Dev note: It may be possible to come in indirect and still have enough i-frames to get through the Geemers, but Samus may be coming from a doorless room like Crateria Tube. This is not easy to model and isn't worth doing, because the player will almost certainly canTrickyDodgeEnemies enabled before enabling canArtificialMorph.

The eye scanners are particularly annoying while in g-mode. They scan Samus with bright flashing lights which remain for a further distance. This is notable so a player can disable having to enter these flashing lights. If disabled, Samus will only require being in g-mode in this room if Zebes is awake.

Dev note: It is possible to do this with a Beetom, avoiding the tricky jump, but we will ignore that here.

When entering the room, it is recommended to open the door to be used as a quick escape if a Beetom attaches to Samus. Wait for the first Beetom to get stuck under one of the platforms. It may be necessary to lure it to the right. At this point, the farm can be used to gain energy. Jump into the thorns to get invulnerability frames, then run through, luring the Beetoms under the platforms while clearing and using the farms. Note that it is possible to shake a Beetom off of Samus by rapidly turning left and right, or angling up and down, etc. Samus will take 2-4 hits.

Set up three frozen Beetoms, in a such a way that Samus can perform a moonfall between the two upper ones and land on the bottom one, then leave the room with stored fall speed. The bottom one should be frozen flush with the ledge, by shooting it while it is attached to Samus, standing on the lower floor. The top one should be frozen close to the ceiling. Because of an asymmetry in where Samus' shot spawns when facing left vs. right, moonfalling to the left has an advantage in that it allows refreezing both the lower two Beetoms while building up speed. Damage from attached Beetoms occurs once every 64 frames, based on the enemy's frame counter, which increments whenever the enemy is active regardless of whether it is attached to Samus; therefore, it is possible to avoid damage by not having a Beetom attached at these specific times.

While using multiple Power Bomb boost Spring Ball jumps, to climb the room, overload PLMs by moving through the camera scroll blocks in front of the passageway leading to the exit of Spore Spawn Supers. Note that one Power Bomb can be saved with a Spring Fling from the lower item pedestal; pause and just before the screen is fully black, jump, disable Spring ball, then buffer right on the unpause. Another can be saved by carefully jumping out of this morph passageway. Drop into the Sidehopper pit and dodge the hoppers while getting up to the crumble block tunnel. Alternatively, carefully dodge the Reos below them and use a well-placed Power Bomb to kill both Reos and Sidehoppers.

Freeze a Zeb inside the left wall of the room, and use it to clip into the wall and X-Ray climb. Note that jumping directly against the wall to clip into it will put Samus into a forced crouch, unable to use X-Ray. Samus may either 1) perform a Crystal Flash to stand up, 2) use neutral knockback from a Reo to put Samus standing inside the wall, or 3) use the frozen Reo as a platform to run and clip into the wall. To manipulate the Reo into a suitable position, lure it to the left and crouch at the edge of the platform; jump as needed to bring it back on camera when it goes off; it should perform 4 big swoops down to the left, 2 small swoops (hitting the overhang above), then 5 more big swoops, after which it will enter a slow hover moving directly towards Samus. Freeze the Reo when its left side is approximately flush with the ledge, or up to about a tile to the right. After X-Ray climbing about 1.5 screens, the sound of the crumble blocks breaking is an indication that it is safe to end the climb, either by jumping up or by falling out to the right. Alternatively, there's no harm in continuing to climb, as the lack of door means it's impossible to climb beyond the destination.

Dev note: The Zeb moves 2 pixels per frame, and there are 3 positions where it can be frozen inside the wall using Ice beam alone, namely 2 pixels, 4 pixels, or 6 pixels deep inside the wall. For the method that uses the frozen Reo as a platform, only the 2-pixel-deep position will work; by moonwalking back inside the 2-tile space, it will work 100% reliably as long as the Zeb is frozen in that exact spot. For the method that jumps directly into the wall (with a Crystal Flash), either 2 or 4 pixels can work, or 6 with SpeedBooster; it will work more reliably the less deeply the Zeb is frozen inside the wall. Likewise, with the Reo knockback method either 2 or 4 pixels can work, though it is more reliable in the 2-pixel position; it helps to take the knockback a few pixels away from the wall, as it takes a few frames for the horizontal speed of the knockback to reach its maximum. The trick can work with Samus facing either toward or away from the wall when taking knockback; facing away makes it easier to quickly kill the Reo afterward to avoid taking a second hit.

Go down and overload PLMs by moving through the camera scroll blocks in front of the passageway leading to the exit of Spore Spawn Supers. Use multiple Power Bomb boost Spring Ball jumps, to climb the room; note that one Power Bomb can be saved by carefully jumping out of this morph passageway. Kill or carefully dodge the Sidehoppers at the top, then Power Bomb boost Spring Ball jump up to the top left door and exit G-Mode.

If there are no Sidehoppers in the bottom right corner of their pen, roll down and carefully place bombs while luring and killing them. Otherwise, go down into the hallway below and carefully kill the two Reos and lure the Sidehoppers to the left. If they don't stay on the left, exit this hallway and enter it again to reset the camera and try again. Then IBJ up to the item above.

