{{Connecting Rooms|rooms=[[Main Gyro Chamber]]</br>[[Watch Station]]}}'''Watch Station Access''' is a room located on the upper level of the [[Sanctuary Fortress]] region of [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]. It contains an [[Energy Tank]]. In the middle of the room is a large gap containing two [[Terminal Fall]] triggers, which independently decide which position Samus spawns in afterwards. This is abused in speedruns in order to get to [[Screw Attack]] early.

==Roll Jump ~~to the Other Side~~==

==Bypassing the Gap==

There are two methods of getting to the other side of this room without using the [[Grapple Beam]] or Screw Attack, the intended methods of crossing this room.

===Roll Jump Method===

By using a [[Roll Jump]], you can get far enough to fool the game into putting you on the other side using the [[Terminal Fall]] trigger.

===Boost Jump Method===

In addition to having more room to succeed than the roll jump method, this method doesn't even require that you have the [[Space Jump Boots]].

==Grapple Scan Comparison==

Scanning the point that lowers the Grapple points will initiate a cutscene. This can be used to wait for [[Watch Station]] to load while saving in-game time, as the comparison below shows.
