Metroid Zero Mission (GBA)

MOTHER BRAIN DEFEAT0RED! About two seconds after I sent a spleen venting email to DeKay, I gave it another go and turned that doggone brain into spongey morsels. Immediately following this is a rather tense dash up a vertical arrangment of collapsing platforms. This latter is done against the clock with much booming and shaking

NeYaaaaargh! Mother Brain is a dirty great pulsating GIT. If I’m not being knocked into the lava I’m being flattened by her Gaze Of Death. I suspect I’m not using the screw attack to best advantage. FAIL. Must Try Harder.
