Space Jump Search

Walkthrough: From the Save Station, start moving upward until you find a door with a creature attached to it. Use your Spazer Beam to defeat the creature. (Before heading inside, there is a Ammo Recharge to the right. If you head upward just a little further, there will also be an Aeion Tank hidden in a room that is blocked by a weak point in the left wall.) Head through the door to find a massive room of lava and emptiness. Use your Grapple Beam to swing to the door on the left. Once inside, start jumping from platform to platform as you move upward to the next room. Once there, use the Grapple Beam to reach the door on your right.

In this room will be a Gamma Metroid. As you battle it, it will return to the lava room and then back to room you originally found it in. After defeating it, you can return to the room directly below the room you found the Metroid in to find another Missile Expansion. Now that you have the solo Metroid DNA (or so it appears) for the entire region of Area 4, start heading back to the Chozo Seal. Once there, stand on the button to drain the purple lava. Once all the lava is gone, you'll be able to find another Missile Expansion and another Energy Tank.

From where the button lies near the Chozo Seal, use your Grapple Beam to pull on the red orb you will see and to get you across to that area afterwards. Quickly you will come to, get this, another Chozo Seal of Area 4, this one requiring three Metroids to be defeated. From there, head right and Bomb the weak point in the ceiling. Roll up and around the Energy Tank. Pull on the red orb you come to, and then jump up and into the tunnel that will appear to reach the Energy Tank. Pull on the next red orb you find, and then head back to the new Chozo Seal and head up the path to the Elevator.

Open the next door with a charged shot, and enter said room. There will be nothing in this room, so head into the following room. A quick little cutscene wil play, and after it does, roll into the passageway you'll see in the floor. This will bring you to a crucial Save Station, so make sure to save real quick before moving on. By then dropping down to the floor on the left, you will find a mechanical creature ready to fight. You will have no choice but to face this giant mechanical monster.

After defeating creature, you will actually obtain the Space Jump for your efforts. After learning the ropes of this new gadget, use it to get to the area where the first phase of the fight with monster ended. Before you move on further, get the Aeion Tank and two Missile Expansions.

Missile Expansion #1: Directly below the room where you found the Gamma Metroid is a weak block in the left wall. Bomb it, and the hold onto the ledge and fire a missile at the secondary weak block. Hurry over and grab the Missile Expansion before said block reappears.

Missile Expansion #2: After draining the purple lava from the first Chozo Seal, go to the room with the Teleportation Statue. Enter the door just to the right and Spider Ball over the poisonous flora. On the ceiling will be a weak point that hides the Missile Expansion directly behind it.

Missile Expansion #3: Head to the left of the Energy Recharge Station you came across during the Second Phase of your fight against the monster. Run underneath the spot where the Missile Expansion lies, and Bomb the weak points in the left wall and enter inside. Slowly but surely start bombing the middle pillar starting from the bottom going upward. From there, Spider Ball to the bottom of the second pillar, and then climb on top of the first block that reappears. Continue doing this until you reach the top, where this tricky Missile Expansion can ultimately be obtained.

Missile Expansion #4: Under a rock with weak spots where the Third Phase of the fight took place is where you can find another Missile Expansion. Simply Bomb the weak points to find it.

Aeion Tank #1: At the top of the room that holds the Ammo Recharge, Bomb the left wall. Head through to reach a poisonous cloud, and then use your Lightning Armor to make it through said cloud by going to the right. You will quickly find the Aeion Tank.

Aeion Tank #2: Where the Second Phase of the fight took place, Bomb the left side of the rock formation surrounding the Aeion Tank in clear site. Bomb the next few weak spots that appear, and then activate the Lightning Armor to reach the Aeion Tank.

Energy Tank #3: Head to the right of the second Chozo Seal and Bomb the weak point on the ceiling. Roll up and around the Energy Tank for now, and then pull on and destroy the red glowing block. Jump up into the tunnel that appears to reach the Energy Tank.
