General Information
| Room Layer Information |
|---|
| Default 1st Pass Metroid Breakout 3rd Pass Room unveil cinematic Don't load Metroid Tubes |
Activating the cutscene in this room disables layer "Room unveil cinematic".
Scanning the terminal to deactivate the barrier in this room disables layer "1st Pass" and enables layer "Metroid Breakout. This also enables layer "2nd Pass Metroids" in Ore Processing.
Passing through this room again later disables layers "Metroid Breakout" and "Metroid Tubes" and enables layer "3rd Pass".
Elevator Access B Without Spider Ball
In any%, it is important to be able to get to this room without Spider Ball while under pressure. This can be done in a few ways.
Metroid Dash Method
Nearby the section of the wall that is destroyed by Power Bombs, there is a horizontal support beam that Samus can stand on. By performing a Slope Jump onto this beam, Samus can lure one of the surrounding Metroids to a position where Samus can dash off of the Metroid and onto the platform. This is the method that is most commonly used in runs. It can also be made easier by freezing the Metroid with Ice Beam.
Missile Scan Dash
Alternately, it is possible to use one of the distant scan points, including the missile expansion, to do the dash.
Alternate Dash Strat
This method is risky, so it isn't done outside of ILs, but it is possible to skip getting onto the beam while on the slope. This saves a few seconds.
