	Normally, unmorphing and morphing are fairly lengthy animations that can cost time in certain areas of a run. However, there are ways to skip this animation. ~~There isn't any one guaranteed way~~ to do an Instant Unmorph ~~or Morph; it depends on what direction you are facing, which room you are in~~, and ~~what's around you~~. ~~However,~~ the ~~general rule~~ is ~~that~~ the game will ~~cut~~ the animation ~~whenever~~ the ~~camera is obstructed~~. This trick is required for [[Bomb Space Jump\|Bomb Space Jumps]] to work.		Normally, unmorphing and morphing are fairly lengthy animations that can cost time in certain areas of a run. However, there are ways to skip this animation. To dertermine when to give Samus an Instant Unmorph, the game calculates the position the Camera should move to and performs a raytrace along this spline checking if there is collision along this path. If the camera is found to be blocked, the game will skip the unmorph animation entirely resulting in an instant unmorph. This calculation happens after you press X to unmorph and before it draws the next frame and therefore cant be viewed in memory. This trick is required for [[Bomb Space Jump\|Bomb Space Jumps]] to work.

Normally, unmorphing and morphing are fairly lengthy animations that can cost time in certain areas of a run. Thankfully, in Prime 2 you can completely (or sometimes just partially) skip either animation, which can save lots of time over the course of a run. There isn't any one guaranteed way to do an instant unmorph or morph; it depends on what direction you are facing, which room you are in, and what's around you. However, the general rule is that the game will cut the animation whenever the camera is obstructed.

Common ways to obstruct the camera include:
* Rolling off a ledge
* Having your back against a wall
* Quickly boosting around a wall
* Jumping up towards a ceiling
* Being in an area where you are cramped in between lots of nearby objects

In runs, the most common usage is to jump into the top of door frames and morph, which in almost every door in the game can give you an instant morph. While these techniques add nice detail to your movement, they are most notable for their role in two more significant speed tricks that are described below.
