I. The Story
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samus is going back, back to the beginning.  Before the destruction of SR388,
before disaster struck on the Space Pirate's Frigate; she's taking us back to
her first mission: Samus Aran's Zero Mission.  The Galactic Federation in 20x5
can no longer stand as the wall between order and disaster.  We find the result
to be the Chosen One.  The lone bounty hunter strong, mentally and phyiscally,
to take on the forces of anarchy that threaten the Universe.  The Mother Brain
must be destroyed, Kraid and Ridley must be struck down.  These are your goals
and you must stop at nothing to accomplish them.  Will this be the end though?

II. The Walkthrough
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

================================================================================
i. *.* Morph Ball & Long Beam *.*
================================================================================
For veterans, this looks extremely familiar.  Go to the left.  Hey, The MORPH
BALL Augmentation is still in the same place.  Touch it to acquire the power to
curl into a tiny ball.  Move right to find the first of many Torizo Statues.
Long ago, the Chozo built these statues to serve for eternity.  When they cradle
Samus in her Morph Ball form, they can be give guidance to Samus, hereafter
known as Chozo Relevations.  Relevations go on the Map and lead Samus to her
next new ability.  You can contiue to move right until you reach the Save Room.
There is a long vertical room that you should go up.  Near the top, enter a door
on your left.  Shoot through some crumbling blocks.  In the next room you can
shoot the block in the Torizo Statue's arms and then touch the symbol.  This
is the LONG BEAM.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
ii. *.* Missiles *.*
================================================================================
From the Torizo Statue where you got Long Beam, go back one room and you can
shoot all the way across the screen.  Get rid of some crumbling blocks and leave
through the top of the room.  Shoot some 2x2 blocks and when you reach the upper
corridor, move left and you will see a statue of the head of Kraid and Ridley.
Move right and there will be a Torizo Statue.  Your new Relevation will appear
in the middle of nowhere.  Leave the room where the Torizo Statue is and go down
the long vertical room.  There is a room on the right.  Destroy the crumbling
blocks that lie in front of that door and enter the next room.  There is a short
tunnel that will lead to the next section of Brinstar.  Make your way down while
avoiding enemies.  Enter the door on your right and jump to the Missile Tank in
the middle of the room.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
iii. *.* Bombs *.*
================================================================================
To get to Norfair, Bombs are required, therefore go back the way you came.  When
you try, you must fight the first Boss.  After facing him for the first time, go
back to the red hatch that you saw earlier on the right.  Blast the hatch open
with your newly found Missiles and after entry, avoid the flying creatures.
After you go through a small room similar to a bridge, there will be a room
where you can't continue.  Jump up on the first rock platform in the room and
there will be a nest of the flying things.  Destroy the nests and continue
right.  There will be a rock pillar of crumble blocks.  Shoot the bottom ones
because there is a Missile Tank there.  Face the Burrower again.  There is a
chance you won't beat him.  Make your way right until you reach a vertical room.
Be sure to make a trip down to a red hatch and find the Map Room for download.
Go up and enter the first hatch on your left.  Go up one Map Unit from the Save
Room and Morph Ball through the tunnel at the top of the room.  Shoot open the
Red hatch here, and get the Bombs in the Torizo's hands.  Get the Missile Tank
in the next room by passing through the tunnel at the bottom-left.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
iv. *.* Unknown Item 1 *.*
================================================================================
Back-track through the room with the tunnel and the door will be gray.  Bomb the
column of 3 blocks and some Scarabs will jump on you and drain your energy.
Morph Ball and lay a bomb to destroy them.  There is a room that you skipped
over located between the room with the nests of flying creatures and where you
fought the Burrower for the second time.  Bomb the 3 blocks in the middle of
that room.  Fall to the bottom and enter the hatch on your left.  Locate the
Torizo Statue and Morph Ball in its hands.  The next Chozo Relevation will lead
you into the area of Norfair. Go there.  A short clip fo the Mother Brain will
be shown and then you will find yourself in Norfair.  Bomb next to the center
vertical tunnel and you will fall down.  Save on your right, but you will be
unable to continue in that direction, find the elevator on the left.  As you
are travelling, notice there is a Missile Tank that you can't get yet.  Bomb the
wall that blocks your path.  Go through to the next room and take the elevator
above you to Crateria.  Go right and jump on the platforms up to the left.
As you enter the Chozo Ruins, there will be a block inscribed with a mark.  You
can't get throught it now, but Bomb through to the door and get the "UNKNOWN
ITEM."  The item will activate the blocks so that they can be destroyed.  Get
the Missile Tank and shoot the walls to get out.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
v. *.* Power Grip *.*
================================================================================

