*1 [[Power Bomb]] Pack ([[List of Power Bombs#Brinstar 1|Red Brinstar Elevator (Lower)]]) (to open orange doors)

== Route ==

PRKD is the optimal boss order for many of the same reasons as for Any%, although the advantage of doing Kraid after Ridley comes mostly from ammo management reasons as a result of not picking up Speed Booster.

PKRD is the next-most optimal order, with the advantage as with Any% of having both Varia Suit and Kraid's E-Tank for Lower Norfair.

For runners looking to complete the category, a KPRD boss order allows for fighting Phantoon with Varia, and up to 3 energy tanks, making it much easier to survive the fight.

If you have 3 e-tanks upon entering Maridia, you will need to skip the Botwoon e-tank by sinking partway into the sand to go under the first set of Speed Booster blocks and then jumping up into the morph tunnel.

== Tutorials ==

[http://www.twitch.tv/zoasty/v/46737316 Zoast] - The beginning of the tutorial can also be applied to [[Any%#PRKD|PRKD any%]] and [[14% Speed]], but the tutorial does not explain certain techniques such as the [[14%#Techniques|in-room moat CWJ setup]], [[Phantoon#Phantoon First|Phantoon doppler]], [[Charge Beam Combos#Ice Shield|Ice Shield]] on [[Ridley#14% Ice|Ridley]]/[[Draygon#14% Ice|Draygon]], and elevator pause as it was created before these techniques were developed.