Overload PLMs by moving through the camera scroll blocks in front of the passageway leading to the exit of Spore Spawn Supers. Either carefully jump out of this morph tunnel or use a Power Bomb boost Spring Ball jump to get up to the ledge. Either place a Power Bomb by the Reos to kill both Reos and Sidehoppers above, or climb up and fall into the Sidehopper pit and dodge them. Using the Reo's hallway to lure the Sidehoppers to the left can help. Jump up and into the tunnel at the left side of the Sidehopper pit and go through the crumble block.

Avoiding the top Sidehoppers without Power Bombs can be tricky; if starting at the top of the room, it may help to lure them to the left before going down the room. For safety, it is also possible to lure the hoppers to the left from below with several IBJs or HiJump and Spring Ball.

Without Bombs, fully overload PLMs with the item before dropping into the Sidehopper pit. Dodge or kill the Sidehoppers then go through the crumble block before exiting G-mode. With Bombs, it can help to not overload the PLMs fully, to IBJ off of the lower crumble blocks, then Bomb the side of the upper crumble to go through it.

Fully overload PLMs with the item before climbing the room. The hardest part is getting past the Reo without Power Bombs, if it is stuck in the stairwell just above the door.

Enter the room with a Missile selected on auto-cancel, holding angle-up. Fire a Missile shot to kill the first Skree, then run right and immediately fire a beam shot to destroy the shot block. Run off the edge and down-grab onto the next platform. Run and jump directly up where the shot block used to be, moving quickly enough to dodge the Skree projectiles by going under them. Use a wall jump, HiJump, or a mid-air spring ball jump to make it up.

Carefully roll under the Sm. Desgeegas or kill them with a Power Bomb (while avoiding killing the Sova). It is possible to kill a Sova on the door and pause abuse to grab its Energy drop on G-mode exit. Samus will likely need to wait at the door for about a minute for the global Sova gets there.

To use the local one, keep it off camera when possible and horizontally boost to jump over both stairs at once. With Spring Ball or a moderately good IBJ, Samus should be able to get through the morph tunnel before the global Sova, otherwise it takes just over a minute for it to return.

It is possible to kill a Multiviola by the door and pause abuse to grab its Energy drop on G-mode exit. This requires luring the left Multiviola around the room multiple times. It is important to prevnt the Magdollites from spawning too many fireballs, otherwise the Multiviola won't give any drops. Either kill them with Supers or use Ice keep them frozen. Be careful not to touch any invisible flames that the Magdollites do spawn.

It is possible to kill a Multiviola by the door and pause abuse to grab its Energy drop on G-mode exit. It is important avoid touching the invisible fireballs the Alcoons place, and to prevent them from shooting too many fireballs, as they will eventually prevent drops from appearing. The Alcoons are global, so it is best to kill those at the top of the room and either kill or avoid those lower, depending on if Samus has a way to kill them quickly.

It is possible to kill a Multiviola by the door and pause abuse to grab its Energy drop on G-mode exit. It is important avoid touching the invisible fireballs the Alcoons place, and to prevent them from shooting too many fireballs, as they will eventually prevent drops from appearing. One easy way to do this without any beam upgrades or ammo is to kill them before they jump. This can be done from below by jumping and shooting horizontally near the floor surface. Stay near the far wall when shooting to prevent getting too close and triggering their jump.

Use a complex lure to get the right-most Multiviola (which is initially moving to the left) to the bottom right door. Break a specific set of the speed blocks and let the Multiviola bounce off of them before breaking the rest. There are multiple ways to get the Multiviola to the right door, all of which require breaking the speed blocks to the left of the crumble bridge and some to them to the right. Break the speed blocks in one of the following ways: 1. The first 2 columns. 2. The first 8 columns. 3. The entire first chunk (10 columns). 4. The first chunk and all but the last column of the second (leaving an isolated block). 5. The first two chunks and all but the last column of the third (leaving an isolated stack of two blocks). Then let the Multiviola bounce several times until it is in a consistent pattern before breaking the rest. Note that option number 3 puts the Multiviola into an odd pattern where it has two distinct alternating cycles; wait for it to hit the right of the right stalactite, then the wall, then break the remaining blocks.

Dev note: It appears that there is no way to get the multiviola to get to one of the upper doors on the shaft; There are two known cycles to get it to start going up, but both get stuck in the same location. The first three Multiviolas aren't able to make it to the right shaft, regardless of how the door and speed blocks are manipulated. The fourth was tested by removing a single column of speed blocks at a time and clearing the rest before and after it gets to its cycle. The bottom door is rarely hit, but opening it during the cycle was not always tested thoroughly. It doesn't appear to be possible to lure it higher, but other things to try include: breaking speed blocks less than a column at a time, breaking some of the blocks then some more (not all of the remaining), or precisely timing the breaking of the crumble blocks.

