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. This requires knocking off the Sciser frame-pefrectly, then freezing it frame-perfectly in position. The Super should knock off the crab when it is barely centered on the slope, 2 pixels away from the edge of the doorframe. 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.

Jump and freeze the Beetom at a pixel perfect location in order to jump through the crumble blocks. The pixel is nearly the highest possible position with HiJump disabled, from the left ledge. After positioning the Beetom, get on top of it with a tight down grab, while refreezing it if necessary. Jump through the crumble blocks then down grab again to get to the top area. Two Beetom hits are assumed, but with failed attempts it could take more, possibly requiring leaving the Beetom and going back to the right to farm.

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: 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.

Raise a Zeb to be just below the crumble blocks and blindly freeze it to set up an ice clip to reach the Power Bomb room exit door. Get a bug from the pipe to spawn facing left and freeze it while moving to the ledge below the Hopper room door. While crouched, a spazer or wave beam shot will shoot through the floor in front of Samus. Shoot then immediately jump so that the bug can be frozen at a pixel perfect height, which is higher than where it would typically be frozen (when not needing to preserve a flash suit). Once frozen, wait for the bug to thaw, then blindly follow it to the left without letting it go off camera, which would cause it to despawn. Refreeze it below the crumble blocks, perform a very precise ledge grab onto it, then jump through the crumble block to reach the door, all while carefully avoiding losing the flash suit.

Dev note: 1 hit per attempt, 7 for leniency, which is reduced if Samus can reset the room and farm the Puyos. FIXME: leniencies should be moved to helpers or some central location. FIXME: There is a normalized setup which can be described and most or all of the leniency can be removed.
