Top Junction with Temporary Blue (Right of Morph Tunnel)

Use Springball on the spikes to cross the room with a Speedball. It helps to not be at full run speed when bouncing through the spike pit, but is still possible with very tight jumps. Then bounce into the Morph tunnel and use Springball to bounce all of the way through. Unmorphing before the Morph tunnel to better control the bounce can help.

Use SpeedBooster to construct a structure for Moondancing that has 1 chest height block and 1 head height block to the right of it and no other Speed blocks. Crystal Flash below the lower block, exactly pixel aligned with its right side, to standup and then begin Moondancing. After Samus sinks through the floor tiles, use Grapple to return to a standing position and count an additional 145 moonfalls. Then use Grapple to return to a crouch and wiggle right and Turn-Around Aim Cancel to escape to the right. Finally, use SpeedBooster if needed to break the remaining Speed blocks and reach the door.

Use a frozen Atomic or Covern to extend the runway in front of the Spooky Missiles bomb block, then use temporary blue into a morph ball bounce to break it. Position the enemy horizontally centered in the hole to extend the runway all the way to the wall. Positioning a Covern is tricky. One way to set this up is with Space Jump.
