Steps to Unlock the Space Jump Upgrade
Space Jump is located at the northeastern area of Ferenia, near the train to Ghavoran.
| 1 |  You need to destroy the storm missile box before you can get to the missile door. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  You need to destroy the missile door before reaching the chamber that holds the Space Jump upgrade. |
| 3 |  Shoot the orb held by the statue to get the Space Jump upgrade. |
How to Get the Space Jump Early
Method 1
You can get this upgrade before fighting Escue. It's possible to get this item without the Cross Bomb, but the alternative is far more difficult to pull off. Therefore, you may want to consider getting the Cross Bomb upgrade early as well.
| 1 |  There will be a hidden Bomb Block at the top left corner, just as you exit the door. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Perform a series of Cross Bomb jumps and then wall jump up through the opening in the ceiling. Alternatively, you can also perform a slide-jump, morph in mid-air, drop a bomb, wall jump back to the ledge and repeat several times to get the same effect. |
| 3 | Before getting inside, there will be another set of vertically stacked Bomb Blocks that you can easily break with either regular Bombs or Cross Bombs. |
Method 2
This is a sequence break to get the Space Jump Early. You will need to have the Diffusion Beam, Ice Missile, Grapple Beam and Morph Ball upgrades.
You will be breaking the Alien Block that would usually be broken after you get the Space Jump by doing a Pseudo Wave Beam attack.
You will be doing this technique just above the room where you can find the Space Jump upgrade.
Step 1: Do a Lunging Melee to the Wall, Charge the Diffusion Beam and Hold the Aim Button
The purpose of doing this is to have Samus' leg slightly clip the wall. This will play a crucial part for the rest of the technique.
Step 2: Aim Down
While charging your diffusion beam and hold the aim button, you will then need to your cannon downwards. You will want to aim specifically at one of the blocky tiles on the ground, indicated by the red marker on the image above.
Step 3: Use the Morph Ball
While holding you're charged Diffusion Beam shot and aiming down, turn into a Morph Ball to shoot automatically. The purpose of this is to clip your cannon through the terrain at a certain angle so that your shot phases through the floor and hits the claw of the enemy below. This can extend the hitbox of your shot enough to hit the Alien Block.

Step 4: Hit the Enemy Claw and Detonate the Alien Block
You will now need to hit the enemy's claw when its at a certain angle in order for the Diffusion Beam's explosion to barely hit the Alien Block which will lead to detonating it.
| Angle of the Claw Needed |
|---|
 |
The angle of the claw that you are specifically looking for will be when the tip of the claw is barely touching the dark part of the golden statues horn. Hitting it at this angle will give you the perfect opportunity to destroy the Alien Block.
If you kill this enemy while attempting the shortcut, simply exit to the door on the left and then return back to your original spot.
Step 5: Getting out
Depending on your pathing, you will have 3 ways to get out of the room.
From the same path you took going inside the room, use a Bomb to reveal a hidden block inside the Morph Ball crawlspace found on the right.
For this method, you will need to use the Grapple Beam to pull yourself to the Magnetic wall. After, just climb all the way up past the water and then use your newly acquired Space Jump to get out.
Another method is to freeze the Claw enemy with an Ice Missile so that you can land on of top of them. After using the Flash Shift to get across, destroy the hidden Bomb Block. This path will lead you to the Dairon Elevator. You will also get both a Energy Tank and a Missile Tank by going this route.

at the right time during a Spin Jump to jump again.Spin Jump Infinitely
With the Space Jump ability upgrade, you can now spin jump infinitely if you time your jumps right. This will allow you to go to areas in the map that was previously unreachable for you.
Note: Until obtaining the Gravity Suit, the Space Jump will not be able to gain vertical height underwater.
Replaces Spin Boost
Once you unlock Space Jump, it automatically replaces Spin Boost since Space Jump provides infinite spin jumps whereas Spin Boost only provides one extra spin jump.
Where to Go After Space Jump
Obtain the Gravity Suit
With the new Space Jump Upgrade, Samus can now cross large gaps in the air or underwater to access previously unreachable areas, including a path in Burenia which leads to the Gravity Suit.
| Step-By-Step Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Travel Back to GhavoranAfter getting Space Jump for the first time in Ferenia, you will have to go back to Ghavoran using the Shuttle. |
| 2 |  To access the Green Teleportal in Ghavoran, you will have to use your newly acquired Space Jump to cross the short water section. |
| 3 |  With Space Jump, you also gain access to the path on the west side of the map. Cross the deep water section using Space Jump and open the door with your Plasma Beam. |
| 4 |  Continue traveling this new path until you reach the southeast area of the map. |
| 5 |  Obtain the Gravity SuitTo obtain the Gravity Suit, you will first need to destroy an Alien Block with your Diffusion beam, then destroy the Grapple Beam Block holding up the large underwater structure. This will destroy the bridge below and open up the room to the Gravity Suit. |
| 6 |  After obtaining the Gravity Suit and opening up the area to the north, you can head to the nearby elevator and ride it back to Arataria. |

good guide, but you could provide more detail on certain steps, like how to reveal the grapple block needed to destroy the bridge. I only just realized I needed to use the Diffusion beam to get the last alien block.
