==Early Half-Pipe Missile==

===~~Without Boost Ball~~===

In most categories, the half-pipe missile expansion is one of the earliest items that is acquired using sequence breaks, as it avoids having to get the Missile Launcher in [[Hive Totem]]. There are many methods that can be used to obtain it, some of which are standard use in speedruns, while others are more useful in a [[Randomizers|Randomizer]] context.

~~You can easily get~~ the ~~halfpipe Missile Expansion without~~ [[~~Boost Ball~~]]. Simply walk up the halfpipe and use Space Jump to collect it.

===Slope Jump Method===

One of the most common methods. This requires having already grabbed the [[Space Jump Boots]] beforehand. Simply walk up the halfpipe and use Space Jump to collect it.

===~~Without Space~~ Jump ~~or Boost Ball~~===

===Bomb Jump Method===

The Missile Expansion can be collected with an [[Half Pipe Bomb Jump|HPBJ]].

The Missile Expansion can also be collected with an [[Half Pipe Bomb Jump|HPBJ]].

===Morph Ball Rolling Method===

This method takes advantage of the fact that Samus can get a lot of momentum from the half-pipe by morphing above the half-pipe itself, then falling into it in such a way that allows for Samus to transfer that momentum into the cavity that houses the missile without needing the [[Boost Ball]].

===Scan Dash===

This method is considered [[Tool-Assisted Speedruns|TAS]]-only, and would only benefit low% categories where Space Jump can't be used. It is a precise [[Scan Dash]] that just barely gets enough distance and height to reach the item.
