| Dark Arena Tunnel |
Dark Torvus Arena is a room located in the Dark Torvus Bog in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains the Boost Guardian boss fight, which is isolated in a cylindrical arena attached to a Morph Ball tunnel that does not exist in the room's Light Aether counterpart. After getting Boost Ball, the game normally has you using the half-pipe to get the Torvus Temple Key.
Getting the Key Early
Without Boost Ball
Using Screw Attack, it's possible to skip this fight entirely and get the key immediately.
Without Boost Ball and Screw Attack
If using Screw Attack isn't an option, this alternate strat is possible using the Space Jump Boots. It requires using a precise Roll Jump.
Escaping the Half-Pipe Without Boost
Once again using Screw Attack, it is possible to get enough height to get out of the half-pipe.
