canBlueSuitSpikeJump (Extreme)

The ability to navigate spikes while carrying a blue suit in the presence of active enemies. In this situation, Samus' i-frames are instantly eliminated whenever Samus falls or walks forward, To avoid a rapid chain of spike hits, hold forward while landing on the spikes so that Samus is boosted downward, and release forward before knockback ends, so that Samus does not walk forward. If successful, Samus will be standing on the spikes, with 60 frames of invulnerability. From here, Samus can jump straight up out of the spikes, or spin jump by turning around with a buffered jump.

It is also possible to spin jump without a buffered jump, but it requires pressing jump exactly one frame after the directional input (forward or backward).

Blue Suit Rapid Damage Boosts with Gravity (Extreme)
Lava Grapple Tunnel
From: 1
Left Door
To: 2

The presence of the Yapping Maws causes Samus to immediately lose i-frames while moving; so the damage boosts must be chained directly from one to the next. This can be done by holding jump the entire time, and releasing right at the end of each boost, to fall straight down for the next boost, facing left the whole time. At the end of the final boost, hold left to boost downward, wait for knockback to expire, then press right to do a buffered turnaround spin jump out of the lava.

From: 1

The presence of the Yapping Maws causes Samus to immediately lose i-frames while moving; so the damage boosts must be chained directly from one to the next, with the exception of the first. Do the first damage boost from far enough left that Samus can land without bringing the first Yapping Maw on camera; use i-frames to do a spin jump, then chain 4 more damage boosts to cross the room. This can be done by holding jump the entire time, and releasing right at the end of each boost, to fall straight down for the next boost, facing left the whole time. At the end of the final boost, hold left to boost downward, wait for knockback to expire, then press right to do a buffered turnaround spin jump out of the lava.

Blue Suit Spike Jumps (Extreme)

From: 1

With each jump, turn and hold left just before landing on the spikes, to get knocked back and down to the right, without damage boosting. Then turnaround spin jump to the right for the next jump. Jump can be held the entire time, to buffer the jumps. This method can be used while simultaneously carrying a blue suit and flash suit.

From: 2

The presence of the Yapping Maws causes Samus to immediately lose i-frames while moving; so the damage boosts must be chained directly from one to the next. This can be done by holding jump the entire time, and releasing left at the end of each boost to fall straight down for next boost, facing right the whole time. At the end of the final boost, Samus should be out of range of the Yapping Maws, and so should have i-frames to jump normally out of the lava.