From where you got the Unknown Item, go back to the area where you saw the
first block with the symbol.  Bomb up to it and then jump on the platforms on
the left.  Jump in the mouth of the statue and open the door there.  You will
fall because of the Pitfall blocks.  When you reach the bottom, Bomb the wall
on the left on a Bomb Jump.  It should open up and you can shoot your way
through. Get the POWER GRIP.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
vi. *.* Ice Beam *.*
================================================================================
After getting Power Grip, jump on the new platforms up to the top and continue
to the left.  Experiment with the Power Grip.  Jump from platform to platform
and when you come to one where you can't see the top, shoot the top and use
Power Grip to get over it.  Jump down and Recharge and Save at your ship.  Take
the door on the right and the elevator back down to Norfair.  Navigate across
to ICE BEAM.  After you get Ice Beam there will be no where to go because the
hatch will turn green, meaning you will have to shoot it with a Super Missile.
Bomb your way out of the Torizo Statue room at the bottom and freeze the turtle
in the next room and jump on him.  Do the same in the next room at the top after
saving.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
vii. *.* To Kraid Region *.*
================================================================================
*.* Kraid Region *.*

Continue across to the right and then fall through some Pitfall blocks.  Avoid
the ultra-heated environment on the left and take the next door down.  Leave
Norfair by freezing by hopping on the turtles.  Make your way back to the the
corridor where you started the game.  In the second room there are crumbling
blocks.  Go to the bottom of that vertical room and take the elevator to Kraid.
Enter the Blue hatch on the left to Save and then the Red hatch to get a Missile
Tank.  Continue to the end of this room and shoot the farthest right floor block
to open a passage.  Bomb away some more blocks and then lay a bomb in the statue
to activate a Speed Ball attack.  Power Grip up the notches in the wall and on
the last one you can choose to time a Wall Jump or just blast away the blue
block.  Take the top most hatch on the left and go all the way across this room.
Then shoot through 3 2x2 Blocks and then fall down.  You can't continue on the
right, and if you Speed Ball, you don't seem to go anywhere.  Look closely at
the wall when you fall.  There is a blue block that can be bombed, so when you
fall back down, Bomb that block and Speed Ball a second time to fall in that
notch in the wall.  The wall here is a mirage so you can go through it and
reveal some Eyeball creatures and a Red hatch.  Blast through the hatch.  Morph
Ball in the Y shaped statue to activate the ZIP LINES.  Shoot the red mechanism
on the wall to bring the Zip Line to you and then jump on to it to take you
across and through and Energy Tank.  Save in the next room and fall through a
Pitfall block and go into the 2x2 Map unit room on the left.  See the Boss
Guide.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
viii. *.* Unknown Item 2 *.*
================================================================================

Go left and around, back down, and to where you first entered Kraid.  Take the
hatch below the one to the Save room here.  The Zip Line here has also been
activated.  As your going, shoot the blocks in front of you.  In the next room,
bomb the floor and go into the acid.  Don't worry, it's also a mirage.  Fall
a great distance to the bottom and go right.  In the room with the Red hatch,
there is a crumbling block right at the entrance.  Shoot it and fall through 2
levels of Pitfall Blocks.  On the right, shoot a 2x2 crumbling block and then
another block in the wall.  Morph Ball through to get UNKNOWN ITEM 2.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
ix. *.* Speed Booster *.*
================================================================================
The blocks with symbols on them are now active, so you can move more freely.
Go back and shoot the 2 blocks that are lower on the ceiling between the
2 fly pipes with a Missile.  Destroy the symbolic block and exit this room on
the top right.  Destroy all of the creatures in the next room and then in the
room with nothing but 2 doors, Bomb the floor and fall.  Exit this room with
all of the Eyeball creatures in the upper-left of the room.  Destroy the Living
Door and enter to battle Kraid.  After defeating him, Bomb the 3 blocks in the
lower left of the room.  Get the SPEED BOOSTER.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
x. *.* Hi-Jump/Spring Ball*.*
================================================================================
Speed Boost all the way across the boss's chamber to get back to the room with
all of the Eye Ball creatures, all the way through to the tall vertical room.
Freeze some turtles to climb as well as the wall on the right which crumbles.
At the top of the room on the right is a Save Room.  Take the upper of the 2
doors on the left.  Jump on the Zip Line.  I hope you are reading this before
doing so because there are about 15 flying creatures that will swarm at you
when you Zip Line across and if you don't shoot them while Zip Lining, you will
lose a great deal of your Energy. Leave Kraid and you will see a cut-scene
showing Ridley's arrival.  Go to the right to activate a Chozo Relevation
leading you to Norfair.  Go to Norfair.  In Norfair, go to the large room on the
right and Speed Boost from this room through to the room on the lower right.
In the room on the left here, Shoot the blocks out of your way and Speed Boost
right.  In the next room down on the left, shoot the creatures and open the
Red Hatch with a missile.  Get HI-JUMP & SPRING BALL (Ball Jump).

