canPlayInSand (Hard)

The ability to control Samus while under the effects of sand physics. This includes the ability to perform a clean jump from the top of sand, to platform while impeded by sandfalls, and to escape from a sand floor in water with Gravity. This also allows using a sandfall to escape a sand floor with HiJump, and using Bombs to escape a 1-tile deep sand pit, and to cross on top of sand with no items, by spin jumping from the surface and canceling spin before landing. This does not include simply falling through sand or touching a negligible sandfall or using Spring Ball to avoid interacting with the sand.

Enter with enough run speed to jump (after the transition) across the full room using one SpringBall Jump. When exiting the first Sandfall, Samus will be rising still. That is the time to Springball jump.

Notable: true

Requires a runway of 7 tiles (with no open end) in the adjacent room. Requires two precise inputs of jumping through the doorway and aiming down before hitting the ceiling. Damage boost off of the right Evir in order to land on the first pillar. With Ice, instead freeze the Evir to land on it and avoid the damage. When entering the room with a bad jump, it is possible to perform a midair wiggle to get back to the door platform.

Notable: true

Stand at an effective distance of about 20 tiles from the door. Run through the door, and jump any time after the transition, holding jump through the entire room to make it to the other side. Samus will go over the Evirs, so there is no need for blue speed.

Notable: true

Enter with enough run speed to jump (after the transition) across the full room using one SpringBall Jump. When exiting the first Sandfall, Samus will be rising still. That is the time to Springball jump. Alternatively, an immediate pause can be used to SpringBall jump during the first narrow gap between Sandfalls. Sometimes Samus will land above the sand on the far left end of the room, where it will be necessary to unmorph and jump out.

Notable: true

The Evir won't shoot unless Samus enters the sand falls. Getting to the transition tiles while standing before the projectile while suitless is very precise. From the sand, turnaround spinjump towards the right. Turn towards the sandfall about when you're level with the platform. Turn right and shoot as soon as you enter the sandfall. And try to land right next to the transition.

Gain momentum in the room to the right, then jump immediately on entry in order to land on the first pillar. Jumping too late will likely put Samus into the pit. Requires a small runway of only one tile or less in the adjacent room. Jumping before the door transition will set Samus straight into an Evir projectile, knocking her into the sand.

Notable: true

If entering from the sandfall above, come in at the far left of the transition, with either a spin-jump or i-frames, to avoid the Evir shot; land on the right side of the pillar to the left, being careful to not bring left Evir on camera. If coming from the right side of the room, then moonwalk on the center pillar to scroll the camera as far right as possible, to avoid getting hit by an Evir shot; alternatively, jump slightly to the left and freeze the Evir, then return back to the center pillar before jumping across the sand. Freeze the right Evir and jump onto it. Quickly move left and fire an angle-down shot to freeze the left Evir before it descends too far. Jump onto the left Evir, back up to the right side of it to maximize space to build momentum, and jump to the left onto the sand and then onto the ledge. If Samus does not quite get enough height to make it onto the ledge, then break spin, turn around to the right, land on the sand again, and do a turnaround spin-jump to the left. If the Evirs descend too far, it is possible to use a Power Bomb to bring them back up again, but caution is needed to avoid killing the first Evir, and it is difficult to avoid getting shot.

Notable: true

From the sand fall, quickly get onto the left platform to prevent the right side Evir from lowering too far. Jump on the sand to the right while freezing the Evir as high as possible. Refreeze the Evir so it is a slightly higher platform than the right pillar. Perform a spring ball jump with a stationary lateral mid-air morph from the left side of the current platform to get onto the Evir. Use a running jump off of the Evir. As a backup, it may be possible to make the Evir rise again by hitting it with a PB - place the PB in the air to avoid double hitting and killing it.

Notable: true

Perform multiple stationary lateral mid-air morphs, while avoiding the Evir projectiles, to cross the room. It is necessary to start the jumps from the far side of the platforms in order to gain more horizontal momentum before entering the sand falls. Falling into the sand will often result in a soft lock.

Notable: true

Freeze the Evir quickly before it descends and use it to get to the platforms. Getting a good jump while on the right side of the floating block can get Samus to the leftmost block. With a clean jump off of the sand, Samus can then get onto the final vertical pillar.

Notable: true

Use the projectile from a fully submerged Evir to boost Samus into the sandfall, providing just enough height to make the first and hardest jump. Time the projectile to hit Samus when at the maximum height from a jump. The hit must be on the right side of Samus and with no inputs held, but also hold forward during the damage knockback to move through the sandfall. Getting a good jump while on the right side of the next floating block can get Samus to the leftmost block. With a clean jump off of the sand, Samus can then get onto the final vertical pillar.
