The Randomizer Low% route is a theoretical route that could only be realized in a randomizer setting. The route obtains the three beams to make it possible to kill Metroid Prime (Exo), Phazon Suit to make it possible to kill Metroid Prime (Essence), Space Jump to make it possible to enter multiple secret worlds, and the 12 artifacts. This is 17 items, but since Phazon Suit doesn't count for a percent, it would be a 16% run.

It has been theorized that activating infinite speed by way of the where's the room glitch in the Crater Missile Station would allow the Metroid Prime (Exo) fight to be skipped. This would allow Wave Beam and Ice Beam to be dropped from the route, but it would add Morph Ball and Boost Ball as requirements, so it would still be a 16% run.
