Acidic concourse

The "acidic concourse" is a room in Kraid's Lair/Kraid. It appears, with significant differences between versions, in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission.
==Description==
In both games, this is a corridor accessible from the left side of the entrance shaft, which leads into a vertical shaft with fake acid.
==Connecting rooms==
*"Kraid entrance shaft" (via Blue Door)
*Bottomless Pond (via Blue Door)
==Inhabitants==
===Metroid===
*4 Skrees (3 grey, 1 green)
*Geegas spawning from 5 Air Holes
*10 Sidehoppers (3 green, 7 red)
There are no enemies in this room in Zero Mission.
==Items==
;Missile Tank (Zero Mission)
:Requires Gravity Suit and Speed Booster. This tank is found in the acid. The Gravity Suit is necessary to obtain it, since it allows Samus to move freely in liquid environments. Samus must drop into the center of the acid (between two platforms above it) and shoot through Fake Blocks in her way. She must then run to the right until her Speed Booster activates, over a slope and quickly Ballspark through a short tunnel to the right. This will take her to the tank. To exit, she can either return the way she came or activate her Speed Booster again, then Ballspark up through part of the tunnel. This takes her back to the entrance of the room.
