14% GrappleChargeless 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 Grapple Beam and Speed Booster for level progression.
Although the WR run utilizes L+R climbing, it is theoretically possible to complete the run without it since Grapple Beam removes the need to breach the water pre-colosseum. However, completing the run without it would be extremely difficult since it would require both left and right side underwater walljumps without Hi-Jump Boots.

- Mockball
- Infinite bomb jump
- Continuous walljump and/or horizontal bomb jump over the moat
- Enter Maridia via forgotten highway and tube gravity jump
- Navigate Maridia without Gravity Suit, Hi-Jump Boots, or Ice Beam
- Exit Maridia via East Cactus Alley Room or left side underwater walljump w/o Hi-Jump Boots
- Lava dive without Gravity Suit or Hi-Jump Boots
- Elevator Crystal Flash
- Draygon ammo underflow
Collected Items
- Morphing Ball
- Bombs
- Grapple Beam (to bypass Mt. Everest and keep blue suit)
- Varia Suit (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
- 2 Energy Tanks (Various) (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
- 1 Reserve Tank (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
- 2 Missile Packs (Awakening and Moat) (to open red doors, Crystal Flash, and defeat MB1)
- 2 Super Missile Packs (Early and Wrecked Ship (Left)) (to open green doors, Crystal Flash, and defeat MB1)
