Category Details

14% xSpring 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 Spring Ball and X-Ray Scope for level progression.
This category is based on 13% xCharge, but adds Spring Ball to avoid L+R Walljumping in Halfie Climb Room.
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:
- Mockball
- Infinite bomb jump
- G-Mode
- Jesuswalk
- X-Ray Climb
- R-jump to collect Spring Ball without Gravity Suit
- Escape Spring Ball Room without Gravity Suit or Hi-Jump Boots (this clip shows this on NTSC)
- Sandfall horizontal infinite bomb jump through East Sand Hall
- R-Mode pre-Botwoon clip
- Mid-air spring ball jump to ibj with a reserve tank automatic refill
- Lava dive without Gravity Suit or Hi-Jump Boots (or G-Mode enter Lower Norfair)
- Destroy Zebetites while only using 10 missiles
This run uses a plethora of tech, being one of the few categories to explicitly require all of X-Mode, R-Mode, and G-Mode. It additionally uses obscure Spring Ball tech.
Collected Items
- Morphing Ball
- Bombs
- Charge Beam (for bosses)
- X-Ray Scope (for pre-Botwoon, Mt. Everest, to collect Spring Ball, and escaping Draygon's Chambers)
- Spring Ball (to climb Halfie Climb Room without L+R Walljumping)
- Varia Suit (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
- 1 Energy Tanks (to survive MB2's rainbow beam)
- 2 Reserve Tank (for pre-Botwoon and 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)
- 1 Power Bomb Pack (to open orange doors)
Note since R-mode clip is going to be done, it is advisable to skip Terminator Energy Tank. Two energy tanks could be collected instead, but due to R-mode clip being necessary this would mean Draygon could only be fought with 1+1 tanks.
Current Route
Collect Morph, Alpha Missiles, Bombs, Early Supers, Brinstar Reserve, and Charge Beam.
Get Alpha Power Bombs.
Get X-Ray Scope.
Kill Kraid, and get Varia Suit. If getting tow Reserve Tanks, go down for Norfair Reserve.
Enter Maridia from the tube, and head towards the Sand Halls.
Cross West Sand Hall with a Jesuswalk (note the setup is similar to the Mt Everest Jesuswalk).
Use an Evir "particle" to enter G-Mode and cross East Sand Hall.
X-Ray climb towards Spring Ball, and then R-jump to collect it.
Use Bombs to double spring ball jump out of this room, and use Bombs and Spring Ball to cross East Sand Hall and West Sand Hall.
Go up, and cross Moat to kill Phantoon and get Wrecked Ship Supers Left. Note this could be done earlier, but there is also no reason to do this until after Spring Ball which then makes crossing Moat easier.
G-mode enter Maridia, Jesuswalk across Mt Everest.
R-mode clip to Botwoon. Mid-air spring ball jump to get Botwoon's Energy Tank.
X-Ray climb to the middle of Halfie Climb Room and jump to scroll the camera. Perform a mid-air spring ball jump such that a mochtroid triggers a reserve tank automatic refill at the peak of the second jump, laying a bomb just before the refill occurs. Continue an ibj from here, and finish climbing Halfie Climb Room.
Cross Colosseum (hope you are confident here). Snipe kill Draygon, and X-Ray Climb out.
Proceed back to Aqueduct and escape out the bottom.
Lava dive (or G-mode into Lower Norfair), and go to kill Ridley.
Go to Tourian with full 10/10/5 ammo and save.
Handle the metroid rooms. The current route does this by making sure to get at least one power bomb drop in rooms 1 and 3 (so two rooms can be done at a time), and escapes Tourian to refill power bombs using a bomb double spring ball jump.
Continue through (using no supers) to save before Zebetites.
Kill the first Zebetite using a super missile. Perform the 10 Missile Zebetite Kills. Then defeat Mother Brain and escape.
