canPlayInSand (Hard)

The ability to control Samus while under the effects of sand physics. This includes the ability to perform a clean jump from the top of sand, to platform while impeded by sandfalls, and to escape from a sand floor in water with Gravity. This also allows using a sandfall to escape a sand floor with HiJump, and using Bombs to escape a 1-tile deep sand pit, and to cross on top of sand with no items, by spin jumping from the surface and canceling spin before landing. This does not include simply falling through sand or touching a negligible sandfall or using Spring Ball to avoid interacting with the sand.

HiJump with a good jump from the sand can reach the Solid Rock Maze region. Use the sandfall if Samus gets stuck in the sand. Perform several wall jumps to climb up to the water level, then precise wall jumps to break free.

Jump through the door to cross most of the room, then jump off of the sand to cross the rest. With enough speed, crossing the whole room without landing in the sand is also possible, but Samus must still jump quickly after landing to avoid being grabbed by the Yapping Maw.

Perform a 1-tap to gain blue speed with a significant amount of momentum. Run through the door, and jump near the end of the platform, crossing the room. If Samus gains enough height from the jump, it is possible unmorph mid-air to discard horizontal speed at the right side of the room, then pause to remorph (`canPauseRemorphTemporaryBlue`). Otherwise, a precisely timed unmorph is needed to avoid bonking the door and losing the blue state; at certain speeds, it may be necessary to briefly release jump in order to control the height for the unmorph.

That is the time to Springball jump. Alternatively, an immediate pause can be used to SpringBall jump during the first narrow gap between Sandfalls. Sometimes Samus will land above the sand on the far left end of the room, where it will be necessary to unmorph and jump out.

The Evir won't shoot unless Samus enters the sand falls. Getting to the transition tiles while standing before the projectile while suitless is very precise. From the sand, turnaround spinjump towards the right. Turn towards the sandfall about when you're level with the platform. Turn right and shoot as soon as you enter the sandfall.

Gain momentum in the room to the right, then jump immediately on entry in order to land on the first pillar. Jumping too late will likely put Samus into the pit.

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.

From the sand fall, quickly get onto the left platform to prevent the right side Evir from lowering too far. Jump on the sand to the right while freezing the Evir as high as possible. Refreeze the Evir so it is a slightly higher platform than the right pillar. Perform a spring ball jump with a stationary lateral mid-air morph from the left side of the current platform to get onto the Evir. Use a running jump off of the Evir. As a backup, it may be possible to make the Evir rise again by hitting it with a PB - place the PB in the air to avoid double hitting and killing it.

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.

Use the projectile from a fully submerged Evir to boost Samus into the sandfall, providing just enough height to make the first and hardest jump. Time the projectile to hit Samus when at the maximum height from a jump. The hit must be on the right side of Samus and with no inputs held, but also hold forward during the damage knockback to move through the sandfall. Getting a good jump while on the right side of the next floating block can get Samus to the leftmost block. With a clean jump off of the sand, Samus can then get onto the final vertical pillar.
