Enter with direct G-Mode artificial morph, and perform a Crystal Flash to refill reserve energy. Do this all the way to the left, to prevent the Geemer from being destroyed by the lingering light orb. Wait for a global Geemer to make the long trip along the map, or shoot a Super 20 to 30 seconds after entering the room to knock it off the ceiling and save a lot of time. Either way, after the Geemer comes down into Alcatraz, shoot a Super to knock it off the ledge to make it bypass the light orb. Damage down until one Geemer hit away from running out of energy. If Samus has at least one Energy Tank, it will take longer to damage down, in which case an additional Super can be used to knock the Geemer onto the floating platform, to allow unlimited time for damaging down. A final Super can be used to knock the Geemer off the floating platform. Set reserves to manual, stand next to the bomb blocks, and wait for the Geemer to approach. Just before taking a hit, press pause. During the fade-out, hold forward to land quickly after knockback. At a precise moment just before the pause hits, jump and aim down; the aim-down can be buffered before jumping, e.g. by rolling from forward to down through a diagonal input. Set reserves to auto, then unpause while continuing to hold jump. If successful, the forced stand-up will occur close to the ceiling and while Samus still has upward momentum, allowing Samus to clip through.
