Bomb Jumping is an advanced technique that allows Samus to reach extremely high areas without the High Jump Boots or to cross large gaps. While in Morph Ball form, deploy a bomb. Just as the bomb is about to explode, deploy another bomb. The first bomb's explosion will propel Samus upwards. Immediately after being propelled, deploy a third bomb. With precise timing, you can continuously chain bomb explosions to gain significant vertical height. This technique requires practice but can unlock many early-game shortcuts and hidden areas, allowing for sequence breaking and faster completion times. Mastering bomb jumping is a hallmark of an expert Metroid player.
