  • Space Jump

Infinite Bomb Jump Method

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

  • Morph Ball
  • Bombs
  • 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.
  • Do not attempt to bomb jump much higher than the ledge, as doing so while give you an instant unmorph and cause you to fall.


Without Charge Beam and Super Missile

It is possible to climb this room without these items, but with Spider Ball, using the very difficult Sesshoumaru bomb jump named for its original discoverer.

Without Charge Beam, Super Missile, and Spider Ball
