Higher-level runners will often skip this e-tank in PB attempts, instead relying on Ridley's drops to get them out of Lower Norfair.

In a race environment however, this e-tank can be valuable. A runner who's taking their time in the Lower Norfair escape in order to survive might waste more time than if they had taken the e-tank, and then just taken the hits from the Kihunters along the way.

100%

If you jump from this room through Ridley's Room, that can save some time over walljumping up from the Ridley's platform.
