This category aims to kill Crocomire's tongue, which requires 93 Power Bombs. Because only 50 Power Bombs are available in the game under normal conditions, some type of glitch must be used to acquire more.

Spacetime Reset Route

The current World Record uses a route that's identical to the GT Spacetime route until it gets to the Crateria Tube, then it goes down and repeatedly grabs the PBs in Alpha Power Bomb Room, then uses Spacetime Beam to reset the room.

God Block Route

There is another route that's more viable on console (since Spacetime Beam will often crash on console), that uses the setup similar to the one from 0% to set Samus' Power Bomb count to 127.

The normalized movement at the end of the 0% setup can be used as-is, but there is another faster normalized setup available to this category because of the block shuffler effects after the God Block is touched -- in 0% the transition blocks just to the right of where Samus lands are not present.

After the initial bunny-hop to the left, do a turnaround bombjump without a remorph to the right, then bunny-hop to the left. Continue the bunny-hop after the item fanfare box closes, then walk to the right. You will warp to Terminator in-bounds.
