Red Kihunter Shaft: Kihunter Dodge (Expert)

Stand near the door and jump up to the higher level once the first Kihunter comes on screen. Wait near the left wall for a brief time for the middle area to be clear of Kihunters. If the top Kihunter is above, wait for it to exit the corridor and avoid its lunge and jump past.

Dodge or kill the Kihunters while climbing the room. It is possible to take it relatively slow, as there is no heat damage. Shoot the first shot block before exiting G-mode to then jump through it immediately after using X-Ray to save a small amount of heat damage. Note that with direct G-mode, it is possible to jump through the first Kihunter immediately on entry, as Samus will have i-frames.

Dev note: Kill strats could be added, but it's not too hard to avoid them while taking it relatively slow.
