canMomentumConservingTurnaround (Very Hard)

Uses the uninteruptable frames of turning around in order to continue moving after hitting a solid object. Can be used to make it through an opening door, or barely just past a ledge. It is often beneficial to be in a downward pose when hitting the ceiling, in order to shrink Samus' hitbox to delay contact.

Bottom Left Door

Top Left Doorway

Notable: true

Only requires a runway of 6 tiles (with no open end) in the adjacent room. Perform an air ball while against the ceiling to make it up and through the morph tunnel. Use a Cross Room Jump into Water followed by a delayed Momentum Conserving Turnaround to reach the Morph tunnel above. Crossing to the right from the left door requires a more precise turnaround or morph timing which slides along the ceiling. Samus must also stay near a side of the center hole to reach the Morph tunnels.

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.

Do a low spin jump and press against the right side of the door frame. Wall jump as low as possible, jumping as soon as possible after moving away from the wall. Immediately turn back to the right and try to press against the door frame again before the transition, while maintaining spin. After the transition, typically a momentum-conserving turnaround is needed to avoid bonking.

Use Screw Attack to break the bomb block by entering from a non-water room with a spin jump, and make it all the way through the top door. This uses exactly 14 tiles (with no open end) - more rises too fast to do the trick, less does not have the height needed to reach the door. Use angle to break spin, then a momentumConservingTurnaround as early as possible, right as you pass the above tile horizontally. Using the background for positioning may help. The second momentumConservingTurnaround is as late as possible, just before touching the above platform. A third momentumConservingTurnaround is used on the door as it is opening.
