Metroid Zero Mission (GBA)

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.

Mother Brain Found! Mother Brain ripped my spine out through my arse. Gah. I’m going to have to try a different strategy.
