Junction At Middle Right Door With Bottom KiHunter Cleared
Very quickly move through the room to meet the bottom KiHunter in a position where it is possible to jump over it. Down back through the shot blocks. If coming through the right door, Morphing may be easier. Jump over the KiHunter where it dips while moving left. Additionally, build full run speed before jumping to land all the way next to the door. Requires: "canInsaneJump"

Top Right Door
Notable: true 
Roll off the above ledge and use both the vertical speed resets from first (un)equipping SpringBall and then by unmorphing in order to reach the door. Pause shortly after rolling off the ledge, after falling for 1 tile. The timing is very precise. A downback helps by shrinking Samus' hitbox. Requires: "canInsaneJump" "h_canSpringFling" "canResetFallSpeed" "canDownBack" |

Using movement tricks to reduce fall speed even slightly can avoid touching the sand. A Flatley style turnaround over the grapple block hole reduces fall speed some, but also needs a down back or a tiny jump. Requires: "canSuitlessMaridia"

Mother Brain (locked)
Notable: true 
Glitch through the Mother Brain Zebetites by using a frozen Rinka and i-frames. Freeze the Rinka at its spawn location, then spinjump or Down-Back onto it after acquiring i-frames to clip inside of the Zebetite, then jump through. Note that Zebetites cause i-frames but deal no damage. Ice+Wave can freeze the Rinka from above. Ice+Plasma must freeze the Rinka from below while crouched. Requires: "canTrickyUseFrozenEnemies"
