Scre Attack 15% Hard.

How are you supposed to get it without going through the heated rooms? I had to get a 3rd energy tank before I could get through them. Am I supposed to do that?

Get the Varia Suit early? There are missileblocks in the way to Screw Attack so I don't know if you can refill them nearby though.

Note: Varia is a REQUIRED item, so not one of the 6 optional percent. However, you always get it, if you don't pick it up in brinstar, it will be in your new suit you get at the end of the game.

Just get it in the beginning. Practice the IBJ's, it's not that hard. Three e tanks are too many for hard. Just get one. You want three s. missiles, the screw attack, and probably the high jump. Two tanks has no real benefit over one anyway, still two pirate hits and you're dead.

I prefer speed boost over high jump. Well, I guess the Tourian escape is hard without, but if you find a good route, it's easy as pie. Though the IBJ at the end is nerve racking. I always get to the top, jump, and it fades white.

I don't see any use for the speed booster besides the tourian escape. Hi-jump, on the other hand, makes several bosses (kraid, MB) easier, and feels more natural to space jump with.

Just a personal preference.

Scre attack... Heh, is it bad that it looks like "Skree Attack"?

Massive shortcut @ pirate ship escape? Faster time, since you will be speed boosting at some places... and you can use the MB glitch to charge a spineshark at the beginning of the tourian escape... it's more usefull for speed then high jump I think.

Varia's required... Oops. I forgot about that. I've been beating the game on 15% and not getting Varia until I get the fully powered suit! I've been beating Kraid, Ridley and MB without Varia.... DOH! I'm such an eejit.

Before Screw Attack (screw, not scre, was a tybo) there are two heated rooms. One behind where you get the High Jump and one where your supposed to use Speed Booster but can IBJ around it. I didn't have Varia so I found v difficult to get through them intact.
