"h_ZebesIsAwake"

Freeze a Zebbo inside the wall above the right side of the spikeway, close to the ceiling thorns. Face right, equip X-Ray, move at least a few pixels away from the wall, and jump straight up into the ceiling thorns. If successful, Samus will be knocked back into the wall and end up standing inside it. Use X-Ray immediately to prevent additional thorn hits. If Samus is high enough to be touching the thorns, then i-frames will continue to be refreshed once per second. While X-Ray climbing, be careful to only release X-Ray soon after i-frames are refreshed. Crouch before pressing X-Ray again.

Dev note: Standing at least 3 pixels away from the wall ensures that knockback pushes Samus fully up against the ceiling; there is also no problem with standing further right, even hanging off the ledge: as long as Samus is still in range to take damage from the thorns above, they will be able to knock Samus into the wall. It is possible to freeze the Zeebo lower, but if Samus is too low, it will be necessary to take 3 thorn hits. It is also possible to get stuck inside the wall by taking knockback from a floor thorn, or by using a frozen Beetom as a platform. However those methods are not any easier, more damage will be taken, and the climb will be longer. If Samus begins climbing at a level below the ceiling thorns, then as Samus approaches the thorns, X-Ray will need to only be released while turning to the right, in order to prevent the thorn hits from knocking Samus out of the wall.

Traverse the room while rolling on the thorns and avoiding the Samus Eaters. Roll from the first platform onto the thorns under the first set of Boyons. When just past the first Boyons, turn right and wait on the safe spot for a second to overload PLMs. Move right to touch the thorns and use that to damage boost leftwards onto the next thorns and roll into the third Samus Eater. Place a Power Bomb and then quickly unmorph and jump onto the block above and exit G-Mode before the Power Bomb explodes to break the wall. Note that if Samus is teleported into the Samus Eater when exiting G-Mode, then PLMs weren't properly overloaded before entering it. PLMs can be overloaded by waiting on their petals before entering them. Also note that there are much easier strats with more Energy or more Power Bombs.

Traverse the room while rolling on the thorns and avoiding the Samus Eaters. Roll from the first platform onto the thorns under the first set of Boyons. When just past the first Boyons, turn right to damage boost up and hit the block and fall back on the thorns. While still facing right wait for the thorns to hit again; use the boost to get onto the next set of thorns and roll across them into the third Samus Eater before using a Power Bomb. Use the Power Bomb to boost up into the thorns. Hit the thorns again to get next to the Chozo statue. Place another Power Bomb and exit G-Mode before it goes off to break the wall. Note that if Samus is teleported into the Samus Eater when exiting G-Mode, then PLMs weren't properly overloaded before entering it. PLMs can be overloaded by waiting on their petals before entering them. Taking 2 thorn hits while under the first Boyons is important for this reason.

If you wait long enough, a Waver will arrive. After it turns around to go back to the right, damage boost off of it, then follow it.

Position Samus into the bottom right corner, using i-frames to run and jump from the crumble blocks, and then wall jump to make it onto the ledge. If using a spike hit to gain i-frames, be sure to be holding forward (left) when landing, in order to get pushed back into the corner. If using the Ripper to gain i-frames, perform a damage boost from a relatively low position, in order to land quickly enough to reach the crumble blocks before i-frames run out.

Run off or perform a short hop off the ledge into the Ripper and damage boost to the left of the spikes. Using the i-frames from the Ripper, quickly jump from the spikes to the item. With HiJump, it is also possible to avoid the damage boost and land right of the crumble blocks and get a good jump to the left.

Dev note: FIXME: It is possible to avoid the Ripper and jump off of the crumble blocks.

Jump onto the crumble blocks to make them solid, then use them as a platform to get to the item. With Grapple, a running jump then single Grapple swing can be used before PLMs are overloaded, alternatively jump on the crumble blocks and Grapple the Ripper. Avoid touching all 6 crumbles, so Samus can use the item to overload PLMs and go through one of the crumbles to get to the left side of the room. If the item has already been obtained, Samus can shoot the gate many times to overload PLMs.

Climb up about half a screen. If Phantoon is dead, the last part of the climb should be done carefully to avoid triggering collision with the spikes: Do not press forward or turn-around except while X-Ray is active. For each X-ray stand-up, release the turn-around input quickly to make sure that it is not still held after X-Ray deactivates. Once Samus is high enough, unequip X-Ray, jump up (from either standing or crouch) to clip past the spikes, and land, taking a single spike hit. Then use the i-frames from the spike hit to run and jump to the left to make it to the door. Samus is high enough after the top of her arm cannon first becomes visible at the bottom of the screen; or up to 3 additional climbs can be performed after that point. In case of an accidental spike collision, it is possible to recover: Unless Samus climbed higher than needed, she will still be stuck in the wall, will take a single spike hit, and be able to continue climbing. With Grapple it is possible to swing on the Grapple blocks, avoiding all spike damage. Spike damage can also be avoided with Space Jump, by doing a stationary turn-around spin jump, which is very precise.

Dev note: FIXME: The canBeVeryPatient is for difficulty placement, as the damageless Space Jump version would likely require many attempts. The resourceCapacity requirement is to ensure that reserve energy management will not be needed for the lower-difficulty version of the strat; this could be refined since suits can affect spike damage, but we don't yet have a good way to represent that cleanly, given that randomizers are likely to modify suit damage protection.

