:"There are three small barricades on the ceiling of the long corridor that runs to the area's left edge. Bomb the floor under the barricades to reveal launchers, then rocket up to clear away the blocks. You'll also have to clear away the enemies.
:You'll find another launcher under the sliding apparatus on the right end of the corridor. Use it to propel yourself to the apparatus, then ride in ball form to the left end of the corridor to collect a Missile Tank."
