	By unmorphing out of a bomb jump at the right moment, Samus can gain extra height. Unmorphing instantly places Samus in her "standing" state, which has different physics from "morphed" state, namely, vertical deceleration is much higher while Samus is morphed. There is a trade-off, however, because Samus' Standing state has a vertical speed limit whereas Morph Ball does not. If Samus unmorphs going faster than this speed limit, her vertical speed will be dragged to this limit. This makes unmmorphing early unfavorably cut off the potential height of a bomb jump. Likewise, unmorphing late means Samus spends more time in the rapid deceleration of morph ball, and won't have much momentum left going into the unmorph. A properly timed unmorph is done the frame before Samus' speed dips below her Standing Vertical Speed-Cap, which is altered by having [[Space Jump Boots]] in your inventory. Having [[Space Jump Boots]] increases Samus' vertical speed-cap to 14.0, whereas not having them has a speed-cap of 11.667. As a result, some Bomb Jumps are only possible with the extra height [[Space Jump Boots]] allows, and mostly all bomb jumps are made easier by having them.

	Bombs have a '''Bomb Counter''' whose initial value is 3 as well as a '''Bomb Refill Timer'''. When a Bomb is laid the counter decreases by 1 and the timer begins to count down from 3 seconds. The bomb that is laid can then be hit anywhere within this figure shown. Note this is slightly smaller than the full size of the bomb. This means Samus cannot get hit if she is too far below a bomb. The radius of this figure is .7 units, with Samus being unable to hit the bomb if she is located half the radius or .35 units below where the bomb was laid. Hitting a bomb gives samus a fixed vertical propulsion of just over 23.5 units. Underwater samus cannot bomb jump very well without the [[Gravity Suit]]. She is only giving a very tiny vertical propulsion of 8.7 units which is also quickly diminished because of water physics. While near the surface of water, Samus will "cling" to the water upon entering or exiting as the game switches physics suddenly. This can throw off timings of bomb jumps coming out of water. By laying a bomb and starting the Bomb Refill Timer, Samus can time a Bomb Jump so that the bomb counter refills during the bomb jump. This allows for Bomb Jumps of up to 5 bombs. Being able to continuously refill past 5 bombs is known as [[Infinite Bomb Jump\|Infinite Bomb Jumping]].
