Thus, marks the point where i first died in my Play-through of Super Metroid. The mini-boss of Norfair, Crocomire slowly trudges toward the player. However, his body acts as a wall(even during invincibility frames), and there are spikes on the opposite side of the wall. So how do you beat him? When he opens his mouth, shoot a missile or a charge shot in it, and he will walk back a little bit. Keep doing this until he goes onto an unstable bridge, and falls into magma, but since this is Metroid, his death has to be as gruesome as possible. Instead of what happens to Bowser in (most) Mario games, You can literally see Crocomire's flesh melt off it's body! But he is not dead yet. When you go across the room, his almost dead body breaks the wall of spikes, and then crumbles into a pile of bone. I was so satisfied to beat him, because he was the 1st point i actually died, but I didn't know the charge shot did damage to him. Oh well.
