Route

The route listed below is the standard "early Crocomire" route.

The record listed above uses a different and typically more optimal "late Crocomire" route, which requires freezing a Puyo to clip into Shaktool's chamber, due to the lack of Grapple Beam, to access Spring Ball. It is unclear which route is faster if both are performed completely optimally, however this route negates Crocomire RNG entirely with the use of Plasma Beam, and has generally faster movement collecting Grapple Beam with the use of Space Jump/Springball, and X-Ray with the use of a Spikesuit obtained while waiting for Crocomire. This route is also risky as it is easy to lose time if the clip to Spring Ball is missed, requiring a reset of the room sometimes multiple times. It is not recommended to players unless they are able to perform this clip consistently. Additionally, due to delaying Crocomire, this route will leave the player with one less Energy Tank and Power Bomb expansion for Wrecked Ship than the route below, making traversing and surviving the area slightly more difficult in comparison, and making energy management for the following segment more difficult as well.

Additionally, there is a route deviation that involves acquiring Power Bombs before Kraid's Lair to acquire the Missile pack from the area during the initial visit rather than having to revisit Kraid's Lair later for it.