Freeze an Atomic near the bottom of the stairs above the bomb block, so that it is barely off-camera when Samus drops down. Below, prepare a second Atomic to be frozen. As it approaches, jump up to cause the upper Atomic to come on-camera and descend. Take a hit from the lower Atomic, and freeze it about 1.5 tiles above the floor; use the i-frames to jump on top of the lower Atomic and freeze the upper Atomic while it is inside Samus' head. Immediately moonfall to the left. If successful, Samus will clip two tiles into the floor. Turn to the right, and perform a turnaround spin jump to the left to break the bomb block using Screw Attack. If Samus clips through the Atomics but does not clip into the floor, it means the bottom Atomic was frozen too low. If Samus clips only one tile into the floor, it means the bottom Atomic was frozen too high.

Dev note: Killing the Boyon with Bombs takes several contact hits, but it's assumed Samus can farm at the nearby Zebbos. FIXME: Using a frozen Boyon to extend the runway is not reliable, as it can only be frozen 2 pixels higher than the ground, preventing multi-stutter shortcharges. This could, however, be used for non-shinecharge strats.

Use the spikes, which are not in the water, to jump from platform to platform as a way to cross the room. Requires knowing the position of every spike in the room, and hitting the spikes while morphed can help. The first jump is particularly tough.

Use the spikes, which are not in the water, to jump from platform to platform as a way to cross the room. Requires knowing the position of every spike in the room, and hitting the spikes while morphed can help. The first jump is particularly tough. A springball rolling jump can be used to get past it.

Stay out of the water, and by extension the sand, of the room by using the spikes as platforms. Morphing before landing on the spikes helps to be able to control the knockback. The final spike jump (which would be the most difficult) is avoided by doing a crouch jump into spring ball jump into IBJ to reach the left door. Perform the spring ball jump near max height. Place the first bomb between about 4 and 6 frames after the spring ball jump; ideally it should be just above the water line. Press pause between about 5 and 10 frames after placing the bomb, to disable Spring Ball (a 'spring fling', to reset fall speed). Place the second bomb soon after regaining control, while the game is fading back in. A spike hit in the center of the room can avoided by doing another spring ball jump into IBJ (also with a spring fling).

Dev note: The IBJ at the left side of the room can be done without a 'spring fling' but is far more precise: the first bomb must be placed exactly two frames before the spring ball jump, and the spring ball jump should be performed just before max height, during the 4-frame window between 2 and 5 frames before the last possible frame to jump (there are also 1-frame windows at 0 and 8 frames before the last frame).

Stay out of the water, and by extension the sand, of the room by using the spikes as platforms. Landing on spikes aiming down with no other direction pressed can help control the knockback. Requires knowing the position of every spike in the room. The final spike jump is very difficult.

Using the bottom of the room, shortcharge to use the echoes created by shinesparking to kill all of the Standing Pirates. Either lead the pirate to the left wall or take a hit to gain i-frames to use the full runway to charge a spark To lead a pirate, have it shoot in the direction you want it to go. Then jump overhead and crouch on the other side. Or, jump and aim down while on the sloped tiles just above to lower the camera and wait for the pirate to move to the correct spot. Turn around and diagonal spark the ceiling to kill the lowest pirate, and later the middle pirates. Building a spark towards the left allows for enough run speed to jump to the middle level. Then vertical shinespark out which kills the top pirate.

Aim the ceiling Rinka to travel horizontally across the top of the room and use it to damage boost between the two floating platforms. Killing the lower Rinka shortly before killing the higher Rinka will synchronize their respawn timers so that Samus can jump when the lower Rinka reappears in order to get a good angle on the higher Rinka. Jump to the floating platform ahead of the high Rinka, jumping extra high to lead the Metroid out of the way if it is alive. Jump into the Rinka once it reaches the left edge of the platform to reach the next platform. Then use i-frames to pass through the Metroid if it is still alive.

Glitch through the Mother Brain Zebetites by using a frozen Rinka and i-frames. Freeze the Rinka at its spawn location, then spin jump or down-back onto it after acquiring i-frames to clip inside of the Zebetite, then jump through. I-frames can be acquired from a Rinka hit, a turret shot, or from the Zebetite itself. Note that Zebetites cause i-frames but deal no damage. If Screw Attack is equipped, then a down-back must be used, since spin jumping will cancel i-frames. With Ice+Wave, Samus can freeze the Rinka from above with an angle-down shot; Otherwise Samus must go below, press against the wall, and freeze it with an upward shot. With Ice+Plasma, Samus must be crouched when firing the shot.

Dev note: This technically requires f_KilledZebetites1 to not be set, but there is minimal risk of loss of access, because there is no reason to kill any Zebs without being able to kill them all. It is also possible to Ice Zeb skip through the second Zeb with a morph/unmorph/remorph on a frozen Rinka; this is known as a Remorph Zebetite Skip or a Spring Ball Zebetite Skip. Technically this strat involves `canWallIceClip` but we don't include that requirement, since the positioning of the Rinka is freely normalized, which makes the trick easier than this tech would normally imply. FIXME: It is possible to Ice Zeb Skip out, but it is much harder and would only be useful if getting here with canRiskPermanentLossOfAccess.

Shinespark diagonally into the lower Rinka Spawner while holding down, spamming jump, then pressing forward, in order to glitch through the first Mother Brain Zebetites during Samus' i-frames. The remaining Zebetites will not spawn.

Safely kill the first pirate, then walk through the rest while taking damage or by using Plasma Beam. It is possible to get through the lower three pirates with a single hit while using i-frames to prevent a second hit. Either go below the pirates and use the camera to manipulate them to be closer together, or arm-pump or horizontal damage boost to get through them fast enough.
