Navigate Area 1 (2) in Metroid II: Return of Samus, finding the Aeion Energy Tank (AT10) and Super Missile Expansion (SM11).
Walkthrough
- 1Roll into the left gap and bomb the block. Roll through and head left to the door.
- 2Drop down the shaft and shoot the floor to drop down again. Roll through the gap and drop down to the bottom. Use the Spider Ball (a transformation allowing you to cling to walls) on the left wall, bomb the blocks, and roll through the gap.
- 3Jump up the platforms, run left, and drop down. Keep running left, shoot the blocks in the way, and keep running and jumping left, shooting all the blocks in the way to reach the Save Station (a point where you can save your progress). Save, jump up, and run left.
- 4Shoot the enemy on the door below and use Phase Drift (an ability to briefly become intangible) to head left, drop down, and go through the door before it closes. Drop down, shoot a missile right to remove the block, and use the Phase Drift to drop into the water, head right, jump up, and roll through the gap before the block comes back. Jump up to reach the Aeion Energy Tank (AT10) (an item that increases your Aeion Energy capacity).
- 5Use the Grapple Beam (an upgrade that allows you to latch onto specific points), on the right block, roll through, and drop down. Roll through the narrow passageway, jump up, and head left to the Save Station. Save, jump up, run left, and drop down. Run left through the door.
- 6Drop down into the lava, run left, and drop down to the bottom. Run right, jump up to the ledge, and shoot a Super Missile (a powerful projectile) at the left wall to find a Super Missile Expansion (SM11) (an item that increases your Super Missile capacity).
- 7Drop down, run left, and jump back up out of the lava. Head right through the door.
- 8Head right, jump up, run right, and drop down to the Save Station. Save, run and jump right shooting the blocks on the way. Drop down, head right, jump up, and run right.
- 9Jump to the platform and shoot the right wall. Roll through the gap, drop down, and jump up on the right side. Roll through the gap and shoot the ceiling. Jump and climb up to the door on the right side and go through.

Tips
