Playing Super Metroid Z-Factor. How am I supposed to get this missile expansion in Norfair?
The hack uses regular SM physics and moveset, so no shinespark-to-full-speed-run slope transitions, ballsparks or the like.

The flat platform above where the missile pack is located isn't long enough to get a shinespark going, so the only option seems to be to attempt from the room to the right, but I can't for the life of me figure out how that's supposed to be done. A standing horizontal shinespark just lands in the middle of the slope leading to the SB blocks and horizontal mid-air shinesparks either land just below the blocks or are guided by the last stretch of the slope and hit above the blocks.

The hack's description says that "special/advanced techniques are NOT required to beat it", but I'm starting to suspect beating it doesn't necessarily mean 100%ing it...
