 Similar to the Mochtroid clip, the ability to freeze enemies has a great usefulness in 14% categories with Ice Beam. Players can cause certain enemies such as [[Sciser|Scisers]] to fall off of surfaces by firing a Super Missile at the surface. Players can then freeze the enemy in midair as it descends down and jump onto these enemies, effectively using enemies as stepping stones to reach otherwise inaccessible areas.

 The two objectives that remain, and require some assortment of additional items, are (1) '''traversing Maridia''' and (2) defeating '''Ridley''' and phase 2 of '''Mother Brain'''.

 Excluding Chargeless, each 14% category is named by its unique item(s). Since the first two categories both collect [[Gravity Suit]], their names reflect the other major item they acquire - 14% '''Ice''' acquires [[Ice Beam]], and 14% '''Speed''' collects [[Speed Booster]]. 14% '''xIce''' acquires both Ice Beam and [[X-Ray Scope]], with X-Ray Scope's only required usage being to escape [[Draygon's Eye Door Room|Draygon's entry chamber]] by [[X-Ray Climb|X-Ray climbing]] from the lower door to the upper door.

 Conventionally destroying Zebetites in [[Mother Brain Room]] would call for at least five packs' worth of Missiles and Super Missiles, generally increasing collection percentage to 15%. Five packs are only collected in [[14% xAmmo]] and, mootly, [[14% SuperChargeless]]. Ammo underflow in the latter and also other Chargeless categories trivializes this problem, though.
-[[Mother Brain Room#Ice Beam (Low%)|For 14% categories that acquire Ice Beam]], players who are already used to the [[Mother Brain Room#Ice Beam|common method of the Zebetite skip]] (using Ice Beam without [[Screw Attack]] equipped) should be fairly used to this. Because you don't have [[Wave Beam]], you will have to stand under the platform of the first Zebetite, against the wall, and fire an Ice beam shot at the location the Rinka spawns at the moment it spawns, then execute the skip like normal.
+The most generally available technique in Low% categories is the recently discovered [[10 Missile Zebetite Kill]] ''(see which)''. This is required in categories such as [[14% xGravity]], and which moreover enables also 13% categories, in particular [[13% xCharge]]. Skipping Zebetites rather than destroying them is however usually preferrable.
-[[Mother Brain Room#Speed Booster|For 14% categories with Speedbooster]], the player must be able to charge a shinespark using the distance of the floor between the two rooms, and then shinespark underneath the platform of the first Zebetite, releasing it up+left. As the shinespark ends, mashing jump while holding down will allow the player to escape the Zebetite.
