Super Metroid/Brinstar

Brinstar is a main area of Planet Zebes. It is being divided to a jungle-like, lively area, and a silent, red-soiled area.

Getting to Brinstar
Although it may seem like it isn't accessible from the get-go, Brinstar is the first place to go when arriving on Zebes. After you passed the old Mother Brain lair, an elevator leads to a deserted cave which is not connected to the main section of Brinstar. This place is the original start point of Metroid for the NES, where you can find the Morphball. See Crateria if you haven't gotten it yet.

However, you will be able to visit the main part of Brinstar after acquiring the Morph Ball Bomb from the Chozo Statue. After getting the bomb, battling the statue and leaving its chamber, go back the way you came until you reach the spot where you had to morph into a ball. Take the way on the right by climbing the steps and bombing away the blocks with your new item (, as shown when getting it). After leaving the tunnel, head left until you reach a wall made of violet-grey stones. You can simply blast this wall. Pass the gate behind it, and run through the cave. At its end, you will find your first Energy Tank. The next room holds green Space Pirates, which are immune to your standard beam. Use missiles instead, or, if you're insane, bombs should also work. When reaching the bottom, you can choose between two gates. Take the left one. The right door leads to Tourian, an area you will explore much later on. Another corridor awaits you that contains the elevator that will lower you down into Brinstar.
