The ability to gain a blue suit by triggering an R-Mode forced stand-up during a shinespark wind-up. To do this, enter a room in R-Mode and put some energy back into reserves, for example by farming enemy drops or performing a Crystal Flash. Damage down to where auto-reserves will trigger after one more enemy hit. Use a runway to gain a shinecharge, and press jump to activate shinespark wind-up near an enemy, in such a way that the enemy hits Samus during the wind-up, triggering an R-Mode forced stand-up.

In R-Mode, fill your Reserves at the farm. Damage down again so that Samus is within 1 Zebbo hit from triggering Reserves. Gain a shinecharge in-room without gaining more energy. It is possible to time the despawn of a drop with the acid if no ammo is owned. Shinespark vertically, such that a Zebbo can hit Samus in the wind-up to cause a reserve trigger, giving a blue suit.

Due to R-Mode Entry, getting hit by the Sidehopper can only be avoided by a quick Screw Attack after releasing the X-Ray Scope. You can attempt to farm the two ground Sidehoppers for Reserve Energy. Otherwise, you must use a Crystal Flash. Leave the ceiling Sidehopper alive to clear the runway for a shortcharge. Initiate the shinespark in midair so that Samus is in the path to be hit.

Use the respawning Zeb to set up with reserves and enough energy to tank one Small Sidehopper hit without triggering Reserves then perform a 'slow short-charge' across the speedway: you must hold run at least until you have enough speed to get under the shutters. 1-tap shinecharge is used to shinecharge over the Small Sidehopper Pit, before passing the 2nd to last shutter. Fall in, take a hit for i-frames so you can land and be ready to wind up before you get hit again. Once you have blue suit you can simply Morph and roll through the bomb blocks to escape.
