It is possible to go through super Metroid without killing a single enemy outside rooms where you are forced to do so.

I am finishing up a playthrough where in order to reduce casualties caused in rooms that lock until you slay the occupants, I skipped the gravity suit and took highjump boots instead.

If someone skilled has a guess at what route might work best for this I would like to hear ideas. I am somewhat familiar with the speedrun routes from watching your videos and reading a ton on the deanyd speedrun wiki by deer tier

I am not recording my endeavor because it is on console, too poorly executed to be worth watching, and I am upping the difficulty by only using bomb beam combos to defeat enemies when forced (including bosses) and missiles prior to acquiring power bombs (just after getting the first missiles you have to kill space pirates, and it makes bomb torizo a little bit harder if you don't use the power beam at all). This means almost all ammo used comes from Samus ship and requires a ton of backtrack.
