Sweetnumb's Notes

100% Map Completion, aka. Mapo is a category with the purpose of turning all the existing map tiles in pink. This can be made by passing by all the map tiles with the exception of boss rooms, whose are automatically turned pink on the exit. Plus, an invisible map in Green Brinstar Fireflea Room, for which its collection or not has to be decided by the community *. Ceres has 12 tiles, Crateria 218, Brinstar 247, Norfair 361, Wrecked Ship 69, Maridia 276, and Tourian 78. All this makes a total of 1261 (only counting pink map squares) or 1262 (the set of pink map squares together with 1 especially conveniently accessible permanently black map square), respectively, map squares, and in the map square counter practice hack, the corresponding map square counts are 1243 and 1244.

Items

This category allows to take as many items as you want to complete the game and turn all map tiles in pink. As you have to travel through every room in the game, the penalty time to go pick up e-tank is slightly lower than in any%. Thereby, runners usually pick up at least 7 tanks to allow stand-up glitch. Another reason to pick up extra items is to either refill your energy or avoid later farm which would cost more time.

Route

Ceres

Ceres station is for the most part similar from any other category, with one exception: The Ridley room tile does not turn pink when you first enter the room. You have to leave it and get back in after the escape sequence is toggled.

Early Zebes

The begin of the run is very similar to the 100% item route. In fact, most of the tiles you may skip will be collected later. You go down pick up morphball and your first missile pack, then climb back, pick up the bombs, and beat the Bomb Torizo. Head to the terminator room, pick up the e-tank and take the elevator to green Brinstar. Head to the Early Super Room, go grab the super pack and go back to the reserve tank room. You don't have to pick up any item, just roll beneath the Chozo statue, and grab the two tiles. Optimally, you want to escape this room doing the reverse Mockball.

Pink Brinstar to Kraid

Head to Big Pink, grab the Charge Beam, go toward the red tower. You don't have to grab any tile out of your way, you will go back there. Go down the red tower. Head to the Spazer room, you don't have to pick it. Head directly to Kraid, defeat him, and pick Varia Suit. You don't have to pick up Kraid's room tiles, they turn automatically to pink. Head to the missile and energy refill room, pick up the Kraid's save room tile, pick up Kraid e-tank, and go down the elevator to Norfair.

You have to let you fall in a couple of holes on the way in because slopes do not grab every tile. Head to Wave Beam, pick it up, grab all the tiles in Double Chamber. Escape using the lower door, and go down. Go to the lava rooms, and head to the Kronic Boost room. Take the higher left door. Go pick up the pre-dive farm room tile. Go back to Bubble Mountain, grab the lower right tile by breaking the bomb block and rolling in the tunnel you normally exit in any%. Head to Crocomire, you may want to farm a bit the bug at the farming spot next to the door if you're really low on hp or ammo. Beat Crocomire, pick up it's e-tank and wait a bit here, you won't collect the map tile until you croc completely sunk in the acid. Head to croc's powerbombs, grab them and go down the shaft. Pick the right room tiles, don't grab the missile pack. collect all the tiles in the big Indiana Jones room grapple_map_strat, beware of the missile tile, and the one below it.

You don't have to break the Super block, all tiles are free from access. Go to the bowling. Head to the reserve tank, but don't spark, just jump into the shaft to pick up the remaining tile. Pick up gravity, when exiting Wrecked Ship, jump into the transition, to pick the two tile in front of it. Pick up the underwater tiles, including those next to the missile tank. Don't worry about the remaining tiles in West Ocean, you'll go back later. Pick up the underwater tile under the moat.
