Missile locations

Before finding individual missiles strewn throughout the station you'll find your first missile at the designated Data Room indicated by the ship's computer. Once you've downloaded this concussive addition to Samus' Power Suit you'll be clear to find extra missiles. Each Missile Tank will grant you an extra 5 missiles, once finding all 48 missiles you'll have a maximum of 250.

Early on in the game when you first ride down the Main Elevator the SA-X will make its first appearance by destroying the wall to the left of the elevator. Beyond here you'll find a small room with the missile concealed behind Speed Booster blocks. Use the long corridor on the right to build up enough speed to break through.

From the room adjacent to the Data Room, bomb open a small tunnel in the bottom left corner and descend to discover a long corridor. Go through the left door to reach a large shaft leading down. Jump up to the small lone block on the platform above and lay a bomb on it. A pillar will rise up out of the block. Using the pillar, jump up and shoot open a small opening in the left wall and crawl through. You'll see this Missile Tank atop a high platform, bomb the ground three blocks to the left of the lone block in this room to cause another pillar to rise. Use this pillar to reach the Missile Tank.

5.

In the same water-filled room containing Missile S2.04 above, take a dip in the water. It'll be easier if you've got the Gravity Suit but you can still reach this one without it. Down at the bottom of the room, shoot the Skultera swimming around and bomb the ground where the left tree is in the foreground to reveal a pillar. Use this pillar to crawl through the small opening on the left, then head through the door there.

You'll spot this missile waiting on the other side of a wall, bomb the ground one block to the left of the small tree to raise up a pillar. You need to use the Jumpball to bomb open the small block in the wall, then crawl through to reach this missile. On the way out in the previous room bomb the lone block there to reveal a pillar to help you leave.

You'll need the Screw Attack and Space Jump to reach this one. Travel to the large room where you recovered the Hi-Jump/Jumpball abilities and Screw Attack through the wall up in the top right corner to find a hidden door ahead. Go inside to discover a massive cavern where this missile's hidden along with Power Bomb S2.05. Descend the narrow shaft and lay a Power Bomb at the base to reveal this missile in the wall covered by two Speed Booster blocks.

Run over to the right corner of the room and dash back to fire up the Speed Booster. Duck once Samus begins flashing and quickly somersault up to line up with the two blocks. Quickly fire to straighten Samus then press A and hold right to break through the blocks to reach this missile.

Right after you defeat the Security Robot outside the Data Room, climb up the shaft that it escaped via. Once up above shoot out the roof before frying all the enemies in the area, then run over to the door on the left end. Run back to the hole you entered this area via and duck to activate the Shinespark. Stand next to the hole in the ground and aim up to the left before Shinesparking up there. You'll break through a wall above where this missile awaits.

When proceeding through Sector 4 right after regaining the Gravity Suit and unlocking Level 4 Security Doors, you'll reach a large underwater chamber filled with two blowfish and several crabs firing projectiles on the walls. Swim up through the door in the top right corner of this room and go through the next corridor to find your path blocked by a large green/purple pillar. Standing next to the pillar, run back to the left and re-enter the large chamber with the blowfish.

You'll activate the Speed Booster just in time and break through the floor, then head through the door you'll find below. Run through the following corridor to build up enough speed for the Speed Booster, then duck and Shinespark up through the opening in the roof near the door at the end to find Power Bomb S4.03 above. You'll find this missile through the wall on the left, hop down into the small shaft and hold left to grab hold of the hidden access tunnel. Roll through to find this missile.

Right after finding the Ice Missile upgrade in the Data Room, go right and descend to the bottom of the next shaft you'll find. Roll through a small hidden entrance on the right wall at the base of the shaft to find yourself in a tall shaft leading skyward. Shoot out the roof over in the corner to gain access above, then blast the creature crawling around. Don't touch the X parasite when it appears and wait for it to reform into a Chute Leech.

Walk up to the creature and it'll launch itself into the air. Freeze it while it's still high above and use it as a stepping stone to reach the platform above. You'll now spot another creature crawling along the roof, destroy it and wait for the X to reform into a Ripper. In the center of the small indent up in the roof this missile's hidden, wait for the Ripper to hover to about the center of the room before freezing it to reach the missile above.
