==Trivia==
*In Victory Techniques for Metroid, Samus is able to walk through the pillars in this room, while in Metroid they are solid.As translated by the Metroid Database: "Huh!? I can go through these blocks!" https://www.metroiddatabase.com/old_site/manga/manga_strategy_guide_en/ch_0004/page150-151e.png
*In The Shape of Happiness, Samus encounters Mini-Kraid in an elevator, and shoots him dead only to discover he was not the real Kraid. Out of laziness, Samus plants a note on Mini-Kraid's body saying he is the real Kraid, and considers him defeated.
