and gameplay ==

"Logic" or "skill settings" refer to the way that the randomizer sets restrictions on each item location to ensure that no progression item is placed behind an obstacle that requires it to continue. For example, if [[Varia Suit]] is after Draygon, [[Gravity Suit]] cannot be in a location that requires Varia, like Lower Norfair(in most settings).

There are several other minor changes made to the game. The goal of these changes is to balance out item distribution, minimize idle time in the game, and minimize the chance of a soft lock.

=== Tournament Randomizer specific ===

[https://itemrando.supermetroid.run/ Tournament Randomizer]

There are a few restrictions on certain items.

* Morphing ball is always at one of the first two major item locations, [[Morphing Ball]] or [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|Energy Tank (Blue Brinstar)]]
* Gravity Suit cannot be in Crateria, and can only be at [[X-Ray Scope]] or [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 5|Energy Tank (Waterway)]] in Brinstar.
* Gravity Suit also cannot be at [[Plasma Beam]], [[Spring Ball]], or [[Space Jump]]
* Varia Suit cannot be in Crateria, or at [[Morphing Ball]] or [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|Energy Tank (Blue Brinstar)]]
* Varia Suit also cannot be in Lower Norfair
* Neither Speed Booster nor Screw Attack can be at either of the first two major item locations

Minor changes to the game can be can be found on the [https://itemrando.supermetroid.run/information randomizer information page].

== Major Item Locations ==

Major items are all 14 Energy Tanks, all four Reserve Tanks, and all unique items.

Wrecked Ship would have very few such items and Upper Norfair would be stacked with them. Therefore, one change is made in most or all Major-minor (M/m) rando software: the Energy Tank (Hi-Jump Boots) location is considered minor, and the Super Missile (Wrecked Ship East) location is considered major.

* [[Energy Tank (Gauntlet)]]
* [[Bomb]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Crateria 1|Energy Tank (Terminator)]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Brinstar 1|Reserve Tank (Brinstar)]]
* [[Charge Beam]]
* [[Morphing Ball]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 3|Energy Tank (Blue Brinstar)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 2|Energy Tank (Etecoon)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 5|Energy Tank (Waterway)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 4|Energy Tank (Pink Brinstar)]]
* [[X-Ray Scope]]
* [[Spazer]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Brinstar 1|Energy Tank (Warehouse)]]
* [[Varia Suit]]
* [[Ice Beam]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 2|Energy Tank (Crocomire)]]
* [[Hi-Jump Boots]]
* [[Grappling Beam]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Norfair 1|Reserve Tank (Norfair)]]
* [[Speed Booster]]
* [[Wave Beam]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 4|Energy Tank (Ridley)]]
* [[Screw Attack]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Norfair 3|Energy Tank (Fireflea)]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Reserve Tank (Wrecked Ship)]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Energy Tank (Wrecked Ship)]]
* [[List of Super Missiles#Wrecked Ship 2|Super Missile (Wrecked Ship East)]]
* [[Gravity Suit]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Maridia 2|Energy Tank (Mama Turtle)]]
* [[Plasma Beam]]
* [[List of Reserve Tanks#Maridia 1|Reserve Tank (Maridia)]]
* [[Spring Ball]]
* [[List of Energy Tanks#Maridia 1|Energy Tank (Botwoon)]]
* [[Space Jump]]

== Routing ==

Due to the random nature of the item placement, there is no one optimal route. Much of the routing decision-making process boils down to where you are and what you have access to at any given time. It's generally a good idea to visit the closest location you can that has the most items, and that you can completely clear out so as to minimize backtracking.

A key difference between this run and most other runs is that you may not find [[Charge Beam]] until very late in the game, or it may not be in a location you can check without a significant time loss. It's important to know the ammo requirements for each boss, as you may not be able to fall back on charged shots, and on some bosses this can lead to a soft lock.

Super Missiles deal 300 damage, Power Bombs deal 200 damage, and Missiles deal 100 damage. For comparison, a fully charged Ice + Wave + Plasma beam deals 900 damage.

* Botwoon has 3,000 health, which is 10 Super Missiles
** His hit boxes can be misleading, so care should be taken if your ammo count isn't much higher than required
* Ridley has 18,000 health, but takes 2x damage from Super Missiles, so you only need 30
** Power Bombs can hit him twice if timed correctly
* Mother Brain 1 requires 19 hits with at least 3,000 damage total
* Mother Brain 2 has 18,000 health, which is 60 Super Missiles, on top of whatever you use for phase 1

In addition, if you don't find ice beam, you can clear all of the metroids in Tourian with 12 power bombs. If you can't hold that many, you may need to leave Tourian and farm drops to kill all of the metroids.

== Techniques ==

=== Universal ===

While the randomizer can't generate the vanilla game due to the switching of the Hi-Jump Energy Tank and the Wrecked Ship East Super Missile, it is entirely possible to generate a seed that requires no advanced techniques. It's also possible to generate a seed that is significantly easier than the vanilla game, commonly referred to as a "free" seed. That being said, there are some techniques that will be useful in every seed for minimizing backtracking.

* [[Mockball]]
** Grants access to [[List of Reserve Tanks#Brinstar 1|Reserve Tank (Brinstar)]] and [[Ice Beam]] without [[Speed Booster]]
*** It's possible that [[Speed Booster]] could be in one of these two locations, but it's not common and the game can be completed without it
* [[Shinespark]]
** Required for [[List of Reserve Tanks#Wrecked Ship 1|Reserve Tank (Wrecked Ship)]], which can contain a major item
** Grants access to [[Energy Tank (Gauntlet)]] without bombs or with only one power bomb pack
** Grants passage through [[Mt. Everest]] without [[Space Jump]], [[Ice Beam]], [[Bomb]], or [[Grappling Beam]]

X-Plasma

2021-02-09T22:42:13Z

Strotlog:

'''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.

Strotlog: added 'microwave beam' nickname

'''X-Plasma''', also referred to 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.
