Certain minimal item-combinations: (which are theoretically sufficient to beat the game, but within which one cannot beat the game anymore if even just a single arbitrary item of the combination is taken away) that contain at least either Varia, Gravity or one R-Tank (such that no extreme, optimal hellruns using Pause Abuse in Lower Norfair are necessary) (without Major-glitches): (unfinished)

Distinguishing cases:

I. Categories that include Gravity

II. Categories that do not include Gravity

1. Categories that include Charge

2. Categories that do not include Charge

a. Categories that include Varia

b. Categories that do not include Varia

-An important update to this section is missing, due to the new possibility of killing the 3rd Zebetite by hitting the bottom part of the 2nd Zebetite with a dopplering approach while it already has 0 hp, allowing to effectively reduce ammo needed for the cases in which the Zebetites cannot be skipped. Furthermore, by combining Chainsaw-Beam powerbombs with a Superjump (using X-Ray shortly after the powerbomb was layed) to delete the beam cooldown so that no single Missile needs to be added to kill a Zebetite (TODO: movie file that demonstrates this).

Furthermore, by combining Chainsaw-Beam powerbombs with a Superjump (using X-Ray shortly after the powerbomb was layed) to delete the beam cooldown so that no single Missile needs to be added to kill a Zebetite (TODO: movie file that demonstrates this). In particular, killing the 3rd Zebetite in the process of overkilling the 2nd Zebetite (barely) allows ammunition-wise to get past the Zebetites and Mother Brain's phase 1 with 5 Missiles and 20 Super Missiles total, by using 5 Missiles and 2 Super Missiles in the 1st and 4th Zebetite, and killing the 2nd Zebetite using exactly 3 Super Missiles and (at least) 2 Missiles in a way so that the last projectile can be dopplered in before the lower part of the 2nd Zebetite despawns (meaning the 2nd last projectile is not a Super Missile). This leaves Samus with 5 Missiles and 13 Super Missiles which suffices to get past MB1.
 In the following, certain minimal item combinations are investigated. In this case ''minimal item combinations'' refers to item combinations which are for tool-assisted superplay sufficient to beat the game without GT-Code, Out of Bounds or Spazer+Plasma beam combinations, but in such a way that if even just a single arbitrary item of a given combination is taken away, the game cannot be beaten anymore in this manner with the remaining items of a given collection. In the following, those minimal item combinations are looked at that contain at least either Varia, Gravity or at least one R.-Tank (such that no extreme, optimal hellruns using Pause Abuse in Lower Norfair are necessary to be investigated), ordered by 3 distinctions:
