Samuel6710: Start on How to Learn Strats Section

'''Strategies''', shortened as just "'''strats'''", typically refer to the most effective methods of moving in a room. This is commonly seen in [[Individual Levels]], where runners try and get the fastest possible time from entering a room to exiting it. Sometimes a strat can involve the use of more than one room or encompass an out of bounds section like a [[Secret World]]. Learning strats is recommended for runners or racers of any level looking to improve their consistency or speed.

=How to Learn Strats=
===Deciding What to Learn===
When you want to improve your speed by learning a strat, you first have to decide what strat you want to learn. A good starting point is to think about rooms that you tend to struggle with in your speedruns or races. If you cannot think of any in particular, view videos of your past runs and try to spot mistakes in your movement. If you find something that could be improved, like inconsistency or difficulty, then that is a good candidate to learn a new strat for. If you feel that your current strats do not have any clear room for improvement but you still want to be faster, then it may benefit to search for [[Individual Levels]] and/or look at higher level speedruns where you can directly compare your strats to others. Many runners compile their fastest room times in [[List of Playlists|Playlists]] that can be used to reference strats and ILs.
===The Learning Process===
When learning a strat, it is recommended to follow movements as closely as possible with low [[Urgency]] to get an idea of how it's done. If you are referencing a dedicated video for a strat, check the description or comments of the video to see if there are instructions or comments on how to perform the strat, as well as input displays or data listed if [[Practice Mod]] is used.

Urgency

2026-07-26T02:51:31Z

Samuel6710: Added page for Urgency with explanation video and segment on how to improve Urgency.

'''Urgency''' is a concept in speedrunning that describes the time spent between being able to initiate an action and initiating the action. It is one of the most important aspects of improving speedrun times.

=="The Concept of Urgency" Explanation Video by JustinDM==
{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/nVOJo7dfFhc}}

==Improving Urgency==
One of the most common methods of improving your urgency is by practicing [[Individual Levels]] and Room [[Strategies]]. By repeating the same room strat and trying to do it faster each time, urgency will naturally start to build up. For example, if there's one room that you perform a [[Scan Dash]] in to a door to get through the room, you can repeat the scan dash repeatedly while trying to input it earlier each time until you are unable to do it any earlier. Urgency can also be improved by having [[Strategies]] for all rooms and required movements. This can be done by building muscle memory through repeating [[Strategies]] in practice, speedruns, and races.

Secret World discovered by: JustinDM (Sep 24, 2021)
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO_k0Deu8rk}}
{{SW Items|items=[[Morph Ball]] [[Varia Suit|Varia]], [[Gravity Suit|Gravity]], [[Phazon Suit]], or Energy Tanks}}

==Overview==
[[Triclops]] have unique properties when Samus breaks out of their grasp when they reach the point to spit Samus out. Because of this, if the Fiery Shores [[Triclops]] enters its '''Butter State''' and Samus is regrabbed in a particular spot, the [[Triclops]] will drop Samus out of bounds, ignoring any collision in the way.
To do this, first enter [[Morph Ball]] and let the Triclops grab you. Then roughly when it reaches its spot to spit Samus out, wiggle the left stick around to try and get instantly released. If done correctly, the Triclops will play its animation of spitting you out, but Samus will not be launched into the lava and instead is dropped out with little speed. If the stick is wiggled too late, the Triclops will launch Samus into the lava. If the stick is wiggled too early, you will be instantly released and the Triclops will play a shaky animation. If you did this correctly, the Triclops enters '''Butter State'''.
Then, roll towards the rock in the wall and when the Triclops approaches, precisely move the stick so the Triclops attempts to grab you and it moves out of its set path, and then let it grab you. If done correctly, the Triclops will spit you cleanly through the wall and out of bounds. If done incorrectly, the Triclops will spit you out but Samus is [[Reposition|repositioned]] to the sides of the Triclops or on top of the Triclops or Samus gets dropped away from the correct spot.

==Setup instructions==
The most consistent setup available is one made by JustinDM.
Instructions in video description:
# Move as I do to the Triclops and set up an instant release. The lineup isn't too precise (as can be seen in the second clip), but you're roughly aiming for the triclops to be lined up with the rock in the back. [https://prnt.sc/rklMVTSiLB5r Visual]
# Once released, roll to the same rock and position yourself about 1/4 of the way over the rock. [https://prnt.sc/R9EJjopBnwTw Visual]
# When the Triclops claw "touches" the left side of the ball, in one smooth motion, press left on the analog stick and circle counter clockwise to up right.

{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/4No_8KfUMdo}}

==Notable Uses==

===Early Power Bombs===
One common use of the Fiery Shores Secret World is to obtain the Power Bomb Expansion early using an Infinite Boost with [[Boost Ball]] After performing the Secret World, move in a particular spot above the Power Bomb Expansion and enter [[Morph Ball]] so that you have downwards speed onto backfaced collision. Then, given you are in the right spot, boost 6 or more times to generate enough downwards speed and unmorph. If done right, Samus should cleanly move through the collision and into the space with the expansion.

{{#ev:youtube|https://youtu.be/HKl7mlck6rg?list=PLpTqPk58kiKhBzB-vPzT_qAJphsEl16yw&t=1648}}

===Presence in Routes===
Because [[Magmoor Caverns]] has very scarce options to get out of bounds and the [[Secret World]] is in the same room as to a [[Power Bomb|Power Bomb Expansion]], the Fiery Shores Secret World has seen use in a variety of speedrunning routes.
*''See also: [[Metroid Prime/List of Secret Worlds]]''

===Any%===
The [http://Double%20IS%20Route Double IS Route]'s modularity is applicable to this [[Secret World]], as the Fiery Shores Secret World can be used to pick up the Power Bomb Expansion after obtaining the [[Wave Beam]] as an alternative to the [[Magma Pool]] [[Infinite Speed]], which is about 20 seconds faster.

{{Connecting Rooms|rooms=[[Shore Tunnel]][[Transport Tunnel B (Magmoor Caverns)|Transport Tunnel B]][[Warrior Shrine]]}}''This room has a dedicated [[Secret World]] page. For more information, see [[Fiery Shores SW]].''

'''Fiery Shores''' is a room located in the [[Magmoor Caverns]] region of [[Metroid Prime]]. It contains a missile expansion. It is a long, complex room that covers a lot of horizontal distance. At both ends, there are a series of platforms that lie just above the lava, which are bridged by a couple sets of flamethrowers that are attached to the ceiling. When the flamethrowers are active, they risk pushing Samus into the lava. They can be frozen using the [[Ice Beam]], although this is slow in a speedrun setting. In the middle of the room are two main platforms which both have a [[Triclops]] circling around them. The one that is nearer to [[Shore Tunnel]] has a set of crates. These crates are useful during [[Varialess Magmoor Run|VMR]] for providing extra health. There is also another set of crates that obscures the entry to a [[Morph Ball]] sequence that leads to the missile expansion, though getting to this missile without morph ball is possible.

The room also has a connection to [[Warrior Shrine]], which is intended to be a one-way connection as the only way to pass through it naturally is through Warrior Shrine. However, for a [[Tool-Assisted Speedruns|TAS]], it is possible to transition into Warrior Shrine by getting the required height in Morph Ball. The main reason to do this is to obtain that room's [[Power Bomb]] expansion early.

Additionally, the room has a [[Secret World]] that takes advantage of a [[Triclops]].

Boost Ball

2026-07-25T17:40:52Z

Samuel6710: Add wall boost hyperlink

'''Boost Ball''' is an item in the Prime games that upgrades the [[Morph Ball]], allowing it to boost while on land, giving Samus a lot of speed in return. It is used in a variety of different ways, from its intended use of moving up half-pipes, to general movement optimization, to activating designated morph ball spinners. It is even the basis for many different tricks and individual room strategies.

==General==
The behavior of the Boost Ball differs between games, leading to large differences for how it is used in speedruns. Despite this, there are a few tricks that persist between games.

===Sideways Unmorph===
Using light analog inputs, it is possible to get Samus moving in one direction, boost in that direction, and then have Samus be facing in a different direction when she is unmorphing. This is because the game updates Samus' facing angle to the direction she is rolling in when the player uses stronger analog inputs (i.e. when the analog stick is fully pointing in one direction.)

==Metroid Prime==
In Prime 1, the Boost Ball can be found in the room [[Phendrana Canyon]]. The Boost Ball in Prime 1 has no speed cap, and additionally, there is very little delay that is added between boosts, meaning that it is possible to gain large amounts of speed very quickly.

===Infinite Boosting===
Infinite Boosting is a trick that's exclusive to Prime 1, since it's possible to boost so quickly. It's done by going out of bounds and boosting into any piece of collision. The Morph Ball will stick to the collision, allowing Samus to boost for indefinite amounts of time. When Samus unmorphs, she will be placed inside the room, provided enough speed has been built.

It can also be done inbounds in certain circumstances, such as bypassing the laser wall in [[Elite Research]] from behind.

==Metroid Prime 2: Echoes==
When the game starts, Samus will already have Boost Ball in her inventory, and this can be kept using [[Item Loss Skip]]. If the player goes through the item loss sequence however, Boost Ball can be obtained by fighting [[Boost Guardian]] in [[Dark Torvus Arena]]. The Boost Ball has a greater delay between boosts in Echoes (about a second), making infinite boosting impossible and reducing its overall speed benefits.

===Boost Cooldown===
After performing a Boost, the game starts a short timer lasting approximately a second. This timer restricts Samus from boosting until it returns back to 0. Due to the way this timer is programmed, it has a number of small quirks. Namely, if Samus performs a Boost and unmorphs immediately afterwards, then the timer will be stuck until Samus morphs again. This means that the next time Samus morphs, it will take longer than normal for Boost Ball to start charging again, because the cooldown period still won't have ended by that point.

===Boosting Through Walls===
While infinite boosting is impossible to do in Echoes, it is still possible to boost through walls while unmorphing sideways. This can also be done in Prime 1 to reduce the time spent on infinite boosting, though it isn't required there.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ8_LTBM9jg}}

===Sticky Boost===
Sticky Boosts are a trick that was introduced in Echoes. It requires that the player be attached to a [[Spider Ball]] track and be hanging off the very edge of it. By boosting, Samus will be propelled in that direction. This is mainly used during the [[Power Bomb Guardian]] boss fight.

The room also has a connection to [[Warrior Shrine]], which is intended to be a one-way connection as the only way to pass through it naturally is through Warrior Shrine. However, for a [[Tool-Assisted Speedruns|TAS]], it is possible to transition into Warrior Shrine by getting the required height in Morph Ball. The main reason to do this is to obtain that room's [[Power Bomb]] expansion early.

Additionally, the room has a [[Secret World]] that takes advantage of a [[Triclops]].

Double IS Route

2026-07-25T17:31:21Z

Samuel6710: Samuel6710 moved page Metroid Prime/Double IS Route to Double IS Route: Rename for better searchability when typing "Double IS Route"

== Overview ==
The '''Double IS route''', or the '''IBBFAF route,''' is the current fastest known real time-viable [[Any%]] route for Metroid Prime. This route has the unusual distinction of being both the fastest route and the "beginners route" due to its modularity; players can skip some or all of the difficult tricks in the route without changing its structure. The vast majority of current players, no matter their skill, use this route.

The fastest single-segment time anyone has achieved with this route is T3's 0:49, which is the current world record.
{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p3jBuvu0Ao}}

Additionally T3's run also broke the [[Frigate Escape]] record with a time of 5:35:35.

The route is named as such because it requires players to perform the [[Infinite Speed]] glitch twice: once to get the [[Artifact of Sun]], and again to get the [[Power Bomb Expansion]] in [[Magma Pool]]. It is sometimes jokingly known as the '''IBBFAF route''' due to the fact that players perform the [[Early Ice Beam|Ice Beam Before Flaahgra]] (IBBF) [[wallcrawl]] after Flaahgra (AF).

== Options ==
This route is convenient in that it allows players to add or remove difficult tricks without changing the rest of the route. There are four main options from which players can choose.
# Get [[Wave Beam]] in-bounds and do [[Sun IS]] to get the [[Artifact of Sun]]; replaces [[Wave/Sun IS]].
# Do the puzzle in [[Energy Core]] and do far Chozo Ruins in-bounds; replaces [[IBBFAF]].
# Fight [[Thardus]] to get the [[Spider Ball]]; replaces [[Spiderless Shafts]].
# Get the [[Artifact of Newborn]] after obtaining the [[Phazon Suit]]; replaces [[Early Newborn]].
# Fight [[Metroid Prime Exo]]; replaces [[Exo Skip Wallcrawl]].

It is commonly suggested that the harder tricks should be added back into the route in order of increasing difficulty and increasing time savings. This leads to the suggestion that players learn and incorporate the tricks in this order: Spiderless Shafts --> Wave/Sun IS --> IBBFAF --> Exo Skip <--> Early Newborn.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWjTI-cJqPM||right|Biotech Research Area 1 SW - Morph Reposition.}}
Secret World discovered by: JustinDM (Sep 27, 2015)
===Overview===
Because the space in between the collision is big enough to fit Samus's unmorphed model but small enough to not be able to fit the [[Morph Ball]] model, morphing into this spot will initiate a [[Reposition]] out of bounds. The space is far away enough from open space that there are no other valid spots to [[Reposition]] to, so Samus is forced out of bounds. However, this requires morphing into a particular spot in order to be placed out of bounds, otherwise the morph ball will be stuck in place, unable to move until Samus unmorphs.

Secret World discovered by: FusionVaria (Mar 20, 2015)
===Overview===
The Frigate Orpheon was likely the first area created in Metroid Prime's development, and as a result, it contains some odd methods of connecting rooms not seen elsewhere in the game. During the Frigate Escape sequence, a hatch blasts open connecting Biotech Research Area 1 to Subventilation Shaft Section A. This connection site does not contain any sort of door, and therefore, during the time it takes Subventilation Shaft Section A to load, there is an open hole leading straight out of bounds at this doorway, not blocked by anything. If Samus moves quickly enough, she can beat the load time and jump out of bounds through this hole.

Ledge Clip Jump

2026-07-25T16:26:12Z

Samuel6710: Reword Ledge Clip example description.

'''Ledge Clips''', also known as '''Ledge Clip Jumps''' are a trick in the Prime games that allows for Samus to get more height from a jump than normal. They are a notoriously precise exploit, as the execution is frame perfect, so they are most commonly used in TAS runs. Ledge Clips have non-TAS applications, but due to how inconsistent they are, they don't have any use in RTA runs. They occur when the following conditions are met:
*Samus jumps while rubbing up against a ledge
*Samus snaps onto the ground as a result, abruptly ending the jump
*Samus jumps on the exact frame the game registers that she is on the ground
Getting the second part of this equation to work is largely circumstantial, depending on the collision itself and its positioning relative to Samus. Precise micro-positioning is required to achieve a Ledge Clip in most circumstances, although some Collision Geometry is more lenient than others. The reason this works is because Ledge Clips entail landing on the collision with upward momentum, and when this is done, there is a single frame where Samus will enter a grounded state before losing her upward momentum. If a jump is performed on this frame, Samus will carry over the vertical speed she landed with into the new jump. This produces results identical to what [[Slope Jump|Slope Jumping]] does: it gives your jump a higher initial starting speed. Instead of a vertical speed of 0, a jump can be initiated with a max speed of 11.667 or 14 vertical speed (depending on whether or not the [[Space Jump Boots]] are in your inventory).

==Notable Uses==
A good example of a non-TAS application of a Ledge Clip Jump is in [[Metroid Prime]] located in [[Shore Tunnel]], where you can obtain the item and escape without [[Morph Ball Bomb|Morph Ball Bombs]] and [[Space Jump Boots]]. On the right side, when facing the path to [[Monitor Station]], there is a ledge with a lower and upper part of collision. When holding into the upper part while standing on the lower part, you can hold into the upper part and jump in a particular spot to Ledge Clip onto the upper part. This allows you to perform a Ledge Clip Jump off of it, giving enough height to escape.

Boost Jump

2026-07-25T15:28:56Z

Samuel6710:

'''Boost Jumping''' (also known as '''Boost Rolljumping (BRJ)''' or '''Boost Boost''') is a trick in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]] and [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]] that abuses [[Instant Morph/Unmorph|Instant Unmorphs]] in order to maintain a horizontal speed well beyond the normal limits. Fundamentally, the trick is the same as a standard [[Roll Jump]], both mechanically and in terms of inputs, but its practical uses depend on how the Instant Unmorph is gotten.

=Metroid Prime 2: Echoes=

If performed optimally, a Boost Jump will have Samus maintain a speed of over 30 units. That is over double the intended speed cap, making it one of the fastest forms of movement in the game.

==Notable Uses==
===Grand Abyss===
This method of crossing [[Grand Abyss]] is by far the easiest method of crossing the gap.

===Torvus Transport Access (Temple Grounds)===

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlJJVslNkoU}}

=Metroid Prime 3: Corruption=

==Notable Uses==

A Boost Jump in Metroid Prime 3 is typically executed by combining it with [[Bomb Space Jump|Spring Space Jumping]]. This is sometimes referred to as a '''Boost Spring Space Jump'''. It can be used to cross large distances to perform [[Secret World|Secret Worlds]], to skip requirements, or for general movement.

Here are a couple of examples, one of which is a [[Secret World]] in [[Gateway Hall]].

Boost Jump

2026-07-25T15:26:26Z

Samuel6710:

'''Boost Jumping''' (also known as '''Boost Rolljumping (BRJ)''' or '''Boost Boost''') is a trick in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]] and [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]] that abuses [[Instant Morph/Unmorph|Instant Unmorphs]] in order to maintain a horizontal speed well beyond the normal limits. Fundamentally, the trick is the same as a standard [[Roll Jump]], both mechanically and in terms of inputs, but its practical uses depend on how the Instant Unmorph is gotten.

## Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

If performed optimally, a Boost Jump will have Samus maintain a speed of over 30 units. That is over double the intended speed cap, making it one of the fastest forms of movement in the game.

==Notable Uses==
===Grand Abyss===
This method of crossing [[Grand Abyss]] is by far the easiest method of crossing the gap.

===Torvus Transport Access (Temple Grounds)===
In this room, Hive Dash used to be performed in order to go out of bounds. However, the boost jump method provides an alternative way of getting the SW.

## Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

A Boost Jump in Metroid Prime 3 is typically executed by combining it with [[Bomb Space Jump|Spring Space Jumping]]. This is sometimes referred to as a '''Boost Spring Space Jump'''. It can be used to cross large distances to perform [[Secret World|Secret Worlds]], to skip requirements, or for general movement.

Here are a couple of examples, one of which is a [[Secret World]] in [[Gateway Hall]].

Using [[Screw Attack]], an [[Instant Morph/Unmorph|Instant Morph]], and some tricky out of bounds navigation, it is possible to get out of bounds and avoid the large terminal fall trigger below.

It is worth noting that to continue wallcrawling to [[Generator B Access]], you must pick up the Energy Cell, as the load trigger will be deactivated and the room will be locked, preventing you from loading the room.

Scan Dash (Prime)

2026-06-10T02:07:56Z

Samuel6710:

'''Dashing''' is possible due to a lack of sideways speedcap and an oversight with the sideways Strafe mechanic. During a Strafe, Samus is accelerated at the start of the movement and decelerated at the end, with Samus's overall speed being determined by how long B is pressed. By letting go of the lock on during a Strafe, the game does not decelerate Samus. Combined with a lack of sideways speedcap, this technique can build speed very quickly and cross large distances. Scan dashing with the scan visor can only be performed on version 0-00, 0-01 or 0-30 copy of [[Metroid Prime]] and all other versions must use Combat or other visors.

== Dash ==
To perform a Dash:
*Lock on to a target, either a node with Scan Visor or an enemy with a different Visor.
*Start a sideways strafe, optimally pressing B for one frame, and let go of L to drop the lock on around 7 frames (generally speaking) from when you input your jump.
[[Category: Movement Technique]]
== R - Dash ==
*Instead of letting go of L around 7 frames from when you input your Jump, press and hold R, either temporarily or for the entirety of the Dash. Because of the mechanics of '''Limited Influence''', this increases your speed and prevents the effects of lost speed when using Space Jump if L is pressed while R is held.
[[Category: Movement Technique]]
[[Category: TAS Technique]]
== Double Dash ==
*This dash can only be done with the [[Space Jump Boots|Space Jump Boots.]] Instead of letting go of L around 7 frames after your initial jump, use your Space Jump briefly after using your initial jump and then let go of L. This generates more speed than a regular dash and gives you more control than an R-Dash, albeit this sacrifices height due to using Space Jump early.
[[Category: Movement Technique]]
[[Category: TAS Technique]]
== Scuffed Dash ==
*Instead of pressing B after holding left or right on the stick, Scuffed Dashes perform this in reverse, where B is pressed before moving the stick. To perform a Scuffed Dash, press B, lock onto a target (can also be done before pressing B), and flick the stick left/right. This will cause Samus to gain significant downwards speed along with sideways speed, with more downwards speed being gained the longer you hold L.
*Scuffed Dashes are the first part of performing '''Extended Dashes'''.
* A good example of using a Scuffed Dash is in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlonS1WtyQk&t=3188s 100% after picking up Arbor Chamber.] The Bloodflower is used as a target to scuff a dash down to [[Root Tunnel]].
[[Category: Movement Technique]]
[[Category: TAS Technique]]
== Extended Dash ==
*Extended Dashes can be done by performing a Scuffed Dash into the ground, pressing '''R''' when the actual Dash is done to enter '''Limited Influence''', and [[Bunny Hopping|Bunny Hopping]] once landed to retain speed. While Extended Dashes are useful for optimizing distance in dashes, other methods of Dashing are generally better. Extended Dashing is significantly more useful in [https://wiki.metroidprime.run/wiki/Scan_Dash_(Echoes)#:~:text=YouTube-,Extended%20Dash,-%5Bedit%5D Metroid Prime 2.]
[[Category: Movement Technique]]
[[Category: TAS Technique]]
== Multi Strafe Dash ==
*Multi Strafe Dashes are a complex and difficult form of Dashing. To perform this Dash method, set up a regular Dash. Then, after pressing B and strafing, quickly let go of L and return the stick to or close to neutral, and hold L again to regain the lock on and flick the stick again to perform another strafe mid-strafe which is faster than a regular Dash.
*The most RTA viable form of Multi Strafe Dashes is a '''Double Strafe Dash''', which is a Multi Strafe Dash with one extra strafe.
*While this increases your speed, because the strafe is performed after Samus is airborne, this can cause the Dash to be '''Scuffed'''.
*Multi Strafe Dashes take advantage of how [[Jumping|Jumpstate 1]] works, where, after jumping, there is a 14-frame window (0.233 seconds) to perform a strafe. However, there is no limit on the number of strafes that can be performed within '''Jumpstate 1'''.
*An example of a useful Multi Strafe Dash is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0A7p1O2qC0&t=2865s Double Strafe Dash in 100% in Fiery Shores].