While artificially morphed, carefully dodge or kill the enemies in the first half of the room. Go over the first set of Speed Blocks, then kill the first Red Pirate with a Power Bomb or after unmorphing. It is possible to kill or jump over the second pirate, but be careful to prevent it from shooting invisible lasers. Without any Power Bombs, this requires precise movement with Spring Ball or very precise movement with just Bombs.

Lure a Mella from the right by breaking the speed blocks or using Morph. Then manipulate it to go high enough to be used in the left doorway. Raise the Mella up to just below the door's ledge and then climb up to the door. Reposition the Mella once towards the door, and before it finishes moving, stand in the doorframe so that the next Mella movement will hit Samus. If it drops below the camera it will be necessary to go back down and raise it again.

Quickly roll to the left side of the room and IBJ through the crumble blocks before GT gets there, if it is alive. Starting from a jump or with a double bomb jump can help speed this up and make it much easier, but Samus needs to bomb slowly near the top to prevent hitting the crumble blocks before PLMs are overloaded. Otherwise, it can help to IBJ through the left-most crumble block, as GT will often jump away when first reaching Samus. The left-most crumble block is the 4th tile away from the wall. With a failed IBJ start, GT often times won't touch Samus if she is Morphed on the ground, and can jump away, giving another chance to IBJ.

Use the camera scroll blocks below the crumble blocks to overload PLMs to be able to go through the crumble blocks. Jumping through them a single time is enough to overload them for the next jump. It is possible to go though the crumble blocks while dodging GT. With a speedy jump, it is possible to overload PLMs and run back to GT before it stands up, get into the safe spot location to get him to jump back, and use the runway again. Note that when GT attacks, it will place stationary invisible projectiles, so it is much more difficult if not getting up quickly.

Kill or dodge the Holtz while crossing the room. With Plasma and Wave or Ice, it is possible to quickly kill the Holtz while at the left door. Otherwise, jump immediately on entry while Samus still has i-frames to get to the left of the first Zebbo and kill it.

Dev note: With Reserves only, this strat requires much more precise movement and either pause abuse or optimal reserve management.

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.

Requires getting back on Mama Turtle while she is at the right. The safest way is to have a normalized fall speed with either a full height jump or falling from the ledge above. If suitless, walking off the right ledge when she hits the left wall can be a good indicator to help land on her safely. Shrinking Samus' hitbox after touching the turtles back will also usually help. While near the right wall, shoot the item and grab it. If the shot misses, carefully fall back down and safely land on Mama Turtle again. After grabbing the item, fall on her again to avoid taking a hit; jump to the left at the top of the ride to escape the water safely.

Fire a charged Plasma shot, then use X-Ray repeatedly while the shot is in contact with Draygon, to wait out Draygon's i-frames. It is possible to one-cycle, which is easiest with a full beam, alternatively, it is possible to Morph under the swoop and two-cycle it. Note that if Samus is crouched when Draygon dies, she will stand up; this can be used to see when the fight has ended.

Kill the bottom Mochtroid with Bombs or a Power Bomb, roll into the tunnel with Gravity, or avoid it with nothing.

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.

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.

It is possible to use a very precise spring fling instead of a stationary lateral mid-air morph, but it is harder.

The first Spring Ball jump is performed farther away from the sand tile so Samus can build up momentum and height before entering the sand fall. The second jump must be made from the right half of the solid tile (but not the rightmost pixels.) The third jump will land on the sand and must be followed by a jump off of the sand. Falling into the sand will often result in a soft lock. Only the far left section of sand, near the door, can be escaped with a crouch jump.

Enter through the far left side of the door. Wait for the top hopper to move right to start running. Run under the right Hopper and jump over the left Hopper to avoid all damage.

Enter the room from the left door, morph, and wait at the left wall. After 6 hops, the bottom Hopper will do three big hops in a row. Roll under the Hopper while it does the third of those three big hops. Quickly unmorph and run to the right side of the room.

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.

To be able to break the glass and leave out the left side, Samus must be at a specific horizontal X pixel position ($63). Therefore, the Crystal Flash should have been performed at this position; For the moondance, moonfalls must be performed only left-to-right, or Samus will fall out. After 176 moonfalls, Samus will clip down into the tank. Angle down and fire 18 Missiles into Mother Brain to break the tank. If Samus is correctly positioned, she will then fall out and be free to move to the left.

If Samus is at position $62 (a pixel to the left of the correct position), it is possible for a Rinka hit to knock back Samus into position $63.

Perform a moondance while killing the Rinkas, carefully avoiding being hit by them. After 176 moonfalls, Samus will clip down into the tank. Samus will be unable to turn around and will be invulnerable to Rinka hits. Freeze a Rinka several pixels in front of Samus, to cause Samus to clip horizontally. This will work regardless of whether Samus is facing left or right. When Samus is close enough to the end, quickly turn around back and forth to wiggle out, to avoid taking too much damage from the invisible spikes in the air.

Freeze the Pirates and use them as platforms to climb the room. Sometimes the Pirates may decide to climb the wrong way; patience may be required to wait for them to come back.
