canHBJ (Expert)

A Horizontal Bomb Jump (HBJ) uses three bombs to execute. Place a bomb to get boosted horizontally; place a second bomb immediately as Samus is propelled. Place a third bomb, mid-air, as far horizontally as possible while still being able to return and get propelled by the second and then third bombs.

Dependencies: canBombHorizontally

Dev note: This can be done from a wall jump or from a mid-air morph, eliminating the need for the first bomb, but these are very situational and should be described in a notable strat.

Midair HBJ (Expert)
Red Tower
From: 7
Junction (Bottom of Room)

Starting on the right ledge at the bottom of Red Tower, wall jump just below the middle plant, just above the top ripper. Place two bombs out of the wall jump landing on the first bomb and getting boosted by both. While rising, place two more bombs for a second HBJ. Colliding with the side of the ledge after the third bomb can help.
