{{Connecting Rooms|rooms=[[Alcove]][[Canyon Cavern]][[Exterior Docking Hangar]][[Gully]][[Temple Hall]][[Waterfall Cavern]]}}''This room has a dedicated [[Secret World]] page. For more information, see [[Landing Site SW (Tallon Overworld)]] and [[Landing Site SW (Tallon Overworld) (Wii)]].''

'''Landing Site''' is a room located in the [[Tallon Overworld]] region of [[Metroid Prime]]. It is the first room Samus enters following the escape sequence in the [[Space Pirate Frigate]]. It also contains a missile expansion and a [[Secret World]].
==Space Jump First==
Space Jump First is one of the most important tricks in the game, as it allows for the first few areas of the run to be sped up dramatically. Obtaining Space Jump immediately opens up a ton of movement options right from the get-go and opens up a ton of routing options and sequence breaks. It is possible to do this trick from either side of the ship.

===R-Dash===
This method is slightly faster than the other one as you can dash to the ledge without moving at all and keep the lock on. Lock onto the Sac by the door that leads to [[Artifact Temple]], then dash, hold down, and hold R. make sure your inputs are done quickly. Once on the ledge, you can do more dashes at the top to save some time or simply jump across to collect Space Jump.

===Sap Sac Dash===
For this method, simply walk to the rear of the ship and do a dash off of the Sap Sac. Release the control stick once you release L. This method is done if you have a version of the game that doesn't allow for Scan Dashing, such as 0-02 or PAL.

===Left Side===
A much harder, but faster method of Space Jump First involves using the left side.

==="Glitchless"===
This variant of SJF doesn't involve performing a Scan Dash.

==Ship Dash==
You can dash from the ship all the way to the door near [[Artifact Temple]]. To do this, exit your ship and lock onto the piece of grass on the left of your ship. Start a dash and bend it upwards, while pressing R as soon as possible. Press and hold L for the second jump and release L like a normal L-Jump. Be sure to hold up the entire time. You can continue holding R if you wish. Just as long as you press it almost immediately it will not matter.

It is important to note that your B press is very important for this dash. Make sure you tap it for as little frames as possible.

==Secret World==
* Go to the door toward the Artifact Temple. Morph, and perform a 2BSJ to clear the wall to your left.
* This was secret world #24 in the original numbering scheme.

Varialess Magmoor Run

2021-10-09T18:17:32Z

JustinDM:

The Varialess Magmoor Run, or VMR, is the name given to the act of navigating the [heated] rooms in Magmoor Caverns. Previously thought to be only for randomizer or novelty purposes, the VMR has been theorized to save time in 100%.

== History ==

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/other_than_no_boost_ball_and_no_spacejump_what_is_left.html September 18th, 2003] - VMR first theorized by user Xin.

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/the_biggest_sequence_break_you_could_ever_dream_of.html April 2nd, 2004] - [Ice Beam Before Flaahgra] discovered by runner Flamancipator. This allowed for a 4th energy tank to be collected.

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/3_energy_tank_varialess_magmoor_run4.html June 28th, 2004] - User Ekarderif states that Kip has completed a 4 Tank VMR with 3 energy remaining.

[https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/3_tank_vmr.html July 7th, 2005] - Runner smilingjack13 completes the 3 Tank VMR. At the time, the use of [Secret Worlds] was banned. This completion of the VMR was significant because it proved that you didn't need to go out of bounds at any point to skip Varia Suit.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlhD7Qixfj4 March 26th, 2016] - TASer FusionVaria completed the 2 Tank VMR TAS. This was a proof of concept made using savestates and slowdowns. A 2 Tank VMR has yet to be completed under RTA conditions.
