There are many categories that people speedrun for Metroid Prime. The most popular ones are any%, 100%, and low%, just to name a few. All categories use any and all glitches, unless stated otherwise.

Any%

Beat the game using any route and collecting any amount of items.

100%

Beat the game while collecting all 100 items. This does not include scans as the final in-game percentage does not include them. This means you should have:

  • 14 Energy Tanks
  • 250 Missiles
  • 8 Power Bombs
  • All Upgrades

Routes

21%

See also: Low%

Beat the game while collecting the fewest number of items possible. The current lowest possible percentages for this category is 21%. This run actually collects 22 items, but is only 21% as Phazon Suit does not count as a percent. The list of required items to beat the game are as follows:

  • 12 Artifacts
  • Missile Launcher
  • Morph Ball
  • Morph Ball Bomb
  • Varia Suit
  • Wave Beam
  • Ice Beam
  • Plasma Beam
  • Power Bomb
  • X-Ray Visor
  • Phazon Suit

Routes

Max% No Space Jump

Beat the game while collecting as many items as possible, and skipping Space Jump Boots. This run ends up up with 98% instead of 99%, because Phazon Suit does not count as a percent.

Max% No Bombs

Beat the game while collecting as many items as possible, and skipping Morph Ball Bombs. This run ends up up with 98% instead of 99%, because Phazon Suit does not count as a percent.

Frigate Escape

The Frigate Escape category is timed by looking at the time displayed on the last frame of the escape before the cutscene begins.
