Mother Brain Room: Ice Zebetite Skip (Hard)

Glitch through the Mother Brain Zebetites by using a frozen Rinka and i-frames. Freeze the Rinka at its spawn location, then spinjump or Down-Back onto it after acquiring i-frames to clip inside of the Zebetite, then jump through. Note that Zebetites cause i-frames but deal no damage. With Ice+Wave, the Rinka can be frozen from above. With Ice+Plasma, Samus must crouch while freezing the Rinka from below.

Glitch through the Mother Brain Zebetites by using a frozen Rinka and i-frames. Freeze the Rinka at its spawn location, then spin jump or down-back onto it after acquiring i-frames to clip inside of the Zebetite, then jump through. I-frames can be acquired from a Rinka hit, a turret shot, or from the Zebetite itself. Note that Zebetites cause i-frames but deal no damage. If Screw Attack is equipped, then a down-back must be used, since spin jumping will cancel i-frames. With Ice+Wave, Samus can freeze the Rinka from above with an angle-down shot; Otherwise Samus must go below, press against the wall, and freeze it with an upward shot. With Ice+Plasma, Samus must be crouched when firing the shot.

Dev note: This technically requires f_KilledZebetites1 to not be set, but there is minimal risk of loss of access, because there is no reason to kill any Zebs without being able to kill them all. It is also possible to Ice Zeb skip through the second Zeb with a morph/unmorph/remorph on a frozen Rinka; this is known as a Remorph Zebetite Skip or a Spring Ball Zebetite Skip. Technically this strat involves `canWallIceClip` but we don't include that requirement, since the positioning of the Rinka is freely normalized, which makes the trick easier than this tech would normally imply. FIXME: It is possible to Ice Zeb Skip out, but it is much harder and would only be useful if getting here with canRiskPermanentLossOfAccess.
