Similar to the Billy Mays Room, there's an extra hidden missile pack in this room. But because it's encountered much earlier, it's the Ron Popeil missiles.

Acquiring Ron Popeil Missiles with only Screw Attack and Morph Ball

It is possible to acquire the most behind missiles in this room with only Screw Attack and Morph Ball. While this is impracticle in actual categories, it can be very usefull for things like Randomizers for an extra item early on. It abuses the forcing of standup pose, by landing inside a 2 tile tall area while aiming down and also abusing tha fact that this can be used to perform an Autospinjump in such an area. Below is a video demonstrating this technique. The inputs are shwon in the upper left corner. Basic idea is to run right shortly, jump, let go of jump shortly and repress it and aim down before landing. If you land far enough to the right you can then turn around by pressing left and angle button and then simply hold right to perform the Autospinjump, which will tehn with Screw Attack destroy the remaining blocks.
