Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Roll into the statue's hands to restore energy and missiles. Walk left beneath the statue.
  2. 2
    Run right to activate the Speed Booster and continue running to the top of the hill in the larger room ahead.
  3. 3
    Open the door in front of you but do not enter. Run all the way down the hill, turn around, and run back up to activate the Speed Booster.
  4. 4
    Continue running through the open door, blasting through a wall in the next room.
  5. 5
    Jump up to the beetles above, freeze them to use as platforms, and shoot out 3-block sections of the blue wall to progress.
  6. 6
    Wait for the blocks to reform, shoot out another three in a row, and reach the first door on your left. Enter it.
  7. 7
    Run into the next room and use the Speed Booster to blast through spawning enemies. Jump across platforms to the other side of the acid.
  8. 8
    Crouch and shoot the left wall to find a Missile Tank. Roll left to collect it and return to the shaft.
  9. 9
    Jump up the platforms and use the save room on your right. Return to the shaft and take the left door.
  10. 10
    Jump onto the platform and face right as you ride the zipline. Fire missiles to eliminate the swarm of enemies.
  11. 11
    Shoot the block on your left once you land safely, roll through the tunnel, and use a bomb before heading through the door.
  12. 12
    Climb up the shaft (wall jumps can save time). Use a missile to get through the red door on your right.
  13. 13
    Start running as the Speed Booster activates, destroying enemies. Continue across crumbling blocks and jump off the last one.
  14. 14
    Fly through the air and break blocks at the other end of the room. Shoot the switch above you and roll into a ball to grab the nearby Energy Tank.
  15. 15
    Bomb your way out of the hole and ride the zipline back left. Go back through the door to the shaft.
  16. 16
    Use the save room above you, then take the elevator up to Brinstar.
Tips
  • Use wall jumps in the shaft to save time.
