Long time reader, first time poster here!

I've noticed that the current WR for any% features a version of the item grab glitch I haven't seen before. In particular it occurs when Scotty grabs the gravity suit before the Ridley fight. I've tried to recreate the sequence of movements to achieve the glitch, however it seems to elude me. Any advice?

From what I can tell it's accomplished by an A press to spring ball jump followed mere frames after by a B press to lay a bomb while holding A to achieve a maximum height jump. This times perfectly to land inside the hand, but it seems the height from the jump is too much and it triggers a bounce which appears to block the glitch from happening. Perhaps this is much more complicated then it appears with close timing and a spring ball jump just low enough not to trigger the bounce on landing?

Edit: Nevermind, I've figured it out. You have to continue holding A during the entire spring ball jump to avoid the bounce at the end :D
