Least number of killed enemies:

In order to obtain an as canonical and objective definition that fits to the game and its structure, the following analysis will refer to a definition of when an enemy is killed(*) and as how many kills an enemy kill counts by means of actions by Samus or the player that extends from the logic that the grey in-game enemy kill-count shells use via memory watching each of the in total 32 healthpoints tracking slots for enemies.

• No Spazer+Plasma
• No GT Code
• No Savestation G-Mode Memory Corruption

(*) Note that just hurting enemies will be ignored in this analysis as long as it doesn't lead to reducing the number of healthpoints of an enemy slot to 0.
