Do I need to get the wave beam for 100% run ?

Simple question. Is picking up the wave beam required for 100%? I ask because it gets replaced by the ice beam anyway right?

As long as everyone else agrees, I think it is. It sounds like the rule we're sticking with is, if you can pick it up at least once, you have to get it.

Yeah, current ruling is that you do need to get Wave Beam. Note that Wave Beam does actually save time for the sections it's used in. How much exactly is hard to pin down since there's a random factor of missile drops from bugs in Ridley's Lair, but overall there are time savings from grabbing it.

Good to know, I've been meaning to try nestroid 100% recently
