Previous pbs leading up to this one: 13120, 13054, 12959 and 12951. The 129 was easier to achieve than initially thought as I found a massive route change for backtrack segment that saves 20 seconds. Entering the Lair for Heart of Fire immediately after Mother boss and thus only needing a total of 3 checkpoint visits as you travel across the levels and finishing with the Hive to kill the Queen before Primagen. As I kept grinding this I could see a 128 possibility along with my sum of best getting as low as 1282x as well. I even had one such run reaching the Lightship with 12848 best possible pace which unfortunately died unceremoniously but my main goal for a while though was to get a mid 129 as I felt that would be satisfactory. As mentioned most runs, especially runs on pace on Hardcore can die in extremely abrupt ways and it was starting to wear on me a bit. This run is by no means particularly brilliant to me. It's a run of two halves with the first being mediocre containing weird mistakes with the 2nd half much better and golding backtrack, sealing the deal on the mid 129. To sum it up i'm both happy that I achieved the goal but not entirely happy with the overal performance.

100% All statues is a category which collects all the items + visits every single statue in the game and collects every beam regardless of no beam stacking, the fact theres more than 1 of each beam in the game and that they respawn on their statues. It was made by myself and MetroidMcfly in response to the current 100% rules that reason, because of the above, that only ice beam is needed to deem it 100%, freeze the metroids and finish the game. We felt that it was only right that all statues should at least exist alongside regular 100% but adhere to the spirit of 100% by going to every item location put there by the developers and collecting whats there.
Happy to get this pb after some headaches along the way. Going back to the drawing board and simplifying some of the gamma fights was key to keeping composed and not choke one of them. Sub hour possible but would be a very hard run and may need some luck along the way.
