Middle Item

Go into the morph tunnel below the Charge Beam location and Crystal Flash to force a standup and jump through. Samus is now unable to use X-Ray. Without Morph, be careful not to overload PLMs using the camera scroll blocks on the path upward. Then partially floor clip into the left side of the bomb block, and jump to clip through and escape. To exit G-Mode, damage down until the reserves trigger, which can be done most quickly using the Sidehoppers.

Use the Solid Blocks next to the Samus Eater to clip up through the Power Bomb Blocks. The thorns do not cover the entire blocks above. Jump barely only onto the corner to avoid the damage. Carefully jump around the thorns, tunnel crawl slightly to avoid touching the thorns when partial floor clipping. Morph and x-ray can be used instead to setup the clip much easier.

Crystal flash to force a standup then spin jump up then morph to bypass the dead robot. Use Coverns to damage down if necessary. Note that if the Covern spawns on Samus while crystal flashing, it will deal large amounts of damage. To avoid this, it is recommended to kill the Covern and leave its drop, then quickly get in the morph tunnel and CF.

In R-Mode, kill the Coverns until there is Energy in Samus's Reserves. Get into the Morph tunnel and go to the far left. Wait for Coverns to damage Samus down until Reserves trigger, forcing a stand up and enabling her to escape. Note that it is required to break the bomb block above the Morph tunnel as well, in order to clip out.

Use the middle section of pipes as a platform to reach the top level, above the Mochtroid. A crouch jump and down grab is enough if the jump begins on the rightmost 75% of the rightmost pixel. Getting into this position can be made easier with a morph turnaround: Spin jump out, turn left then quickly break spin (i.e. with a shot or angle button), morph and press against the upper left wall, then briefly tap left on the descent to land on the edge. Then perform a morph turnaround by pressing right for a very short time to face right without moving. Unmorph and jump to the right by pressing right immediately after jumping (on the same frame or up to 5 frames later), and down grab on the upper right ledge. With the Mochtroid, crouch under the crumble blocks to the left. Holding both angle buttons to aim upward, freeze the Mochtroid while it is on Samus. Jump onto the Mochtroid by quickly pressing down after jumping. When on it, press up to stand then jump through the ceiling.

Use the middle section of pipes as a platform to reach the top level, above the Mochtroid. A crouch jump and down grab is enough if the jump begins on the rightmost 75% of the rightmost pixel. Getting into this position can be done by moonwalking to a certain pixel and then turning around to the right to end on the right-most pixel. With random subpixels, Samus will fall off 25% of the time when turning around to the right. If Samus starts on the correct pixel and does not fall off when turning around, then she is guaranteed to be on subpixels that will work for the jump. Crouch jump, pressing right immediately after jumping (on the same frame or up to 5 frames later), then down grab on the upper right ledge. Alternatively, moonwalking onto the correct pixel one frame at a time, stopping as soon as it is reached, can guarantee that Samus will not fall when turning around. With the Mochtroid, crouch under the crumble blocks. Holding both angle buttons to aim upward, freeze the Mochtroid while it is on Samus. Jump onto the Mochtroid by quickly pressing down after jumping. When on it, press up to stand then jump through the ceiling.

Crouch and freeze a Mochtroid to clip into the space behind the grapple blocks. Jump and tap grapple while aiming diagonally to be pushed into the wall just the right amount. Samus should be one tile below the grapple blocks and fully in the wall. Too short a tap and the next grapple will not work, too long and Samus will be stuck in the wall. Grapple diagonally again to be pushed into the transition.
