WildAnaconda69's Spring Ball Jump tutorial
A double springball jump is possible while underwater without Gravity Suit, if you also have Hi-Jump Boots.
There are also a number of room strats that may save time, or might be required by some randomizer logic, such as crossing The Moat with nothing but Morph Ball and Spring Ball.
