Exit Colosseum quickly by retaining speed from the precious room. Be careful not to hit the first platform!

Shows setups and strategies in order to help one progress through the mountain in Maridia. This strategy also works for 14% X-Ice.

Recommend watching on yt directly, there is some important info in the description.

Here.

Both rooms are relatively easy, just gotta be careful on the spikes.

In SM Arcade, the West Sand Hole contains a Missile pack and a Reserve Tank, a tantalizing treat for anyone capable of reaching it (in addition to the BREAK FREE achievement and associated point gain). Otherwise, the West Sand Hole is usually only visited suitless in randomizers due to its otherwise lackluster contents.

Note that this video expends 3 Power Bombs, but the full trick may be performed using only two. The Reserve Tank may be acquired by exploiting Samus' turning animation.

This is most easily performed by rolling against the pedestal in Morph Ball, then tapping Left to turn around without moving, then unmorphing and turning Right to clip into the Reserve Tank item with little fuss.


More details on individual steps in the trick are available in the YouTube video description.

using the crystal flash clip to clip through crumble blocks when underwater without gravity suit, can be used to access botwoon without ice or access shaktool room

100% map strategy for mount everest which doesn't rely on grapple jumps.

The fastest strat for this room involves charging a shinespark, getting over the pipe column, and sparking to the right to get through the Speed Booster blocks.

You can clip through the Oums by pushing against them, then jumping against them twice while aiming down.

Mostly only useful for Randomizers and Puzzles, but it's good to know in the situation you need it! I hope you have Hi-Jump Boots!

1. Stand on one end of the sand pit with your back against the wall.

2. Crouch.

3. Hold jump. Just after the initial press, hold forward as well.

4. At the crest of your jump, jump forward again. Continue to do so until you reach the far wall. Turn around, and continue spin-jumping until you are out!

The first shown method in the video needs good timing and precision, and is thus meant for TAS (one turns around as ball right after shooting the projectile). The second method is easily doable: First one can get in contact with shaktool for temporary invulnerability to safely get to the right side without any annoying knockback as ball to shoot at the snail during the crouch and facing left when it gets hit so it stays within the screen which it needs to be able to move. Then one gets temporary invulnerability again to be able to quickly move past the snail (without getting stopped by it). The general idea of the trick is to manipulate the snail to break blocks instead of Shaktool.

Little tutorial on how to do the janky bomb jump to cross this room without Gravity in NTSC.

If you have Hi-Jump Boots and Speed Booster but no Gravity Suit, you can jump from the top-left ledge in the room, then walljump off the side of the pedestal.

The easiest method to collect the Energy Tank is to charge a shinespark, then jump off the ledge towards the center of the room, and spark up. The fastest way is to charge the spark while you open the red door, but you could alternatively open the door, then charge the spark through the room transition.

If you end up standing on the Energy Tank's platform after collecting it, you can run off the ledge to the right, angle down, and fire to expose the missiles, and you'll collect them. You'll likely need to stand left of the center of the platform to get enough run speed for this.

To get the missile pack, the optimal shinespark is along the floor, but this is a very difficult short charge, requiring a stutter-3, or a 4-tap. Slightly slower is to go up to the platform with the door to Fish Tank, and do a 2-tap. A 1-tap will also work, but the spark would need to be charged very late on the platform, so a 2-tap would be more comfortable for most runners.

The spark can be lined up using either the 3-leaf plant on the ground, or by brushing up against the right side of the bottom-left floating platform.

Without short charging, this requires starting a charge in Crab Tunnel, but many people find this more difficult than the 2-tap on the platform above, because of the door transition being in the middle of the maneuver.

By crouching and holding down while on the crab you'll get pushed up by it while it's moving without taking damage.

Note that the camera will not follow you when you do this so you have to rely on visual cues for when to jump off onto the platform.

(This does not work in the PAL version)

Due to the slightly different physics used in the PAL version, this spark cannot be done from the floor, jumping up before activating the spark is required to clear the overhang.

The most common method to reach the upper right door of the room is to charge a shinespark along the floor of the room, then hold Angle Up to do a diagonal spark while standing between the second and third floating islands.

If you want to save health for Botwoon, you can spinjump up before sparking to slightly reduce the distance required.

Only a couple seconds slower than the diagonal spark to the top-right of Everest, you can also get there with a jump from just after the peak of the second island, then walljumping the rest of the way up. You'll need to charge a shot in order to Pseudo Screw through the Powamp.

My tutorial for the Draygon RBO Fight

My tutorial for the Grapple Jump escape from Draygon's room in RBO

A tutorial by foosda on how to escape Draygon's room suitless if you have grapple. Works generally everywhere where you can swing suitless underwater with grapple.

If you do a full jump when Draygon's babies first contact her, you can dboost off of the bottom turret, and the timing will be good for the drops to appear just as you start passing through them.

I made a video about this to try and help people out. Good luck!

Quick video on how to Crystal Flash clip. Two setups:

-- Gravity + Morph Bombs
-- Suitless

Can be used to break crumble blocks in Pre-Botwoon and Pants rooms.

BONUS CLIP

The trick is to align to the wall before the screen starts scrolling upward. This is horrible, but I wanted to show this in some way, so here. Pardon the audio being a second or so behind. Shoutouts to ED, behemoth, and Feral for the strat.

A demonstration and explanation of the most simple and easy method to Skip Botwoon using major glitches.

alternate setup for the botwoon xfactor

Explanation of botwoon's opening patterns.

Get in the corner with the mochtroid, crouch and hold both angle up and angle down to have Samus aim straight up, and then freeze the mochtroid. You then want to do a jump and then press down immediately (do not spam so you do not morph) and it should put Samus in a standing position inside the mochtroid. Do another jump and press down and you should be in a position where you can press up then jump to clip through the floor. If you have trouble with the second down input, you can hold down the entire time and you will automatically down jump on the first frame, making it work every time.

How to clip through the crumble blocks with a crystal flash.

Basically only useful in Door Rando, or SMZ3 Crossover Rando. Perhaps some Puzzles, as well.

1. Tap forward, then hold jump to perform a stationary spinjump.

2. At the crest of your jump, hold Forward and mash Jump

Just a short demonstration/explanation for getting to the supers and missiles in aqueduct without a shinespark or bluesuit. Another thing to note is that you must have gravity suit to do this.

A tutorial by Mackemagi about how to kill Draygon in 2 rounds and get blue suit. This can also be done in 100% or anytime you have gravity and speed. You'll have to adjust a bit if you don't have hi-jump. It is possible to do this with out the X Factor but you will have less room for error on the sparks.