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xi. *.* Varia Suit *.*
================================================================================
Leave by going back.  The room you Morph Ball to and the right is ultra-heated.
Jump up to the ledge you could not reach before.  Fall.  Bomb the wall on the
right and enter the hatch above you as there is no way to continue through the
one in front of you.  Recieve a Chozo Relevation from the Torizo Statue and it
will take you back to Brinstar.  Leave this room and jump to the ledge on the
right.  It is a mirage and will reveal a Speed Ball machine.  Set a Bomb and
blast up.  Go to the top of the second long vertical room in Brinstar.  Go right
When you reach a barrier creature, go up and over.  Save and go back to the
left.  Shoot the ceiling.  Move up.  You won't be able to reach the ledge on the
right because of the pitfall blocks on the left, so freeze the floating creature
to jump across.  Shoot above you and enter the hatch on your left.  You won't be
able to get through at first, but the leech-like bugs eat them for you.  If they
get on you, Morph Ball and lay a Bomb.  Jump up to the ledge on the left.  You
will encounter a new type of block that I refer to as Delay blocks.  When you
jump on them, they will begin crumbling and you will have a moment to jump off
before it gives out on you.  Let the leeches destroy the barrier creature before
you go through.  In the next room get the VARIA SUIT.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xii. *.* Wave Beam *.*
================================================================================
Acid no longer hurts you, so when you go back out, take a dive.  Pick up an
Energy Tank in the acid.  You won't be able to continue to the left so you will
have to go right.  Dive into the acid by destroy some of the blocks in the
second pit.  You will need to destroy another of those barrier creatures, so
before you jump down you should go up to one of those machines that goes up when
you shoot them and find some of the leeches.  Let them crawl on you and
transport them to the barrier.  Get a Chozo Relevation where you come out.  Go
to Norfair in the vertical room where you got Hi-Jump/Spring Ball.  In a room
with a Torizo Statue, there is a Morph Ball passage to an ultra-heated area.
Bomb your way around here.  Jump the ledge and in the next room you will have to
clear away many blocks so that you can Speed Boost and jump up through some
Speed blocks.  Destroy the giant creature in the next room with missiles.  Past
a Save room you will find 2 corridors leading to the same place.  A red hatch
where you will find the Map Room for Norfair and an acid pit?  What's an acid
pit doing here?  Well it isn't there.  Go through it.  Go through the hatch on
the right.  Jump on the little pillars across.  If you fall, you will have to
jump and Morph Ball through the lava and start over.  Save and go back left.
Shoot the ground near the hatch on the left.  The lava is a mirage.  Destroy
another of those giant creatures and get the WAVE BEAM.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xiii. *.* Super Missiles *.*
================================================================================
Go back to the Save Room and go right.  Practice using the Wave Beam and use it
to clear some blocks out of your way and Speed Boost to the other side of the
ultra-heated room.  You will have to defeat the TWIN LARVAE.  See the Boss
Guide.  Speed Boost to the right and down.  Pick up the Missile Tank here.
Clear away the Reaper Vines that block your path.  When you reach a dead end,
Morph Ball in the lower-left corner to get to another boss.  After beating the
Hornet Pupa, go to Ridley.  You will see the cut scene where Ridley arrives on
Zebes.  You won't be able to do anything here, so you should go back up to
Norfair where the Pupa will be gone.  Jump down there.  Now you will have to
fight the Hornet.  After beating the Hornet, the way will open to the first
SUPER MISSILE TANK.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xiv. *.* Unknown Item 3 *.*
================================================================================
Go to the Save Room by the elevator entrance to Ridley.  Open the Green Hatch to
the left of the Save Room.  Go through this room and open the Red Hatch.  There
is an Energy Tank in this room and it appears easy enough to get, but there are
4 blocks in this room that are a mirage.  If you are careful, it is possible to
avoid falling.  If you do, lay a Bomb in the next room and destory all of the
blue and red circle creatures.  Then go down in the next room.  Save on rhe left
and Morph Ball downward.  If you fall, then you should go through the rooms on
the left.  Then you can Morph Ball downward to continue (go back to get the
