I did end up taking that save because getting the Missiles and Kraid himself are both more frustrating than anything other than Metroids. It seems that the less items I end up using bosses just end up more tricky and luck based, but I am prepared to reset a lot for this run, and it should end up faster.
Anyway, here is a trick that I am probably going to implement into my run because I need to save at the end of Norfair anyway to abuse more luck. The first shinespark is tough to do, but I figured out how to get the second one to work. This is even more difficult than platforming fast to conserve the shinespark again though in my opinion.
