canXMode (Extreme)

Ability to enter X-Mode using spikes by unmorphing frame perfectly before knockback ends with X-Ray ready to activate. This can be used to charge a shinespark or to slowly move forward by armpumping. Walking into a solid tile while in X-Mode will crash the game.

Dev note: A flash suit can be used while in X-Mode, but any unused flash suit will be lost when X-Ray is released. Using a flash suit during X-Mode should be represented by a `useFlashSuit` immediately before `canXMode`.

Use the Spikes in the center of the room to build a Shinespark with X-Mode. There are sections of the room where using more complex movement can be used to save a Spike hit when X-Moding.

Red Brinstar Fireflea Room
From: 2
Right Door
To: 1
Left Door

Jump from the runway near the right door to bounce onto spikes for X-Mode. Store a spark in X-Mode and use that to shinepark across the room. Bumping a solid tile before activating X-Mode will remove dash state, preventing shinecharging. The left door must have been opened previously, in order to shinespark through it.

Requires:

Unlocks doors:

{"types":["ammo"],"requires":[],"useImplicitRequires":false}

Dev note: Omitting leniency spikeHits, since the firefleas provide an opportunity to farm after a failed attempt. Unlocking the door is free since obstacle A being cleared implies it was already unlocked earlier if needed.

Enter X-mode in the spikes near the door. Release forward to make Samus move forward at a rate of 1 pixel per frame. After passing the third Yapping Maw, when Samus appears to move forward, this is the indication that the camera scroll has locked against the opposite side of the room, which is a good cue for when to stop, by holding forward again. To avoid taking another spike hit, press jump, then release dash to exit X-mode while jumping.