Energy Tank first though).  Go all the way down, shoot open a Red Hatch and
you will be in the Map Room.  In the next room you will find a passage on the
ceiling can act as a shortcut in 2 places, otherwise you are stuck fighting your
way to the right side.  Keep your beam to the ceiling and you are sure to find
the shortcuts.  Save.  Go up and enter the first room on the left.  Go across.
When you reach a room with 2 blue circle creatures and a Missile Tank, fall and
Save.  Then destroy the Living Door and enter Ridley's Chamber... he's not
there.  Go across and get UNKNOWN ITEM 3.  Go through the wall on the left and
then go back to Ridley's Chamber.  Now fight him and win.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xv.  *.* Screw Attack *.*
================================================================================
Go to the Save Room by Ridley's Chamber.  Speed Boost to the right and blast
through as far as you can go.  There is an Energy Tank here.  Leave.  Enter the
vertical room on the far right and go up.  There is a runic block that you can
shoot and walk through the mirage wall behind it.  Go back left and move through
the maze.  Shoot the farthest left block in the upper level of the room with a
Missile and then Bomb the 2 blocks that are in the way of moving left.  Leave
this room and you will find yourself at the elevator to go back to Norfair.
When you get back, the right wall will crumble to reveal a broken Torizo Statue.
Go to the upper right and then down and double back left past the elevator
shaft.  Begin Speed Boosting and you will break through a few sets of blocks and
finally some blocks that reveal a Speed Ball machine.  Speed Ball through a lot
and go to the left.  You will have to go around some turtles, but not for long
as in the next room you will find SCREW ATTACK.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xvi. *.* Through Tourian *.*
================================================================================
Go through the rooms back to the dead end.  Screw Attack through the floor on
the right. Follow the map back to Brinstar to the 2 faced tunnel of Kraid and
Ridley's faces.  If you run into trouble, remember that Screw Attack blocks are
placed everywhere to get you places convieniently.  When you reach the statues
it will become the tunnel that will lead to Tourian.  A cut-scene will show the
Metroids killing the Space Pirates.  Go through the Save Room and go until you
meet your first Metroid which actually come out of nowhere so you have to be
careful of them.  If they do latch on to you, they suck your life quick, so
Bomb them off as fast as you can.  Then freeze them and shoot them with
Missiles. You will have to take out A LOT of them.  When you reach a room that
seems to be clear, but the hatches are still gray, Bomb the floor to find MANY.
Try not to make the same mistake I did and fall through BOTH floors at once
because then you have about 7 of them on you.  Save.  After this, take out the
bars of energy with Missiles to get to the Mother Brain.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xvii. *.* Return To Your Ship *.*
================================================================================
After you have defeated the Mother Brain, the self-destruct cycle will begin.
Go to the vertical room on the other side of the Mother Brain.  This will test
your platform jumping abilities.  Almost the entire room is made up of Delay
Blocks which crumble quickly after you step on them.  Be quick and be light and
there should be no reason that you don't make it out of this one.  When you take
the elevator up, you should find that you have to jump a few more ledges and
shoot your way through some columns.  Speed Boost all the way to the right and
there is your ship.  Jump in and fly away... but... you are attacked and your
Power Suit has been disabled.  The Space Pirates have you trapped.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xviii. *.* Welcome to Chozodia *.*
================================================================================
Equipped with your all-mighty pistol, move left up some ledges and when you find
a building, shoot the blocks on the lowest part of the building and you will
find you can crawl into the Space Pirate's fortress.  You will quickly find the
Map Room where your Gun will process the map data.  Enter the Save Room.  Notice
Save Rooms here are more advanced and will not only allow you to save, but as
in Metroid Prime, they will restore your Energy Tanks to full power.  Unlike
Prime, they will also restore your weapons.  There is a Red Hatch, but you can
crawl through a vent above the hatch.  You will most likely be caught jumping
down.  Here's a map to get to the nearest hiding point.  'H' is the Hiding Room.
 ___ ___
|   |H _ <--- Crawl and then jump up.  There is a mirage wall on the upper left.
|___|S|M|

