canSpringwall (Very Hard)

A mid-air Spring Ball jump that starts with a wall jump to gain more height. It often benefits from the momentum change when equipping Spring Ball while morphed and moving horizontally after a WallJump.

G-Mode, Gravity Springwall (Extreme)
Lava Dive Room
From: 2
Right Door
To: 1
Left Door

Wall jump off of the Upper-Left Namihe and then Spring Ball jump up and out of the Lava. Pausing early in order to get more horizontal distance by equiping Spring Ball may help.

Entrance condition:

{
  "comeInWithGMode": {
    "mode": "any",
    "morphed": false
  }
}

Requires:

{
  "notable": "HiJump"

"canSpringwall"
"HiJump"
"canUseEnemies"
{
  "lavaFrames": 180
}
"h_HeatedGModeOpenDifferentDoor"

Dev note: This strat is not useful unless Samus has lava proof but not heat proof. Otherwise, the non-G-mode variant can be used. FIXME: These lava frames are lenient, they are what it would take without Gravity (the non-G-mode variant also doesnt account for Gravity).
HiJump and Springwall (Very Hard)
Lava Dive Room
From: 4
Lava, Left Wall
To: 3
Above Lava Junction

Walljump off of the Upper-Left Namihe and then Spring Ball jump up and out of the Lava. Delay the pause until in position to perform the Spring Ball jump because Lava physics will reduce Samus' horizontal momentum. It may help to also delay the Morph.

Requires:

{
  "notable": "HiJump"
}
{
  "or": [
    "h_lavaProof",
    "canSuitlessLavaDive"
  ]
}

"HiJump"
"canUseEnemies"
{
  "heatFrames": 195
}
{
  "lavaFrames": 180
}

Dev note: Works with or without Gravity This Springwall is easier than regular SpringWalls because the lava slows down the required inputs.

Springwall (Expert)
Post Crocomire Jump Room
From: 5
Small Platforms Junction
To: 3
Item

A particularly precise springwall. Aim the walljump at the bottom of the second sloped wall fixture, where it looks like you cant jump off of. Optimize pause timing, use an instant morph, and get a max height springball jump. A delayed wall jump helps.

Requires:

{
  "notable": "Springwall"

R-Mode Forced Standup Clip (Insane)
Golden Torizo's Room
From: 2
Right Door
To: 1
Left Door

Use a Crystal Flash to refill reserve energy. If Golden Torizo is alive, perform the Crystal Flash in the left corner of the room; otherwise it can be done near the door. Then use heat damage to trigger an R-mode forced standup near the crumble blocks with upward momentum, in order to clip up through them. Several different combinations of items and techniques can make this possible: 1) Space Jump, with a mid-air morph (not required but makes it easier), 2) HiJump and a mid-air Spring Ball jump, most easily by equipping both HiJump and SpringBall during the pause, 3) A walljump into Spring Ball jump, equipping Spring Ball soon after the wall jump into order to gain horizontal speed before the mid-air jump. 4) HiJump and Speedbooster, running and jumping into a mid-air morph, In every case, precise timing is needed to be in the correct location when reserves trigger, just below the crumbles but without bonking them. Having less upward momentum can provide more lenience for timing the forced standup clip, though if Samus' momentum is not enough to make it onto the ledge then a crumble jump may also be required.

Entrance condition:

{
  "comeInWithRMode": {}

Clears obstacles: door_2

Dev note: FIXME: A variant of this strat could go to the item node instead of the door, possibly with slightly different heat frames at the end. FIXME: As an alternative to doing a Crystal Flash, Golden Torizo could be used as a farm, with canRiskPermanentLossOfAccess.
Springwall with Bombs (Very Hard)
Golden Torizo's Room
From: 5
Golden Torizo

Mid-Air Spring Ball Jump Over Crumble Blocks (Very Hard)
Mickey Mouse Room
From: 4
Junction Below Bomb Blocks
To: 2
Top Right Door

This is possible by jumping on the crumble blocks into a mid-air spring ball jump, or by avoiding them. The crumbles can be avoided by starting with either an air ball, a 3 tile high mid-air morph, or a low spring wall. These are generally safer, as bouncing on the crumble blocks with Spring Ball is trivial.

Requires:

{
  "obstaclesCleared": [
    "A"
  ]
}
"canTrickySpringBallJump"
