"Bubble Mountain" is an unofficially termed large room of Norfair in Super Metroid.
Description[]
Bubble Mountain is comprised of green bubble-like material in a mountain-like formation, with an elongated protrusion of bubbles from the right wall. A trio of Grapple Points are embedded into the ceiling, to help Samus more easily navigate the room before acquiring the Space Jump. The lower chambers of the room are constructed of purple rocks interlaced with artificial metallic beams and a pair of Koma statues, with a few bubbles seeping down from the ceiling.
This room has seven Doors, the two highest of which are Green Hatches. Therefore, "Bubble Mountain" serves as a junction between rooms of Norfair, including a Save Station, a corridor connecting to the long horizontal path, and another corridor leading to the Speed Booster.
Rooms of a similar material were found in the original Metroid and later in Metroid: Zero Mission.

Trivia[]
- The green bubbles with red highlights, serving as the source of this room's nickname, are commonly seen throughout Norfair in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission, and are even present in the stage in the Super Smash Bros. series. However, in Super Metroid, these bubbles are exclusively found only in "Bubble Mountain", its adjacent rooms, and the nearby Speed Booster's room.
