Physical description: Giant quadruped with large head and extending neck. Her
mouth is VERY large. The "nucleus" portion is again visible on her "stomach".
Strategy: Looks like Mama's mad that you killed her children! Immediately
switch to missiles and fire at her when you get the chance. First she'll
extend her neck and try to hit you with her nose. Stay where you are and take
the hit, shooting at her when you get the chance. The second time, she should
come at you with open mouth. There are a few alternate methods to hurt her
here, but if you're playing for the first time, I suggest you mash the fire
button as quickly as you can. When you hit her in the open mouth, she'll pause
in mid-lunge, allowing you to fire even more missiles down her throat.
After two lunges, she'll back up, then spit out some spiky...things at you.
Screw Attack them to avoid damage. She'll then begin to repeat her attack
pattern.
When you hit her with 180 missiles, she'll be done for. Congratulations,
you've beaten the game!
Alternate Strategy: Thanks to Ramza1 for thoroughly testing how to do this
trick, and describing it thoroughly. Most of the advice used with the previous
strategy still holds, but with one important difference: what you do when you
manage to hit her in the open mouth.
This time, when you stun her with a missile, quickly morph into ball form and
jump into the Queen's mouth. If you do it right, she'll close her mouth over
Samus. When she does this, stop holding left on your D-pad. Wait until the
Queen retracts her neck fully, then hold left until Samus rolls into the
Queen's stomach. Lay bombs quickly, and the Queen will spit you back out.
(Samus will take constant damage from being "eaten", but it's not too fast a
drain; don't panic.) Do this a total of 4-5 times, and the Queen will die.
NOTE: Through this final battle, you will not be able to pause your game.
NOTE 2: If this is your first time, and you start this battle with less than
200 missiles (unless you are using the stomach-bombing trick) or with low
health, morph into a ball and roll through the gap underneath where she sits.
You'll drop into the chamber with the Ice Beam.

* VII. ITEMS [ITEMS] *
**********************
This section will list the various items in the game, and their uses.
===============================
A. Charging Stations [RECHARGE]
===============================
Throughout the game, you'll find places to recharge your energy and your
missiles. You can always recharge at your ship, but often it's easier to find
recharges along your way. These are not items you can pick up; rather, you
touch them, and they recharge you fully. You can use them an infinite number
of times.
BIG ENERGY BALL
---------------
Looks like a Morph Ball-sized version of the smaller energy balls you pick up
from enemies. Refills your energy completely.
MISSILE BATTERY
---------------
Looks like a missile pod stood on its side (without the "base"). Refills your
missiles completely.
=======================
B. Expansions [EXPANDS]
=======================
Samus begins the game with 30 missiles and 99 energy. Throughout the game, you
will find ways to increase the maximum amount of energy and missiles you can
carry.
ENERGY TANK
-----------
Completely refills your health energy, and increases your maximum energy
capacity by 100. You can carry a maximum of 5 energy tanks, for a maximum of
599 energy. (There are 6 energy tanks in the game, but all the sixth one will
do is refill your energy to maximum.)
MISSILE POD
-----------
Increases your maximum missiles by 10. Also gives you a free 10 missiles when
you collect it. There are 22 missile pods in the game, allowing you to carry
a maximum of 250 missiles.
=======================
C. Beam Weapons [BEAMS]
=======================
Samus begins the game with her usual Power Beam. As she progresses through the
