The '''Double IS route''', or the '''IBBFAF route,''' is the current fastest known real time-viable [[Any%]] route for Metroid Prime. This route has the unusual distinction of being both the fastest route and the "beginners route" due to its modularity; players can skip some or all of the difficult tricks in the route without changing its structure. The vast majority of current players, no matter their skill, use this route.

The fastest single-segment time anyone has achieved with this route is T3's 0:49, which is the current world record.

Additionally T3's run also broke the [[Frigate Escape]] record with a time of 5:35:35.

The route is named as such because it requires players to perform the [[infinite speed]] (IS) glitch twice: once to get the [[Artifact of Sun]], and again to get the [[Power Bomb Expansion]] in [[Magma Pool]]. It is sometimes jokingly known as the '''[[IBBFAF]] route''' due to the fact that players perform the [[Ice Beam Before Flaahgra]] (IBBF) [[wallcrawl]] after Flaahgra (AF).

It is commonly suggested that the harder tricks should be added back into the route in order of increasing difficulty and increasing time savings. This leads to the suggestion that players learn and incorporate the tricks in this order: Spiderless Shafts --> Wave/Sun IS --> IBBFAF --> Exo Skip <--> Early Newborn.
