The nearby Global crab can be used to exit on the left side of the door. Exiting on the right will require travelling the Morph maze to find a local crab or two from the far left side of the room. Without Spring Ball, freeze the crab as low as possible to where Samus can still spin jump onto it. land on the edge of it, X-Ray turnaround or crouch, then press forward when it is about to thaw to trigger the transition.

Requires:

"Morph"
"canCameraManip"
"canUpwardGModeSetup"
"canTrickyUseFrozenEnemies"
"canBeVeryPatient"

Exit condition:

{
  "leaveWithGModeSetup": {}
}

Dev note: Global Crab (left side) takes 40 seconds, local crab (Right side) is 140. Finding two left side crabs to use together is faster. FIXME: Adding a variant that can only be done on the left side of the door would remove many of these requirements.

Requires:

"canUpwardGModeSetup"
"canTrickyUseFrozenEnemies"
{
  "obstaclesCleared": [
    "A"
  ]
}

Exit condition:

Freeze the stack of Gammets together a few times to try and raise them as high as possible. Run with them to the door and freeze the top two such that Samus can stand on the lower and take damage from the higher Gammet when it unfreezes.

It is possible to jump onto the Gamet without Morph, as long as it is not too high.

Requires:

"h_heatProof"
"canUpwardGModeSetup"
"canTrickyUseFrozenEnemies"
{
  "or": [
    "Morph",
    "canInsaneJump"
  ]
}

Exit condition:

{
  "leaveWithGModeSetup": {}
}

The easiest way to set up G-mode is to lure a low Mella to the door, take a hit, then jump and aim down and freeze it while it is high enough and still rising. If the Mella is not moving upwards, there is a good chance that Samus will be in a falling state as she is hit through the transition and can't use X-Ray. If Samus does not stay on the Mella, she can spin jump or midair morph directly onto the Mella without touching the transition. It may be worthwhile to keep the other Mellas alive so that on a failed attempt, Samus can freeze the Mella to go farm some of the others in room.

Requires:

"canManipulateMellas"
"canUpwardGModeSetup"
"canTrickyUseFrozenEnemies"
"canInsaneJump"

Exit condition:

{
  "leaveWithGModeSetup": {}
}

Knock a Viola off of its platform and keep it on camera as it climbs to the top of the room. Freeze the Viola when it is only partially overhanging the door and midair morph, run jump and aim down directly onto it, or spin jump and down aim just before landing and quickly release inputs. With Morph or a down aim, Samus can jump directly onto the Viola without touching the transition.

Requires:

"canTrickyUseFrozenEnemies"
{
  "ammo": {
    "type": "Super",
    "count": 1

Bring two atomics to the doorway. Stand on one frozen Atomic to freeze a second Atomic at the correct height to use as a platform.

Lure the crab to the top of the room and freeze it close enough to the corner that it will be able to hit Samus after it thaws. Without Morph, this is much trickier, requiring fairly precise freeze positioning and movement to get onto the crab. Aim down before landing on the crab to avoid triggering the transition. Be sure to touch the transition before it thaws or Samus will be in a falling pose, but late enough that it will be able to rotate around the corner and hit Samus in time.

Requires:

Dev note: Without Morph, this is not difficult enough to require canTrickyGMode, but it is easy to fail and the setup is very slow. The patience requirements for these strats are lenient, but there is a good chance of not getting the setup or entering G-mode first try.

Use a clockwise or counter-clockwise snail to setup G-Mode on either side of the door.

"canUpwardGModeSetup"
"h_navigateUnderwater"

Exit condition:

The Global crab in the upper section can be knocked off the wall to enter the left side of the above door. Otherwise, there are more crabs in the lower section of the room.
