NOTE: This is a stub article. Please add more information as it becomes available.

If there are grapple blocks or grapplable enemies sufficiently near something that you want to clip, you can probably clip through it using grapple.

I don't know much about how this actually works, but it seems to be able to clip floors, walls, or ceilings. It's pretty weird.

If blocks are sufficiently near the edge of a room, this can even push Samus Out of Bounds. For example, this can be done in Halfie Climb Room.

Also, since when grappling transition blocks don't activate (unless doing something wonky, see Grapple Teleportation), this means you can pass through transition blocks while grappling. If the other side is open, this can give a very simple method to get Out of Bounds.

I'm unsure if this really deserves to be its own page; maybe the info can really just be gathered in Clipping and this can be a redirect to that subsection.
