Using the knockback from taking enemy damage to give Samus a large movement boost by holding the jump and backwards buttons. By changing the timing of the directional input, the way that Samus is knocked back can be changed and has situational uses. Holding forward will knock Samus backwards and down. Holding jump but delaying the back button delays the horizontal damage boost to gain some neutral boost first. Very quickly releasing back and pressing forward will give a forward boost.

Stay out of the water, and by extension the sand, of the room by using the spikes as platforms. Morphing before landing on the spikes helps to be able to control the knockback.

Place the first bomb between about 4 and 6 frames after the spring ball jump; ideally it should be just above the water line. Press pause between about 5 and 10 frames after placing the bomb, to disable Spring Ball (a 'spring fling', to reset fall speed).

Jump to the floating platform ahead of the high Rinka, jumping extra high to lead the Metroid out of the way if it is alive. Jump into the Rinka once it reaches the left edge of the platform to reach the next platform. Then use i-frames to pass through the Metroid if it is still alive. Requires: { "notable": "Rinka Damage Boost" } { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Rinka", "type": "contact", "hits": 1 } } "canTrickyJump" "canHorizontalDamageBoost" "canCameraManip" { "or": [ { "obstaclesCleared": [ "A" ] }, { "and": [ "canMetroidAvoid", "canUseIFrames" ] } ] } { "or": [ "canInsaneJump", { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Rinka", "type": "contact", "hits": 1 } }, { "and": [ "canTrickyJump", "canLateralMidAirMorph" ] }, { "and": [ "Gravity", { "acidFrames": 16 } ] }, { "acidFrames": 27 } ] } |
Safely kill the first pirate, then walk through the rest while taking damage or by using Plasma Beam. It is possible to get through the lower three pirates with a single hit while using i-frames to prevent a second hit. Either go below the pirates and use the camera to manipulate them to be closer together, or arm-pump or horizontal damage boost to get through them fast enough. Requires: { "or": [ "HiJump", "canWalljump", "h_canFly" ] } { "or": [ { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Tourian Space Pirate (all)", "type": "contact", "hits": 3 } }, { "and": [ "Plasma", "canHitbox" ] }, { "and": [ "canUseIFrames", { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Tourian Space Pirate (all)", "type": "contact", "hits": 2 } }, { "or": [ "canCameraManip", "canHorizontalDamageBoost" ] }, "canTrickyJump" ] } ] } |
Run through the pirates while taking damage or by using Plasma Beam. It is possible to get through the lower three pirates with a single hit while using i-frames to prevent a second hit. Either wait above until the pirates are a bit closer together and then run through, or arm-pump or horizontal damage boost to get through them fast enough. Requires: { "or": [ { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Tourian Space Pirate (all)", "type": "contact", "hits": 4 } }, { "and": [ "Plasma", "canHitbox" ] }, { "and": [ "canUseIFrames", { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Tourian Space Pirate (all)", "type": "contact", "hits": 3 } }, { "or": [ "canCameraManip", "canHorizontalDamageBoost" ] } ] } ] } |
