Cavern Entry is a room in Bryyo Fire in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Description[]
This room is simply, as the name implies, the entrance to the Gel Cavern. Several odd structures that have Fuel Gel growths descend from the ceiling, which make passage difficult. The first time Samus enters this room, she will find four Hoppers in this room. If Samus comes back to this room, a single Pirate Trooper can be found in this room. If Samus comes back to this room after destroying the Leviathan on Bryyo, she will once again find four Hoppers in this room.
Connecting rooms[]
- Save Station A (via Blue Door)
- Gel Cavern (via Blue Door)

Development notes[]
The room's internal name is 0v_bryyo_gauntlet_a. The keyword bryyo indicates the planet Bryyo, and the prefix 0v indicates that this is the 22nd of 23 sets of junction room throughout the planet.
The internal prefix 0v is shared by a connected trio of rooms consisting of this room, Gel Cavern (0v_bryyo_gauntlet_b), and Temple Access (0v_bryyo_gauntlet_c). The keyword gauntlet probably references the function of this trio of rooms as a set of trials through which Samus must engage enemies and navigate obstacles to traverse from the last Save checkpoint at Save Station A to the Temple of Bryyo.
