Overload PLMs using the scroll blocks next to the bomb wall After passing through, you need to go from the bottom to the top of Climb and into the bomb blocks while still in G-mode Morph. Samus will not be visible at all; the only available feedback is audio and position on the map.

Overload PLMs using the scroll block next to the bottom right bomb blocks, allowing passage through them by making them become air. If Morph is unavailable, then careful movement will be required to get past the Pirates without taking a hit from them or their stationary, invisible lasers. If using a PB to kill the pirates, overload the PLMs at the bottom. If the top bomb block is hit with a PB before PLMs are overloaded, they will remain solid.

There are scroll PLMs one tile to the right of the bomb blocks which can be used to overload PLMs, turning the bomb blocks to air. However, if Zebes is awake, two Geemers block the way. The Geemer hits can be avoided with Bombs or SpringBall. Alternatively, use a Power Bombs, to kill the Geemers and another to boost over to the left Alcatraz entrance, as the Power Bomb blast will render the bomb blocks solid, unable to be turned to air. This is possible but tricky to do with a single Power Bomb: In direct G-mode, use Samus' i-frames to roll through the first Geemer and horizontally bomb boost onto the ledge. In indirect G-mode, roll immediately and place the Power Bomb just after the first downward slope to jump over both Geemers.

Wait for a crab to come to this door and shoot a Super to knock it off, then quickly freeze it at the right height and use it to clip up past the door shell. Knock the crab while it is on the sloped tiles near the top door, not on the door itself, otherwise it will never be in the correct height. 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.

Overload PLMs by placing Bombs at the far right, against the bottom of the crumble block, at the right of the low underwater ceiling. With artificial morph, safely bomb the fast crab by waiting just left of where it falls. Lure a crab to the top door or wait for the global crab to come back around, which can take up to 2.5 minutes.

Roll through the item to mostly overload PLMs before falling into the pit and fully overloading them with the camera scroll blocks. Fully overloading the PLMs before touching the camera scroll blocks will prevent the camera from following Samus after exiting G-mode. While falling, carefully avoid touching the thorns on the right, then roll through the spikeway. After the camera stops scrolling, move another 2-3 tiles then exit G-Mode. Make small jumps to reset the camera then quickly kill the Beetom as it jumps at Samus, or precisely jump underneath it.

Fall into the pit while being careful to only touch one of the crumble blocks. Bounce up through the camera scroll blocks to overload PLMs with Spring Ball, Bombs, or Power Bombs. This can be done with as few as 2 Power Bombs by placing the bomb, moving slightly, then as it boosts Samus horizontally, hold backwards to avoid landing on another crumble block. Otherwise it takes 6 Power Bombs. Move horizontally to fall through the crumble blocks that haven't been touched. Carefully fall to not touch the spikes on the right, then roll through the spikeway.

This is a very long ceiling bomb jump. Crossing the room with artificial morph is particularly difficult without a good way to kill the Wavers. It is recommended to avoid killing the Firefleas, as the room gets dark fast.

Entrance condition:

Quickly kill the Beetoms with Bombs or a Power Bomb. In direct G-mode, Samus has a few i-frames to place a Power Bomb, in indirect G-mode, enter and immediately roll to the left to avoid the first Beetom. With Bombs and without taking any damage, everything is harder. It is recommended to roll in the lower section, placing Bombs, while avoiding touching a Beetom or getting Bomb boosted.

Overload the PLMs by rolling through the camera scroll blocks which are just above the shot blocks. It is possible but tricky to do this damageless without a Power Bomb. Get the first Kihunter to swoop left twice, then quickly move back and forth getting each other Kihunter to swoop without touching Samus. In immobile, the Kihunters are in a worse location, but Samus starts with i-frames, so it is a similar difficulty.

Wait for the acid to lower then quickly roll part way forward to trigger the Metarees and return. Then go again without any difficulty. With Power Bombs alone is particularly challenging. Use a Power Bomb to kill the Gamets to prevent them from respawning. Place a bomb at the edge of the runway then hold forward with precise timing to get a boost to skip the first and land on the next safe platform. As quickly as possible place another and let it boost horizontally to the next platform, then another to get to the item.

With high movement precision, it is recommended to start a bit away from the edge (fully on the runway), giving a 3-frame window, or to start on the last pixel of the runway, giving a 4 frame window plus an extra non-consecutive frame. With slightly less precision, it may be worth starting as close to the edge as possible without falling off, as there are typically 4 non-consecutive frames that work (consisting of approximately alternating frames in a 6-frame window). Rolling into the bomb with momentum is not recommended and gives only a 2-frame window.

Dev note: The requirements here are to get the item and return, as the item cannot be used during the return. It appears that there is virtually no risk in overloading PLMs - the left runway isn't close enough, and even placing two on each pillar will not overload PLMs. FIXME: Getting extra horizontal distance from the bomb needs a tech.

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.

Dev note: This is only for indirect G-Mode, because it is trivial while in direct, and would use a different strat.

Despawn the gate in indirect G-mode then cross the room while dodging the Rippers. It is possible to cross the room damageless without any items. Crouch under the first Rippers then jump with a precise timing to go over the next without hitting the highest ones. With two small forward spin jumps, jump over the three Rippers that come from behind. Move to the first platform and jump over them again. Cross the rest of the room while weaving through the Rippers to get to the left side. It is possible to kill a Ripper near the left door and pause abuse to collect its drop on G-mode exit.

