Biotech Research Area 1 is a room located in the Space Pirate Frigate in Metroid Prime. It contains a Secret World, which is used in every speedrun category to get to the end of the Frigate Escape sequence faster. The wallcrawl that is used to do this is colloquially known as the Frigate Wallcrawl, as it is the only significant wallcrawl that is commonly performed within the Frigate. This was secret world #44 in the original numbering scheme.

General Information

Room Layer Information
Default
QUEEN FIGHT 2nd Pass

Defeating the Parasite Queen and passing through Reactor Core enables the "QUEEN FIGHT 2nd Pass" layer in this room.

Jumping to the Lower Level

Before the Frigate Escape sequence, it is possible to bypass the barrier that prevents you from getting to the lower level of the room. This is done by doing a Double Bomb Jump onto the support beam and then using the sloped collision to get repositioned on the top of the barrier. This is mainly used to perform this room's Secret World early, which is something that is done in Tool-Assisted Speedruns as a faster way of getting to the Parasite Queen.

Secret World

Unlike most other Secret Worlds, this is a Morph Secret World, which is possible entirely because the geometry where it is performed is so small that the game can erroneously Reposition Samus Out of Bounds when morphing in a precise position. This Secret World is also possible on the Trilogy version of the game.

Alternate Method

This method is not used in runs, as it's way more difficult to perform and wastes more time if it fails. It is possible to get out of bounds through the connection to Subventilation Shaft Section A with a dash and a 1-frame Bunny Hop to clear the door and beat the load.
