Setting up an enemy positioning to perform a ceiling clip, typically with a frozen enemy. Jump and Morph onto the enemy, perform an X-Ray standup, and then jump through. The enemy positioning will require approximately 1.5 to 2 tiles between the enemy and the ceiling. Just enough to unmorph while on top of it.
Dependencies: canCeilingClip, canXRayStandUp
Shoot a Super as a Sciser crawls near the top door, then freeze it mid-air and use it to clip up past the door shell. If you don't have Morph and X-Ray, you must shoot the Super while the Sciser is on the slope near the door, not on the door itself. Requires: { "ammo": { "type": "Super", "count": 1 } } { "or": [ "h_canXRayMorphIceClip", "h_canPreciseIceClip" ] } Bypasses door shell: true |
Freeze a bug three tiles to the right of the morph tunnel entrance, directly under the tile where ceiling is higher. Jump onto the bug, crouch, and jump up. The bug must be at a very precise pixel height unless using XRay and Morph. Note that although the ceiling here is 3 tiles thick, only the bottom tile is solid; the other two are slopes pushing Samus up, allowing the trick to be done. Requires: { "notable": "Bug Ice Clip" } { "or": [ "h_canXRayMorphIceClip", "h_canPreciseIceClip" ] } |
Prepare a pipe bug to Ice clip through the crumble blocks, using Morph and X-Ray. It can be tested on the solid blocks directly above the pipe spawner. Climb onto the frozen bug by rolling under it and jumping while holding down. Requires: { "obstaclesCleared": [ "B" ] } "h_canXRayMorphIceClip" |
Jump and freeze the Beetom at a precise location in order to jump through the crumble blocks. The pixel window is larger and higher with Morph and an X-Ray Stand Up. Two Beetom hits are assumed, but with failed attempts it could take more, possibly requiring leaving the Beetom and going back to the right to farm. Requires: { "notable": "Beetom Clip" } { "or": [ "h_canXRayMorphIceClip", "h_canPreciseIceClip" ] } "Morph" { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Beetom", "type": "contact", "hits": 2 } } { "or": [ "h_canPreciseIceClip", "canWalljump", "HiJump", "SpaceJump", { "enemyDamage": { "enemy": "Beetom", "type": "contact", "hits": 2 } } ] } { "or": [ "canCrumbleJump", "canWalljump", "HiJump", "SpaceJump" ] } |

Right Etecoon Shaft - Wall Jump Climb Checkpoint Junction
Break the bomb block at the bottom right of the main shaft. Bring a Zeela down to the bottom of the room. Morph inside the tunnel, take a Zeela hit, then jump, aim down, and shoot to freeze the Zeela as it starts to move up and while Samus is close to landing. Jump and aim down to get on top of the Zeela. If the Zeela is precisely positioned exactly 12 pixels above the ground, you can press up to make Samus stand; Otherwise, if you have X-ray, then the Zeela should be frozen lower, and you can morph and unmorph and use X-ray to force Samus to stand up; in this case there is a 6-pixel window over which it works, with the Zeela being between 4 and 9 pixels above the ground. In either case, after standing up on top of the Zeela, jump and aim down to break the crumble block. Then, before the crumble respawns, morph and use Spring Ball (if available) to jump back up and into the tunnel; without Spring Ball, a quick mid-air morph also works but is more difficult.

Left Side - Bottom Middle Door (Blocked by Crumble Blocks)
Lure the Reo (Bee) to the left to use it as a platform for ice clipping up through the crumbles to the Power Bomb room exit door. Watch the Reo bounce against the left wall until it does a slow hover towards Samus. There is a very small timing of when its right claw is above the small pale spore next to the big red spore, when Samus should jump to be above the Reo. Crouching with Samus' front toe beneath this spore (facing left) will cause the bee to fly with the correct timing after Samus takes knockback damage, with a 3 pixel window. This will cause it to fly left and into the two tile gap below the crumble blocks. Freeze it once to get above it, and then again for the ice clip. Once it is up there, the bee will become stuck and the room will need to be reset. But if the Reo does not fit in the hole, it is possible to just wait near the ledge for another slow hover to try again. With this strat, there is at most a two-frame window in which the Reo can be frozen. One frame (setup dependent) may let Samus crouch jump through the block; the next frame Samus can use Morph and X-Ray to clip through. Requires: { "notable": "Reo Ice Clip With Morph and X-Ray" } "h_canPreciseIceClip" "h_canXRayMorphIceClip" |
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.

Freeze the Mella at a precise location in order to jump through the crumble block, then wall jump up the long channel and mid air morph to get out. The Mella pixel positioning window is larger and higher with Morph and an X-Ray Stand Up. One normalization which requires moonwalk: Kill all but the middle Mella without letting the middle one move from its starting location by keeping it frozen if Samus passes through. From the right, moonwalk backwards one pixel at a time until the Mella is no longer on screen. Shoot ice towards it, then move it on screen so that it is frozen immediately. Move to the left and press against (but don't roll under) the speed blocks before the Mella thaws. Moonwalk backwards 5 pixels, then in very quick succession, press right and then jump to do a buffered spin jump. The Mella should move horizontally and can then be used to clip through the crumble block.
