Power Bomb Expansion
The power bomb expansion in dynamo chamber can be quickly obtained anytime Samus has Space Jump (So if ILS was done, then you can get this power bomb expansion almost immediately after doing ILS). This requires a short wallcrawl to obtain the power bomb while out of bounds.
Temple Assembly Site
The quickest and most common method to get into the secret world is in Temple Assembly Site. Above the door to the elevator is a grated ceiling that Samus can easily space jump up to. To the left of the giant tree is a raised rock just out of reach of normal space jumping. Do a ghetto jump along the giant tree; your first jump must clear the giant trunk on the left. Use your second jump after clearing the trunk to land on that rock. Turn to the right and space jump forward to fall into a gap that will let Samus fall out of bounds.
Tips
- The first jump is the most important part of the trick, as it gives you enough height to clear the trunk without sliding down it. If you find yourself sliding down to the left, then you aren't getting enough height from the ghetto jump.
- The left edge of the rock is slightly lower than the rest of it, so aiming for the left edge will make it easier to land on.
Dynamo Chamber
Wallcrawl to Dynamo Chamber and get on top of the alcove with the power bomb tank. The easiest way is to climb on top of the skywalk of Dynamo Chamber, then morph when you're above the alcove (but there are faster methods). Once on top of the alcove, bomb jump until you touch the bottom right corner of the power bomb tank from above; you should have collected the power bomb tank.

Gravity Boost
You can quickly get gravity boost immediately after getting super missiles in Torvus Bog, without needing boost ball or seeker missiles.
In Hydrodynamo Station, there are three scan targets to unlock the path to Gravity Boost; the lowest scan target is easily accessible. The other two normally require you to go around lower torvus and come out of their respective doors to scan them from the correct side. However, both scan targets can be reached by a precise underwater dash from the surface of the water.
After all three scan targets are scanned, you can easily head down to get Gravity Boost.
