name: "Min ammo spent".

Glitches banned: Out of Bounds, Wrongwarps, Spacetime beam and GT Code.

the idea is that you must beat the game using only the minimum ammo thats really necessary for progression. that means everything you only use ammo is doors or blocks that are mandatory IF there's no other way around available and enemies must be killed with charge beam, the only exception being mother brain 1 that needs ammo but even then the bare minimum needed to kill MB1 is 9 missiles and 9 Supers.

i recorded a run test even though i messed up and spent an extra PB in the Glass Tunnel and made a reset but then i decided to continue the run just to have an example of the idea after the Glass Tunnel part, i also made some saves just for safety because i already had in mind just recording it as a test run but obviously no save would be needed during a real run, if anyone wants to checkout the idea.

PS: the only restriction on collecting items is if they are locked or not behind an ammo door as every upgrade not mandatory behind a ammo door is not to be colleceted (the only exception is Ice because its mandatory), for instance i had to collect the 5 available E-tanks but if you are good enough to go with just 3 or 4 to save time then go ahead.

alphabetical reverse boss order

no new game+ (that also means no stir of dawn bosses)

this idea is based on Super Metroid extended category "alphabetical boss order", just here its the reverse and the last boss is not included in the alphabetical equation, so the go mode would be "kill the bosses in this order then go to escribas".

the only problem with this idea os quirce, because you cant reach him before melquiades, so i was thinking to let him be the exception for the sake of the run, this way the bosses order should be something like this:

1-Warden of the Silent Sorrow

2-Tres Angustias

3-Ten Piedad

4-Sierpes

5-Our Lady of the Charred Visage

6-Melquíades the Exhumed Archbishop

7-Quirce Returned by the Flames

8-Isidora Voice of the Dead

9-Expósito Scion of Abjuration

10-Esdras, of the Anointed Legion

11-Crisanta of the Wrapped Agony

the only challenge i had when i tried this was traversing Mourning and Havoc this early with few upgrades and isidora itself

Alternative: make this category for the version 1.0.6, it will exclude Isidora and Sierpes from equation but it would be able to access quirce in the correct order
