Cool finds.

I'm assuming the canWallJumpInstantMorph variant should also work?
You could add it or add a Gravity+h_gateGlitch in this helper.
Though, maybe this is overkill, the crab gate room has a Gravity+h_gateGlitch option already

Gravity+h_greenGateGlitch seems like a clean representation where we could probably add it to the h_underwatergreengateglitch. But there are reasons not to do that too. Gravity+wallJumpInstantMorph looks covered under the Gravity version of the strat.

That's a reason to remove this Gravity+Bombs option 🧐

I'm not really seeing how morph helps. It makes sense that it could help with ice, but I'm not really ever getting into a position where it does.

Same. But its something I see everytime when going through this room wtih ice no morph. They freeze the metroid, usually the top one, in the shorter area and can't get past. There's a good chance that practice+practicehack means less rushing, because taking the room slowly looks pretty safe. Other rushing because race.

I think random damage from rinkas catches anyone and canTrickyJump is a good breakpoint for that. From that view Morph doesn't help. And 1 hit vs 2 could be too much, but I see it as always 1 rinka hit and sometimes a second.
