H2O canisters? Bomb? You mean the one for the red block powerup? Hmm, it depends. My strategy was to focus on getting all the upgrades first, then go back for the parts. Most areas, at least the earlier ones, require backtracking to get some parts you couldn't obtain before. As a general rule of thumb, those missile launchers in that room tend to be less accurate than the darker coloured ones, and as a result, if you end up on a ledge, they'll generally miss you if you just stay there instead of moving up. I don't know what specific parts you have trouble getting though. It also helps to remember that you move up a lot quicker than you move down; this is good to know for evading missiles for the most part.

The weird thing about Submolok is that clicking the satellite button not only resets your parts, but carries over how much health you have when you return to the main "hub" world. Yet when you quit the game and re-enter it, your parts and health are reset like you never entered that area. I think maybe Nitrome meant for this game to be played in one sitting, but if that was the case, why doesn't lost health save? That would definitely make this game more challenging, though.
