ItemsEdit

Missile Expansion

First, to start the puzzle, Samus must use her Dark Visor to see a Multi-Lock Blast Shield. When she destroys that, a Kinetic Orb Cannon will be activated at the bottom of the chamber. Next, she must stand in front of the tall pillar in the middle of the room and turn on her Echo Visor to spot a sonic emitter that she can destroy. A timer will kick in, and she will have to use the orb cannon again to get on top of the pillar and fall into a Morph Ball maze in the floor, which contains the expansion. She can then use a Spinner to open up a passage and escape.

TriviaEdit

• If Samus activates the Kinetic Orb Cannon before jumping down to the lower floor during her first visit, she can instantly destroy the Quad that appears by rolling into the device. As the Quad lands on it after falling from the ceiling, the cannon will destroy it as it shoots Samus back to the top floor.
