Connecting Rooms
Agon Temple
Ventilation Area A

Sandcanyon is a room in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains a Power Bomb expansion and a Secret World at both ends of the room. It consists of a very large gap bridged by a single platform carrying a structure in the center. The two Kinetic Orb cannons are normally used to cross the room, while getting to the center platform normally requires Screw Attack.

Terminal Fall Abuse

In the Dark Beam wallcrawl, the Terminal Fall triggers in the room are used to get to the side connecting to Ventilation Area A instantly.

Secret World

On both ends of the room, there is a hole under the platform that can be used to go out of bounds. It consists of doing a well-timed jump under the platform in order to stand on an invisible wall that lies under the platform. You may either be able to stand on the wall instantly, or get stuck in a constant state of rising. If rising, you may either wait patiently for the game to deliver you on top of the wall or trick it to reposition you quickly.
