From: 2
Right Door
To: 3
Bottom Platform Junction

Dive into the acid to the left of the first floating platform to quickly sink to the bottom of the room. It is possible to jump directly over the pirate at the bottom of the ramp directly to the gap between platforms. Falling in this way will land between platforms at the bottom of the room unless Samus slows or catches herself on the way down.
