Mining Plaza is a room in the Agon Wastes in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains an Energy Tank hidden behind a set of Echo Locks, as well as a set of Secret Worlds that take advantage of the Sandigger enemies in the room.

Due to the fact that Samus will not have Space Jump by this point, she must take a less obvious path through the room. There are multiple routes that can be chosen for this purpose.

Normal Route

Alternate Strat

Extended Dash Strat

Sandigger Secret World

There are two Sandiggers on the bottom level of the room, and both can be used to go Out of Bounds, with differing setups for each of them. The secret world takes advantage of what happens when the Sandigger grabs Samus while she's in the Morph Ball. For a period of a few frames when they let go of Samus, Samus will have no collision, making it possible to go through the nearby walls.

The movement of the Sandiggers is entirely determined by Samus' position, meaning that as long as you make the same movements every time, you will get the same result.

Back Sandigger (Near Save Station A)

This one is more commonly used, and has known backups if you fail. There are multiple different ways of doing this method.

Front Sandigger (Near Plaza Access)

This one is faster to do than the other one, but has no known backups if you fail.

Trilogy

A similar setup to the front Sandigger SW can be used on Trilogy.
