Missile Tanks increase your maximum missile capacity, allowing you to fire more powerful projectiles before needing to replenish. Given the effectiveness of Missiles against many enemies and bosses, maximizing your missile count is highly beneficial.
- Similar to Energy Tanks: Missile Tanks are hidden in similar ways to Energy Tanks – behind Missile Blocks, in Morph Ball tunnels, or requiring advanced movement techniques.
- Use Missiles to Find More Missiles: Many Missile Tanks are found by destroying Missile Blocks with your own Missiles.
- Power Bomb Reveals: Deploying a Power Bomb can often reveal hidden Missile Tanks in a large area, as they destroy certain types of hidden blocks.
- Look Up and Down: Don't just look straight ahead. Many collectibles are located on high ledges or in pits that require careful exploration.
Always keep an eye out for Missile Tanks. Having a large reserve of missiles can turn the tide in difficult battles and speed up exploration by quickly clearing obstacles.
