R-Mode Blue Suit (Extreme)
Gauntlet Energy Tank Room
From: 1
Left Door
To: 1
Left Door

Use R-Mode to get a blue suit to cross the room and get the item, or to leave the right shinecharged. In R-Mode, fill your Reserves at the farm. Damage down again so that Samus is within 1 Zebbo hit from triggering Reserves. Gain a shinecharge in-room without gaining more energy. It is possible to time the despawn of a drop with the acid if no ammo is owned. Shinespark vertically, such that a Zebbo can hit Samus in the wind-up to cause a reserve trigger, giving a blue suit. It is then fine to farm the Zebbos again.

R-Mode Frozen Beetom X-Ray Climb (Extreme)
Red Tower
From: 1
Top Left Door
To: 2
Middle Left Door (Behind Power Bomb Blocks)

Gain R-mode while entering the room. Use the respawning bugs to refill reserve energy. Get grabbed by the Beetom and carry it to the 4-tile high gap one screen above the bottom-left door. Position Samus one pixel to the right of being against the wall. Jump and aim down, reaching the ceiling at the same time that reserves are triggered. This will force Samus to stand up, briefly clipping into the wall above. Immediately freeze the Beetom inside the wall, by buffering a shot during the reserve trigger. Use a Ripper to get knocked back onto the frozen Beetom. This will clip Samus one pixel left into the wall, making it possible to X-ray climb. X-ray climb up 2 screens.

R-Mode Forced Standup Clip (Insane)
Golden Torizo's Room
From: 2
Right Door
To: 1
Left Door

Use a Crystal Flash to refill reserve energy. If Golden Torizo is alive, perform the Crystal Flash in the left corner of the room; otherwise it can be done near the door. Then use heat damage to trigger an R-mode forced standup near the crumble blocks with upward momentum, in order to clip up through them. Several different combinations of items and techniques can make this possible: 1) Space Jump, with a mid-air morph (not required but makes it easier), 2) HiJump and a mid-air Spring Ball jump, most easily by equipping both HiJump and SpringBall during the pause, 3) A walljump into Spring Ball jump, equipping Spring Ball soon after the wall jump into order to gain horizontal speed before the mid-air jump. 4) HiJump and Speedbooster, running and jumping into a mid-air morph, In every case, precise timing is needed to be in the correct location when reserves trigger, just below the crumbles but without bonking them. Having less upward momentum can provide more lenience for timing the forced standup clip, though if Samus' momentum is not enough to make it onto the ledge then a crumble jump may also be required.