Avoid the Green beams in the next room as best you can, but there will be one
you can't avoid...

         _|H| <--- You will run into a barrier, and some pitfall blocks.  Jump
        | | |      up a few platforms and they will stop searching for you.
 _____ _| | |
|     |___|_|
|_____|_|

There is a room with a green spaceship in it.  It will show up on the map.  Not
long after there will be a Save Room.  Recharge there and head out.  Go up to
the left from the Red Hatch.  You will find a Blue Hatch 3 levels down that will
take you to yet another Red Hatch.  Shoot away 3 blocks and fall... another
trap...
  _    |   |
 | |   |___| <--- Spaceship
 | |  _|S|
 | | |_
 | |   |
 | |___|
 |H| <--- You will fall down some pitfall blocks into this room where it will
          take a minute, but they will call off the search for you.

In the next room, don't get caught by the search lights.  Just don't.  Take the
second blue hatch in the upper-right of the room.  Snake your way around the
ledges in the next room and shoot through some crumbling blocks to the Save
Room.  Here are more Security Lasers.  Avoid them.  It is possible to get
through them all without getting hit.  Exit the room in the upper left.  There
will be an inevitable sighting in this room...

                   |
                   |_
                   | |
                   | |
                   | |
                   | |
                   | |
         _ _ ______| |
          |_|______|_|
          |
 _ _ ___| |
|H|_|_____| <--- You will end up falling and jump a great ways but you can find
                 saftey on a ledge in the marked room.

There is a Save Room on the left.  You can't afford to get caught by the search
lights in the next room as I haven't even found a way to escape them if you do.
You will come to a room where there are blocks all along a wall.  DO NOT SHOOT
THESE.  They are reactionary and will cause you to fall through the floor right
in front of a pirate!  This is where I'm talking about...

|___| |_| <--- This is where the reactionary blocks are.
|_ _ _|O|
|S|_|___|

Go through the door in this room and in the room after next there are search
beams that are moving.  Avoid them, but you will still most likely be caught in
the next room or two.  Crawl across the Delay Blocks and continue going across
until you fall and run into some more.  Follow the map for more...

   _____ _
  |     | |
  |H ___| | <--- If you are a Wall Jumper, you can lead the Space Pirate to the
|H|_|<- | |      lower-right and then Wall Jump up to a ledge on the right.
      | | |
      |
      Here, there is a ledge but if you stay on it, they will find you.  Take
      cover on the left wall where there is a mirage.

Shoot the left wall in the next room.  As you continue, you should see Power
Bombs in the next room... HEY!  Their stealing them...  run after him, but it
is impossible to catch him.  Avoid the beams in the next rooms and the Space
Pirates in the next as well... though I didn't so I better talk about it...

 _________
|        H
|       |_ _
|_________| |_____   <--- You begin crawling a great distance when you enter
          |_|_____| |     this really big room.  Go all around the outside of
                  | |     the room and you will have to crawl again.  There will
                          probably still be Space Pirates following.  This is
                          when you beat them to the left of the room and shoot
                          the platform you had been crawling on out from under
                          them.  Wait a second and they will bring down the
                          alarm.

Save Room on the right and then a few ledges and finally, the boss: Chozo Sun
God.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

================================================================================
xix. *.* An End to the Beginning *.*
================================================================================
Discovering your aim to be true, the Sun God presents so you, your fully powered
suit.  In addition to all of the Latent abilities you had already recovered,
the Unknown Items are revealed to be PLASMA BEAM, GRAVITY SUIT, and SPACE JUMP.
Experiment with them, especially the Space Jump.  Leave this room by Space
Jumping to the top of the room.  Go to the bottom of this room with the ledges.
Destroy all of the Space Pirates you meet with your Plasma Beam which will
easily pierce and destroy all in your path.  There are some Missile blocks in
front of the hatch to the Save Room.  Notice there is no resistance in water.
Go up and then fall down a long shaft.  Go through the next room and notice the
lack of resistance in the lava and the lack of damage.  Now, you can begin to
backtrack through the area that you have already covered.  When you get back to
the Space Pirate Mother Ship, begin exploring.  You will quickly meet a Shadow
Pirate which are lethal fighters and not nearly as disposable as the regular
pirates.  Make your way up to the very top of the Main Map (the downloaded map,
not Chozo Ruins)  You will find at the bottom left of the very large top room of
the Mother Ship there is a hole.  You will find your POWER BOMBS.  Go into the
room next to the tank and set one off.  Space Jump up to find another.  Go back
up to the big room and then to the upper-right.  Use Power Bombs when necessary
to clear Power Bomb blocks out of your way.  You'll find a Robotic Ridley at the
end of this corridor.  After beating him, get out of the Mother Ship by going to
the yellow space ship on the map.  It is relatively straight-forward getting
there.

