Stick to the low ground and fire charged beam shots directly at the SA-X to destroy it. Your beam must be fully charged to damage it. As it approaches, Space Jump over the SA-X to the other side of the floor while charging your beam, and release the shot when you land.

Chronologically speaking, SA-X is the second doppelgänger/clone of Samus Aran, with the first being Dark Samus.

As a woman in a male-dominated role, Samus has been widely considered a breakthrough for female characters in video games, and is one of the most beloved video game characters of all time by critics and fans alike.

The Metroid franchise has never been too cheery, but GBA's sole new Metroid entry cranked the spook factor up to eleven.
