Substation West is a room on Norion in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It has a damaged counterpart elsewhere in the facility, Substation East.
Description[]
Substation West consists of a small hallway with a turbine that serves as a power source for local security and air-circulation systems. Some of the flooring of this room is super hot, so Samus must avoid walking on it to avoid taking damage. There is also a Morph Ball tunnel with randomly moving air-circulation pistons. Samus must be careful in the Morph Ball tunnel as the air-circulation pistons could push her onto the hot floor.
