Green Brinstar Main Shaft: Bottom Ice Clip (Extreme)

Break the bomb block at the bottom right of the main shaft. Bring a Zeela down to the bottom of the room. Morph inside the tunnel, take a Zeela hit, then jump, aim down, and shoot to freeze the Zeela as it starts to move up and while Samus is close to landing. Jump and aim down to get on top of the Zeela. If the Zeela is precisely positioned exactly 12 pixels above the ground, you can press up to make Samus stand; Otherwise, if you have X-ray, then the Zeela should be frozen lower, and you can morph and unmorph and use X-ray to force Samus to stand up; in this case there is a 6-pixel window over which it works, with the Zeela being between 4 and 9 pixels above the ground. In either case, after standing up on top of the Zeela, jump and aim down to break the crumble block. Then, before the crumble respawns, morph and use Spring Ball (if available) to jump back up and into the tunnel; without Spring Ball, a quick mid-air morph also works but is more difficult.
