14% xGravity is one of the in-bounds 14% categories that have a known RTA completion. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using the X-Ray Scope and Gravity Suit for level progression.

This category is possible due to being able to kill Zebetites with only 10 missiles.

Prerequisites

To finish this run, you need to know how to:

• Mockball
• Infinite bomb jump
• Continuous walljump and/or horizontal bomb jump over the moat
• R-Mode pre-Botwoon clip
• Gravity jump (entering Lower Norfair)
• Destroy Zebetites while only using 10 missiles

Collected Items

• Morphing Ball
• Bombs
• Charge Beam (for bosses)
• X-Ray Scope (for pre-Botwoon)
• Gravity Suit (for Maridia navigation)
• Varia Suit (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
• 1 Energy Tank (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
• 2 Reserve Tanks (for pre-Botwoon and to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
• 2 Missile Pack (to open red doors, defeat MB1, and destory Zebetites)
• 2 Super Missile Packs (to open green doors and defeat MB1)
• 1 Power Bomb Pack (to open orange doors)

Note 1+2 Energy+Reserve Tanks may be easier for R-Mode clip, and Gravity Suit still allows the damage method for 10 missile Zebetites to be used.

Route

PKRD is the current world record route. This does a standard low% opening to Gravity (while getting Brinstar Reserve), then gets Norfair Reserve for the second reserve tank (to make R-mode clip more viable and to have maximum tanks for Ridley) and kills Ridley before going to Draygon.
