Ore Processing

Ore Processing is a room in the Phazon Mines. It appears in Metroid Prime.
==Description==
This room has three floors. There is a big pillar in the center of the room with three different colored Spider Ball Tracks. The pillar is made up of three separately rotated segments. Each track leads to a floor, and Samus must solve a puzzle which consists of laying bombs so the pillar spins and the tracks connect. The last control unit is blocked by Bendezium, so Samus must use Power Bombs to access it. At the top are two Grapple Points for reaching Waste Disposal.
==Connecting rooms==
*Waste Disposal (via White Door)
*Storage Depot B (via White Door)
*Elevator Access A (via White Door)
*Research Access (via White Door)

==Etymology==
The room's name contains "Ore". Phazon ore is known to be a raw, unprocessed form of Phazon that is believed to be the crystal-like rocks found in several places, such as this room.
==Trivia==
*The White Door leading into Waste Disposal can be opened with the Phazon Beam (via hacking) and only from this side.
*The Morph Ball puzzle in this room was rumored to have been based on the Nintendo tumbler puzzle created by Gunpei Yokoi, who created the Metroid franchise.Cameos on the Gamecube | NinDB Forums (proboards.com)
