Golden Statues




 * the Gold Statue appears in Super Metroid. It is a large statue composed of four seperate ones, taking the forms of the four major bosses in the game before Mother Brain. These bosses include Kraid, Phantoon, Draygon, & Ridley. Ridley rests atop the head of Phantoon, while Kraid & Draygon are to Phantoon's sides.
 * This Statue takes the same role as the Statues of Kraid & Ridley in the original Metroid(Later just their heads in Metroid Zero Mission), as they both have in common the role of guarding the entrance to Tourian.
 * As you defeat the bosses depicted, their corresponding statues will each one-by-one lose their golden glow, & seem to "die." Once all four are defeated, the entire structure will sink to the bottom of the chamber, caving in the floor & revealing the entrance to Tourian, which is underwater.
