Amphitheatre: Reverse Thread the Needle (Extreme)

Jump directly from the top door's ramp, through the pirates, to the far bottom left of the acid filled room. Begin running from the top of the second slope and jump at the bottom of the third slope, bonking the large stalagtite in the ceiling. Kill the first pirate with Screw Attack (or ahead of time with Charge+Plasma), and pass through the second pirate using a charged plasma shot. Alternatively, with a very low speed shortcharge, blue speed can kill both pirates. Enter the acid while aiming down to shrink Samus' hitbox. This strat works with all combinations of movement items and suits.
