canUnderwaterBombIntoSpringBallJump (Extreme+)

Use the tiny amount of height gain from an underwater Bomb explosion to re-equip Spring Ball and perform a mid-air Spring Ball jump. This is most often used to get a second Spring Ball jump when underwater without Hi-Jump. Bombs are required since Power Bombs will prevent pausing. This is typically used after a midair Spring Ball jump, but it can also be used from the ground in G-mode with artificial morph, or rarely at the top of a cross room jump into water.

The standard variant: crouch, pause, then delay the jump as long as possible. Perform a very quick mid-air morph; it can help to keep holding down when crouching, to buffer the aim-down input. For the second jump, pause should ideally be pressed slightly before the mid-air jump. When exiting that pause, with Spring Ball unequipped, lay a Bomb slightly after regaining control. This Bomb should not be buffered, but should be placed between 5 frames and about 10 frames after regaining control, while the screen is still fairly dark. The end of the frame window for when to place the Bomb is more or less lenient, depending on the precision of the earlier steps of the Spring Ball jump. After laying the bomb, there is a 3-frame window for when to perform the final Spring Ball jump relative to when the Bomb was laid. Usually this will be done as a pause-buffered Spring Ball jump, in which case pause must be pressed between 23 and 25 frames after laying the Bomb. The artificial morph variant: This is very similar, except Samus will only have a total of two jumps instead of three, so it is a bit simpler to perform. Pause and jump just before the fade out finishes. Turn off Spring Ball and place a Bomb about 8 pixels below the maximum possible height (there is an 11 frame window for placing the Bomb). Pause again between 23-25 frames after placing the bomb and equip Spring Ball, then buffer the jump in the unpause.

Perform a double Spring Ball jump using a precisely timed bomb boost to propel Samus upward just long enough to get the mid-air Spring Ball jump. This needs to be done multiple times to cross the room with no other items; using Spring Flings to cross from peak to peak can reduce the required number of bomb into Spring Ball jumps to two or three.

Direct G-mode Morph, Bomb Into Spring Ball Jump, Crystal Flash Interrupt (Extreme+)
East Ocean
From: 2
Right Door
To: 3
Junction (Left side Pit)

Perform a double Spring Ball jump using a precisely timed bomb boost to propel Samus upward just long enough to get the mid-air Spring Ball jump. This needs to be done multiple times to cross the room with no other items; using Spring Flings to cross from peak to peak can reduce the required number of bomb into Spring Ball jumps to just one or two. To Crystal Flash interrupt, it is required to avoid double hitting the Skultera with the Power Bomb, and to position the Crystal Flash so that the Skultera can hit Samus from above so it avoids the light orb. To do this, use the bottom-left Skultera, and move it off-camera at the far left end of its cycle. Go to the far right end of it's cycle and on the Crystal Flash on the sloped tile just below where it ends. Once the Skultera gets hit by the Power Bomb explosion, it will start moving, even while off-camera.

Item

Use Bombs to kill the Puyos. Then gain speed by rolling from left to right. Press pause and use Spring Ball to jump before the down slope, on the last possible frame before the pause hits. Unequip Spring Ball, hold right until Samus is about halfway to the morph tunnel, lay a Bomb, then pause again, and perform a mid-air Spring Ball jump into the tunnel.

The frame-perfect jump allows Samus to maintain much higher horizontal speed, without which it is not possible to reach the morph tunnel.

Platform Below Top Door

Use a platform below the door in the other room to jump through the door while aiming down, carrying upward momentum into this room. Hold down and back through the transition, to perform a momentum-conserving turnaround past the corner. Perform a mid-air Spring Ball jump, timing a pause to hit soon after the mid-air jump. Unequip Spring Ball, lay a Bomb about half a tile below the peak of the jump. Press pause at the peak of the jump, to reequip Spring Ball immediately after Samus is boosted by the bomb. Buffer a jump out of the unpause, to get a second Spring Ball jump and make it up.

Climb up and lure and Oum to the right pit, then time the Crystal Flash so that the Oum can hit Samus. This is fairly lenient, but one method is to Crystal Flash near the shot block pillar while the Oum is to the right of Samus moving right. With some testing, it seemed like the Oum was more likely to hit Samus when it is moving to the left.

This is possible with a Bomb into Spring Ball jump using a precisely timed bomb boost to propel Samus upward just long enough to get the mid-air Spring Ball jump.
