14% GravPb is one of the theoretical [[14%]] categories that is yet to have a known, recorded, RTA completion. A total of 14 items are picked up during the entire run and focuses on using Gravity Suit and Power Bombs for level progression.

This category is possible due to [[10 Missile Zebetite Kill|being able to kill Zebetites with only 10 missiles]], and by a PAL-only method to get through pre-Botwoon's room with Gravity, Hi-Jump Boots, and a Reserve Tank. It is not known how RTA-viable this pre-Botwoon method is.

==Prerequisites==
To finish this run, you need to know how to:
*[[Mockball]]
*Infinite [[Bomb Jump|bomb jump]]
*[[Continuous walljump]] and/or [http://www.twitch.tv/sweetnumb/v/41083555 horizontal] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJuA8TgUGpc bomb jump] over [[The Moat|the moat]]
*Get through pre-Botwoon with Gravity Suit, Hi-Jump Boots, and a Reserve Tank
*[[14%#Techniques|Gravity jump]] (entering Lower Norfair)
*[[10 Missile Zebetite Kill|Destroy Zebetites while only using 10 missiles]]

==Collected Items==

*[[Morphing Ball]]
*Bombs
*[[Charge Beam]] (for bosses)
*[[Gravity Suit]] (for Maridia navigation)
*Varia Suit (to survive [[Mother_Brain#MB2|MB2's]] rainbow beam)
*2 [[Energy Tank|Energy Tanks]] (to survive [[Mother_Brain#MB2|MB2's]] rainbow beam)
*1 [[Reserve Tank]] (to get through pre-Botwoon's room and survive [[Mother_Brain#MB2|MB2's]] rainbow beam)
*2 [[Missile]] Pack (to open red doors, defeat [[Mother_Brain#MB1|MB1]], and destory Zebetites)
*2 [[Super Missile]] Packs (to open green doors and defeat MB1)
*2 [[Power Bomb]] Pack (to open orange doors and CF clip to Botwoon)

Additionally, 1+2 Energy+Reserve Tanks may be easier, but the current best (PAL) method for the Zebetite kill is easier with 2 Energy Tanks.

==Theoretical Route==

Collect Morph, Alpha Missiles, Bombs, Terminator Energy Tank, Early Supers, Brinstar Reserve, and Charge Beam.

Get Alpha Power Bombs, CWJ across the Moat, and get Wrecked Ship Supers Left and Gravity Suit.

Go down to Norfair and get Hi-Jump Boots.

Proceed through Maridia.

Perform the strat with Gravity Suit, Hi-Jump Boots, and a Reserve Tank to get to Botwoon. (TODO: Add the clip and smv of this, I have it just need to upload.)

Get Botwoon's Energy Tank, and proceed through the rest of Maridia.

Kill Kraid, and get Varia Suit.

Lava dive, and go to kill Ridley.

Go to Tourian, and kill the Metroids with power bombs (by leaving Tourian to get more power bombs). Enter the end part of Tourian with 10/10 ammo.

Kill the first Zebetite using a super missile. Perform the 10 Missile Zebetite Kills. Then defeat Mother Brain and escape.

-The wiki does not allow uploading an smv file. So it is available upon request in the Discord, until someone tells me a different way to make it available.
+Based off minimal tests, it seemed to require 1 Energy Tank and 2 Reserve Tanks, so the Reserve Tank automatic refill lasted long enough. This doesn't really make sense with how long i-frames should last, so it might be more likely that attempts with 1 Reserve Tank were just unlucky. Further investigations are needed.
