What you want to do now is speed boost in the area your ship is in. If you want to wait until later in the game when we acquire the Gravity Suit to get these next couple pickups, I don’t blame you, although I think the reward will be worth it! Make sure you save and recharge once you get there because the moves we’re going to pull off are gonna be a little dicey and you’ll take a lot of damage. Once you’re at the top, speed boost and start running left towards your ship. BUT there are a disgusting amount of powerups and expansions that are now available to us, and I for one want to grab them all!Īaah the fresh air of Crateria! First thing we want to do is lay a power bomb to get through the yellow doors and head up. This entire next section is optional, so if you want to skip it, then head straight down into Norfair. Drop down into the mouth and you’ll come face to face with POWER BOMB EXPANSION #2. The gross mouth-flower-thing on the far left is the only one without an enemy living in it. Lay a power bomb and watch the ground beneath you evaporate. You’ll notice those gross mouth/flower looking things on the ground beneath you. You’ll immediately be pounced on by some very aggressive enemies, but take them out and then head towards the left side of the room. Jump up, again, using the Save Station if you need to, and keep going up until you see another green blast door on your top left, right before the elevator up. Once you’re all the way over, you can claim POWER BOMB EXPANSION #1! Woohoo! Immediately drop one of those power bombs, A) just so you can see how destructive and cool they are, and B) because the wall beside you is going to blow out, giving way to MISSILE EXPANSION #16 (Woooo!). Introduce it to a Super Missile and enter.įreeze those pesky jumping yellow enemies and make your way across the room to the left. You’ll drop down and see a green blast door.

Use it if you want, but when you’re done, drop down to the bottom and bomb the middle of the floor. This room has a Save Station on the second floor up. Enter the blast door on your right and walk into the next room. Keep making your way upwards, freezing even more Rippers and using them as step stools, until you reach the tippy top of this room. Well, now that we can freeze enemies, we have a clear path upwards.įreeze the Rippers and use them as platforms to get you to the top of this room. You’ll remember we fell down this room earlier with no way of getting back up. After filling up your energy, go back out and take a look around. Feels nice to be out of that hot, dank pit we call Norfair, doesn’t it? Let’s start off by making our way leftward from the elevator room all the over to the Energy Recharge Station several rooms over.
