Unskippable Items

Light/Dark Beams, PBs, Missiles, Bombs, Light Suit

All needed in multiple locations. Chance of skipping these is likely 0.

Screw Attack

Needed in Ing Hive Temple (a non-SA-SW in the Ing Hive Energy controller room would solve this)

Needed to reach Emperor Ing

Seeker Missiles

One sky Temple key prevents this skip. A SW in the Dark Plain of Worship would solve this.

Boost Ball

Needed for getting Seeker Missiles

Needed for beating the Spider Guardian

Needed for getting Screw Attack

Spiderball

Needed for Emperor Ing II

Amber Translator

Needed to escape Agon Temple after aquiring Bombs. Only a Secret World in the accessable rooms which requires Bombs would allow skipping of this item.

Violet Translator

Required for entering/leaving Agon

Items which can be skipped, but not for low %

Space Jump

This may not be unskippable, but skipping it seems unlikely.

Dark Suit

The Dark Suit is required to skip the Annihilator beam.

Dark Suit and Annihilator

Though it has yet to be proven, it might be possible to skip Dark Suit instead of Annihilator using MBI.

Boost Guardian can be beaten using an early Power Bomb, so this would require skipping the Super Missile.

Quadraxis has yet to be tested.

Gravity Boost, early Power Bomb and Super Missiles

It is possible to skip Gravity Boost; Power Bombs are not required to do so.

It is possible to get a Power Bomb expansion quite early.

It seems possible to skip the Super Missiles, but has not yet been done.

Skipping the Super Missiles requires an early Power Bomb to get the Lower Torvus key.

It is necessary to get the main Power Bomb to have the Sky Temple key in Dark Oasis spawn, making it impossible to get a lower percentage this way.

It is possible to get the Main Power Bomb early, but only after killing Chykka.

Notes

Skippable Items are:

Grapple Beam
Space Jump
Annihilator beam
Gravity boost
Dark Suit
Super Missiles
Echo Visor
Cobalt Translator
Emerald Translator

Amorbis, and therefore the Dark Agon keys, can be skipped when skipping the Dark Suit.

Returning the energy to Agon and Torvus can be skipped (but not Sanctuary; that triggers the Light Suit).

The keys for the Ing Hive can be skipped by getting over the Ing Hive key gate blocking you from Quadraxis. (see Skipping the Ing Hive Keys)

The Caretaker Drone can be skipped by getting the Screw Attack early.

+__TOC__
-'''Grapple Beam'''
+== Unskippable Items ==
-- Only needed for the room prior to the Vault(room you get Screw Attack in).  Methods have been found to bypass all other grapple points.
+=== Light/Dark Beams, PBs, Missiles, Bombs, Light Suit ===
-- Alternatively, skip screw attack(as described below) and solve reaching the energy controller room in sanctuary temple.
+:All needed in multiple locations.  Chance of skipping these is likely 0.
-'''Screw Attack'''
+=== Screw Attack ===
-- Needed in Ing Hive Temple, to obtain an Ing Hive Key, to obtain the Sky Temple Key in Ing Hive Entrance, and to reach Emperor Ing.
+:Needed in Ing Hive Temple (a non-SA-SW in the Ing Hive Energy controller room would solve this)
+:Needed to reach Emperor Ing
-'''Gravity Boost'''
+=== Seeker Missiles ===
-- Dark Tovus Key 2 prevents this skip.  Either reaching Sanctuary early, defeating the PB Guardian without spider ball, reaching the dark world portal without gravity boost then leaving light torvus without gravity boost, or secret worlding to the key are the only known possible and plausible solutions to reaching the key without gravity boost.
+:One sky Temple key prevents this skip. A SW in the Dark Plain of Worship would solve this.
-'''Seeker Missiles'''
+=== Boost Ball ===
-- Gates blocking the path from Torvus to Sanctuary.  These include Sacred Bridge, and the second room past Sanctuary Entrance.  You can not see the seeker targets for these gates without dark visor; however, you can damage seeker targets without dark visor on.
+:Needed for getting Seeker Missiles
+:Needed for beating the Spider Guardian
+:Needed for getting Screw Attack
-'''Echo Visor'''
+=== Spiderball ===
-- Needed only to disable the sonic locks enroute to Quadraxis.  Quadraxis, Dark Samus 3/4, and the Ing Hive key in watch station can all be reached/beaten without using echo visor.
+:Needed for Emperor Ing II
-'''Boost Ball'''
+=== Amber Translator ===
-- Needed to enter sanctuary(1st room in Sanc.) and break the window to reach the Echo Visor/Dark Samus 2 fight.
+:Needed to escape Agon Temple after aquiring Bombs. Only a Secret World in the accessable rooms which requires Bombs would allow skipping of this item.
-'''Annihilator Beam'''
+=== Violet Translator ===
-- Only the doors in Ing Hive temple prevent this item from being skipped.  However, bypassing them will likely only be done via secret worlds.
+:Required for entering/leaving Agon
-'''Spiderball'''
+== Items which can be skipped, but not for low % ==
-- Needed for various rooms still and potentially Emperor Ing form 2.  Not needed for Quadraxis.
+=== Space Jump ===
-'''Dark Visor'''
+:This may not be unskippable, but skipping it seems unlikely.
-- Needed to see and damage Ing Hive Caches holding sky temple keys.  Summised they only exist when the dark visor is on in a manner akin to how Omega Pirate is only damagable when X-ray is on in Metroid Prime 1.
+=== Dark Suit ===
-'''Light/Dark Beams, PBs, Super Missiles, Missiles, Bombs, Space Jump, Light Suit'''
+:The Dark Suit is required to skip the Annihilator beam.
-- All needed in multiple locations.  Chance of skipping these is likely 0.
-'''Translator Doors'''
+=== Dark Suit and Annihilator ===
-- Great Temple, Agon, and torvus translators required to reach later areas.  Sanctuary translator currently needed to reach spiderball region.
+:Though it has yet to be proven, it might be possible to skip Dark Suit instead of Annihilator using MBI.
+:Boost Guardian can be beaten using an early Power Bomb, so this would require skipping the Super Missile.
+:Quadraxis has yet to be tested.

-- The only known "skippable" required item(for %) is the Dark Suit but requires additional energy tank pickups to complete the game.
