14% xSpeed is one of the fourteen in-bounds 14% categories that are currently humanly possible. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using the Speed Booster and X-Ray Scope for level progression.

This category utilizes L+R Walljumping to breach the water pre-colosseum due to the lack of Gravity Suit, Hi-Jump Boots, Ice Beam, and Grapple. It is theoretically possible that this can be avoided on PAL, by performing a Superjump at Mt. Everest and carrying the resulting blue suit to then spark up this room. This has not been done RTA.

Prerequisites

To finish this run, you need to know how to:
