Shaktool Chamber

The Chamber is a corridor in Maridia in Super Metroid. It is found further into the area, near the sections with quantities of quicksand. The room leads to the Spring Ball and as such presents an obstacle to its immediate acquisition. The middle part of the room is blocked by a wall of sand that is indestructible to Samus's weapons. The room is home to the Shaktool, a crude mechanism with the ability to penetrate this sand and "help" Samus. However, a wall of Power Bomb Blocks must be destroyed using a Power Bomb before it can destroy the sand. Any Power Bomb Samus uses will not destroy the Shaktool, as it is rather sturdy. After it has cleared the way, it can hurt Samus if she comes in contact with its rotating legs. She is free to destroy it if she wishes, or collect the Spring Ball.
