Norfair's upper-right path

Norfair's upper-right path is a room in Norfair. It appears, with significant differences between versions, in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission.
==Description==
In both games, this is the topmost corridor in Norfair.
The center of the first room contains a standing Chozo Statue, which blocks the path and must be used. When Samus morphs into its hands, it places a nav point on her map that eventually leads to the Speed Booster in Kraid's reliquary. Afterwards, Samus can morph into its hands to replenish her energy and Missile Ammo. The second room contains no lava, and features Rippers, which Samus can freeze and use as platforms to leave.

:"You'll discover a load of Missile Tanks in the upper-right section of Norfair. When you reach the top of the blue shift,[sic] jump up to the ledge on the right side and fire straight up. You'll break through a line of blocks and discover an area above the ceiling. Jump up, open the next hatch and search for more Missiles."

;054 NEXT STOP - BRINSTAR (pg. 41)
:"As you cross Norfair's upper-right path, you'll encounter a standing Chozo Statue. After you roll into the statue's arms, the ancient artifact will point you to lower Brinstar - Kraid's territory - to show you the location of the Speed Booster."
;055 FIRE AND ICE (pg. 41)
:"Enemies leap from the lava. When the closest one reaches your height, freeze it with your beam, then hop onto it. Do the same with the room's remaining enemies to keep from falling into the hot stuff."
