Basically what Hitaka posted. LOTS of rolling and shinesparks. I agree about the crane room in Sector 3 btw.
About my clean-up routes.
Sector 2: Pretty straight foward. I grabbed the missile in the water w/o gravity to save time. Started with butterfly when you exit Gravity rooms. Worked my way up north and so on. Took elevator and killed second butterfly. On to Sector 3.
Sector 3: Started off with butterfly in the room where you save Anthony. Backtracked to the Ridley morph ball shoot and then worked my way to the second butterfly. I'm not sure if it's been posted but in the north/south room with the exhaust things that shoot fire, it's possible to get shinespark back up and grab the missile where the door bug happens. After that, finish clean up and go take the 4 grapples in the big lava room to the north side. Grab second grapple towards Ridley and take the morph ball shoot again.
Sector 1: I posted my route on page 10. Everything went well. I'll give your route a go through Hitaka btw.
Sub 4:50 should be within grasp. Sub 4:40 MAY be a bit ambitious but I'm not ruling it out. I know I'm not the best player. Phantoon is a joke with all upgrades. Took me about 2:15 to take him out. All other bosses were smooth. Nightmare 1/2 I take out near the doors with optimal boss patterns. I managed 2 lethal strikes on Ridley. Seeker missile bosses all managed to get a lethal strike on. Metroid Queen could've been better. I missed 2 seeker missiles in her second phase but I took it cause her first phase went really well. Escape time wasn't the best. I think it was around 2:30 or 2:29. I can't remember. I used logitech's Generator Room trick in Sector 2 but not the platform trick. I also didn't use Paraxade's bomb shortcuts. Pretty tricky stuff!
