dai basta seguir a cutscene, finalizar Mother Brain e fugir do planeta

The only real challenge were the boss fights, and I have one major tip in your routing -- Skip a normal energy tank you would normally get, because you only really need HP for the latter half of the bosses. The reason you wanna skip is to get the E-tank and Super missile pack in lower left Brinstar, because getting it while trying to get over the E tank is just easier (this game is doable with 35 supers, but 40 makes it less tedious)
Kraid: learning the quick kill is hilarious and sort of easy, you can smoke him with supers before he can even get out of bed. (I am trash and messed it up in the run, and i still one shot him)
Crocomire: Just use the charge beam. It much easier, especially if you have several beam upgrades:
Draygon: literally 3 steps and she's lunch -- blow up turrets, run into goop, kill her by grappling the wall. Doesn't take as much HP as you would think, i blocked attacks with my face and still one shot her. Having the varia and gravity gives you a good amount of damage negation.
DO NOT SPIN JUMP AFTER HE TURNS RED. He's trying grab you to do his death animation, and spin jumping makes him run away from you and attack more. You gotta jump into his hands to die, but when I did it in my run, I shot him so much he just exploded. So either is viable.
Before entering the elevator into Tourian: DO NOT USE SUPER MISSILES ON THE WAY THERE, OR ON THE METROIDS. There is a recharge station after the metroid baby cutscene, but it DOES NOT REFILL SUPERS, AND YOU ARE LOCKED IN TOURIAN UNTIL YOU KILL MOTHER BRAIN.
Mother Brain: Do the god strat of blowing up all the walls before you get to the glass, run out, go to the refill station, and then save the game. Makes redoing the fight much much easier.
The first phase you gotta freeze the donuts. Just dump all your regular missiles into the glass and brain, and if you're protecting yourself well, the little pellets will only do 5 hp so you should have 3 tanks going into the fight.
Brother, sit in the corner, and hold Charge. Jump to dodge the attacks, and JUMP LATE when she drops a bomb. Keep your eye's focus on the hand, and use your peripheral to watch the mouth. If you do all that and remember to jump late, getting no-hit isn't awful. Ridley is harder than mother brain. if she's charging her goof juice beam and you don't have 3 tanks, you're toast.
Look, I really suck, and didn't want to attempt this, but I did. and it went pretty swell. you can do it too.
It's not that hard.
Damn this was tough towards the end! Kraid and Phantoon were no different than a regular Playtrough and Ridley can be cheated with the VAR Beam Glitch.
But Mother Brainโฆ
To be fair, it didnโt take me that long, but still! Massive difficulty curve at the very end.
What I recommend when going trough her Chamber is obviously destroying the Gates and then going back to save. The Gates will be destroyed forever on that Savefile. After that, always wait until two or three of these rings have spawned in. After that, more wonโt spawn and you can get trough the Gates easier (mostly the one tile ones are the ones giving you trouble). When facing Mother Brain, just shoot Missiles at her and use your Screw Attack when the rings appear. For the next Phase, I switched to the Charge Beam until she started using those red fire attacks, thatโs when I switched back to normal Missiles (because it was easier to focus on dodging when using Missiles, at least for me). As for her attacks in that Phase, the only ones you should be concerned about are the red fire attack due to its Damage (but it can be dodged with your Screw Attack) and the blue projectiles as you cannot dodge them with a Screw Attack and will deal a good amount of damage.
Also, itโs important to note you can damage. You just cannot lose any of your Tanks (I actually only survived the Hyper Beam with 2 Energy remaining)
Ended with a time of 1:50 and 50% items collected. Mother Brain was the only boss that gave me trouble, but it was more just learning her attacks and dodging them, in the end I crystal flashed just before she did her final beam. Even managed to get the second-best escape time achievement at the same time.
So for anyone doubting their ability to do it, just try it, take your time, it's all very doable. Though naturally you should be very familiar with the game first.
I just held a charge shot and used screw attack to jump through her blue ring beam attack (you might have to time this jump with her mine detonating) and let the charge shot go after I jumped through the attack.
When she started to do the fire attack it was better, for me at least, to just stand on the ground holding a charge shot waiting her for hand to move back, once it does jump up to dodge the attack and shoot the charge shot.
You need 300 energy to survive her rainbow beam attack, you only need to tank one of those to get the hyper beam.
