East green bubble shaft

The "east green bubble shaft" is a room in Norfair. It appears, with significant differences between versions, in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission.
==Description==
In both games, this is a vertical shaft composed of green/blue bubble-like material, with multiple levels accessible by laying Bombs in or shooting through parts of the floor. It is located on the western side of Norfair and connects to multiple rooms.
In Victory Techniques for Metroid, Samus comes to this room on page 97. The guide includes a tutorial on getting through the ceiling to the Screw Attack's door.
