Start the elevator ride by using Screw Attack or Pseudo Screw in the hole. Kago the elevator to fall back in and hit the elevator again. This is much easier while the elevator is still rising, but can still be done with Morph afterwards. Unless HiJump is owned, this will need to be done once more to get high enough to get to the blue gate.

Roll under the top Fune fireball then roll off the edge to avoid the first Boulder. Kill a Fune or use the Boulder for IFrames to get through the tricky section. It is also possible to Kago the Fune to save health compared to taking a Boulder hit.

Item (Behind the Bomb Wall) (locked)

Kago through the Workrobot by jumping, pressing down, then morphing and moving right just before hitting the robot. The bomb blocks can be broken with a bomb, Power Bomb, or using Screw Attack. If using bombs, be careful when breaking the bottom bomb block - if morphed, you will be pushed into it and stuck. To do this, place a bomb at the bottom, then a bomb at the peak boost height and unmorph before landing. Alternatively use a short jump morph. If the morph tunnel is open, kagoing through the robot will force Samus into it.

Requires:

"Morph"

"canKago"
From: 1
Left Door
To: 2
Item (Behind the Bomb Wall) (locked)

Notable: true

Kago into the worker robot and start running away from the wall until the bomb blocks are broken with SpeedBooster. The short charge taps are extremely precise because gaining too much run speed and Samus will exit the robot.

Requires:

"Morph"
"canSlowShortCharge"
"canKago"

    "usedTiles": 14,
    "openEnd": 0
  }
}
From: 2
Bottom Left Door
To: 1
Top Left Doorway

Notable: true

Requires a runway of at least 4 tiles (with no open end) in the adjacent room. Use a Cross Room Jump into Water followed by a delayed Momentum Conserving Turnaround to reach the Morph tunnel above. Climbing the Left side of the center hole will run into an unavoidable Scisor that can be passed through by Morphing. Crossing to the right from the left door requires slightly more runway and takes a more precise turnaround. Samus must also stay near a side of the center hole to reach the Morph tunnels.

Entrance condition:

{
  "comeInJumping": {
    "speedBooster": false,
    "minTiles": 3.4375
  }

}
From: 2
Bottom Right Door
To: 3
Middle Right Door

Run with enough speed to jump (after the transition) to reach the far left ledge. Either kill or Kago through the Fish enemy. At slightly higher run speeds, Samus can jump from the bottom of the slope and avoid the fish.

Entrance condition:

  "comeInRunning": {
    "minTiles": 7,
    "speedBooster": true
