canSandBombBoost (Extreme)

Sit on the very edge of a sand pit that is flush with the ground and place a bomb. Time walking into the sand so that Samus sinks slightly into the sand when the bomb explodes. When the explosion propels Samus above the sand line, jump and aim down simulataneously to gain extra jump height. Jumping too early will likely sink into the sand while jumping late only does not gain the full jump height.

Item

Stand on the edge of the sand and place a Bomb and wait briefly before entering the sand. Let the Bomb explosion push Samus up for a few frames before simultaneously jumping and aiming down. There is about a 2 frame window before too much height is lost to reach the nearby ledge. Jumping too early can lead to a softlock but jumping too late usually exits the sand safely.
