canXModeMovement (Extreme)
Ability to apply various movement techniques in X-mode, including 1) releasing forward in order to move forward (with loss of dash speed) 2) arm-pumping to move forward while maintaining dash speed 3) holding an angle button to turn around while maintaining dash speed 4) timing the X-mode release after i-frames refresh in thorns to avoid an additional thorn hit.

With some dash speed, bounce into the opening of the spikeway, and enter X-mode. The spike knockback will push Samus back out of the spikeway. By bouncing far enough left, it is possible to get a 2-frame window for the X-mode. By holding an angle button, it is possible turn around in X-mode without losing dash speed. Arm pumps can be used to get close to the ledge before shinecharging, to leave with more frames remaining. Requires: "h_XModeShinecharge"
