You emerge from the doorway to see the scrapped remains of one of the blue robots. There will also be cockroach monsters, but they're pretty easy to avoid and die in one shot from the Blade. Watch out for the flying ones though; they have projectile attacks. You will find a save room soon enough with a bunch of non-aggressive cockroach monsters with whom you can speak. Talk to the one behind the counter and he'll give you the turbocharger if you have the Machine Gun, which is virtually mandatory, being that the Machine Gun recharges so slowly normally. If you don't have the Machine Gun, he'll offer to combine your Polar Star and Fireball for the Snake. The fact that this gun goes through walls is very useful in the labyrinth, but if you want the Spur, don't do it. | You emerge from the doorway to see the scrapped remains of one of the blue robots.

Keep going until you get to the next save room, and there will be a (kind of weird looking) physician and nurse, as well as Curley, looking somewhat distraught, on one of the beds. Talk to the physician to restore your health and get a key, and to Curley for more information about the Labyrinth, then head up to the door with a red cross above it. Be prepared - you're going to get into a boss fight in a moment. Open the chest for the cure-all, and Pooh Black will appear. After he's done, go back to the physician and give him the cure-all for Curley.

Note that there is a high up passage (visible on the map) that will lead you to a secret door, which will give you the Arms Barrier, a very useful item if you don't want to hold out for the Spur, and useful anyway if you are. There are several ways to get to the door: | |||
* If you have the Machine Gun on level 3, boost upwards by firing it down. | |||
* Go ahead past Monster X, talk to Professor Booster, and get the Booster 0.8. This will cause you to lose your chance to get the Booster 2.0 later, and also keep you from getting the best ending, but it will allow you to use the Booster 0.8 to reach the door to the room with the Arms Barrier. | |||
* Hold out for the Booster 2.0, and come back to this area much later in the game. | |||
* Kill all the Gaudi in the room, then jump onto the bouncing purple Critter and try to land on it at the highest point of its leap. You'll take damage, but you'll bounce off the Critter (you may have to press Jump when you hit it) and you can land on the ledge which leads to the secret passage. | |||
Next up, another boss fight! [[../Enemies#Monster X|Monster X]] is an annoying one, but it's doable. The Blade and Missile Launcher work best here. After he's done, go through the door and you'll hear the sound of a teleportation, and Booster will fall down the nearby ravine. If you follow him and talk to him (and you have no choice but to talk to him if you fall unless you have the level three Machine Gun), he will give you the Booster 0.8, then die. If you don't want that to happen, save, and make the tricky jump over the ravine. Reset if you miss (if he dies now, he won't give you the booster 2.0 later, so it's worth it to not let him die. You also can't get the third and best ending without the 2.0, so it is highly suggested that you get it). Obviously, this is much easier with the level three Machine Gun. | Next up, another boss fight! [[../Enemies#Monster X|Monster X]] is an annoying one, but it's doable.
