This is the strategy that runners use for this room. The video below also shows how to get the Super Missiles: by performing a Slope Jump onto the pipe, it's possible to get to the item from there. If you get the item while the platform is raised, the cutscene will position you below the platform, forcing you to fall to the bottom of the room.
