The Mining Plaza is the main room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Description[]

The plaza is a large room with steps to the left of the entrance, they are unreachable without the Space Jump. Two large sandpits exist on each sides of the room, housing a Sandigger each. There are several Weakened Columns with sections of Brinstone that can be destroyed with Missiles. Atop a central structure is a series of solar lens that are controlled by sonic transmitters placed around the room. Next to them is a statue of Amorbis. Scanning it states that it might have been placed to warn travelers. An indestructible barrier prevents access to the Transit Station door. To access it, one must go enter the Dark World from Mining Station B, then proceed to use the Light Portal in the dark version of this room.

The Dark Aether version of this room was Duelling Range.

We settled in a mountain region at first, in cliffside dwellings. In time, we established settlements in the green forests of Torvus and the fertile plains of Agon. A Great Temple was built between our three domains, a place of peace and a monument to our accomplishments. It was a time of harmony for our people."
