canMidairWiggle (Very Hard)

Turning around quickly so as to manipulate game physics. For using Screw Attack to break blocks and to shrink Samus' hitbox following a wall jump, and for maneuvering sharply underwater.

Right Door

Standing from the rightmost platform, jump to the right of the stalagmite. Perform a midair wiggle to get to the left to the stalagmite, then precisely wall jump off of it. Then perform a frame perfect space jump at the water line to bounce on the water over to the Kamer platform.

Above Lava Junction

BounceBall into the Lava, Unmorphing with good timing to sink faster and drift effeciently towards the bottom right Namihe. Walljump at about eye height (4 pixel window) to gain enough height to reach the center portion of ceiling. While rising, wiggle to shrink Samus' hitbox. Some walljump positions will not need to wiggle, when walljumping far away from the Namihe. Jumping, from the wall, around the next lowest overhang is very precise and taking any extra time to position will increase the amount of lava damage being taken. It may help to disable HiJump for this part. Then Walljump again to exit the Lava and reach the left ledge.

Run from left with Speedbooster in the room below and jump up through the door. Perform a snap turnaround to the left to cancel horizontal momentum before passing through the transition.

The Evir won't shoot unless Samus enters the sand falls. Getting to the transition tiles while standing before the projectile while suitless is very precise. From the sand, turnaround spinjump towards the right. Turn towards the sandfall about when you're level with the platform. Turn right and shoot as soon as you enter the sandfall. And try to land right next to the transition.

Use the grapple block to initiate a Grapple Jump to climb up to the higher level and above the water line. Aiming the Grapple Jump to line up with the one tile hole is difficult and Samus is moving at high speeds. Escaping the water is also difficult as Samus must be standing at the water line when jumping for the next part of the grapple jump. It may be easier to jump out of the water by turning HiJump off. A Grapple Jump can be a spin jump by running briefly before jumping and that can be used to begin Walljumping or Space Jumping.
