Infinite Bomb Jump Method

Allows you to get Artifact of Wild without Spider Ball, Super Missiles, or Charge Beam. Requires:

  • Morph Ball
  • Bombs
File:Early Artifact of Wild (Bomb Jump)
  • Jump into the crevice in the wall and morph
  • Hold up-left and bomb jump up
  • When your bomb is slightly below the ledge you're jumping to, flick up-right and unmorph after the bomb explodes.
