This does not include the sand transition or ice moonfall methods.

No other room seems to be able to use this method:

  • Post Croc Farm - doesnt look like any downward setup is possible, because the vertical wall is too high and Samus is force crouched.
  • Main St - Samus can't touch the crab and touch the transition simultaneously
  • Metroid 4 - It's really dumb, because there's not enough runway to cross the full doorshell, so you would need to use one frozen enemy to wall ice clip while using another to take damage and either open the door or short hop so that Samus can touch the transition and enemies at the same time. An ice moonfall is going to be easier here (if possible).

Where I froze the atomic, it looks like this is subpixel dependant too. Running into the right pillar to normalize position, turnaround, run full speed, seems to work for that.

They all seem to have some subpixel dependence. With the short runway variants, there is only one place to stand, so the edge pixels sometimes work and sometimes dont. This one is more lenient, but also more chaotic. I added a description of that setup