   You've done it.  You've beat ZERO MISSION.  Good job.  Now try Normal! :~)

III. Boss Guides
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Names... not official (Except for Kraid, Ridley, and Mother Brain).  I
have named the bosses.  If anyone has the official names, feel free to e-mail
them to me.  Thanks.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
i. {\ BURROWER /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Your first boss is a close range attacker that will barricade you in with its
body, and then lunge its head at you.  It will attack 2 or 3 times in different
areas.  Shoot missiles in its eye to defeat it.  It holds your Charge Beam
Function.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ii. {\ ACID WORM /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
This worm is another easily defeated boss.  It will try to attack you, but if
you jump up to the Zip Line, it won't be able to hit you.  When it is stuck on
the other side, shoot the sensitive areas on its neck.  It will die after many
Missile shots.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
iii. {\ KRAID /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
After a short cut-scene, Kraid will begin throwing little claws at you.  Shoot
those to get Energy and Missiles.  To damage him, Shoot a Missile at the red
dots on his head, then Shoot missiles in his mouth.  After 4 in the mouth, he
will take out a good portion of the platform away and start shooting the claws
from his stomach.  Along with continued swipes and claws flying, attack him.
He will eventually knock away all of the platform and you will have to attack
from the third claw up.  A few missiles after that he will die and you will see
half of the statue from the beginning of the game light up.  Return to Mission
5's section of the Walkthrough.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
iv. {\ TWIN LARVAE /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Their stomachs are the their weak spot.  For the first one, use the newly
acquired Wave Beam to destroy him.  With the other, you will have to shoot him
back and lay Bombs to hit his underside.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
v. {\ HORNET PUPA /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
It will release fluttering turtles.  Shoot them to freeze them and jump on them
and then jump up to shoot the things attaching to it to the ceiling with
missiles.  After attack both sides throughly, it will fall.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
vi. {\ HORNET /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
It will attack from 2 directions:  right and left.  You will have to hit it with
A LOT of Missiles in the butt.  I recommend standing on the left because you can
hit it with a charge beam shot when its coming at you from the right and then
attack when it begins speeding up on the left.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
vii. {\ RIDLEY /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Shoot Ridley many times with your Missiles.  He is actually VERY easy if you
unload all you've got on him right away.  Make sure you have many Missiles
though.  I would say at least 110.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
viii. {\ MOTHER BRAIN /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
When you reach the Mother Brain, it will be sitting in a glass jar.  Shoot a
bunch of Missiles at it to destroy the outer casing.  Then when you have gotten
to the Brain itself, you will have to have it shoot a blue psychonic wave at
you.  Then it will leave its eye available for a beating.  Shoot as many
Missiles as you can into its eye before it closes.  Meanwhile there will be 2
Defense Turets shooting some sort of projectile and the Energy discs will still
be coming from all sides.  You should have A LOT of Energy to beat this one...
unless you're one of the crazy people who likes doing this kind of stuff with
2 Energy Tanks.  Beat it, and the self-destruct cycle will begin.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ix. {\ CHOZO SUN GOD /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
After exploring Chozodia and investigating the Chozo Ruins, you will reach the
Sun God that will present you with a test.  If your shot isn't true, you will
hurt yourself, but if it is true, they you will succeed.  4 shots when the orb
it white will do it.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
x. {\ MECHA RIDLEY /}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Shoot the glowing glass mechancical thing on its chest about a hundred times
with Missiles.  Destroy it, and it will activate the Mother Ship's self-destuct
cycle.

IV. The Extras
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The Tanks are listed in order by where they are found and required items
for getting them are found in the brackets [].

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i. Missle Tanks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>>>>BRINSTAR<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
The first Missile Tank you acquire.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
From Save Room below first Red Hatch: go through the Red Hatch, move 9 Map Units
to the right.  In this room, there is a rock pillar made of crumble blocks.
Blast them apart to get a tank.

*-* [ Bombs ] *-*
After getting Normal Bombs, blast apart the blocks at the bottom of the room
where the Torizo Statue is.  The wall on the left is a mirage, so pass through
it.  Bomb jump your way to the tank.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
In the room with the flying creature nests, there is a ledge on the far left
side of the room.  The wall has a passage behind it here and will lead to a
third nest and a tank.

*-* [ Hi-Jump AND Morph Ball ] *-*
At the top of the second long vertical room in Brinstar, there is an opening.
Freeze 2 turtles to get to the opening and tehre is a Missile Tank inside the
tunnel.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
There is a Missile Tank in the Northern area of Brinstar.  It is impossible to
miss.

