I managed to finish my first North Korean run in Super Metroid!
quick explanation
In Super Metroid there are 4 main bosses you have to defeat to access the final boss and beat the game: Kraid, Phantoon, Draygon and Ridley.Speedrunning routes through the game are commonly abbreviated by the initials of the order of bosses you kill, so DPRK (or North Korea%) is one possible route... though it is entirely a meme route because it means doing the underwater area without the item you REALLY want for it
Maybe we need a category in which you only kill Phantoon, Ridley and Crocomire next
Is it possible to do any boss order now? I've heard of reverse order but never a DPRK run.
If you're enough of a masochist then any boss order is possible, yup!
