Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the current location, set a power bomb and go through the door on your right.
  2. 2
    Set a power bomb to clear blocks above, then use Space Jump to ascend. Kill the Space Pirates and grab the Power Bomb Tank.
  3. 3
    Return to the large room above, go through the right door midway up, and head right to the save room.
  4. 4
    Head back towards the ship on your map and stop at the first blue 1x3 shaft. Go to the bottom and use a power bomb to get through the yellow door.
  5. 5
    Shoot the right wall, set a bomb, and start shooting Space Pirates below as you fall. Grab any items they drop, then Space Jump up to the Super Missile Tank above.
  6. 6
    Work your way down to the map room and use a missile to get through the red door.
  7. 7
    Kill the Space Pirates and head right. Shoot the ceiling in the middle of the room to find a Super Missile Tank. Fire a missile at the block below the tank, jump up, and grab it. Drop to the ground, head right, and use a Super Missile to get through the green door.
  8. 8
    Run down the ramp and head right to the next area.
  9. 9
    Roll under the wall and jump to the metal ledge above. Set a power bomb and roll left to grab the Power Bomb Tank.
  10. 10
    Head to the bottom of the blue 1x8 shaft and take the door left to the glass tube.
  11. 11
    Go to the middle of the tube and set a power bomb to shatter it. Drop to the bottom right corner and use a power bomb. Walk left to the wall, then run right as your Speed Booster activates and you run through a pair of blocks. Quickly store the charge before hitting the wall, then do a Super Jump to the top of the shaft (you can also use Space Jump past the Space Pirates, but this way is faster). Grab the Power Bomb Tank at the top.
  12. 12
    Drop back down the shaft and head left to the glass tube room. Work your way to the bottom left corner, set a power bomb, then head left and drop to the bottom of the shaft before using the save room on your right.
  13. 13
    Go right past the shaft to a room with a gradual hill. Shoot the enemies while waiting by the top left door. Run right down the hill and shoot the door open as your Speed Booster kicks in, then store the charge in the shaft. Walk right below the left side of the platform above you, then do a Super Jump to grab an Energy Tank high above.
  14. 14
    Work your way back to the save room below, then head left past the sloping room.
  15. 15
    Use your Screw Attack if you wish to kill the enemies here. Drop to the bottom of the shaft and head left to the next room.
  16. 16
    Go to the middle of the room and jump up to a hidden passage above. Kill the enemies as you roll left and work your way up to a second branch. Head right until you reach the top of the passage, then roll left and bomb the wall to get a Super Missile Tank. Drop back down to the room below and take the door on your left.
  17. 17
    Head left, shooting above you to reveal bomb blocks. Set a bomb by the lowest bomb block just above you when near the left wall. Jump into the passage and follow it right, bombing your way up into the next one. Roll right and jump to the higher of the two tunnels above, then follow it left, bombing the blocks above you. Enter the left of the two passages and bomb the blocks on your left to get a Super Missile Tank.
  18. 18
    Bomb your way up to the top left door or drop to the ground and Space Jump up there before heading through it.
  19. 19
    Run left down the hall to reach the next room and Crateria.