*-* [ Spring Ball ] *-*
From the Map room, go up 1 Map unit and then through 2 hatches moving left.  You
will come across a room with nothing really in it.  Shoot the ground/lay Bombs
on it and you will find an opening.  On the right side of the wall there is a
tank.  Spring Ball up to it to lay a Bomb and then jump in to get it.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>NORFAIR<<<<<

*-* [ Power Grip ] *-*
For the first Missile Tank you see, you will need to get Power Grip and come
back.

*-* [ Power Grip OR Bombs ] *-*
Below the elevator to Crateria, there is a room with a Missile Tank in it.  I
have gotten it with continous Bomb Jumps, but unless you are a Master, don't try
it or you won't be able to get out.

*-* [ Power Grip AND Ice Beam ] *-*
After recieving the Relevation to go to Kraid, the Map will indicate an item in
a unit.  Shoot the right wall above a lone turtle.  Freeze the turtle and step
on him to reach the Missle Tank.

*-* [ Ice Beam ] *-*
After getting Ice Beam, you should find a large room in the lower right corner
of the map in Norfair.  On the left side of the tall wall there will be
breakable blocks above a hopping creature.  Shoot the 3 blocks that stop his
complete jump and then freeze him.  Hop on him and jump up to a ledge on the
left to get a tank.

*-* [ Hi-Jump ] *-*
Right after getting Hi-Jump, you will jump straight into a Missile Tank.

*-* [ Varia Suit ] *-*
In the second room from the top on the left in the far right vertical room,
there is an ultra-heated room, but with Varia Suit, you can enter this room with
no problem.  There is a Missile Tank in this room.

*-* [ Speed Booster ] *-*
Right after you beat the Twin Larvae, you can Speed Boost.  There is a Missile
Tank right there.

*-* [ Screw Attack ] *-*
Immediately following getting Screw Attack, there is a Missile Tank.

*-* [ Super Missiles ] *-*
See the "Bomb AND Super Missiles" Super Missile Tank entry for the location of
this room.  When you are going through these rooms you will find many
destructable blocks.  On the map a circle will appear indicating an item.  In
the Map Unit indicated, there is a Missile Tank on the very top of one of
these destructable columns.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>CRATERIA<<<<<

*-* [ Bombs ] *-*
When you first visit Crateria from Norfair, you can go right and Bomb a block in
the water on the far left.  Continue Bombing to get through to a seemingly
empty room.  Shoot the walls to find a tank.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
After you get the Unknown Item, shoot the block that barricades it.  Shoot the
walls to get out.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>KRAID<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
The first room on the right when you enter Kraid has a Missile Tank in it.

*-* [ Bombs OR Beam ] *-*
After defeating Kraid, you Speed Boost into a tall, vertical room.  The lower of
2 doors on the top left leads to an Acid waterfall.  Jump through it.  On the
left wall there is a narrow space.  Bomb the wall here and there is a tank in
the wall.

*-* [ Bombs ] *-*
In the long vertical room containing the elevator to Brinstar, there is a room
on the left at the very bottom.  Go through this door and across until you find
a room where there are a bunch of turtles in a central tube.  There is a Speed
Ball device at the bottom.  Lay a Bomb to speed up to the top and take the hatch
on the right.  After the Zip Lines have been activated, you will notice the red
switch in the middle.  Bomb it and time a second bomb to Bomb jump you up to the
line.  When you are above the Missile Tank, press A to fall and get it.  This
one will take a while... don't worry, it is possible.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>RIDLEY<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
After getting Super Missiles, passing through a Green Hatch, and then a Red
Hatch, you should reach a Save Room on the left.  Next to it, there is a passage
that you have to Morph Ball through.  There is Missile Tank here, and it is
extremely difficult to miss.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
Another difficult one to miss.  It comes after the Map Room.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
No particular Latent abilities needed here, but it is a bit tricky.  After going
to the Save Room in the lower right, there is a room on the left of the vertical
room.  In the second last Map Unit of this room, there is a circle on the map
to represent an item's location underneath the first level.  If you fall through
the holes, you will find the room I'm talking about.  There is lava in this room
but it is a mirage, so go through it.  On the right of this pit, there is tank
if you shoot.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
Very easily gotten tank in a long horizontal room 3 Map units above and 6 Map
units to the left of the Save Room in the lower right of Ridley.

*-* [ Ice Beam ] *-*
Right after getting the previous tank, there is another in the next room.  Shoot
and freeze one of the blue circle creatures to jump up to the tank.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>CHOZODIA<<<<<

*-* [ Space Jump AND Missiles ] *-*
Right after you beat the Chozo Sun God, you will jump into some water.  Speed
Boost right and get a Super Missile Tank.  It is right after you get out of the
water, jump up, space jump up and run to the right.  There is a long vertical
room.  Space Jump down until you find a ledge on the left.  There is a Missile
Block on the top block on the upper left of the ledge.  Shoot it and Spring
Ball into it and you will find the Missile Tank on the other side.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ii. Energy Tanks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">

>>>>>BRINSTAR<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
You would have to try to not get it.  Find it right after your second battle
with Burrower.

