A Slope Jump being used to skip the Dark Suit.
A Slope Jump, originally referred to as a Ghetto Jump,[1] is a technique within the Metroid Prime series that involves Samus moving up to a certain part of a ledge, looking down, and then jumping, giving her extra height and allowing her to reach normally inaccessible areas.
In the GameCube version of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, most (if not all) areas reachable with the Slope Jump do not require looking down and simply only require the use of locking on in a straightforward position.

- ^ Metroid 2002: "Ghetto" in this context comes from late 90s/early 00s California slang for "lame" or "shoddy" or "unsophisticated." By all accounts, Kip unwittingly coined the term "ghetto jump" while traversing the Crashed Frigate without the Gravity Suit on 9 February 2003, as the exact nature of the technique he was using was not known at that time. Today, some people use the term "slope jumping" as a clearer alternative. https://www.metroid2002.com/techniques_ghetto_jump.php
