Freeze the Choot when it swings right on its jump. Quickly get on top of it by first getting onto the pillar to the left, or with a SpringBall Jump. Perform a precise spring ball jump to get to the far right ledge, while avoiding hitting the water surface. While on the ledge, stand on the raised ground to the right and jump to the surface, then space jump across the water to the left.

While crossing the Spiky Lava, land on frozen Yapping Maws to reduce the number of spike hits needed. Damage boost towards then freeze the Leftmost enemy as it extends.

Delay the damage boost from the spikes slightly in order to rise above the lava before moving.

Ride the Geruta left to reach the missile location by freezing it repeatedly. Stay on its left side when it touches the ceiling for the enemy to continue moving forward. It may not be possible to climb back up to the Geruta if Samus falls. When it moves towards the ceiling, reset Samus' fall speed using an unmorph or by taking knockback damage, in order to wait for the Geruta to fall low enough to refreeze.

Dive into the acid to the left of the first floating platform to quickly sink to the bottom of the room.

Junction Above Bomb Blocks

Notable: true

Deal an exact amount of damage to a wall pirate to freeze it while breaking the bomb blocks with a power bomb without taking damage. Wait briefly on the left side of the center platform, then jump and shoot 4 missiles at the top pirate. Walljump up the left wall such that the lower pirates are on screen long enough to jump accross to the left. Place a Bomb on the left wall to hit the top pirate when it jumps over, followed by a power bomb. Unmorph precisely below the middle pirate so both top pirates will jump back to the right, and begin charging Ice. Walljump up the left wall with charge held and freeze the top pirate when it jumps over and use it to reach the upper region.

Notable: true

Requires a runway of at least 1 tiles in the adjacent room, although it is easier with more. Start the IBJ as far left as possible. The furthest right is just right of the waterfall. Turning around, carefully, is one way to lose forward momentum and begin the IBJ. At the top of the IBJ bomb to the left and unmorph to reset fall speed.

Top Sand Entrance
To: 7
Below Morph Tunnel Junction

Break the shot block before reaching the sand and then shinespark up. Samus cannot shinespark after unmorphing until she touches the sand and this can be used to shoot upwards without sparking. A diagonal ShineSpark will most likely not have any horizontal movement when performed from the sand.

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.
