Bombs are not only great for laying waste to pursuing enemies, but also serve as a key to investigating your surroundings and hunting for Fake Blocks, secret items, and secret passageways.

Roll into a ball and hit the B button repeatedly to give it a try for yourself. Run down the quick corridor to the left, and then climb up and to the left of the following room to find the blue door leading to the Data Room. Don't waste time prodding around here, just keep moving to the bottom-left hatch and toward the Data Room. As you swing around the large room (this time in a clockwise manner), you'll now be granted access to another small room on the right however, its secrets are not yet within your grasp. Enter this Security Room to the left, and jump down to the terminal that will grant Samus the Level 1 access necessary to enter the Data Room on the far left side of the sector.Įxit the Security Room via the bottom-right hatch, and trace your path back the way you came: down and to the left. Follow this path to the right, and then climb all of the way up the lush, green cavern to the entrance of the unmarked Security Room at the top. Don't bother with this room just yet instead, continue around the larger room in a counter-clockwise manner - again, bypassing the second hatch which leads to the as-of-yet unlocked Data Room - until you reach the unlocked hatch in the upper right corner of the room. The first passageway you'll notice is the one directly below your starting point and heading to the left, but you'll soon realize that this is an early dead-end, as Samus won't be able to jump past the tall, wormlike creatures within.

The Security Room isn't labeled on your map, so we'll have to find this one the good old-fashioned way.īegin by saving and refilling your energy and weapons on the way into the sector. Instead of fighting the SA-X, your computer advises an alternate solution: find the bomb upgrade by first unlocking the Level 1 security hatches. But be careful - you're no match for the SA-X at this point in the game, and it won't take much for it to flatten your life-signs with its lethal ice beam. The SA-X has helped spread the parasites throughout the station, and Sector 2 is next on the list of places for you to inspect. The latest Navigation Room report is full of important tidbits, such as the identity of the elevator saboteur: the aptly named SA-X, an X clone of Samus herself at full power. It's been a while since your last heart-to-heart with the computer, and apparently the trusty machine has been doing its homework while you were off exterminating the X in Sector 1.
