:"Open the red hatch to the right of the elevator and hop across platforms to avoid contact with the bubbling lava. [sic] You'll find a Missile Tank along the way."
;072 BLAST FIRST (pg. 44)
:"Two large enemies bounce around a small space near the end of the area's longest corridor. Break at least one of the groups of blocks between you and the enemies, then use the Ice Beam and missiles to defeat the beasts before they escape."
;POWER UP AT THE PIPE (pg. 46)
:"A steady stream of enemies pours out of the pipe near the right end of the long corridor. Fire at the creatures as they appear, and pillage the energy and missiles that they leave behind."
What the guide calls "lava" is actually acid.
