+For any%, missiles early on save a significant amount of time. The viable missile tanks to collect are listed below.
 . Missile tank on Main Deck, in the dark shaft after getting Missiles, in plain sight on the right side.
@@ Line 57: / Line 57: @@
 . Missile tank on Sector 3, notoriously named BOB as it is unskippable on console. You can't miss this.
-. Missile tank on Main Deck, on the bottom floor of the animals room, after saving the animals.
+. Missile tank on Sector 6, in the second room after the recharge room by bombing the left wall.
-. Missile tank on the Main Deck, found by speed boosting into the left wall of the Main Elevator that goes down to the sector selection hall.
+. Missile tank on Main Deck, on the bottom floor of the animals room, after saving the animals.
-The first three missile tanks give just enough missiles to reliably complete sector 1 and 2 without heavily relying on missile drops. BOB is unskippable. The only time missiles are really needed before Missile Tank #5 is during the meltdown segment, and having 15-20 missiles is more than enough. Missile Tank #5 and #6 are collected as they save time against Yakuza, Nettori and, Nightmare, and both missile tanks cost little time.
+. Missile tank on Main Deck, found by speed boosting into the left wall of the Main Elevator that goes down to the sector selection hall.
-==== Back-Up ====
+. Missile tank on Main Deck, just past the spitter room. Use a power bomb to uncover the path to it.
-The missile tanks below are missile tanks collected if a certain strategy fails; they can also be collected if the player wishes to get more missiles than the ones above.
+. Missile tank on Main Deck, in the large room just before Yakuza with the space pirates.
-. In the first visit to Sector 1, missile management is fairly important. 25 should be more than enough, but on an occasional bad run, you might use too many and get no refills. If you find you're out of missiles after destroying the third atmospheric stabilizer (in the bottom-right of the sector), you might opt to grab the tank in the upper-left room. It's the most costly back-up tank, but being out of missiles before the eye door costs much more.
+The first three missile tanks give just enough missiles to reliably complete sector 1 and 2 without heavily relying on missile drops. BOB is not skippable. Thus the first four missile tanks are always collected, leaving you with 30 missile capacity. This gives reliably enough missiles to clear the entire mid-game until after Yakuza.
-. After fighting BOX, and going to sector 6 after, there is a chance that the player will not have enough missiles to take out the super missile barrier. If this is the case, and the player messes up shinesparking through the super missile barrier, then the fastest back-up strat is to bomb the wall to the left of the barrier and collect the missile tank there, rather than collecting drops and refills.
+Using optimal strategies, the least costly to most time-consuming missile tanks after BOB are as follows <ref name="Damage">Dump of missile collection data by kirbymastah - https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/any_missile_expansion_data_dump.html</ref>:
-. An extra missile tank can be collected, depending on the player's luck. On the main deck, in the dark hall with the spitter enemies in the ceiling, before returning to the ship after power bombs, if the player is unable to obtain a speed boost due to enemy placement, then it is faster for the player to simply power bomb the next room and collect the missile tank in the way. This is a good backup strategy as it does not require redoing the speed boost, and the extra missile tank saves time against Nettori and makes Nightmare slightly easier on missile count.
+* Missile Tank 5 - 4 seconds 8 frames. This is the fastest missile tank to get, but also the hardest as it requires a very difficult spring ball out of the ledge for it to be faster. This is also useful as a backup in case you fail the shinespark the barrier in sector 6, or don't have enough missiles to destroy it.
-. If the player wants another missile tank, there is one hidden in a morph ball tunnel in the space pirate room just before fighting Yakuza.
+The ideal number of missile tanks to get after BOB is one of the above, but this can be very straining on nettori and nightmare and even yakuza, so 40 is generally the standard.

 ** If you have over 300 health, you can skip waiting for the SA-X. Refer to the 100% section on how to do it, but if you are good enough to do the SA-X skip, then you are good enough to skip some of the e-tanks you have.
