Ice Beam room

The "Ice Beam room" is a room in Norfair. It appears in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission. A different room that serves the same purpose appears in Super Metroid, also in Norfair.
==Description==
In all games, this room contains the all-important Ice Beam, which Samus will need for the Metroids in Tourian.
===Metroid===
Regarding appearance, the room resembles other item rooms throughout Zebes, with the difference being that there is lava underneath the floor. If Samus lays a Bomb in the floor at the base of the wall under the statue, she will open a secret tunnel into a hidden back room. This room is constructed out of bricks and inhabited by a small group of enemies. There is an open gap in the floor that Samus can fall into if she is not careful, filled with the mentioned lava. From here, Samus can continue on through Norfair back out to the purple-bubble shaft.
