Manipulate a Pirate to climb to the top of the room on the left side. If Morph and X-Ray are available, morph on the top platform while waiting for the Pirate to climb up, triggering it to jump at a normalized height. Otherwise, crouch on the right platform second from the top, waiting for the Pirate to climb down, again triggering it to jump at a normalized height. In either case, freeze the Pirate near the center of the door, and use it to clip up through the door.

After jumping from right-to-left, Pirates will begin climbing up. After jumping from left-to-right, Pirates will begin climbing down. They will change direction when colliding with a block, or at random (with 50% chance) after climbing a distance of about 5 tiles. While climbing, they will fire a laser and jump across the room if the center vertical position of Samus and the Pirate differ by at most 32 pixels.
