Brutal path

The "brutal path" is a room in Norfair. It appears, with significant differences between versions, in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission.
==Description==
In Victory Techniques for Metroid, a humorous scene ensues in this room. Samus looks directly into the hole of a Polyp, only for it to fire at her face, temporarily disfiguring her. Soon after that, she is attacked by a flying Gamet but defeats it easily and continues on her mission. Pages 94-96 depict this room and offer tutorials on how to defeat Polyps and Gamets, and to use the latter as a means of replenishing energy and Missile Ammo.
 When Samus passes through this room and continues westward, if she obtains the Screw Attack, when she returns to this hallway, 3 Barisute will appear within the room. Although the battle against this small army of Barisute may appear difficult at first glance, Samus can easily clear the room by dispatching these creatures with her obtained Screw Attack.
==Connecting rooms==
*"Superheated runway" (via Blue Door)
*"East green bubble shaft" (Metroid, via Blue Door)
*Save Room 3 (Zero Mission, via Blue Door)
==Inhabitants==
===Metroid===
*1 Squeept
*2 Sovas
*1 Polyp
*4 Multiviolas
*1 Air Hole spawning Gamets
===Zero Mission===
*Barisutes (1 on initial visits, 3 if Screw Attack is obtained)
==Trivia==
*In actuality, the Screw Attack itself does not trigger the 3 Barisute to appear in the Metroid: Zero Mission version of the room. As seen in Event Viewer, the flag 21 Screw スクリュー must be active in order for the 3 Barisute to appear. Normally, obtaining the Screw Attack from the Chozo Statue activates this flag.
