14% xGravity 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 the X-Ray Scope and Gravity Suit 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 Gravity.png Varia.png Etank.png Reserver.png Reserver.png Missiles.png Missiles.png Supermissiles.png Supermissiles.png Powerbomb.png

Note 1+2 Energy+Reserve Tanks may be easier for R-Mode clip, and Gravity Suit still allows the damage method for 10 missile Zebetites to be used.

Route

PKRD is the current world record route. This does a standard low% opening to Gravity (while getting Brinstar Reserve), then gets Norfair Reserve for the second reserve tank (to make R-mode clip more viable and to have maximum tanks for Ridley) and kills Ridley before going to Draygon.
