Docking Bay 4/Security Station You can abort Gohr's security scan. Immediately as the door to Security Station opens, head back towards the previous room so that it gets dumped (the exact spot is about the second bend in the wall, near the door - listen to the Wii DVD drive). Head back and reload the room.

Gateway Hall - Coming from your ship the first time through, since Gateway takes awhile to load (5+ secs) shoot the door, and while the room is loading turn around and grapple-pull the statue. You'll need it to climb up on your way back later, but here you wont lose time since you're waiting for the room to load.
Bryyo Hangar Bay - Small timesaver, in Bryyo Hangar Bay (where you upgrade your ship) To climb up to the console, you can skip grapple-pulling that one ledge out of the wall. After you jumped up the green ledge, you can space-jump directly to the morph-ball platform on the right. The jump is kind of tight but doable.
Imperial Hall - After your first trip, you can morphball through the whole room (it's right by Fiery Airdock) by spring jumping over the pools of fuel gel. Hug the right wall to make your life easier, you can roll along most of the gel and jumps are easy. Spring ball up the ramp after.

Gel Refinery Site - To go into the next room (Main Lift) you can simply ghetto jump up to the ledge rather than shooting two charge shots into the gel thingy. There is a small railing on the ground toward the left and you can use that to ghetto up to the platform. Additional note: you can also simply jump on the ledge between the 2 gel thingies then jump to the door.

Grand Court - On your way back from getting the Grapple Swing, you can use two bsj to get back up to the door. The first bsj avoids going up and around to use the grapple swing. The 2nd one avoids grapple pulling 2 panels out and using the morph ball tunnel.

Gateway - You can skip half the puzzle in this room. Get on the platform with the yellow morphball tunnel, do a bsj to get up to the platform above.Video
Generator Hall North - Use a ghetto jump to get to the 2nd turret backwards. It can also be done using a bsj. Note: after doing this generator, you cannot cross directly to the 1st generator; triggering the battle will lock you in the room. It's unsure if this trick will help save time.

Ruined Shrine - You can skip all of the grapple swings by using a series of BSJs. Video
Elysia
Discovered by Fano7
Maintenance Shaft CC : Instead of going into the morph ball tunnel, you can screw attack through. It doesn't look like you can, but you are able to. You need to space jump as far as you can and delay the screw attack until you are under (height wise) the piece of equiement. Then, angle yourself to the other platform. Kind of hard to explain. In other words, there is no need for the green ledge and the morph ball tunnel.

GFS Valhalla
Discovered by Zelse
Valhalla Repair Bay : Immediately after entering the room from the main door look to the right and there should be a supply crate. You can use this to make it to the second floor without having to go to the left, through the electricity and up the ramp.

Metroid Processing - Skip the panel repair (and slow ride) by using a BSJ+SA to the upper level. You can also use a ghetto + SA off of the tank.