Quickly roll to the left side of the room and IBJ through the crumble blocks before GT gets there, if it is alive. Starting from a jump or with a double bomb jump can help speed this up and make it much easier, but Samus needs to bomb slowly near the top to prevent hitting the crumble blocks before PLMs are overloaded. Get GT to jump away then again jump into IBJ and climb to the right item. With a speedy jump, it is possible to overload PLMs with one jump, then wait for it to get close and run under it and jump to the top right. Note that Samus can roll under GT, but when it attacks, it places stationary invisible projectiles, which may block Samus' path. Place a Power Bomb then quickly exit G-mode to quickly clear all of the bomb blocks, otherwise it is possible to get out with a few Bombs or Screw Attack.

IBJ up the room while avoiding any of the invisible, stationary lasers that the pirates have placed; it is possible to manipulate the bottom pirate to place several lasers, in order to overload them, and then IBJ over the pirate and IBJ again from the right corner. OVerloading the lasers can prevent the wall pirates from placing one when they jump. Abort the IBJ and fall if necessary to avoid a pirate hit. It is then possible to shoot at the door and then use X-Ray, so the shot hits immediately afterwards.

It is tricky to climb the room without fully overloading PLMs. With Ice and either HiJump or Spring Ball, freeze the left Alcoon to the right of where it jumps out of the ground. With HiJump, spin jump off of it and land directly on the middle stair platform. With Spring Ball, morph on top of the Alcoon, jump to barely land on the lowest platform while avoiding the camera scroll blocks one tile above, then use Spring Ball again to jump to the next platform. Alternatively, with Spring Ball and either HiJump, Bombs, or Power Bombs, jump to barely land on the lowest platform while avoiding the camera scroll blocks one tile above, then use Spring Ball again to jump to the next platform. The first jump can be done with HiJump or a bomb boost into Spring Ball jump. Once up above, unmorph and get onto the edge of the runway leading right, then run through the camera scroll blocks to reach the item. This will finish overloading PLMs. Blindly traverse the maze until the end, where Samus will be stuck at the far right next to the shot block. Exit G-mode just one tile to the left, Morph, use a Bomb or Power Bomb to destroy the shot block and escape through the door.

There is a row of camera scroll blocks two-tiles above the bottom left platform, and a column two-tiles away from the right of the gap in front of the left door.

The pirates will place stationary, invisible projectiles when they jump or Samus runs through them, making that portion of the runway unusable without taking damage. To prevent this, it is important to shinecharge with only a small portion of the room to prevent the opposite pirate from placing a projectile. After shinecharging through the first pirate, stand between where it jumps, then near the end of the shinecharge timer, spark vertically with low energy to kill the pirate. It is possible to exit G-mode and quicky pause abuse, to collect the pirates' drops and get to the door.

Dev note: It is also possible, but not expected, to kill the Kihunter by the door and use its drop to get out of the room. Because this is blind and there doesn't appear to be a way to fix the camera, it is not expected to climb higher in the room. FIXME: These door unlock heat frames could be lowered, but it depends on if the Kihunter is alive, and if Samus had to exit G-mode to get out of the tunnel.

Break the bomb blocks with either a fully delayed max height jump from the wall, or with an instant turnaround after jumping from the lower layer of bomb blocks. It is possible to kill the pirate at the top of the room and use a pause abuse on G-mode exit to collect its drops. This requires getting somewhat lucky, as there is approximately a 70% chance that the pirate will give a large energy drop (small is not enough). To do this requires not climbing the room too quickly - one or two failed attempts at breaking the bomb blocks should be plenty, then exit G-mode, pause abuse, and kill the pirate before the pause triggers with a precisely timed spin jump into it.

Get to the bomb blocks while morphed, use a Power Bomb, then exit G-mode and drop to the bottom of the room. It is possible to go through the top pirate while it is being hit by a Power Bomb explosion, otherwise it is possible to jump over it with Morph or Spring Ball. With Bombs, it is possible but tricky to IBJ over the pirate or Bomb it many times to kill it without it placing any of its stationary, invisible lasers. Note that the pirate will not turn towards Samus and place a laser if it is moving its head back and forth.

Avoiding the acid completely requires precise movement. With Spring Ball and Bombs, jump into IBJ to delay while waiting for the acid. With just Spring Ball, perform a well-timed pause to trigger immediately after Samus jumps to get enough horizontal momentum to cross the second Hibashi and land in the alcove. A quick pause with a second spring fling on the descent can help a bit. With just Bombs, this is possible with well-timed, first-try double IBJs.

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.

Kill, freeze, or dodge the Yapping Maws. Kill the Zoa and wait for its drop to disappear. Just before it disappears, move into the sand and crouch. Press forward when near the transition to stand up and touch the transition on the first frame of standing. If the drop is an ammo drop, Samus can collect the drop and not have to wait for it to respawn. To do this, sink slightly into the sand before collecting the drop, then crouch and stand up to touch the transition and get hit by the Zoa. Note that if the Yapping Maw grabs Samus after touching the transition, the G-mode setup can still work.
