Watch Station is a room located in the Sanctuary Fortress in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains a beam ammo expansion and a Secret World.
Opening the Gate Early
In most routes, it is required to open the gate that blocks the Dark Portal leading to Aerial Training Site. Normally, it is required to cross most of the Spider Ball tracks to activate the Bomb Slot, but by simply standing on some of the tracks, it is possible to use the bomb slot without using them at all.
Any% Method
This method is the one that is done in any% due to the route coming out of Grand Abyss.
BSJ Method
Another way to get on the Spider Ball tracks is using a Bomb Space Jump from below.
No Bombs
By utilizing the standable spots detailed above, it is possible to activate the bomb slot without Morph Ball Bombs. This is done by shooting either Darkburst or Sonic Boom near the bomb slot and doing an Instant Morph into the bomb slot. If done correctly, the gate will be opened like normal.
Secret World
Extended Dash Method
Much like with Aerial Training Site, it is possible to use an extended dash to get out of bounds while heading in the direction of Sentinel's Path. Note that the setup is slightly different since you do the dash at a lower Z position, but the general idea is the same. This is not used in speedruns, as it saves too little time to be worth doing. However, it is doable.
TAS-Only Method
This TAS-only method of going out of bounds involves climbing up the spinning spider tracks, which become standable when at the right position.
