14% xSpeed is one of the thirteen in-bounds low% categories that are currently humanly possible. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using the Speed Booster and X-Ray Scope for level progression.
This category utilizes L+R Walljumping to breach the water pre-colosseum due to the lack of Gravity Suit, Hi-Jump Boots, Ice Beam, and Grapple. It is theoretically possible that this can be avoided on PAL, by performing a Superjump at Mt. Everest and carrying the resulting blue suit to then spark up this room. This has not been done RTA.
