| Main Gyro Chamber Watch Station |
Watch Station Access is a room on the upper level of Sanctuary Fortress in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains an Energy Tank. In the middle of a room is a large gap containing two Terminal Fall triggers, which independently decide which position Samus spawns in afterwards. This is abused in speedruns in order to get to Screw Attack early.
Bypassing the Gap
There are two methods of getting to the other side of this room without using the Grapple Beam or Screw Attack, the intended methods of crossing this room.
Roll Jump Method
By using a Roll Jump, you can get far enough to fool the game into putting you on the other side using the Terminal Fall trigger.
Boost Jump Method
In addition to having more room to succeed than the roll jump method, this method doesn't even require that you have the Space Jump Boots.
