Pumping station



A Pumping station (called Pump Priming in the level objects code) is a mechanism seen twice on Bryyo Fire in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, in the rooms Gel Processing Site and Temple Hall. These stations are used in Fuel Gel production and must be, as the name implies, pumped four times in order to progress. This is done by making the motion of forward pumping using the Wii Remote. Each time it is pumped, a green piston rises from its right side.

In Gel Processing Site, a pumping station is attached to a Fuel Gel flow regulator. After pumping it, Fuel Gel begins to leak out of two spouts, which Samus must ignite to rejuvenate the regulator and open up access to the upper levels of the room in her search for Rundas. In Temple Hall, using a pumping station causes liquid Fuel Gel to pour out of crevices in the walls, which Samus can freeze temporarily with an Ice Missile to traverse the corridor.

Pumping station handles are similar in appearance to Galactic Federation security levers, and have two green holograms spinning around in opposite directions.
