14% GravPb 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 Gravity Suit and Power Bombs for level progression.

This category is possible due to being able to kill Zebetites with only 10 missiles, and by lining up a Puyo to CF clip to Botwoon with only 10 power bombs.

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
• Crystal Flash clip to Botwoon with a maximum of 10 power bombs
• Gravity jump (entering Lower Norfair)
• Destroy Zebetites while only using 10 missiles

Collected Items

• Morphing Ball
• Bombs
• Charge Beam (for bosses)
• Gravity Suit (for Maridia navigation)
• Varia Suit (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
• 3 Energy Tanks (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)
• 2 Power Bomb Pack (to open orange doors and CF clip to Botwoon)

Additionally, 1+2 Energy+Reserve Tanks may be easier, but the current best (PAL) method for the Zebetite kill is easier with 2 Energy Tanks.

Theoretical Route

Collect Morph, Alpha Missiles, Bombs, Terminator Energy Tank, Early Supers, and Charge Beam.

Get Alpha Power Bombs, Beta Power Bombs, CWJ across the Moat, and get Wrecked Ship Supers Left and Gravity Suit.

Proceed through Maridia.

Crystal Flash clip to Botwoon with appropriate Puyo placement to collect a power bomb drop. This is a 24% chance.

Get Botwoon's Energy Tank, and proceed through the rest of Maridia.

Kill Kraid, and get Varia Suit and Kraid's Energy Tank.

Lava dive, and go to kill Ridley.

Go to Tourian, and kill the Metroids with power bombs (by leaving Tourian to get more power bombs if needed). Enter the end part of Tourian with 10/10 ammo.

Kill the first Zebetite using a super missile. Perform the 10 Missile Zebetite Kills. Then defeat Mother Brain and escape.
