Item-Tree-Analysis (without OoB or Space-Time-Beam, for PAL and NTSC) corresponding to tool-assisted superplay: (unfinished, obsolete, incomplete)

Similarly to the Exploration Analysis, in the following all by the community so far known different minimal ("minimal" defined the exact same way as in the exploration analysis chapter) options that are sufficient for TAS in order to collect given items are gathered:

  • means that Chainsaw-Powerbombs are used (see e.g. certain Botwoon-E.-Tank options).

[Note that in certain cases, mainly in Maridia, it was extremely complicated to find all different minimal options since a large variety of such options exists for the most of those, especially if one gets deep into Maridia, then options kind of multiply]

Options with Chainsaw-Powerbombs:

[In the case of taking (E2, Ice, X-Ray, Wave, Spazer, Plasma, *), due to not having any items in the "Boots" section of the Menu, one would have to toggle Chainsaw-Beam on diagonally by turning on the upper most currently collected Beam in the list in the Menu, which means one would have to turn on Spazer and Plasma together already before collecting Ice, and since the option would be redundant if taking Charge for Botwoon ammunition, Murder-Beam applications would be redundant and Ice could not be used, so that an Item in the "Boots" section would have to be collected which would make the option redundant due to Botwoon-Skip route options.]

Options with Chainsaw-Powerbombs:

[In the case of taking (E2, Ice, X-Ray, Wave, Spazer, Plasma, *), due to not having any items in the "Boots" section of the Menu, one would have to toggle Chainsaw-Beam on diagonally by turning on the upper most currently collected Beam in the list in the Menu, which means one would have to turn on Spazer and Plasma together already before collecting Ice, and since the option would be redundant if taking Charge for Botwoon ammunition, Murder-Beam applications would be redundant and Ice could not be used, so that an Item in the "Boots" section would have to be collected which would make the option redundant due to Botwoon-Skip route options.]

options via Grapple and ceiling-CF to come from below:

Are the following options doable/minimal, or how low can the numbers a, A,... of theoretically needed E-Tanks be chosen for PAL (for which hellruns do damage significantly slower) and NTSC?!

Especially, are the integers b, B, c, C,... strictly smaller than the number a (or A respectively), or could that be caused by adding further items that speed Samus up suitably (when not having any R-Tanks), and if so, what different item-combinations can be added to achieve strictly lower amounts of E-Tanks?!

Also, would it be possible (maybe with Grapple, in PAL/NTSC) to effectively gain energy and hold it near the maximum via some efficient big-energy-drop farming TAS-rng-strategy in the unique heated room with the Magdollites (in order to start TAS-hellruns from there when not having R-Tanks, in order to gain estimates for the constants...)?!

Also, if (E3, Grapple) is (starting in GT´s room) not enough to get the ceiling-CF started, what different added item-combinations could achieve that in minimal ways?!

(E3, Grapple, R-Tank), (E3, Grapple, Gravity), (E3, Grapple, Varia, a*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, A*E-Tank; NTSC), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, b*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, B*E-Tank; NTSC), (E3, Grapple, Varia, Speed, c*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, Speed, C*E-Tank; NTSC), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, Speed, d*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, Speed, D*E-Tank; NTSC), (E3, Grapple, Varia, Grapple, e*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, Grapple, E*E-Tank; NTSC), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, Grapple, f*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, Grapple, F*E-Tank; NTSC), (E3, Grapple, Varia, Speed, Grapple, g*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, Speed, Grapple, G*E-Tank; NTSC), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, Speed, Grapple, h*E-Tank; PAL), (E3, Grapple, Varia, HighJump, Speed, Grapple, H*E-Tank; NTSC),...

The same kind of questions regarding items that speed up Samus can be asked when adding CF-ammunition (instead of just E-Tanks) for the hellrun towards the Lower-Norfair elevator with or without Varia (without R-Tanks), and furthermore questions about the necessary number of CFs can be asked...

Another question then is if locally (e.g. near the lavapit) charged shinesparks, Shinespark-Suit or BlueSuit could speed things up in order to shave off items like E-Tanks...
