Samus has just reached the peak of the mountain, and the view is so beautiful she can almost taste it. She tries, but she eventually realizes she's jumped so far that she's going to need some help to get back...

This idea stemmed from a thought by ‪@oi23origin‬, one of my testers for Super Metroid: Quarry, from when I was trying to get the "infinite fall" mechanic to work in this room. Super Metroid isn't normally built to handle room transitions like that, so we had to apply some cleverness to keep the game from breaking.

I liked Oi's idea so much that I decided to implement a version of it for if the player jumps too far away from the cliff, serving as a funny shortcut back to the landing site. In the full hack, the other transitions will take the player to the rooms below this one instead of warping them back to the entrance, and if the player shinesparks across the entire room, they will eventually warp around to the opposite side of the map.
