Infinite Boost Method

SW Discovered by: gdVertigo (Oct 7, 2021)

Overview

The Secret World in Magma Pool utilizes infinite boosting(TODO: link to Infinite Boost page) to build extremely high speed. The current setup requires approximately 4 minutes of boosting (~2600 speed). Once enough speed is achieved, unmorphing causes Samus to clip down out of bounds.

Setup instructions

Enter Magma Pool and approach the South-East corner of the room. Stand in the tight space created between the crates and wall. Aim slightly towards the wall (this is not precise), and morph while tapping an analog stick a direction. The goal here is to finish the morph animation while Samus is airborne; to achieve this, hold up on the stick towards the end of the morphing animation, so that Samus can fall off the small ledge and enter the air before getting stuck. Boost repeatedly once stuck, and continue stacking Boosts about 4 minutes, or longer to be safe. There will be a lot of lag as Samus builds higher and higher speeds.
