Defeating the Charge Beam Bug hints and tips for Metroid: Zero Mission

Defeating the Charge Beam Bug

The first time you battle the Charge Beam Bug, you will be returning on your way after snagging the Missles.

When the bug's head emerges from the ceiling, fire a Missle at the eye. It will then be stunned for a moment, then dive down after you. You should stand directly underneath the bug, then run left or right as soon as it begins to dive, or otherwise the bug will anticipate your evasion plan and try to home in on you. You will need to shoot the bug's eye three times to kill it. If you fail to kill the bug and it flees, there will be two chances left in the game to find and defeat it.
