Acquiring the [[Gravity Suit]] in this room disables layer "Cinematic" and enables layer "2nd pass - alpha atomics". It also changes layers in the following rooms:

~~It is possible to obtain~~ the ~~Missile Expansion~~ in this room ~~without~~ [[~~Grapple Beam~~]] or [[~~Plasma Beam~~]]. ~~There are two different methods to this~~.

=== ~~Ghetto~~ Jump ===

Shooting the ice on the ceiling with Plasma Beam to reveal the grapple point disables layer "Stalactite" in this room.

Ordinarily, the missile expansion is accessed by using the [[Plasma Beam]] to reveal a grapple point, then using the [[Grapple Beam]] to get the item. However, once this grapple point is revealed, it is important not to leave the room if you plan on using it, as it will be permanently removed from the room once the room is unloaded. As described below, there are alternative ways of getting this item that don't require [[Grapple Beam]], but this is still relevant for beginners that may still choose to go for the intended method of getting this item.

==Early Missile Expansion==

It is possible to obtain the Missile Expansion in this room without [[Grapple Beam]] or [[Plasma Beam]]. There are two different methods to do this, which are both included in the attached video.

===Slope Jump Method===

* Get on the rock

* ~~Ghetto~~ off of the left, then go towards the right. Release L.

* Slope Jump off of the left, then go towards the right. Release L.

* Do your second jump towards the left again, then curve it back towards the right. If you're low on height, you can do an R-Jump to get more speed.

=== Scan Dash ===

===Scan Dash Method===

This is the alternative and is faster, but it's harder.

* Stand near the icicle

====Bombu Combat Dash====

This dash can also be performed using the Bombus that spawn on another layer.

===Slope Jump Method Tutorial===

===Tutorial by Tom Lube===

This tutorial covers the slope jump method in greater detail and also showcases a variant of the dashing method that uses one of the Gelzaps.

==Secret World==

Around the area near where the [[Gravity Suit]] is located, there is a hole in the ceiling that can be used to get out of bounds. Shoot the tentacle with the [[Ice Beam]] in order to stand on it, then jump through the hole. This requires the [[Space Jump Boots]].
