Block Clip

To pass through the floor on the way to the attic, break only the top block of a vertical pair. Jump into this space and press angle down. You'll notice your feet are in the block. Jump to pass through the floor above you.

This is most useful in categories that do not have the Wave Beam by this point in the run, like Any% PRKD or Low% Ice. For Any% KPDR or 100%, this may not actually save time at all compared with shooting out the row of blocks and running through.

KPDR

Bottom To Left Side Supers

One of the fastest and most consistent strats for this section avoids taking out the middle blocks, and uses them as a morph tunnel rather than bombing up to the top and waiting for the explosion. Three specific Wave Beam shots are used.

Main Shaft Climb

This climb is a series of jumps and grabs, with some varying strats for dealing with the middle Atomics and blocks. How the top part is performed will often be determined by the intended entry to Attic.

100%

This is the fastest method to get from Sponge Bath to Attic.
