Since I made a map of all of Zebes from Super Metroid, I thought I would do this one as I was curious.

There isn't anything special about this path, and it's really the path to take for optimum speed. I watched many speed runs and learned what I could do in Super Metroid to get my time really low.

And as of right now my record for this path is 42 minutes clear time, and around 36% items.

Now I do some of the basic stuff:
I perform the "Mockball" glitch to get the Super Missle early, thus letting me skip the mid-boss Spore Spawn.
I get the Spazer Beam right as I pass it.
I fight Kraid before I get the Highjump Boots, and I can speed kill Kraid so he is even unable to rise.
In Norfair I acquire the Highjump Boots, Speed Booster, Wave Beam, and Ice Beam all before going to the Wrecked Ship.
This also leads to skipping the mid-boss Crocmire, and skipping the Grapple Beam.
I use the "short boost" glitch to to get a shinespark charge to get into the Wrecked Ship without the Grapple Beam.
I can speed kill Phantoon in three rounds thanks to beam swapping.
I know a good route through Maridia, and the knowledge to grind for Super Missles to defeat Draygon easily and quickly even without the Grapple Beam.
From here on things are a normal run, but I do take advantage of Golden Torizo's AI flaw.

Now with all that you can see how many rooms are skipped, I mean there's a HUGE chunk of Norfair that you don't even need to visit.
