Pseudo Screw the first ground hopper and focus fire on it until it dies while taking 2-3 hits. Kill the ceiling hopper while on the ground, crouched near the stair for some safety, or with Morph without risk. The third hopper can be killed with another Pseudo Screw with pause abuse, a Morph dodge, or a dodge by jumping over it while it lunges towards Samus.

Junction At Middle Right Door With Bottom KiHunter Cleared

Top Junction Between Doors

Manipulate the Three KiHunters to avoid all of them when entering the room from the Save room door. Stop on a dime on entry for positioning, because it is precise. Wait 1 second then run or Morph and roll left, past the swooping kihunter. Quickly jump to the higher level and run into the left wall. Wait there for half a second; it helps to jump into the wall. The 2 KiHunters should be grouped above Samus and out of the way.

Hidden Right Item

Requires getting back on Mama Turtle while she is at the right. The safest way is to have a normalized fall speed with either a full height jump or falling from the ledge above. If suitless, walking off the right ledge when she hits the left wall can be a good indicator to help land on her safely. Shrinking Samus' hitbox after touching the turtles back will also usually help. While near the right wall, shoot the item and grab it. If the shot misses, carefully fall back down and safely land on Mama Turtle again. After grabbing the item, fall on her again to avoid taking a hit; jump to the left at the top of the ride to escape the water safely.

Junction Below Sand Entrance
To: 1
Left Door

If entering from the sandfall above, come in at the far left of the transition, with either a spin-jump or i-frames, to avoid the Evir shot; land on the right side of the pillar to the left, being careful to not bring left Evir on camera. If coming from the right side of the room, then moonwalk on the center pillar to scroll the camera as far right as possible, to avoid getting hit by an Evir shot; alternatively, jump slightly to the left and freeze the Evir, then return back to the center pillar before jumping across the sand. Freeze the right Evir and jump onto it. Quickly move left and fire an angle-down shot to freeze the left Evir before it descends too far. Jump onto the left Evir, back up to the right side of it to maximize space to build momentum, and jump to the left onto the sand and then onto the ledge. If Samus does not quite get enough height to make it onto the ledge, then break spin, turn around to the right, land on the sand again, and do a turnaround spin-jump to the left. If the Evirs descend too far, it is possible to use a Power Bomb to bring them back up again, but caution is needed to avoid killing the first Evir, and it is difficult to avoid getting shot.

On the left side of the raised platform, jump for max height. Lateral Midair Morph for horizontal momentum, and perform the springball jump the moment before touching the sandfall. Pause again to disable springball as soon as possible.

Perform multiple stationary lateral mid-air morphs, while avoiding the Evir projectiles, to cross the room. It is necessary to start the jumps from the far side of the platforms in order to gain more horizontal momentum before entering the sand falls. Falling into the sand will often result in a soft lock.

Left Pillar Junction

The first Spring Ball jump is performed farther away from the sand tile so Samus can build up momentum and height before entering the sand fall. The second jump must be made from the right half of the solid tile (but not the rightmost pixels.) The third jump will land on the sand and must be followed by a jump off of the sand. Falling into the sand will often result in a soft lock. Only the far left section of sand, near the door, can be escaped with a crouch jump.

Mother Brain

Glitch through the Mother Brain Zebetites by using a frozen Rinka and i-frames. Freeze the Rinka at its spawn location, then spin jump or down-back onto it after acquiring i-frames to clip inside of the Zebetite, then jump through. I-frames can be acquired from a Rinka hit, a turret shot, or from the Zebetite itself. Note that Zebetites cause i-frames but deal no damage. If Screw Attack is equipped, then a down-back must be used, since spin jumping will cancel i-frames. With Ice+Wave, Samus can freeze the Rinka from above with an angle-down shot; Otherwise Samus must go below, press against the wall, and freeze it with an upward shot. With Ice+Plasma, Samus must be crouched when firing the shot.
