14% xBoots is one of the theoretical 14% categories that is yet to have a known, recorded, RTA completion. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using Hi-Jump Boots and X-Ray Scope 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:

Collected Items

Morphball.png Bombs.png Charge.png Xray.png Hijump.png Varia.png Etank.png Etank.png Reserver.png Missiles.png Missiles.png Supermissiles.png Supermissiles.png Powerbomb.png

Note since R-mode clip is going to be done, it is advisable to skip Terminator Energy Tank. Additionally, 1+2 Energy+Reserve Tanks may be easier (and would allow a faster route than what is stated below), but the current best (PAL) method for the Zebetite kill is easier with 2 Energy Tanks.

Theoretical Route

Collect Morph, Alpha Missiles, Bombs, Early Supers, Brinstar Reserve, and Charge Beam.

Get Alpha Power Bombs, CWJ over to Phantoon, and get Wrecked Ship Supers Left.

Kill Kraid, and get Varia Suit.

Get Hi-Jump Boots.

Get X-Ray Scope (it would be faster to get this earlier, but is only needed now).

Climb Main Street (or G-mode into Maridia).

Jesuswalk.

R-mode clip to Botwoon. Get Botwoon's Energy Tank.

Climb up Halfie Climb Room. Proceed through Colosseum. Snipe kill Draygon, and X-Ray Climb out.

Exit via Aqueduct and West Sand Hall.

Get the Hi-Jump Energy Tank.

Lava dive (or G-mode into Lower Norfair), and go to kill Ridley.

Go to Tourian with full 10/10/5 ammo.

Kill as many metroid rooms as you can. Then single-wall underwater walljump out of Tourian to get more ammo. Repeat as 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.
