Keep going through this room. Eventually you'll see a Metroid fly over your
head after jumping from one small platform to another. Jump to the big
platform to the left of it, and the METROID should head towards you. If not,
jump a little to the right to get its attention.

METROIDS REMAINING: 3

Jump over several sets of spikes. One of the platforms is composed of blue
diamond shapes. Hm...anyhow, space jump over the last set of spikes, and head
left into the next room. It's a similar situation to the second and third
Metroids in this game, only you won't have a good landing spot to use the same
technique. Instead, head as far left on the ledge as you dare. Either the
METROID will fly around the ledge and up (at which point you can freeze it), or
more likely, it'll get stuck on the ledge as it tries to come up. In that
case, freeze it as you jump over it, then walk under it, freeze it again, and
finish it off with five missiles.

METROIDS REMAINING: 2

Make your way down the shaft, but again, be careful. There's still another
Metroid here, below you. You'll probably see it as you drop onto the ledge on
the right. Take care of it the way you did the last one: with extreme
prejudice.

METROIDS REMAINING: 1

One more brief earthquake. Head right through the doorway you see below you.


3. The Final Boss [LASTBOSS]
----------------------------

The music will change again, and you'll hear some kind of screaming along with
it. Yipe...anyhow, Space Jump over the spikes you encounter, then do one last
CAREFUL Space Jump to get through the section where there are spikes on both
the floor AND the ceiling. Drop through the pit on the far right, and you'll
finally face....

FINAL BOSS BATTLE: METROID QUEEN

NOTE: Through this final battle, you will not be able to pause your game.

NOTE 2: If this is your first time, and you start this battle with less than
200 missiles or with low health, morph into a ball and roll through the gap
underneath where she sits. You'll drop into the chamber with the Ice Beam.

Strategy: Looks like Mama's mad that you killed her children! Immediately
switch to missiles and fire at her when you get the chance. First she'll
extend her neck and try to hit you with her nose. Stay where you are and take
the hit, shooting at her when you get the chance. The second time, she should
come at you with open mouth. There are a few alternate methods to hurt her
here, but if you're playing for the first time, I suggest you mash the fire
button as quickly as you can. When you hit her in the open mouth, she'll pause
in mid-lunge, allowing you to fire even more missiles down her throat.

After two lunges, she'll back up, then spit out some spiky...things at you.
Screw Attack them to avoid damage. She'll then begin to repeat her attack
pattern.

When you hit her with 180 missiles, she'll be done for. Congratulations,
you've beaten the game!

Alternate Strategy: Thanks to Ramza1 for thoroughly testing how to do this
trick, and describing it thoroughly. Most of the advice used with the previous
strategy still holds, but with one important difference: what you do when you
manage to hit her in the open mouth.

This time, when you stun her with a missile, quickly morph into ball form and
jump into the Queen's mouth. If you do it right, she'll close her mouth over
Samus. When she does this, stop holding left on your D-pad. Wait until the
Queen retracts her neck fully, then hold left until Samus rolls into the
Queen's stomach. Lay bombs quickly, and the Queen will spit you back out.
(Samus will take constant damage from being "eaten", but it's not too fast a
drain; don't panic.) Do this a total of 4-5 times, and the Queen will die.
------------------------------


...OK, maybe you HAVEN'T beaten the game yet. The room will shake, and the
"cop-out" passage underneath the Queen will seal up. Once the Metroid Queen is
gone, run into the passage behind where she used to be.

J. Departure [FINALE]
=====================

You'll find yourself in a room you've seen before, albeit through a crawlspace
that's now below you. Run left and into the egg. It'll hatch, revealing a
baby Metroid! As tempted as you might be to kill it, don't. (Actually, you
CAN'T kill it. So there.) It'll follow you around. Continue left, and as you
pass a bunch of diamond shapes, the Metroid will EAT them!

Continue up the shaft, then head right. The passage before you is blocked by
more diamond-shapes, but the Metroid will eat these as well. Keep heading
right, and through more diamond shapes.

Basically, continue through the tunnels, and have the Metroid eat the diamond
shapes as you go. If the diamond shapes are above you, wait for the Metroid to
