The Trial Tunnel is a room in the Dark Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The room is quite small. In the center of the room is a Dark Temple Key, and to the right of that is a Light Crystal. It is the room accessed just off of the Dark Agon Temple entrance, by heading to the left from the Dark Agon Temple's lock.

The Aether version of this room is the Mine Shaft.

Development Data[]

Using out of bounds or free-movement camera reveals that this room appears much larger than initially seen, bearing an unused tunnel appearing identical to the one in this room's light world counterpart, the Mine Shaft. The Morph Ball tunnel behind the Dark Temple Key is still usable but blocked off by a solid wall (can be accessed using out of bounds cheats). No enemies are present and only the single Pit Block leading quickly to the lower part of the shaft remains and is usable. The camera actors inside the tunnel are not rigged properly or are absent, making Samus's travels inside the tunnel in Morph Ball somewhat confusing. A lower entrance is present and oddly also blocked off by a sand wall. A Safe Zone is present, despite Samus never entering the area under normal circumstances. An Empty doorway is present and when walked through it, correctly loads the connecting room Trial Grounds. On that side of the room, Mutated Ingworms block the door, preventing access to the Trial Tunnel's lower half. All of these unseen features suggests that the room was originally to play a much larger role than intended, possibly indicating an altered exploration layout most likely built around the acquisition of the Dark Temple Key.
