	Afterward, two shinesparks should finish Draygon off. Ideally, you would be given a mucus cycle right after the initial swoop, so that you can charge the first of the two shinesparks right before Draygon floats on-screen, and charge the second right after Draygon is done spraying mucus, leaving just enough time to jump and activate it in front of Draygon. This is what is sometimes referred to as "two with blue" (explained in Mackemagi's tutorial at the bottom of the page), which means Draygon is defeated in only two rounds total (one swoop, one mucus).

	Draygon's body is made of four distinct hitboxes. ~~An optimal shinespark will hit both the top and upper-middle hitboxes to maximize the number of frames that~~ Samus is ~~passing through~~ Draygon.		Draygon's body is made of four distinct hitboxes. The belly hitbox is special: if Samus is touching the belly, then she will not collide with Draygon at all, even if she's touching another hitbox. The hitboxes are not quite symmetrical with Draygon's facing direction:

	[[File:~~Draygon_Hitboxes~~.png]]		[[File:Draygon_Hitboxes_Worse.png\|600px]]

			Draygon takes 150 damage for each frame that Samus is touching at least one of her hitboxes (and not her belly). An optimal shinespark will hit both the top and upper-middle hitboxes to maximize the number of frames that Draygon takes damage.

	A potentially faster alternative to performing three shinesparks is to perform two shinesparks and utilize ballistics (primarily Super Missiles) instead of performing a third shinespark. It has the potential to conserve energy at the expense of ammunition, and can guarantee at least a three round kill independent of patterns provided.

	When executed properly, the opener should deal around 3000 damage to Draygon, with the maximum normally being 3450 as shown by the example video. [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/27381557 A few runners (video by StaticNine) have hit for 3600], [https://youtu.be/rwBokkdWL7Y?t=360 ShinyZeni has a setup that will do this much damage optimally consistently]		When executed properly, the opener should deal around 3000 damage to Draygon, with the maximum normally being 3450 as shown by the example video.

This more-damaging opener is usually considered suboptimal for modern speedruns, because the extra ammo cost of the 3450 opener is usually negligible when compared to the risk of an overkill and subsequent chain damage from the 3600 opener.

If this happens, Samus will likely die due to chain damage (since Samus has no iframes in crystal flash). The chances of a successful goop ranges between 67% to 99.997% depending on Samus's position in the room and the direction Draygon is gooping from. The below color-coded image indicates the odds of a successful goop for each position in the room (green means Samus is more likely to be grabbed by Draygon from this position).
