Missile locations

Before gathering Missile Expansions you'll need to find the Missile Launcher listed in Samus' Upgrades (it looks exactly the same as any other Missile Expansion). There's 50 missiles all up (including the first one), so it'll be just like an easter egg hunt to find them all. Each missile grants you an extra five, giving you a maximum total of 250.
