Shoot a Super as a Sciser crawls near the top door, then freeze it mid-air and use it to clip up past the door shell. If you don't have Morph and X-Ray, you must shoot the Super while the Sciser is on the slope near the door, not on the door itself. Because of the shot firing rate, it can help to crouch and shoot the Super to the side to give it a bit more time to knock the crab off.

Freeze a bug three tiles to the right of the morph tunnel entrance, directly under the tile where ceiling is higher. Jump onto the bug, crouch, and jump up. The bug must be at a very precise pixel height unless using XRay and Morph. Note that although the ceiling here is 3 tiles thick, only the bottom tile is solid; the other two are slopes pushing Samus up, allowing the trick to be done.

Dev note: This location does not work at the high pixel location, as Samus is forced into a crouch, likely because of the slope tiles above?

Prepare a pipe bug to Ice clip through the crumble blocks, using Morph and X-Ray. It can be tested on the solid blocks directly above the pipe spawner. Climb onto the frozen bug by rolling under it and jumping while holding down.

Jump and freeze the Beetom at a precise location in order to jump through the crumble blocks. The pixel window is larger and higher with Morph and an X-Ray Stand Up.

Break the bomb block at the bottom right of the main shaft. Bring a Zeela down to the bottom of the room. Morph inside the tunnel, take a Zeela hit, then jump, aim down, and shoot to freeze the Zeela as it starts to move up and while Samus is close to landing. Jump and aim down to get on top of the Zeela. If the Zeela is precisely positioned exactly 12 pixels above the ground, you can press up to make Samus stand; Otherwise, if you have X-ray, then the Zeela should be frozen lower, and you can morph and unmorph and use X-ray to force Samus to stand up; in this case there is a 6-pixel window over which it works, with the Zeela being between 4 and 9 pixels above the ground. In either case, after standing up on top of the Zeela, jump and aim down to break the crumble block. Then, before the crumble respawns, morph and use Spring Ball (if available) to jump back up and into the tunnel; without Spring Ball, a quick mid-air morph also works but is more difficult.

Dev note: The mid-air morph is tighter than a normal can4HighMidAirMorph and you may only get one chance at it before having to reset the room. FIXME: canBeVeryPatient requirement is for difficulty (assumed large number of attempts required); a more specific tech could be used if one existed. FIXME: It might be possible to use two Zeelas to wall ice clip and X-ray climb to the door transition(s) above. FIXME: Or it might be possible to let a Zeela get past the crumble block to where it could be used to ice climb up the Etecoon shaft.

Lure a Kihunter over to the right near the door. Damage it so that it falls to the ground. Freeze it while it hops, and use Morph and X-Ray to stand on top of it and clip up through the door shell.

Lure the Reo (Bee) to the left to use it as a platform for ice clipping up through the crumbles to the Power Bomb room exit door. Watch the Reo bounce against the left wall until it does a slow hover towards Samus. There is a very small timing of when its right claw is above the small pale spore next to the big red spore, when Samus should jump to be above the Reo. Crouching with Samus' front toe beneath this spore (facing left) will cause the bee to fly with the correct timing after Samus takes knockback damage, with a 3 pixel window. This will cause it to fly left and into the two tile gap below the crumble blocks. Freeze it once to get above it, and then again for the ice clip. Once it is up there, the bee will become stuck and the room will need to be reset. But if the Reo does not fit in the hole, it is possible to just wait near the ledge for another slow hover to try again. With this strat, there is at most a two-frame window in which the Reo can be frozen. One frame (setup dependent) may let Samus crouch jump through the block; the next frame Samus can use Morph and X-Ray to clip through.

Use the Solid Blocks next to the Samus Eater to clip up through the Power Bomb Blocks. The thorns do not cover the entire blocks above. Jump barely only onto the corner to avoid the damage.

Freeze a Mella at a precise distance below the door in order to crouch-jump up and clip through the door shell. The pixel window is larger and higher with Morph and an X-Ray stand-up, in which case a standing jump is used. It can help to moonwalk towards a Mella that has never been on screen, so that it starts swooping immediately as it first enters the screen. This will make it so that when Samus is below it, it will always swoop and go up slightly compared to the previous swoop. Once it is close to the right height, move away so it stops swooping, freeze it and quickly try the clip, if it doesn't work, quickly leave and try again.

Manipulate a Pirate to climb to the top of the room on the left side. If Morph and X-Ray are available, morph on the top platform while waiting for the Pirate to climb up, triggering it to jump at a normalized height. Otherwise, crouch on the right platform second from the top, waiting for the Pirate to climb down, again triggering it to jump at a normalized height. In either case, freeze the Pirate near the center of the door, and use it to clip up through the door.

After jumping from right-to-left, Pirates will begin climbing up. After jumping from left-to-right, Pirates will begin climbing down. They will change direction when colliding with a block, or at random (with 50% chance) after climbing a distance of about 5 tiles. While climbing, they will fire a laser and jump across the room if the center vertical position of Samus and the Pirate differ by at most 32 pixels.
