Im on about my third run through of the game and I have a few basic questions about the game.

1 - Does the clock increase while the game is on the map screen?

2 - How on earth do you beat the two black space pirates right before the escapse ship? I have reached a point where I can kill the final boss in about 10 seconds but most of the time I get mashed by the pirates.

3 - What items am I allowed to collect for a low percent run? I am assuming space jump and power grip are optional?

No.

Check out TFergusson's 15% Hard run posted on the main page for MZM here. He has a good strategy for passing those pirates.

Space Jump is required. How else would you get through Kraid's lair?

As far as I know, the Power grip is required too. There's an area somewhere (not sure where) that a bomb jump trick won't work.


You can skip the Screw Attack and High Jump Boots though. At least, I think you can skip the screw attack o_O I've beaten the game without the high jump boots many times already. It's difficult when you're running from the first time bomb, but it's all possible.

lol no way
The spacejump w/o screw attack is disorienting... just slowly goes backward.
