 Tier I items affect whether each other item in Tier I will drop proportionally to the size of their drop rates. For example, a Waver has a 2%, 24%, 24%, 24%, 24%, and 4% chance to drop nothing, a Missile, a Small Energy, a Large Energy, a Super Missile, and a Power Bomb respectively.

 The chance for Power Bombs to drop will not increase as unfortunately, the chance for Tier II items to drop cannot be increased by any means. For example, if you are full on everything except Power Bombs and kill a Metroid (which has a 12% chance to drop Power Bombs), that 12% chance is not increased - effectively, everything is converted to nothing. Assuming the probability of occurrence is the same for every low byte of the RNG address' value from 1 (instead of 0) to 255, which generally would be a false although just slightly inaccurate assumption since generally - e.g. when the random number generation process is caged in a finite cycle of RNG values with fixed order of occurrence - the frequency at which these different low bytes occur is not constant but variable and hence dependent on the particular low byte value, the drop rates for Super Missiles and Power Bombs are constant - they are not affected by Tier I, but can affect Tier I as explained previously.

 As described in the technical explanation linked above, during a health bomb there is a small chance of some enemies dropping Nothing even if they normally cannot drop Nothing.
-== Why is the drop rate out of 102%? ==
+=== Why is the drop rate out of 102%? ===
 The game stores nearly everything as a hexadecimal value and the drop chance for an enemy can have 2 characters at most. Theoretically, this means that if an enemy were only able to drop nothing, the chance of it dropping nothing would be FF accordingly. FF as a hexadecimal value equals 255 in the standard decimal system.

-If you receive an energy drop that puts you above 50 energy, but then dip below 50 energy again (even if you dip below 50 energy but not 30 energy) before the next drop is generated, you will still receive energy as the next drop. This is because the game only changes the flag for energy drops upon a drop being generated.

 Although the low energy alarm does begin at 30, the game will not force energy drops upon you until it goes below 30.
