Find the Missile Tank, Super Missile Tank, and Power Bomb Tank in Crateria (3) with this Metroid: Zero Mission walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use a Power Bomb to pass through the door on the left.
  2. 2
    Space Jump (a jump that allows you to fly upwards for an extended period) left until you see a large opening above, then jump up into it.
  3. 3
    Use your Screw Attack (an attack that spins Samus around to break blocks) on the blocks to your right.
  4. 4
    Use your Space Jump to get over the two large pillars to your left.
  5. 5
    Run to the left end of the ledge and prepare for Speed Booster maneuvers.
  6. 6
    Run right towards the first pillar as your Speed Booster activates, then store the charge (save the Speed Booster energy) before hitting the pillar.
  7. 7
    Quickly perform a Spin Jump (a jump that spins Samus) in the air and press up to break out of the charge at the top, then perform a shoulder charge (a dash attack) right.
  8. 8
    Store the charge again just after hitting the small hill, then drop left off the ledge and hold right to land on a small ledge below.
  9. 9
    Quickly roll into a ball and charge left to blast into a tunnel, then hold left to grab the Missile Tank without falling past it.
  10. 10
    Drop down and roll right, then work your way back left past the pillars.
  11. 11
    Repeat the process up to the shoulder charge right towards the hill.
  12. 12
    This time, continue running right through a nearby wall instead of storing the charge to obtain a Super Missile Tank.
  13. 13
    Head for the room with the Norfair elevator.
  14. 14
    Set a Power Bomb to clear away some blocks, then run left from the right door, shoot the left door open, and enter the next room.
  15. 15
    Continue running left through water and blast through a wall, then shoot the door ahead and run through.
  16. 16
    Quickly store the charge and roll into a ball, then launch yourself diagonally left from the left tip of the small bump. This should break through Speed Booster blocks high on a wall.
  17. 17
    Use a Power Bomb and follow the tunnel left to find a Power Bomb Tank.
  18. 18
    Return to the Norfair elevator and run left through the wall into the large room to initiate the Speed Booster.
  19. 19
    Store the charge before hitting the wall, then jump over it and onto the ground on the other side.
  20. 20
    Quickly perform a shoulder charge into the left hill and hold left to keep running.
  21. 21
    Store the charge before dropping off the hill.
  22. 22
    Walk left and perform a shoulder charge left, then hold left to run through the wall beyond.
  23. 23
    Go through the door on your left and proceed to the Tourian elevator, then ride it down.
Tips
  • Mastering the Speed Booster's charge storage and release is crucial for accessing certain upgrades.
  • Pay close attention to the minimap (a small map displayed on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap), or Heads-Up Display) to orient yourself in the complex Crateria area.
  • The shoulder charge is essential for breaking through specific walls and activating Speed Booster sequences.
