Dev note: Technically Samus isn't moving off-camera but is close to the edge; 'canOffScreenMovement' is for the difficulty of timing the unmorph, given limited visibility of the end of the passage and the Sova. If a Power Bomb is available, then lag from the explosion can make the movement much easier.
