Phendrana Canyon

Phendrana Canyon is a room in the Phendrana Drifts region of Metroid Prime.

Items

It is possible to traverse this room and acquire Boost Ball without activating the platforms by using a series of L-jumps.

You will need Space Jump Boots and to not have acquired Boost Ball in order to perform this secret world.
As soon as you enter this room, jump down to where you'd normally scan the pole to acquire Boost Ball, but don't actually scan the pole. Now using your tricky brain you can figure out how to make it to the last platform on the series of platforms here. From there turn around and face the door again. Look up and you'll see another platform you can narrowly space jump to. Space jump to it. Now turn to your left and you'll see another large snow drift. Jump through it. You can, don't worry.