*-* [ Bomb Jump OR Hi-Jump ] *-*
In the corridor that you start in, there is a circle on the eighth map unit
right.  Shoot the ceiling on right of that room.  There is an Energy Tank there.
Now the trick is getting it.  If you are a Bomb Jump master, it is three levels
up, but if you aren't, you should wait until you have Hi-Jump and you can jump
off the ledge on the right.

*-* [ Varia Suit ] *-*
Right after getting Varia Suit, there is an Energy Tank in the acid.  Bomb the
ground all along the bottom and you will find a 2 block opening.  Shoot the wall
on the left and over to the tank.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>NORFAIR<<<<<

*-* [ Missiles AND Wave Beam ] *-*
Right after you destroy the Twin Larvae, you will find its skin that it hatched
from.  Shoot the ceiling around here and you will see the tank.  Shoot the block
below it with a missile to get to it.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>KRAID<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
When you first use the Zip Line, it will take you into a tank.

*-* [ Speed Booster ] *-*
Behind the second Red Hatch down on the right when you first enter Kraid, there
is an Energy Tank but there are a lot of fiends and pitfall blocks.  Destroy
the creatures and then right from where the pitfall blocks start, Speed Boost to
the left and back to the door.  Right before you reach the door, press DOWN.
Then press A and RIGHT.  You should Shinespark straight across through some
Speed blocks and into an Energy Tank.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>RIDLEY<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
After getting Super Missiles, you will go through a Green Hatch and then a red
one.  In the room after the Red Hatch, there is an Energy Tank, be sure to jump
over the 4 block gap, or go around if you fall.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
After getting Unknown Item 3, the wall behind it is a mirage.  Go through it and
an Energy Tank is sitting there.

*-* [ --- ] *-*
There is an Energy Tank on the right of Ridley's Chamber and the Save Room
there.  Shoot the ground in the room where you Speed Boost through the right
wall, to the right of the tubes that let out infinite flies.  There will be a
1 block opening.  Enter it to reveal the floor is a mirage and to find an Energy
Tank.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iii. Super Missile Tanks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>>>>NORFAIR<<<<<

*-* [ Ice Beam ] *-*
After getting Screw Attack, Use a Super Missile on the Green Hatch 2 floors
down.  Go all the way to the right of this room and when it seems you've reached
the end, shoot the ground next to the door.  Jump in the "lava" and exit through
the door on the left.

*-* [ Bombs AND Super Missiles ] *-*
Under the Save Room that is connected to the Elevator room to Brinstar, there is
an unmapped room.  Go to it via a Green Hatch in a room you used to Speed Boost
to a lower level on the far right vertical room.  Go all the way across this
room to find a second unmapped room that holds a Super Missile Tank.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

>>>>>RIDLEY<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
The first Super Missile Tank you get will be right after you beat the Hornet.

*-* [ Bombs AND Super Missiles ] *-*
There is a room where you get a very easy Missile Tank.  In this room there are
a lot of floating red circle creatures.  In the upper-left of the room, you can
Bomb away a section of blocks and jump up and use a Super Missile to clear away
a block requiring one.  Bomb away a coiling chain of blocks, bomb or shoot the
sole remaining block and get the the Super Missile Tank.

>>>>>CHOZODIA<<<<<

*-* [ Speed Booster AND Gravity Suit ] *-*
Right after getting the Gravity Suit, there is water under some Missile Blocks.
Speed Boost to the right and through some Speed Boost blocks and into a Super
Missile Tank.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iv. Power Bomb Tanks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>>>>>CHOZODIA<<<<<

*-* [ --- ] *-*
The first tank you get is in the very upper portion of Chozodia on the left of
the MAIN (downloaded) Map.  In the largest room, there is a hole at the very
bottom left.  Go down here and you will find a Space Pirate carrying them.  He
will put the tank down in the room next to where you see him.

*-* [ Power Bombs ] *-*
Right after you get Power Bombs, enter the room next to it on the right.  Set
off a Power Bomb and Space Jump to the top of the room.  There is another tank
here.

Question: Why does this guide not cover Controls or a Version History?

Answer:   I think if you own the game, you should know how to move Samus around.
          As for Version History, I doubt anyone cares when I added information
          to the guide as long as its there.
