 The main differentiating factor in routing Any% is the boss order, notated by the first letter of each boss. The two primary routes runners use are KPDR (Kraid, Phantoon, Draygon, Ridley), and PRKD (Phantoon, Ridley, Kraid, Draygon).
-The KPDR route is highly recommended for beginners, since it is considered a much easier route to survive in. Many runners who are capable of the other routes will also run KPDR as a separate subcategory simply because optimizing the route it can be fun in itself.

 The PRKD route is faster than the KPDR route by roughly 85 seconds in real time (and equal Real Time runs are slower by a similar amount in game time in comparison); however, it is similar in difficulty to [[14%]], and is not recommended to begin with. Many experienced players would not recommend that you use the PRKD route until you have at least achieved a time below 50 minutes in the category with the KPDR route. In order to realize the route's timesave, runners must have sufficient mastery of the techniques required for the route. Much of the timesave comes from completing all of Norfair in a single pass, but this is offset by many of the individual rooms being slower due to the equipment loadout, such as navigating Wrecked Ship without Speed Booster, and Lower Norfair without Plasma Beam and Space Jump.

 A PKRD (Phantoon, Kraid, Ridley, Draygon) route is considered a slightly safer alternative to PRKD that is only roughly 12 seconds slower. With the PRKD route, the purpose of visiting Kraid's Lair after Lower Norfair is not only because it is faster to take care of with Speed Booster equipped than without, but because it (in particular, [[Mini-Kraid]]) serves as a great way to refill Super Missiles. For these reasons, in the PKRD route, compared to the PRKD route, about six seconds are lost due to the lack of Speed Booster for Kraid's Lair, and another six seconds are lost (potentially more or less due to the variability of drops) due to having to find some other means to acquire Super Missiles after Ridley. The obvious benefit of defeating Kraid before Ridley is that you will have Varia Suit, which will significantly reduce the amount of energy required to [[Gravity Jump]] into Lower Norfair. You will also consistently have more Super Missiles entering Norfair, which will make drops less of an issue on the path to Ridley, and will have the option to acquire Kraid's Energy Tank, which will allow you to have three Energy Tanks for Lower Norfair, and potentially skip later Energy Tanks such as Ridley's and Botwoon's.
