Follow the platform out of the level, and acquire floaty jump and slowly manage your way back into the level. Preform the IBJ up Suntower normally, except you will have a virtually infinite time-space to place a bomb, as you come to a full stop and do not descend with floaty jump.

 *Once the spinner is raised, jump on the little hump in the spider ball track. Now, use a [[Metroid_Prime/Techniques#Ghetto_Jump|ghetto jump]] to get on top of the newly raised spinner. Walk over to the edge of the platform closest to the bomb slot atop the second spinner pole. Face the door that leads to Twin Fires (where the rock, box, and spire are). Lock onto the Puddle Spore nearest you if your are facing in this direction. Line yourself up on the point of the platform that is closest to the pole of the second spinner. Now for the fun part. Perform a [[Metroid_Prime/Techniques#Dash_Jump|dash jump]] to the right. As soon as you jump, hold forward. This will bend your jump towards the pole and compensate for the horrible position of the lock-on point. As soon as you get directly in front of the pole, hit L and jump forward. This should kill all the momentum gained from the [[Metroid_Prime/Techniques#Dash_Jump|dash jump]] and carry you directly to the pole (you may have to adjust yourself in mid-air by turning left or right). Right before you come in contact with the pole, morph into a ball. The goal is to get stuck on the lip of the bomb slot. This is much more difficult than it seems. You have to hit this jump perfect. There is no room at all for error. This method is detailed in the below left video.
 *Once you raise the roof, exit the room (either door). Go through this room so that the game will load the next room. Now, go back to Geo Core. Magically, all the spinners are raised and the roof is still up. Just collect the Plasma Beam as you normally would.
-*Another way of reaching the Bomb Slot is to use a so-called "Double L-Lock Space Jump." This involves reversing the Y-axis of the Analog Stick (accessible via the Options menu when you press the Start button while playing). Once the Y-axis has been reversed, simply L-Lock Space Jump at the Bomb Slot and press R (while still holding forward) to make Samus look up, then Space Jump again to give you an additional boost toward the Bomb Slot (as shown in the below right video).

 :At this point, it gets rather easy. Place bomb 5 right before the peak of the boost from bomb 3, and place bomb 6 right before the peak of the boost from bomb 4. At the peak of the final boost, morph out. You should get the "front flip" morph animation. If you get the "stand up" animation, you didn't get enough height.
 *You can also place the last two bombs very close together, as shown in the above right video. Some people find this easier than placing them as shown in the above left video.

 *In Landing Site, get on the Gunship and take a look at the ledge right of it, against the wall and in between two doors. This ledge is your destination from the Gunship.
-*You have to Dash Jump from the bottom right of the ship to this ledge, but since there are no enemies in Landing Site, you'll have to Dash Jump from a scan point. Switch to the Scan Visor and look for a Glowing Spidervine just above the door past the waterfall, the one that leads to the Artifact Temple. This scan point is conveniently out of your range from the Gunship, yet close enough that you can still lock on to it.

-*When ready, move as far back on the Gunship as you can go without falling off, then go to the right edge of the turbine and Dash Jump from the Spidervine. There are two different styles people use here; some wait a bit after locking on to the Spidervine, while others dash jump the instant they lock on. Both work, just make sure you release L as soon as you hit B to dash, or you'll probably have trouble getting on the ledge.

 *Go through the door below the Spidervine and enter Temple Hall, a room on the path to Artifact Temple. Three Seedlings reside here. Lock on to the closest one and head back to the Gunship in Landing Site; even when the door closes as you move away, you'll still be locked on to the Seedling as long as the target doesn't pass over the closed door.
-*When you reach the Gunship, jump on it and do the rest like the NA version, the only real difference being you're using a Seedling for your Dash Jump instead of the Glowing Spidervine outside Temple Hall. Be careful not to move farther than you need to when going back to the Gunship. If you go even a bit behind it, the lock-on will break. You're still barely maintaining it when on the Gunship at all, so keep that in mind when positioning Samus for the Dash Jump.

 *Once you make it safely, morph into a ball and raise the spinner. To do this, just get into the spinner and hold down. It should go up as long as you hold down. If it doesn't raise on it's own to begin with, lay a bomb. Hold up to keep from rolling out. As soon as the spinner sucks you back in, hold down. It should work this time (as shown in the above right video). It should be noted that sometimes you have to hold somewhere between down and down-left/right to get it to work.
