Metal panels

Metal panels refers to two different obstacles in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the removal of which ensures that Samus progresses.
==Hangar Bay==
In this room, metal panels cover a pair of ventilation ducts on a platform that Samus reaches with a lift. These panels are rectangular and appear in sets of four over the ducts, which constantly inhale and exhale air. The panels are fragile, and easily be destroyed by Samus with a Bomb. When Samus enters the duct inhaling air, she will be launched through the duct into a control booth, where she breaks through another set of panels. In this booth, she can remove Energy Cell ID: GA-7485W-2 from its station and remove an energy shield in the room. Using the duct inhaling air here will launch Samus back through the other vent below.
==Construction Bay==
Another type of metal panels appears on SkyTown, Elysia. They appear in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and are part of a puzzle in the Construction Bay. Three of these panels are installed underneath a structure, in between several Grapple Points. To remove them, Samus must use a Grab Ledge to climb into the structure, and then use her Morph Ball in a small tunnel. Each panel is connected to a Bomb Slot; when the slot is used, the safety clamps keeping the panels in place detach, and the panels will fall into the abyss of Elysia below.
The panels physically resemble ornamental frames encountered elsewhere in SkyTown, although these are indestructible, grey and opaque.
