Thanks to Dragonfangs, CScottyW, and the Zero Mission community for various room strats and ideas.

GENERAL NOTES
-----------------------------
*Items: All majors, 4 energy tanks, 40 missiles, 8 super missiles, 12 power bombs (36%)
*Far from perfect, wanted to showcase some researched strats and find a more optimal ammo loadout
*I did not manipulate enemy/boss patterns, only drops
*You can do only 3 energy tanks before Tourian (need 215 energy minimum to survive all the heated rooms) but you are beholden to drops between the Ridley fight and caterpillars; one less e-tank would also make 2-hit early PBs required if doing gate clip
*Could maybe skip 1 missile tank (guarantees farm required before Acid Worm, already a decent possibility with this loadout)
*Zeb skip with Wave Beam sucks
*Late Acid Worm might be viable but drop luck becomes even more important in cleanup, not sure if faster
*Any and all door bonks intended to induce rage
*Let me know if there's anything big I missed or maybe didn't consider
