I don't know if you know this trick already, this is my second post, but it isn't used in the fastest speedrun so I guess you don't know it. During the game press START and than press both A and up on a second controller. You will see a password and when you press start, you'll be at the begin of the current area, with all the powerups you found. So if you have beaten Kraid, use this trick and you will be at the elevator. I hope you can use it.
