Skipping the Grapple Beam: Magma Pool

Discovered by

Banks

Notes:

What this room entails is swinging across the large lava pool. With quite a bit of experimentation, you can leap into the lava and find a small structure sticking out from the bottom. Fortunately for you, this is quite near the wall you need to bypass. Please note that this works best with the Gravity Suit, but if you don't have it, you'll have to make do with being sluggish in the lava. Get to this piece as quickly as you can, and then morph once atop it. You need to quickly execute a Triple Bomb Jump Morph move to get out of the lava, using the Morph at the end to give yourself some extra height, as well as push you forward onto the ledge. From there, you can just head through the purple door, or if you have a Power Bomb, and are just dying for the one behind it, you can collect it.
If you have the original North American version of the game, you can perform a Scan Dash Jump off the health or ammo drops in the boxes. This is a very long-distance dash, and you don't have a lot of room to maneuver in order to avoid hitting the walls.
If you have the Gravity Suit, just Space Jump from the piece of debris shown below.
