Moonfall on the Green Brinstar Elevator Platform to build up enough speed to fall through the Power Bomb Blocks below. Moonfall so as to stay on the platform, break spin, and turnaround between 70 and 76 times total. Turns cannot be too fast or too slow. When falling, avoid the platform in the center of the room by falling towards the right. Clip through the bottom right platform by turning around at the correct time. Then hold down to clip through the Power Bomb Blocks.
