==Drain==
The drain is a small room nearly identical to the previous antechamber, and connects from that antechamber to the "ball launcher speedway". The difference between this room and the antechamber is the presence of a secret tunnel (referred to as a drain in the strategy guideMetroid: Zero Mission: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, pg. 46: 087 DROP INTO THE DRAIN - "Two rooms into the long lower corridor, you'll find a weak block in the floor. It covers a dark, narrow passage. Plant a bomb to break the block, and fall into the lair's lower region.") in the floor directly underneath the door to the antechamber. This leads into a small chamber attached to a hallway where Mini-Kraid is found. A single Sidehopper can be found here, just like the previous room.

==Pipe shaft==
The "pipe shaft" is a tall shaft on the western side of Kraid's Lair. It does not need to be explored, but is one of several optional paths to Kraid himself.

A glass pipe was later added to this room in Zero Mission, hence the name.
