View source for IBBF Early Sun Route

The '''IBBF Early Sun''' route is an [[Any%]] route that does the [[IBBF]] wallcrawl and [[Early Artifact of Sun]]. It was formerly the fastest known real time-viable Any% route but has since been superseded by the [[Metroid Prime/Double IS Route|Double IS Route]]. The route features single-trip Phazon Mines and requires players either to perform [[Spiderless Shafts]] or to get [[Spider Ball]].

The fastest single-segment time anyone has achieved with this route is T3's 0:53, which still stands as the tied world record despite this route no longer being the fastest.

== Naming ==
The route is named as such because it requires players to perform the [[Ice Beam Before Flaahgra]] (IBBF) [[wallcrawl]] as well as obtain the [[Artifact of Sun]] along with [[Wave Beam]]. The "Early Sun" part of the name distinguishes it from the older [[IBBF route]] which did not acquire the Artifact of Sun early.
