When Samus first steps into Norfair, she must access Crateria through this room to obtain the Power Grip, which allows her to explore the rest of the area. It is now set in a cave without any of the bubble-like material in the original version, and now has an elevator to Crateria, which did not exist in Metroid. In Zero Mission, the room has been overhauled. It appears in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission, with a slightly larger role in the latter.
' Transport to Crateria' is a room in Norfair. Above each ledge are blockages composed of Screw Attack Blocks, with a Pit Block against the pillars. Two Rippers are present in between the gap, which are difficult to avoid without the Ice Beam, which can freeze them into temporary platforms. The pillars also have two ledges protruding to either side. A pair of midair pillars now exists below the lift platform, holding up the Koma statues. A gap is present underneath the floor, but what is underneath is not made clear. The Koma statues are now found on short pillars below the elevator platform, which now has small Chozo Statues on either side. In Zero Mission, the room is slightly shorter and now comprised of rocky material. It appears, with slight differences, in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission.
