Tips
- Rolling into a ball on the statue's hands restores both health and missiles.
- Bomb blocks are grey blocks that can only be destroyed with bombs.
- Parasites normally are harmless, but when enough latch onto Samus, they drain health. Using bombs near them kills them and can open nearby doors.
- If you need health or missiles while descending shafts, kill any enemies present.
- To get the missile tank in the large room with ledges, you must carefully time bomb placement and movement while falling.
- Enemies spawning from acid pits can be used to replenish health and missiles if needed.
