+= Zebetite Glitch =
 The '''Zebetite glitch''', also known as "Zebetite skip" (typically shortened to "Zeb skip"), allows for bypassing the Zebetites preceding [[Mother Brain]]. By passing through the first or second Zebetite (without destroying it), it causes all remaining Zebetites to not spawn. This saves over a minute in categories where minimal ammo is acquired, conserving both ammo and potentially health compared to trying to bust through the Zebetites.
@@ Line 22: / Line 22: @@
 Getting the Zebetite Skip is dependent on Samus's subpixel positioning. Both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) subpixel values can cause the skip to fail sometimes, even is the technique is performed correctly. Setups that normalize the x and/or y subpixels can increase the rate of success.

 If you do not have [[Wave Beam]], such as in [[14% Ice]], freezing the Rinka below the Zebetite is a bit trickier. The main difference is that you will need to fire directly up at the Rinka from below its location before attempting to spin through the Zebetite.

 In Randomizer, if you have only Plasma and Ice without Wave, you will need to either turn Plasma off, or crouch and aim up for this to work.

 If you have [[Screw Attack]] enabled, such as in [[100%]], [[GT Classic]], and [[RBO|Reverse Boss Order]], it will affect how you can perform the Zebetite skip. Because spinjumping with Screw Attack equipped will reset your invulnerability, passing through the Zebetite by freezing a Rinka without spinjumping is only possible by performing one of the methods below.

 This method normalizes the x subpixel to a "good" value and, if the player can execute the downback correctly in a "good frame", then the y subpixel will also be in a "good" value. Therefore, this setup depends only on the player and can be up to 100% consistent.

 When you finish the Mother Brain fight, you'll see the message on-screen "Time bomb set! Escape immediately!" In most categories you'll have [[Hi-Jump Boots]], so if you do a full jump along the left wall when you see the entire word "Escape" come on screen, you should be able to hold left and leave the room while the timer still reads 03'00"00. Hold Angle Down as you leave the room so you can shoot the first set of barriers as soon as the next room loads.
