Any% KPDR

If you have Spazer, you can fire three beam shots, or one charged shot, to kill each Dessgeega.

Without Spazer, you can fire a shot and a missile to kill each one. Alternatively, you can avoid using missiles with the Screwball, a strat created by Dbx. Pseudo-screw through the first one, and use that jump to mockball under the second one.

12%

To get up here, since you have no Bombs unlike other Low% categories, there are two methods. One is a very tough walljump-morph off of the left wall that boosts off of the Nova. This is the method shown in Sniq's videos. The other method uses Reserve Tank auto-refill to allow the invulnerability frames to run out, allowing a bomb jump to be combined with the Nova boost to get you to the top.
