Current Obstacles to Skipping Items

Last Updated 06/12/06

Unskippable Items

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

- 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. A Secret World in the acessable rooms which requires Bombs only would skip this item.

Violet Translator

Required for entering/leaving Agon

Items which can be skipped, but not for low %

Space Jump

I don't know where this would be required, but skipping it with all these other items seems unlikely...

Dark Suit

-The Dark Suit is required for the Annihilator skip.

Dark Suit and Annihilator

-Though it has to be proven yet, 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 to be tested yet.

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 is seemingly possible to skip Super Missiles, but it hasn't been done yet, because everybody hates Echoes.

-Skipping 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. So skipping Super Missile doesn't lower the lowest %.

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

Notes:

- Skippable Items are Grapple Beam, Space Jump, Annihilator, 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, for that triggers 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 Screw Attack early.
