Precarious path

The "precarious path" is a room in Norfair. It appears, with differences between versions, in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission.
==Description==
In both games, this is an exceptionally long corridor with multiple midair block-like platforms and a lava lake below. Midway through the room is a wall that Samus must bypass via a crevice. It is accessed via the "east green bubble shaft" and leads toward the "Fire-Sea Room".

;187 DOWN AND TO THE RIGHT (pg. 70)
:"Use the Screw Attack to cut through the floor and burrow down to the save room's level, then blast your way down another level to the green hatch. Move to the right through the hatch. Hop from platform to platform, buzzing through enemies as you go. When you reach the full-screen barrier, fire through a pair of destructible blocks while standing to keep from breaking three lower blocks on the path ahead. Blast and roll."
;192 STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY LEFT (pg. 71)
:"Return to the area above the fake lava pit and blast the hatch as you run left. When your booster is charged, crouch, then blast off to the left to blaze a trail to Norfair's middle-left section."
