canChainTemporaryBlue (Expert)

The ability to move while maintaining Temporary Blue. This can be done by jumping, releasing angle, then doing a mid-air morph on the descent, using mockball inputs. Afterwards, hold angle again while soft unmorphing and continue to hold angle after landing. Hold forward the entire time while morphed after the mockball inputs to prevent losing Temporary Blue. It is possible to use this alongside canXRayTurnaround to change directions during a Temporary Blue chain.

Springball Speedball (Expert)
Crateria Super Room
From: 1
Top Left Door

Top Junction with Temporary Blue (Right of Morph Tunnel)

Use Springball on the spikes to cross the room with a Speedball. It helps to not be at full run speed when bouncing through the spike pit, but is still possible with very tight jumps. Then bounce into the Morph tunnel and use Springball to bounce all of the way through. Unmorphing before the Morph tunnel to better control the bounce can help.
